Abstract

Growing numbers of pervasive devices are gaining access to the Internet and other information sources. However, much of the rich multimedia content cannot be easily handled by the client devices with limited communication, processing, storage and display capabilities. In order to improve access, we are developing a system for scalable delivery of multimedia. The system uses an InfoPyramid for managing and manipulating multimedia content composed of video, images, audio and text. The InfoPyramid manages the different variations of media objects with different fidelities and modalities and generates and selects among the alternatives in order to adapt the delivery to different client devices. We describe a system for scalable multimedia delivery for a variety of client devices, including PDAs, HHCs, smart phones, TV browsers and color PCs.
