Abstract
A memory in a video/audio-processing unit retains data of video and audio received from a video mail system and data of new input video and audio. According to user operations, a video/audio-processing unit creates metadata. The metadata includes range data representing a quotation range or ranges of the received video and audio, and information that represents the arrangement order of the new input video and audio. In response to the received video and audio, the video mail system transmits only the metadata and the new input video and audio to a video mail system. According to the contents of the metadata, the video mail system uses the transmitted video and audio and thereby reproduces the overall new video and audio.
Claims21
A method of reproducing a video/audio data set, comprising the steps of:
- (1) storing first data set of a video/audio data set into first memory;
- (2) copying the first data set from the first memory to second memory;
- (3) designating one or plural ranges in the first data set and a sequence of the ranges on the second memory;
- (4) sending the ranges and the sequence from the second memory to the first memory;
- and
- (5) reproducing the ranges in order of the sequence with reference to the first memory.
A software product for reproducing a video/audio data set by computer, comprising the processes of:
- (1) storing first data set of a video/audio data set into first memory;
- (2) copying the first data set from the first memory to second memory;
- (3) designating one or plural ranges in the first data set and a sequence of the ranges on the second memory;
- (4) sending the ranges and the sequence from the second memory to the first memory;
- and
- (5) reproducing the ranges in order of the sequence with reference to the first memory.
A system for reproducing a video/audio data set by computer, comprising:
- first memory for storing first data set of a video/audio data set;
- second memory for being copied the first data set from the first memory;
- means for designating one or plural ranges in the first data set and a sequence of the ranges on the second memory;
- means for sending the ranges and the sequence from the second memory to the first memory;
- and
- means for reproducing the ranges in order of the sequence with reference to the first memory.
