Abstract: A system that enables the efficient identification and/or retrieval of certain timeline content from amongst e.g. a great many options of similar content. Generally, a set of timeline metadata that describes some aspect or aspects of the content of the timeline is produced. This set of timeline metadata includes timing and descriptive information that maps the described aspect or aspects to specific locations within the source timeline. When a user initiates a search of the timeline content, the search criteria is quickly matched against the contents of this separate set of metadata, rather than the raw timeline data itself. When the search criteria is matched, the metadata, original data, or both may be returned.

Abstract: System and method that handles the inconsistent processing of interactive media (e.g. digital games, music visualization software, video playback software, animation software, etc.) and the generally consistent timeline delay to enable synchronization of messages and events with the playback of potentially variable-rate timelines.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for synchronization of audio data, such as music, with events that occur in interactive media, such as computer games. In particular, a user can define choreography data that an interactive computer application can use to synchronize to audio, such as music, one or more aspects of the application, such as the GUI, animations, rendering, sound effects, etc.
