Abstract
Encrypted mixed media data (201) may be read by many browsers (101) from a server (108). Downloaded encrypted environment data includes data modification access codes. A user access code is received and an access check (214) is performed against the decrypted environment data (213). The user access code is processed in combination with the data modification access codes to determine an extent to which a user is permitted to view, modify or interact with the environment data under the control of a data modification process (215). Animation data (202 to 209) is received and animation data is rendered (217) whereafter the rendered data is displayed (218).
Claims22
A method of receiving mixed media data that includes three-dimensional environment data and time based animation data, comprising the steps of:
- downloading encrypted environment data that includes data modification access codes;
- receiving a user access code;
- decrypting said data;
- processing said user access code in combination with said data modification access codes to determine an extent to which a user is permitted to view, modify or interact with said environment data;
- receiving animation data;
- and
- exercising said animation data with respect to said environment data.
10 A method according to claim 9, wherein said environment data modified by a user is stored in the modified form for future use.
Mixed media data reception apparatus configured to receive mixed media data that includes three-dimensional environment data and time based animation data comprising
- downloading means for downloading encrypted environment data that includes data modification access codes;
- receiving means for receiving a user access code;
- decrypting means for decrypting said data;
- processing means for processing said user access code in combination with said data modification access codes to determine an extent to which a user is permitted to view, modify or interact with said environment data;
- configuring said downloading means to receive animation data;
- and
- operating said processing means so as to exercise said animation data with respect to said environment data.
- A computer readable medium having computer readable instructions executable by a computer such that, when executing said instructions, a computer will perform the steps of
- downloading encrypted environment data that includes data modification access codes;
- receiving a user access code;
- decrypting said data;
- processing said user access code in combination with said data modification access codes to determine an extent to which a user is permitted to view, modify or interact with said environment data;
- receiving animation data;
- and
- exercising said animation data with respect to said environment data.
