Multimedia print driver dialog interfaces
First Claim
1. A system having a display for printing comprising:
- a user interface for receiving instructions from a user for controlling segmentation of audio or video time-based media content for printing based on one or more features within the audio or video time-based media content, the features including any of speech recognition, optical character recognition, facial recognition, speaker detection, facial detection and event detection, and for generation of a printable representation of the media content, the user interface comprising a content selection field displaying a graphical representation of the audio or video time-based media content and the instructions from the user comprising selection of a segment of the graphical representation of the audio or video time-based media content;
a media analysis module communicatively coupled to the user interface, the media analysis module analyzing the features of the audio or video time-based media content to extract the segment of the audio or video time-based media content selected from the graphical representation based at least in part on the instructions received from the user in the user interface;
a media representation generation module for generating the printable representation of the audio or video time-based media content based at least in part on the extracted segment of the audio or video time-based media content and the instructions received from the user in the user interface; and
an output device for printing the printable representation of the audio or video time-based media content to a tangible medium.

Abstract
The system of the present invention includes a media-printing interface that allows users to interact with a multimedia transformation process and format multimedia data to generate a representation of multimedia data. The present invention provides a user interface that permits users to interact with media content analysis and media representation generation. A media analysis software module receives media content analysis instructions from the user through the user interface, and the media analysis software module analyzes and recognizes features of the media content, such as faces, speech, text, etc. The media representation can be generated in a paper-based format, in digital format, and in any other representation formats. The user interface includes a number of fields through which the user can view media content and modify the media representation being generated. The methods of the present invention include interacting with a user interface to control the media data analysis and media representation generation, and analyzing features of media data. The methods also include driving the media data analysis, and driving the media representation generation by receiving instructions and sending instructions regarding media representation parameters. The methods can also include generating a media representation.
