Multimedia editing method using templates describing common logic structure, layout, and physical operation

摘要

A multimedia editing apparatus including a template manager, a material information manager, a template operator, a logic structure synthesizer, a layout structure synthesizer, and a physical operation determiner. The template manager manages a template describing therein a logic structure, a layout structure, and a physical operation common to a diversity of multimedia content. The material information manager manages material information such as text, photo, and video. The template operator combines material information extracted from the material manager with a template extracted from the template manager. The logic structure synthesizer synthesizes a logic structure in a template with material information. The layout structure synthesizer synthesizes a layout structure in a template with material information. The physical operation determiner determines physical operations of material based on the synthesized logic structure which material information a physical operation in a template should use.
