Abstract: Methods for transmitting an instant message while a computer working in a full-screen mode. The method includes a computer executing the full-screen mode and a display control program first, and then fetching a message from an instant messenger module, and transmitting the message to the display control program, which embeds the message into a frame to be displayed next by the full-screen mode, and displaying the frame with the message. In such a way, a user is allowed to transmit and receive the message via the instant messenger module while a computer working in a full-screen mode, thus improving the convenience of using the full-screen mode.

Abstract: A device, a system and a method for remotely processing multimedia stream are disclosed. In the present invention, an instant communicating module is used for establishing a communication interface between a remote device and a stream operating device. An operating function for the multimedia stream is executed according to an operating command given by the remote device. Furthermore, a virtual capturing unit is used for converting the format of the multimedia stream into a specific streaming format supported by the instant communicating module. Finally, the processed multimedia stream is output to the remote device via the instant communicating module. Therefore, the present invention not only realizes the ideal of remotely receiving multimedia stream, but also provides various operating functions for multimedia stream, such that users may enjoy the pleasure of viewing or listening multimedia stream remotely at their will via instant communicating module.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing multimedia stream and a method for transmitting multimedia stream are provided. In the present invention, a virtual capturing unit is used as a medium between a plurality of multimedia stream sources and multimedia stream destinations. The format of the multimedia stream is converted to a specific streaming format such as a video capturing source format and an audio capturing source format. The converted multimedia stream is then outputted to multimedia stream destination. Therefore, the variety of multimedia stream that the multimedia stream destination can use is increased. In addition, based on the configuration of the present invention, the program of the multimedia stream source and multimedia stream destination can be developed independently, so that the complexity of development is reduced.
