Abstract
The present invention provides an improved method for annotating a text document or other media event with any other media event or events. One aspect of the invention allows authors to quickly and easily, without the hard programming of the prior art, create a sequence of media events that are connected to a particular word or phrase in a text, a portion of a graphic illustration, or to an audio or video clip. The media events used in a sequence may be selected from a library of media events, or may be created by the user from scratch or by modifying existing media events. Another aspect of the invention allows a trigger, and the sequence of media events connected to that trigger, to be associated with a particular 'filter'. A 'filter', as the term is used in the present invention, is a particular grouping of triggers. Any desired number of filters and triggers may be created.
