Abstract

See full text

A user interface is presented for the interaction, by a viewer, with the content of a multi media presentation and functions related to this content. The user interface enables the navigation, by a viewer, among dynamic selectable regions (hot spots) within a multi media presentation. These hot spots are defined prior to the video's presentation, and are used to allow the viewer to invoke functions associated with the multi media presentation. The user interface allows the viewer to move from one hot spot to another with a simple interface, such as a tab key on a remote control. The user interface constrains the possible locations of an on-screen cursor to the hot spot locations. Properties of the hot spots, such as priority, region size, and display parameters are modifiable and customizable by the viewers's system automatically or through interaction with the viewer.
