Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an interactive and customizable tour with a guide for part of the world-wide web by dynamically adapting tour navigation options and recommendations according to gathered navigation route information. SOLUTION: The tour is stored in a network data base 430 and referred and retrieved with the identifier 440 of an URL, etc., called a tour ID. A touring server 410 maintains a tour structure, takes out an object in a tour cache 450 in advance, and streams the web object as a tour to a touring client 400. Interactive points including tour navigation options and recommendations regarding dynamic objects are provided according to information on preference, navigation route information on an audience is gathered and analyzed in the tour, and the route navigation options and recommendations are dynamically adapted.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display an image of an interesting scene from the stored environment map of the scene and from the video data of the scene. SOLUTION: The video data of a scene are received and stored, the direction of the scene is selected and the video data are retrieved corresponding to the direction. An environment map is rendered so as to generate a first image to the direction, the video data and the first image are synchronously connected to the direction (710) so as to form a synthesized image and the synthesized image is displayed. Preferably, a step for continuously receiving video data packets having image data and sound data is provided further, and while the selected part of the image data is displayed, the sound data are continuously reproduced. Further, a step for hierarchizing the generated video data and the first image by rendering the environment map is provided.

Abstract: In this invention streaming video data is embedded within a panoramic image for display. The invention teaches a method and system for displaying an image of a scene of interest from a stored environment map of the scene and from video data of the scene. The method includes the steps of: (A) receiving and storing the video data of the scene; (B) selecting an orientation of the scene; (C) retrieving video data according to the selected orientation of the scene; (D) rendering the environment map according to the selected orientation of the scene to generate a first image for the selected orientation; (E) synchronously combining the retrieved video data and the first image to form a composite image for the selected orientation of the scene of interest; and (F) displaying the composite image. In one embodiment the method for displaying the image of the scene of interest further includes a step of continuously receiving video data packets that include image data and sound data. In this embodiment the sound data is continuously played while selected portions of the image data are displayed. In another embodiment, the method for displaying the image of the scene of interest further includes a step of layering the video data and the first image generated by rendering the environment map. In the present invention layering techniques include, for example, drawing order layering, z-buffer-hiding layering, and chroma-key layering.

Abstract: A method and system for manipulating or modifying identifiable objects in a standard broadcast or Internet-based multimedia stream according to a control specification and a content specification. Viewers and/or organizations can independently specify accept able levels of content on multiple dimensions to satisfy the content specification while mi nimizing the filtering or blocking to the viewers. A "fuzz ball" control specification is provided for masking some portion of a video frame. Several fuzz ball specifications can be overlaid t o address multidimensional content specifications or rating systems. The manipulation of the multimedia stream can take place at the client (set-top box or computer), intermediate node, the content server or a combination thereof. Proxy servers can modify content specificat ions for outgoing requests, enabling organizations to specify intranet-wide policies. Multicas ting can be supported by using a single stream delivered to multiple clients, each modifying the v ideo using a different specification. The specification to facilitate modification can be done at d ifferent granularity levels: the video, a group of frames, or individual frame level and can also be time-based. Various protocols can be used to provide the content and/or control specific ation, including the VBI of a standard broadcast, PICS, RTSP and MPEG protocols.
