Abstract

A method and system for processing online/offline multimedia data are disclosed. The system comprises a remote mainframe, a local host and a portable apparatus. When the portable apparatus is electrically connected with the remote mainframe and the local host, the portable apparatus can immediately exchange multimedia data exchange with the remote mainframe and the local host. When the portable apparatus is not electrically connected with the remote mainframe and the local host, the portable apparatus can independently process the multimedia data previously received from the remote mainframe and the local host; also the portable apparatus can update the multimedia data with the remote mainframe and the local host when the portable apparatus is electrically reconnected with the remote mainframe and the local host. With the system configuration, the present invention features online/offline multimedia-data processing capabilities.

Claims17

Dependent claims

A method for processing online/offline multimedia data, comprising major elements and following steps:

sending, via a local host, a primary multimedia data comprising a markup language document;
receiving, via a portable apparatus, said primary multimedia data, the multimedia data-processing performance of said local host is greater than that of said portable apparatus, wherein
the operating system installed on said portable apparatus runs a primary software stored within said portable apparatus, such that said primary software displays a user interface in accordance with said markup language document;
generating, via said user interface, a trigger to said primary software, wherein
when triggered, said primary software accordingly generates at lease one controlling order;
and
said secondary software receives said at least one controlling order;
checking whether said portable apparatus is electrically connected with said local host, when said portable apparatus and said local host are electrically connected (i.e., on-line), executing a procedure comprising the following steps:
sending said at least one controlling order via said portable apparatus;
receiving and processing, via said local host, said primary multimedia data in accordance with said at least one controlling order in efforts to generate new primary multimedia data and update the orfinal said primary multimedia data;
sending, via said local host, said updated primary multimedia data to said portable apparatus;
when said portable apparatus and said local host are not electrically connected (i.e., offline), executing a procedure comprising the following steps:
storing and displaying said secondary multimedia data via said portable apparatus, wherein said secondary multimedia data are part of said primary multimedia data;
and
processing, via said portable apparatus, said secondary multimedia data to generate and display new secondary multimedia data in accordance with said at least one controlling order, and updating the original said secondary multimedia data.

12 more elements

A system for processing online/offline multimedia data, comprising:

a local host, sending a primary multimedia data comprising a markup language document;
and
a portable apparatus, receiving said primary multimedia data, wherein the multimedia data-processing performance of said local host is greater than that of said portable apparatus, said portable apparatus comprising:
a CPU;
a display unit;
and
a storage medium for storing multiple software, said multiple software comprising:
an operating system;
a primary software, run by said operating system in an effort to have said primary software display a user interface in accordance with said markup language document, said user interface being utilized to generate a trigger for said primary software such that said primary software generates at least one controlling order according to said trigger;
and
a secondary software, run by said operating system in an effort to have said secondary software display said primary multimedia data on said display unit and receive said at least one controlling order, wherein
said portable apparatus checks whether it is electrically connected with said local host, when said portable apparatus and said local host are electrically connected (i.e., on-line), said portable apparatus sends said at least one controlling order to said local host, said local host receives and then processes said primary multimedia data in accordance with said at least one controlling order to generate new primary multimedia data which in turn are sent back to said portable apparatus,
when said portable apparatus is not electrically connected with said local host (i.e., offline), said storage medium stores said secondary multimedia data, and said CPU processes said secondary multimedia data stored within said portable apparatus in accordance with said at least one controlling order to generate new secondary multimedia data which are subsequently displayed on said display unit, wherein secondary multimedia data are part of said primary multimedia data.
