"Path-enhanced" multimedia (PEM) data may be viewed, modified, or
interacted with according to user selected views which determine the manner in
which at least a portion of the PEM data is displayed. The PEM data is stored in
a data structure as a scrapbook object including first data object types corresponding
to the PEM data and second object types corresponding to the different view types.
The scrapbook object data structure lends itself to displaying portions of the
PEM data according to selected views that correspond to a particular time and place
or to a particular time ordered sequence of locations (i.e., a particular path
segment) and/or can be enhanced with other multimedia content related to that time
and place or to that path segment, thereby providing a more interesting and effective
display of the "path-enhanced" recorded events. For example, the time and location
of a particular point on the path may be used to locate and append other recorded
sounds and images associated with that time and/or that location, to thereby provide
an enhanced presentation of a trip or other path-oriented experience. Moreover,
the data defining any such associated path may also be edited to thereby define
a new or modified path.
