This is clearly evident in the recent price reductions by major companies in the sector. The containment of sale prices is a vital key when setting up a viable and sustainable business venture in the digital cross media content. Possible solutions to this challenge could be found by automating, accelerating and re- structuring production processes, and providing solution to the content protection. Such solutions will en- able the production processes to be faster and cheaper, while at the same time providing new capabilities to support safer distribution. AXMEDIS aims to meet the challenges of market demand by: i. reducing costs for content production and management by applying Artificial Intelligence techniques for content composition, representation (format) and workflow; ii. reducing distribution and aggregation costs in order to increase accessibility with a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) platform at Business-to-Business (B2B) level, which can integrate content management sys- tems and workflows; iii. providing new methods and tools for innovative and flexible Digital Rights Management (DRM),

  • Mystoryplayer: Experiencing Multiple Audiovisual Content for Education and Training
    Multimed Tools Appl DOI 10.1007/s11042-014-2052-9 MyStoryPlayer: experiencing multiple audiovisual content for education and training Pierfrancesco Bellini & Paolo Nesi & Marco Serena Received: 1 November 2013 /Revised: 24 February 2014 /Accepted: 24 April 2014 # The Author(s) 2014. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract There are several education and training cases where multi-camera view is a traditional way to work: performing arts and news, medical surgical actions, sport actions, instruments playing, speech training, etc. In most cases, users need to interact with multi camera and multi audiovisual to create among audiovisual segments their own relations and annotations with the purpose of: comparing actions, gesture and posture; explaining actions; providing alternatives, etc. Most of the present solutions are based on custom players and/or specific applications which force to create custom streams from server side, thus leading to restrictions on the user activity as to establishing dynamically additional relations. Web based solutions would be more appreciated and are complex to be realized for the problems related to the video desynchronization. In this paper, MyStoryPlayer/ECLAP solution is presented. The major contributions to the state of the art are related to: (i) the semantic model to formalize the relationships and play among audiovisual determining synchronizations, (ii) the model and modality to save and share user experiences in navigating among lessons including several related and connected audiovisual, (iii) the design and development of algorithm to shorten the production of relationships among media, (iv) the design and development of the whole system including its user interaction model, and (v) the solution and algorithm to keep the desynchronizations limited among media in the event of low network bandwidth.

  • Digital Item Processing
    Digital Item Processing Rui Filipe Santos Rocha [email protected] Supervisors: Maria Teresa Andrade (DEEC, FEUP) Pedro Carvalho (INESC) January 2008 Abstract Abstract MPEG‐21 is a standard still under specification, which aims to establish a platform capable of distributing multimedia content enabling access and consumption in a flexible and interoperable way, protecting owner’s rights. This dissertation will have as main objective, implement Digital Item Processing (which is Part 10 of MPEG‐21 standard) in a way that a client application, which is an application developed to allow a user to interact with MPEG‐21 multimedia contents, won’t need to process the basic operation (e.g. play, execute, and others) defined by the standard. After the implementation this will be integrated in an existing application to be validated viewing Digital Items and running associated operations. Digital Item Processing 1 Resumo Resumo O MPEG‐21 que é uma norma emergente ainda em fase de normalização, que pretende definir uma plataforma capaz de distribuir conteúdos multimédia de forma a poderem ser acedidos e consumidos de forma flexível e interoperável protegendo os direitos de autor. Esta dissertação terá como principal objectivo, implementar Digital Item Processing (que corresponde a Parte 10 da norma MPEG‐21) de maneira a que a aplicação cliente, que é uma aplicação desenvolvida para permitir a um utilizador interagir com conteúdos multimédia baseados na norma MPEG‐21, processe o menor número possível de operações básicas (p.ex. Play, execute, entre outras) definidas pela norma. Após a implementação integrar‐se‐á numa aplicação de forma a validar a implementação consumindo Digital Items e correndo operações associadas aos mesmos.

    1 This thesis entitled “Contribution to an Architecture for Multimedia Information Management and Protection Based on Open Standards” Written by Víctor Torres Padrosa And directed by Dr. Jaime Delgado Mercé Has been approved by the Department of Information and Communication Technologies Date: May 23th, 2008 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor per la Universitat Pompeu Fabra 2 Dipòsit legal: B.54974-2008 ISBN: 978-84-692-0968-4 3 Author: Víctor Torres Padrosa Thesis advisor: Catedràtic d’Universitat Jaime Delgado Mercé Contribution to an Architecture for Multimedia Information Management and Protection Based on Open Standards Abstract The main goal of this research project is to participate in the definition of a generic architecture for the protection and management of digital rights in a multimedia content management scenario following open standards as much as possible. In order to achieve our goal, several standards and solutions will be analysed and taken into account. A relevant standard to be considered is MPEG-21, as it specifies a multimedia framework that provides interoperability among systems that deliver multimedia content. On the other hand, the requirements of other de facto standards and initiatives will also be analysed so as to define a general architecture that is not only restricted to manage a specific kind of content or format. The first part of the contribution involves the integration different parts of the MPEG-21 standard: Digital Item Declaration (DID), Rights Expression Language (REL), Rights Data Dictionary (RDD), Digital Item Processing (DIP) and Event reporting (ER). The second part of the contribution consists in the definition of a generic DRM architecture.
