Mobile multimedia Java framework application program interface
View Patent ↗A mobile multimedia framework API is provided that is capable of operation in mobile hardware devices. The mobile multimedia framework API includes a playback interface, controls, an event listener, an error list, exceptions, events, control types, and protocol handlers. Advantageously, a memory size of the mobile multimedia framework API is less than 100 kilobytes.
1. A mobile multimedia framework application program interface (API) capable of operation in mobile hardware devices, the mobile multimedia framework API consisting of:
a playback interface, a control interface, an event listener interface, an error list interface, an exceptions interface, an events interface, and a protocol handler interface,
wherein a memory size of the mobile multimedia framework API is less than 100 kilobytes.
2. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 1 , wherein the playback interface is a top-level entry point to the API for an application.
3. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 2 , wherein the playback interface further defines start and stop playback functionality.
4. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 1 , wherein the control interface defines advance playback functions.
5. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 1 , wherein the event listener interface defines objects to receive update events from players.
6. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 1 , wherein the error list interface defines error classes for the API.
7. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 1 , wherein the exceptions interface defines exception classes for the API.
8. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 1 , wherein the protocol handler interface defines classes to handle data delivery protocols.
9. A mobile multimedia framework application program interface (API) capable of operation in mobile hardware devices, the mobile multimedia framework API comprising:
a playback interface consisting of a manager API, a package manager API, a player API, a time API, a time base API, a system time base API, and a media locator API;
an event listener interface; and
a protocol handler interface, wherein a memory size of the mobile multimedia framework API is less than 100 kilobytes.
10. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 9 , wherein the protocol handler interface defines classes to handle data delivery protocols.
11. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 9 , further comprising a control interface.
12. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 11 , wherein the control interface defines advance playback functions.
13. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 9 , further comprising an error list interface.
14. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 13 , wherein the error list interface defines error classes for the API.
15. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 9 , further comprising an exceptions interface.
16. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 15 , wherein the exceptions interface defines exception classes for the API.
17. A mobile multimedia framework application program interface (APl) capable of operation in mobile hardware devices, the mobile multimedia framework API comprising:
a playback interface consisting of a manager API, a package manager API, a player API, a time API, a time base API, a system time base API, and a media locator API;
an event listener interface that defines objects to receive update events from players; and
a protocol handler interface that defines classes to handle data delivery protocols, wherein a memory size of the mobile multimedia framework API is less than 100 kilobytes.
18. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 17 , further comprising an exceptions interface.
19. A mobile multimedia framework API as recited in claim 18 , wherein the exceptions interface defines exception classes for the API.
