SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IN-LINE VIEWING OF MULTIPLE FILE TYPES OVER A NETWORK USING A SINGLE PLAYER

摘要

Systems and methods for in-line viewing of files of multiple types, including files in mixed file formats, utilizing a single viewer or player are described. A single viewer is capable of displaying multiple file formats of both static and dynamic nature. The viewer may be used to display a wide variety of content accessible from a single web page, and web designers need only embed the single viewer to access many content types. The viewer receives a selection of a file to access and identifies the file type of the selected file. The viewer provides proper controls associated with the file type and displays or provides other access to the selected file. Thus the viewer provides a more streamlined experience to the user and simplifies accessing files of various file types. The viewer may be embedded in a web page or may be provided in a pop-up or modal window.
