  • Publication number: 20240364770
    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.
