1. A method for encoding device independent multi-modal content including an arrangement comprising one or more of a plurality of mode-independent tokens, each token corresponding to a standard predefined effect, said method comprising:
- defining a token for each of one or more standard predefined effects, each token referencing a different generic envelope definition of a signal, and each token being compatible for playback via a plurality of different types of effect producing elements that includes effect producing elements for at least two different sensory modes, wherein the generic envelope definition referenced by the token is adapted for being mapped to one or more effect producing elements in another device including a target device; and
composing one or more tokens for playback together as an arrangement.

Abstract
A method is provided for encoding device independent multi-modal content including an arrangement comprising one or more of a plurality of tokens, where each token corresponds to a standard predefined effect. The method includes defining a token for one or more standard predefined effects, wherein the token is adapted for being mapped to one or more effect producing elements in a target device. One or more tokens are then composed for playback together as an arrangement.

24. A composer circuit in an apparatus for encoding device independent multi-modal content including an arrangement comprising one or more of a plurality of mode-independent tokens, said composer circuit comprising:
-
a user input adapted for receiving a user selection corresponding to one or more tokens associated with one or more standard effects intended for playback on another device including a target device, where each token references a different generic envelope definition of a signal, and the generic envelope definition referenced by each token is compatible for playback via a plurality of different types of effect producing elements that includes effect producing elements for at least two different sensory modes, and a controller adapted for forming an arrangement of one or more tokens intended to define the one or more standard predefined effects to be produced by one or more effect producing elements in the target device. - View Dependent Claims (25)

26. An effect producing circuit in an apparatus for playback of an arrangement of one or more mode-independent tokens, said effect producing circuit comprising:
-
a receiver for receiving an arrangement of one or more tokens associated with one or more standard predefined effects, where each token references a different generic envelope definition of a signal, and the generic envelope definition referenced by each token is compatible for playback via a plurality of different types of effects producing elements that include effects producing elements for at least two different sensory modes; a storage element including one or more prestored standard predefined effects, each associated with a corresponding one of the one or more tokens; one or more effect producing elements; and a controller adapted for mapping the standard predefined effects associated with the token in the received arrangement with the one or more effect producing elements. - View Dependent Claims (27)
