Abstract

The paper proposes a new multimedia synchronization specification method, called SSTS (Synchronization Specification method for Temporal and Spatial events) that can specify spatial events as well as temporal events synchronizations between multiple media objects in a single framework. In this proposed method, temporal and spatial events of a media object are specified as nodes, and their temporal relations are specified as edges, in a synchronization specification graph. This approach helps to easily specify the temporal relation that one temporal or spatial event triggers other temporal or spatial events without breaking the media object into several independent media objects. The paper also presents a prototype authoring system based on SSTS with ScriptX under Windows95 to show the usefulness of proposed specification method
