Abstract
Disclosed is a method for synchronizing audio data with secondary data. The method includes the step of providing indexes of events corresponding to frames in an audio stream, the step of relating the secondary data to the indexes of the events, the step of checking the indexes of the events to determine whether an event of interest is reached or not, and the step of playing some of the secondary data corresponding to the event of interest if the event of interest is reached.
Claims9
A method for synchronizing audio data with secondary data comprising the steps of:
- providing indexes of events corresponding to frames in an audio stream;
- relating the secondary data to the indexes of the events;
- checking the indexes of the events to determine whether an event of interest is reached or not;
- and
- playing a segment of the secondary data corresponding to the event of interest if the event of interest is reached.

A multimedia player comprising:
- an audio storage unit for storing audio data;
- a secondary data storage unit for storing a pointer and a custom file of secondary data;
- and
- a playing unit for playing the audio data stored in the audio storage unit, determining whether an event of interest is reached or not, and searching the secondary data storage data for a segment of the secondary data corresponding to the event of interest and playing the segment of the secondary data if the event of interest is reached.

A multimedia data-providing device comprising:
- an audio recording unit for transforming sound to audio data, and recording the audio data;
- a secondary data unit for providing a pointer and a custom file of audio data, determining positions for the secondary data to emerge and providing indexes for relating segments of the secondary data to the events based on frames of an audio stream while the audio recording unit records the audio data;
- and
- a storage unit for storing the audio data and the secondary data in different channels.
