ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an editing method, and particularly to an editing method in a multimedia synchronous training and presentation system.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The advent of computer and communication brings a lot of information distributed by books, articles, audio and video media. People would be lost without a suitably auxiliary tool to efficiently learn knowledge from the information. Conventional audio/video tools such as video cassette recorders (VCRs) are used as training or presentation apparatus, in which the information of the cassettes is repeatedly and sequentially played and rewound, and therefore are easily becoming aging due to the electrical-mechanical parts resided therein.
Although multimedia computing provides tools and circumstances in facilitating training or presentation, it is still not flexible enough to completely replace the conventional apparatus such as the video cassette recorder mentioned above because of its lacking of some functions and the integration there among. For example, up to now, there is no integrated multimedia system disclosed for facilitating users or learners to take notes directly and simultaneously in a computer, from which they are learning. A need has therefore been arisen to disclose an integrated multimedia system, in which users have lots of editing tools in hand, so that the integrated multimedia system can provide all the functions found in conventional training and presentation apparatus and beyond.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, a method is provided for performing editing in a multimedia training and presentation system that substantially provides user autonomy and transparency. In one embodiment, a basic setting used in said multimedia synchronous training system is firstly performed, and a curriculum used in said multimedia synchronous training system is then input. Next, multimedia teaching information is input, wherein the multimedia teaching information includes video and audio teaching information. Thereafter, points of emphasis are input, wherein the points of emphasis include emphasis of the multimedia teaching information. A flag representative of playing time of the multimedia teaching information is set, and the flag is then adjusted to synchronize the teaching information and the points of emphasis. Finally, miscellaneous settings are performed in the multimedia synchronous training system.
