ABSTRACT:
A network data processing system is disclosed that uses novel methods and apparatus to hyperlink from full motion videos. The present invention can be used with any standard video file by adding a header identifying a video map location and a script location identifying where the hyperlinks are associated with the video file for any given frame. The present invention includes a new viewer that reads the header and issues the header information, X-coordinate, Y-coordinate, and time coordinate for a particular hyperlink selection made by a user via a computer pointing device. An HTTP Server and video script then operate in conjunction to obtain the corresponding map and identify a network address associated with the coordinate information provided by the viewer.
