Abstract
A computer-based method and device for conveying interrelated image and narrative information is disclosed, suitable for use with a variety of types of information ranging from product information and maintenance procedures to cooking recipes, game commentaries, and travel guides. The first component of the device is an authoring environment used to specify images, narrative text, and interrelationships between elements of each. A second component is a conversion device that prepares the authored materials for viewing. The third component of the device is a delivery or run-time system, capable of being implemented in a standard World-Wide Web browser, which interacts with an end-user to present the information in an integrated fashion, such as by displaying or highlighting relevant portions of the image when the related portion of the narrative text is accessed and vice versa. The abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).
