Abstract

Abstract Methods and apparatuses for processing media data for transmission in a data communication medium. A set of data indicates how to transmit a time related sequence of media data according to a transmission protocol. The set of data, includes a time related sequence of data which is associated with the time related sequence of media data. The set of data may be utilized by a digital processing system to transmit the time related sequence of media data (e.g., by packets generated according to the transmission protocol and the set of data).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 116 words
A computer readable medium comprising: a time related sequence of media data; a set of data which, when pressed by a digital processing system, indicates to said digital presences how to transmit said time related sequence of media data according to a transmission protcol, wherein said set of data is a time related sequence of data associated with and separate from said time related sequence of media data; a first set of instructions to cause a digital processing system to determine a format of said time related sequence of media data; a second set of instructions to cause said digital processing system to determine said transmission protocol, wherein said transmission protocol comprises a packet data protocol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 116 words
A computer readable medium comprising: a time related sequence of media data; a set of data which, when pressed by a digital processing system, indicates to said digital presences how to transmit said time related sequence of media data according to a transmission protcol, wherein said set of data is a time related sequence of data associated with and separate from said time related sequence of media data; a first set of instructions to cause a digital processing system to determine a format of said time related sequence of media data; a second set of instructions to cause said digital processing system to determine said transmission protocol, wherein said transmission protocol comprises a packet data protocol.
