Abstract
A control software system for generating and distributing motion media for operating a target motion device. The control software system generates the motion media based on a motion program generated at a content server. The control software system distributes the motion media to a client browser associated with the target motion device.
Claims14
A method of communicating motion data through a communications network, the method comprising the steps of:
- connecting a control software system, a content server, and a client browser to the communications network;
- storing a plurality of motion programs at the content server, where each motion program corresponds to a motion sequence;
- connecting to the client browser a target device capable of translating motion media into physical movement;
- selecting a selected motion program stored on the content server using the client browser, where the selected motion program corresponds to a desired motion sequence;
- transferring the selected motion program from the content server to the control software system;
- generating motion media at the control software system based on the selected motion program by generating motion packets based on the selected motion program;
- transferring the motion media from the control software system to the client browser by transferring motion packets to the client browser;
- transferring the motion media from the client browser to the target device;
- and
- operating the target device based on the motion media to create physical movement corresponding to the desired motion sequence.

- transferring the selected motion program from the content server to the control software system;
- generating motion media at the control software system based on the selected motion program by
- generating motion packets based on the selected motion program, and
- combining the motion packets into a motion script corresponding to entire the motion media;
- and
- transferring the motion media from the control software system to the client browser;
- transferring the motion media from the client browser to the target device by transferring the motion script to the client browser;
- and
- operating the target device based on the motion media to create physical movement corresponding to the desired motion sequence.
