Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems generate an object in a portion of an electronic display. The object is generated as a shape formed by a pattern of a first plurality of pixels being illuminated for a first sequence of frames and a second plurality of pixels not being illuminated for the first sequence of frames. During the first sequence of frames, each set of illuminated pixels from the first plurality of pixels is separated from another set of illuminated pixels by a set of non-illuminated pixels of the second plurality of pixels. In response to an event, the object in the portion of the electronic display is generated by illuminating pixels of the second plurality of pixels for a second sequence of frames and not illuminating pixels within the first plurality of pixels for the second sequence of frames.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a digital media file conversion and integration system including a server coupled to the Internet to allow users to download media files to a server the Internet. The system contains devices to screen, compress, and update the media files, devices to break down the media files into low level components, devices to convert one or media files to an intermediate format and then combine the intermediate formats to create an output format, devices to convert output formats to a presentation file, electronic storage to allow third party access to the presentation file through the Internet or email. Presentation files can be created for electronic devices such as portable digital assistants or cellular phones. Users can choose from several output formats. Users can subscribe to the presentation service or pay per use. In an alternate embodiment, users can author digital media files on a personal computer and download the authored file to the presentation conversion system.
