Abstract
Temporal based objects, such as video or audio objects, are presented in a manner that is determined by the context through which the object is presented. When presented through one context, the object is presented in accordance with one set of presentation characteristics. When presented through another context, the object is presented in accordance with another set of presentation characteristics. A context can be an application program such as a calendar program or an inbasket program, or a context can be an output device such as a video monitor. Presentation characteristics determine which segments of an object are to be presented and how they are to be presented (such as by playing, pause play, fast forward, fast forward play, rewind, rewind play and stop play).
