OBJECT-ORIENTED AUDIO RECORD/PLAYBACK SYSTEM

摘要

A technique for providing routing of various multimedia events throughout the course of a multimedia presentation using a computer with a storage and a display. A processor with an attached display, storage and multimedia device builds a component object in the storage of the processor for managing the multimedia device including at least one port for exchanging multimedia information. The processor includes a connection object for connecting the at least one port to the multimedia device to facilitate the exchange of multimedia information and the processor routes information between the multimedia device and the component object port. A list of component objects are stored in the storage and current status for each of the components in the list is also stored. Then, when a multimedia player is invoked, a test is performed on each of the components in the list, and their associated multimedia devices, to determine what aspects of the multimedia presentation can be run.
