FIELD: physics; computer technology. ^ SUBSTANCE: present invention pertains to coupling time with multimedia objects, and more specifically, to provision for time references for multimedia objects. These elements are linked to other elements, which can be part of another external document. Elements of the external document are grouped in time packages, which are set forth when the elements are to be played back, when elements of separate documents are to be played back, and when multimedia objects are to be played back. Other documents can assume playback synchronisation based on the link to the separate document. The external document can contain a listener element, which reacts on an event, acting on the elements in the separate document. ^ EFFECT: provision for time references on multimedia objects through a separate document, containing elements which are indirectly referenced on the multimedia objects. ^ 40 cl, 4 dwg |
