Abstract
In the recent years, Internet has become a resource for active communication and active repository of various types of knowledge bases. As the Internet is getting popular, the demand for cross cultural exchanges, archived multimedia movies, archived news clips and children stories and educational stories has increased tremendously. People are retrieving the archived information, modifying them, and archiving or transmitting newly created information for future use. PDAs are becoming new portals for retrieving remotely this continuously modified knowledge base. Based upon this paradigm, many researches for Internet based languages and international standards for multimedia transmissions are fast emerging. . Many new multimedia formats are being developed for multimedia communication using XML as the intermediate language. Recent W3C standard MPEG-7 is based upon XML. However, the growth of the demand is much faster than the growth of the bandwidth. XML has become an international standard for low level structured data transmission. In this research, I describe our effort to transmit multimedia movies over the Internet with reduced bandwidth requirement while retaining the needed QoS (Quality of Service). We have developed a STMD (Single Transmission Multiple Display Paradigm) that exploits representation of object components as hierarchical graphs, transmits components and hierarchical graph over the Internet, and reconstructs the image at the Client end. The model uses STMD and static analysis of archived movies to reduce the data transmission requirement. The lack of memory in PDAs has been solved using server directed buffer management. The model has been extended to transmit 3D object based movies, and interactively change them using a new concept of ^ voice activated dynamic XML^ where multimedia representation using XML is modified using voice activated commands to create new movies interactively.
