A Multimedia Presentation System on Web-Dynamic Homepage Approach

摘要

Although there are many multimedia presenta- tion systems on the market, they have some shortcomings and most of them only can work on one single computer, and few of them can work on Web. Thus, in the thesis we develop a net- work multimedia presentation system to let users easily design the multimedia presentation without restriction on technology or presentation time and place. Our system includes 3 main compo- nents: User Interface that includes temporal specification editor, spatial specification editor and multimedia object interface, Pre- sentation Interface and Knowledge Base. There is a dynamic homepage generator in our system and we propose a displaying algorithm based on the Allen's theory, that there exist 13 tem- poral relationships between two intervals, for synchronizing the media objects.
