System for creating a multimedia presentation by integrating local program materials with remotely accessible program materials

摘要

The interactive multimedia system supplies the necessary computer program intelligence and user interface for a remote computing device to communicate with a user's local computing device over a public communication network connection. The interactive multimedia entertainment system executes on the remote computing device and allows a user to interactively define and execute a multimedia task on the remote computing device by way of the public communication network. The user mounts a single purpose recorded medium in a media drive located in the local computing device and the interactive multimedia entertainment system incorporates the audio and/or visual components contained on the recorded medium with audio and/or visual components stored on the remote computing device by the interactive multimedia system to create a multimedia presentation. The user's single purpose recorded medium is therefore enhanced to create a user defined multimedia presentation. A music listener's experience can therefore be enhanced via the Internet by adding a visual component to a particular song or group of songs on a specific audio CD.
