Abstract
Some exemplary embodiments of the invention provide enhancements such that, in accordance with a script, an electronic device/apparatus is capable of responding to a defined event by rendering a multimedia element (e.g., an image, a video clip, an audio clip) on the electronic device/apparatus. This further enhances the utility of the apparatus and enables it to operate in accordance with new functions, for example, by monitoring the user'"'"'s blood pressure or blood sugar and providing announcements according (e.g., when a user'"'"'s measured blood sugar exceeds a specified value). In one non-limiting exemplary embodiment, a method includes: subscribing to at least one event defined in a script, wherein at least one multimedia element is defined in the script; and rendering, in response to receiving a notification when the at least one event occurs at an apparatus, the at least one multimedia element in the apparatus.
