ABSTRACT:
A method and data presentation apparatus for accelerated presentation of segmented data to a user are disclosed. According to the present invention, a data set, including a plurality of data segments each delimited by a segment boundary, is provided. In response to an invocation of an accelerated presentation of the data set, data within the data set is presented to the user at a generally accelerated data rate while a preselected group of data adjacent to each segment boundary is presented at a slower data rate than the generally accelerated data rate, thereby enabling individual data segments within the data set to be distinguished during accelerated presentation. In a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the accelerated presentation of the data set is accomplished by presenting fewer than all data within the data set. Alternatively, in a second embodiment, accelerated presentation is accomplished by decreasing the duration of presentation of each datum within the data set. In both embodiments, the generally accelerated data rate preferably increases toward a maximum data rate in response to continuation of the accelerated presentation of the data set.
