Description
Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 85 === Due to the impressive sound and visual effect, and the low price of personal computer hardware, multimedia presentations have been used in many areas. People use multimedia facilities to present their products, plans, and lectures. How to quickly design a multimedia presentation of a high quality has became a hot research issue. Although there are some commercial presentation design software available on the market. However, most presentations generated by these systems communicate with the addresses in a single direction manner. For this reason, an Intelligent Multimedia Presentation System (IMMPS) to overcome the shortage has been developed. This thesis focus on the discussion of a subsystem of the IMMPS project. Within the last two years, I have developed a multimedia database system that supports the reuse of multimedia presentations and resources. By the concept of object-orientation, I defined four type of objects: frame, frame group, resource, and resource group. The database consists of two layers: the frame layer and the resource layer. In the first layer: A frame group is a collection of frames, which is the basic presentation unit to be reused. A resource group in the second layer is a collection of resources to be used by a frame, or a frame group. In the hierarchy, I used four type of links to group frames and/or resources for object reuse. I believe that, the integration of the database graphical user interface and the intelligent multimedia presentation design system will allow the user to design a wonderful presentation quickly and easily by searching and selecting the resource and presentation pieces using a database browser.
