System and methodology for image and overlaid annotation display, management and communication
DCFirst Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a database configured to store a video presentation of a composition to be performed by at least one performer; and
a subsystem comprising;
selection logic configured to select a plurality of segments of the video presentation of the composition as selected segments that pertain to an assignment of the at least one performer;
reordering logic configured to reorder the selected segments to display according to the selection of segments;
annotation logic responsive to a user input and configured to add annotations to the selected segments of the video presentation, to be overlaid atop the selected segments of the video presentation, wherein the annotations have annotation data associated with the location within the selected segments;
association logic configured to provide mapping data to map the annotation data to the location within the selected segments; and
memory for storing the video presentation, the annotation data and the mapping data.

Abstract
An electronic image visualization system, such as a music stand system and display, management and communications methodologies relating thereto are presented. The electronic music stand system is comprised of a performer subsystem comprising a processing subsystem, librarian logic, performance logic, and communications management logic. The communications management logic provides management of communication via the communications interface with external apparatus responsive to the performance logic and the librarian logic. The user input apparatus and the display apparatus can be integrated into a touch-screen input display. The user input apparatus can alternatively be at least one of a touch-tablet, a stylus-based writing tablet, a mouse, a keyboard, a joystick, a game controller, and a switch. In a preferred embodiment, the librarian logic, the performance logic and the communications management logic are defined by program data stored in the data storage apparatus, and the processor is responsive to the program data for managing data formatting, displaying music, and management of communications of data with the external apparatus. In one embodiment, two Performer subsystems are operable alternatively as one of a single appliance as a linked set a linked mode and as two independent appliances a stand-alone mode, wherein in the linked mode each of the two Performer subsystems operate cooperatively with each other as a linked set to provide a two page display on the video presentation, and wherein in the stand alone mode each of the two Performer subsystems operates independently and mutually exclusive of the other to provide two independent and mutually exclusive single page displays on the video presentation. The present invention also relates to a method for providing for video display of music responsive to the music data stored in a music database. The method is comprised of defining a page of music image data from the music database; defining ordered logical sections; storing the mapping in a memory for selective retrieval; and providing for the video display of the music responsive to the mapping and the storing.

22. A system comprising:
-
memory configured to store a composition database; a processing subsystem configured to generate video image data in an image database representative of a video display presentation for a plurality of pages, the plurality of pages representing a composition to be performed by at least one performer, the processing subsystem being configured to process the video image data to define a mapping for logical sections of the video image data to at least one assignment of the at least one performer; means for selecting from among the logical sections of the video image data to define a mapping for a grouping of the logical sections for a defined page for video display; annotation means for providing annotation data, representative of a display of additional markings, associated with the defined mapping for a respective one of the logical sections; reordering means configured to reorder the logical sections of the video image data according to the at least one assignment; and means for providing a video display including the reordered logical sections of the video image data according to the video image data, the reordering means, and the annotation data and responsive to the mapping for the logical sections and to the associated mapping for the annotation data and respective logical sections for the defined page for video display. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
