Methods And Systems For Generating A Markup-Language-Based Resource From A Media Spreadsheet

A system for generating a markup-language-based resource from an electronic media spreadsheet comprising a plurality of cells, the system comprising:

• means for receiving first and second cell information for first and second cells of an electronic media spreadsheet to produce as first and second cell outputs first and second media streams, respectively, via the electronic media spreadsheet, wherein the second cell information includes an expression dependent on the first cell output for producing the second media stream;
• means for generating a markup-language-based resource having first and second markup language representations of the first and second cells, respectively;
• and
• means for generating directions compatible with the markup-language-based resource representing the expression of the second cell,
• wherein the generated directions are configured for processing by a web browser with the markup language-based resource to produce a presentable representation of the second media stream via the web browser.

A computer readable medium embodying a computer program, executable by a machine, for generating a markup-language-based resource from an electronic media spreadsheet comprising a plurality of cells, the computer program including executable instructions for:

• receiving first and second cell information for first and second cells of an electronic media spreadsheet to produce as first and second cell outputs first and second media streams, respectively, via the electronic media spreadsheet, wherein the second cell information includes an expression dependent on the first cell output for producing the second media stream;
• generating a markup-language-based resource having a first and second markup language representations of the first and second cells, respectively;
• and
• generating directions compatible with the markup-language-based resource representing the expression of the second cell, wherein the generated directions are configured for processing by a web browser with the markup language-based resource to produce a presentable representation of the second media stream via the web browser.

A system for generating a markup-language-based resource from an electronic media spreadsheet comprising a plurality of cells, the system comprising:

• a cell access manager component configured for receiving first and second cell information for first and second cells of an electronic media spreadsheet to produce as first and second cell outputs first and second media streams, respectively, via the electronic media spreadsheet, wherein the second cell information includes an expression dependent on the first cell output for producing the second media stream;
• and
• an export translator component configured for generating a markup-language-based resource having a first and second markup language representations of the first and second cells, respectively, and for generating directions compatible with the markup-language-based resource representing the expression of the second cell,
• wherein the generated directions are configured for processing by a web browser with the markup language-based resource to produce a presentable representation of the second media stream via the web browser.
