Process and Apparatus for Displaying Audiovisual Content Through Touch-Screen Technology

Abstract

The present invention encompasses a viewing system and media playing digital picture frame and method of integrating audiovisual recordings with the use of embedded links within the images to defined audiovisual content.

1 . A digital, touch screen picture frame and objects of the type having a screen to display digital images, a memory unit to receive files to be stored in the memory unit, the ability to play audiovisual recordings, a transparent touch screen device above the display which registers touch events and sends these signals to the controller where the controller processes these signals and sends the data to the computer system where software or memory function translates the touch events into display events, in which the improvement comprises:
 a method for displaying audiovisual content using embedded links within still images, the touch screen executing virtual input, detecting that a user has touched the touch screen to nominally activate at least one embedded link and executing the programmed action with respect to said touch.
