Abstract
Abstract A process performed in a data processing system includes receiving an input selecting one of the plurality of multimedia presentations to be relocated from the first memory to the second memory, scanning the linked data structures of the selected multimedia presentation to recognize a plurality of resources corresponding to the selected multimedia presentation, and generating a list of names and locations within the selected multimedia presentation corresponding to the identified plurality of resources. The process also includes renaming the names on the generated list, changing the names of the identified plurality of resources in the selected multimedia presentation to the new names on the generated list, and moving the selected multimedia presentation and the resources identified on the generated list to the second memory.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
195 words
In a data processing system having a first memory and a second memory, wherein the first and second memories are adapted for storing a plurality of multimedia presentations and a plurality of resources, wherein each one of the plurality of multimedia presentations includes a plurality of linked data structures, wherein a plurality of the linked data structures identify a plurality of resources each having a name including a location identifier, the method comprising the steps performed in the data processing system of: receiving an input selecting one of the multimedia presentations to be relocated from the first memory to the second memory; scanning the linked data structures of the selected multimedia presentation to determine the plurality of resources identified by the selected multimedia presentation; generating a resource-name list of names including location identifiers corresponding to the plurality of resources identified by the selected multimedia presentation; changing the location identifiers on the resource-name list; updating the names of the identified plurality of resources in the selected multimedia presentation to reflect the changed location identifiers on the resource-name list; and relocating the updated multimedia presentation and the resources listed on the resource-name list to the second memory.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
195 words
In a data processing system having a first memory and a second memory, wherein the first and second memories are adapted for storing a plurality of multimedia presentations and a plurality of resources, wherein each one of the plurality of multimedia presentations includes a plurality of linked data structures, wherein a plurality of the linked data structures identify a plurality of resources each having a name including a location identifier, the method comprising the steps performed in the data processing system of: receiving an input selecting one of the multimedia presentations to be relocated from the first memory to the second memory; scanning the linked data structures of the selected multimedia presentation to determine the plurality of resources identified by the selected multimedia presentation; generating a resource-name list of names including location identifiers corresponding to the plurality of resources identified by the selected multimedia presentation; changing the location identifiers on the resource-name list; updating the names of the identified plurality of resources in the selected multimedia presentation to reflect the changed location identifiers on the resource-name list; and relocating the updated multimedia presentation and the resources listed on the resource-name list to the second memory.
