  • Publication number: 20260017318
    Abstract: A system with a simple, intuitive, efficient interface is described for creating multi-tagged image files and playing back the tags upon demand. The system includes a display for displaying the image, a user interface is adapted to receive user input to create a user-selectable zone around each selected location, a recording device for creating an object associated with each user-selectable zone and a packing device that merges the image, the user-selectable zones and their associated objects into a tagged image file having a unique filename extension indicating that it is a tagged image file, and saving the tagged image. On playback, the image is displayed to the user who may select a user-selectable zone. The object file associated with that zone is played back. The user may also select an option that causes the objects to autoplay in a pre-determined sequence. The user may also delete, edit, or re-record objects.

  • Publication number: 20190272094
    Abstract: A system with a simple, intuitive, efficient interface is described for creating multi-tagged image files and playing back the tags upon demand. The system includes a display for displaying the image to a user, a user interface is adapted to receive user input to create a touch-sensitive zone around each selected location, a recording device for creating an object associated with each touch-sensitive zone and a packing device that merges the image, the touch-sensitive zones and their associated objects into a tagged image file having a unique filename extension indicating that it is a tagged image file, and saving the tagged image. On playback, the image is displayed to the user who may select a touch-sensitive zone. The object file associated with that zone is played back. The user may also select an option that causes the objects to autoplay in a pre-determined sequence. The user may also delete, edit, or re-record objects.
