Abstract
A multimedia-based reporting system utilizes a command interpreter and an annotation input interpreter to receive inputs from a user and forwards the inputs to an open report handler, a save report handler, a delete current report handler, a mail report handler, an attach media handler, a print report handler, a static annotation handler, a dynamic annotation handler including recording and playback and an annotation on annotation handler. The static annotation handler allows the user to add drawings and text to the report. The dynamic annotation handler allows the user to record/playback annotations from the annotation input interpreter. The annotation on annotation handler allows the user to record a session of dynamic annotation based on a segment of existent dynamic annotation.
