A system for connecting a video object to various multimedia objects to enable an object-oriented simulation of a multimedia presentation using a computer with a storage and a display. A plurality of multimedia objects are created on the display including at least one connection object and at least one video object in the storage. Multimedia objects are displayed on the display, including at least one video object. The multimedia object and the video object are connected, and information is routed via the connection between the multimedia object and the video object to create a multimedia presentation.

7075001, 345716, 345764

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 variety of multimedia objects are defined in the storage and grouped in logical relationships to enable multimedia presentations. A display is used to create the presentations interactively by positioning objects representative of the multimedia events and joining them with geometric figures, such as line segments. Each object can then be directly manipulated via a mouse or other pointing device to position a multimedia object to a particular position, or adjust the playback rate of a multimedia object.

A digital processing system for monitoring sound effects produced by codecs during a signal processing session is provided. The digital processing system comprises, a sound source for producing signals for processing, a sound monitor having at least two channels for monitoring sound quality of the sound source, a sound recorder for recording the sound source, a playback device for playing a recorded file of sound produced by the sound source, a codec simulator for simulating sound effects produced by codecs, a plurality of codecs for compressing and decompressing sound files and a control interface for sampling, adjusting, and implementing an optimum codec based on monitoring of sound effects produced by codec simulation. A user controlling the system may monitor sound variances produced by any one of the plurality of codecs affecting the quality of sound from the sound source during signal processing of the source sound without interruption of the signal-processing session.

An object-oriented framework is used to create multimedia application programs which route multimedia data from a multimedia source, such as a storage, to a multimedia presentation device for presentation. A variety of multimedia objects are defined in the storage, each of which has input and output ports, and a display is used to create the presentations by means of interactive graphics. Each of the objects generates its own graphic image and the application program is created by positioning the graphic images on the display and connecting them together with other connecting objects that generate graphic images, such as line segments. When the graphic images are connected, the underlying objects connect their input and output ports together to form the multimedia application program. The connecting objects can also perform data processing in the process of passing information from one object to another.

A method and system for enabling a set of object interface application elements and telephony system elements. Particular objects may be chosen depending on which elements of the telephony system will need to be interfaced. A particular object is capable of interfacing with one or more elements of the telephony system. The elements of the telephony system may be any identifiable aspect of the telephony system. For example, the objects could represent a handset or a line. Less tangible elements can also be represented, such as signals or procedures, including call progress tones, call setup, call hold, conference calls, or other call features.

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.
