Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and a method for a multimodal media interface that enables the display of and interaction between multiple media files. The system uses a multimodal format/interface in which media files are displayed in one or more tiles. The system also allows for communication and interaction between the tiles, enabling the exchange of data therebetween. The system is also configured to retrieve data from external entities, such as search engines or application servers, which are then displayed on the tile. The multimodal interface provides a means for the users to view, compare, and interact with various types of media files concurrently, and allow data/content of the media files to be modified/updated based on internal and external information, thereby improving the user experience.

Abstract: A multi-media video conferencing platform and method which includes a user database configured to store usernames and details; a processor configured route multiple media streams to a user location; and a compiler configured to present a multimedia template at a client workstation, the template having a plurality of tiles, where each tile corresponds to a different media type, and the compiler is configured to identify a media type of an incoming media stream or media presentation. The processor routes the incoming media to a tile having a matching media type so that the media stream or presentation displays in the tile corresponding to its media type. The template presented by the compiler has tiles corresponding to at least incoming streaming video, incoming still media, and two-way interactive video.

Abstract: An interactive sports apparel that includes a scannable code forming part of the apparel, and a server configured to simultaneously deliver static media content and streaming media content to content placeholders residing on a scanner that scans the code on the apparel. The static and streaming media each have content based on proximity of the scanner to the apparel, and a user profile associated with the scanner.
