- Appl. No: 12/525638
- Application Filed: January 25, 2008
- Assignees: Streamezzo (Rennes, FR)
- Claim: 1. A method, comprising: translating, by a server, a textual description of a service, including a text portion and at least one program instruction, into a service program comprising computer executable instructions; after performing the translating, receiving, by the server, a request from a terminal for the service; responsive to the request: identifying, by the server, at least one characteristic of the terminal, including management logic associated with the terminal, identifying, by the server, a plurality of characteristics of the service, including logic configured to manage external resources required by the service and logic configured to manage media used by the service, creating, by the server, an execution environment to include the identified at least one characteristic of the terminal and the plurality of characteristics of the service, and executing, by the server, the service program within the execution environment, the executing causing content in the form of binary data to be generated; and transmitting, by the server, the binary data generated from the execution of the service program to the terminal.
- Claim: 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the translating and the executing implement a single programming interface having scene vocabulary used in the textual description of the service.
- Claim: 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the scene vocabulary includes elements referring to at least one type of media.
- Claim: 4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising controlling said scene vocabulary, prior to said translating, to verify that the text portion corresponds to elements of the scene vocabulary included in the single programming interface.
- Claim: 5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising converting the text portion into the computer executable instructions using the single programming interface.
- Claim: 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least one program instruction relates to at least one multimedia object.
- Claim: 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one program instruction relates to at least one address pointing to at least one multimedia content or other content.
- Claim: 8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising multiplexing the binary data of the content, at an output of the server, with binary data generated independently of the content.
- Claim: 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting and the executing are carried out in parallel so that the binary data is transmitted to the terminal as it is being generated.
- Claim: 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one characteristic of the terminal is contained in the request by the terminal.
- Claim: 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein a dictionary of instructions and rules is utilized for translating the textual description of the service to the service program comprising the computer executable instructions.
- Claim: 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the management logic associated with the terminal includes management logic for a type of the terminal.
- Claim: 13. The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the execution environment to include the identified at least one characteristic of the terminal and executing the service program within the execution environment allows for adaptation of the service described by the textual description based on at least one characteristic of the terminal.
- Claim: 14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the logic configured to manage external resources required by the service includes logic configured to manage access to external databases.
- Claim: 15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the logic configured to manage media used by the service includes logic configured to manage compliance with a graphic charter requiring the use of visual or audible logos.
- Claim: 16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the service is a dynamic service, the text portion is multimedia presentations within which graphic objects have dynamic behaviors and the at least one program instruction is at least one navigation rule enabling navigation between the multimedia presentations.
- Claim: 17. A server including a processor for performing a method including: translating, by the server, a textual description of a service, including a text portion and at least one program instruction, into a service program comprising computer executable instructions; after performing the translating, receiving, by the server, a request from a terminal for the service; responsive to the request: identifying, by the server, at least one characteristic of the terminal, including management logic associated with the terminal, identifying, by the server, a plurality of characteristics of the service, including logic configured to manage external resources required by the service and logic configured to manage media used by the service, creating, by the server, an execution environment to include the identified at least one characteristic of the terminal and the plurality of characteristics of the service, and executing, by the server, the service program within the execution environment, the executing causing content in the form of binary data to be generated; and transmitting, by the server, the binary data generated from the execution of the service program to the terminal.
- Claim: 18. A computer program product recorded on a non-transitory machine-readable medium, wherein the computer program product includes program code instructions executable by a processor for implementing a method, comprising: translating, by a server, a textual description of a service, including a text portion and at least one program instruction, into a service program comprising computer executable instructions; after performing the translating, receiving, by the server, a request from a terminal for the service; responsive to the request: identifying, by the server, at least one characteristic of the terminal, including management logic associated with the terminal, identifying, by the server, a plurality of characteristics of the service, including logic configured to manage external resources required by the service and logic configured to manage media used by the service, creating, by the server, an execution environment to include the identified at least one characteristic of the terminal and the plurality of characteristics of the service, and executing, by the server, the service program within the execution environment, the executing causing content in the form of binary data to be generated; and transmitting, by the server, the binary data generated from the execution of the service program to the terminal.
