Multimedia information transfer via a wide area network

摘要

Using a music oriented Web site, a "student" user (26) requests a tutorial or tour of a musical artist or genre on the World Wide Web portion of the Internet (10). An "expert" user (24) peruses the "student" personal music library and creates a playlist for that library to assist in further understanding of the music by the "student" user (26). The playlist is transferred to a server (16) which generates a command file. This command file is sent to the "student" user (26) to control various multimedia components (22) according to the "expert" user's selection. This tutorial may be accompanied by the "expert" user's personal commentary on his/her selections. <IMAGE>
