Abstract
A layout engine responds to a format file referenced to selected audio, video and selected image files. A rendering engine generates journal display data defining a 3D journal image in accordance with the formal file, the journal display data being provided to the display and corresponding to a 3D model. A bookshelf engine manages multiple 3D journal images.
Claims26
A computer readable medium having computer executable instructions for use with a computer system including a display and a user selection device for selecting audio files, video files, and image files, said instructions comprising:
- an engine responsive to a format file referenced to the selected audio files, the selected video files and the selected image files for defining a content and a format of a 3D journal,
- wherein the defined content and the defined format are adapted for use in generating journal display data defining a 3D journal image, the journal display data being provided to the display and corresponding to a 3D model.
A computer readable medium having computer executable instructions for use with a computer system including a display and a user selection device for selecting audio files, video files and image files for defining a content and a format of a 3D journal, said instructions comprising:
- a 3D model;
- and
- an engine generating journal display data defining a 3D journal image in accordance with the defined content and the defined format,
- wherein the journal display data is provided to the display and corresponds to the 3D model.
A computer readable medium having computer executable instructions for use with a computer system including a display, said instructions comprising:
- a plurality of journals, each of which includes selected audio files, video files, and image files which form the journals;
- an engine generating bookshelf display data defining a 3D bookshelf image of the plurality of journals, the bookshelf display data being provided to the display and corresponding to a bookshelf file.
A computer readable medium having stored thereon a data structure for use with a computer system including a display and a user selection device for selecting audio files, video files, and image files, said data structure comprising:
- a format file referenced to the selected audio files, the selected video files and the selected image files for defining a content and a format of a 3D journal;
- and
- wherein the defined content and the defined format are adapted for use in generating journal display data defining a 3D journal image, the journal display data being provided to the display and corresponding to a 3D model.
A computer readable medium having stored thereon a data structure for use with a computer system including a display and a user selection device for selecting audio files, video files, and image files, said data structure for use with the selected audio files, the selected video files and the selected image files for defining a content and a format of a 3D journal, said data structure comprising:
- a 3D model;
- and
- journal display data defining a 3D journal image in accordance with the defined content and the defined format,
- wherein the journal display data is provided to the display and corresponds to the 3D model.
A computer readable medium having stored thereon a data structure for use with a computer system including a display and a user selection device, said data structure comprising:
- a plurality of journals, each of which includes selected audio files, video files, and image files which form the journals;
- bookshelf display data defining a 3D bookshelf image of the plurality of journal, the bookshelf display data being provided to the display and corresponding to a bookshelf file.
