analysis is used to determine if the input data element is to be discarded or if one or more output elements are to be selected and presented in one or more output data streams application_number US 99211504 A description the processing system receives inputs in various formats such as text audio video images and other formats and transforms the inputs into a multimedia output in fig1 which illustrates the high level processing steps of the overall system an input data stream 2 which may be in a variety of formats is received by the system the input stream 2 is processed 4 whereby the input is analyzed settings and rules are applied to the input the input is stored in memory and a determination is made as to whether the input data contains an embedded command or text requiring further processing based on system rules and user settings the text stored in memory is analyzed and processed thereby to produce the display conversion 6 if a successful determination is made to display the elements a synchronization of all of the relevant display elements 8 occurs such that the simultaneous presentation of the visual audio textual and other multimedia can occur after the display elements have been synchronized the display elements are sent to an output device whereby the conversion elements are displayed 10 after the system receives the input data 2 the input is analyzed 12 in fig2 whereby a combination of the user 39 s settings and system rules determine which processing routines will be executed on the input 2 settings and rules means 14 which.
