5. Ferrel further discloses a user interface including a set of tools
for designing, developing, and viewing multimedia on-line applications. A
publisher, such as the publisher 102, utilizes a publisher workstation 182 and
a Designer software environment 194 to create and publish the title layouts
110 and content 112 or just create content and use the title layouts of another
publisher, which are later stored (col. 10, ll. 17-33).
6. Designer software environment 194 includes project editor 184
and other media editors for authoring text as well as images, sounds, and
content objects (col. 10, ll. 34-47).
7. As shown in Figure 3 of Ferrel, multiple publisher workstations
102, 104, 106 and customer workstations 160, 164 are connected to a host
data center 242 by a wide area network (WAN) 240. The network allows
end users (i.e., publishers and customers) over a wide geographic area to
access the host data center 242 via modem (col. 12, ll. 27-41).
8. Ferrel discloses content authors as editors, writers, reporters,
and forum managers who generate content, including structured stories,
using the content authoring environment. Writers compose the textual
content that appears in a title (or a release of a title). They hand their
materials off to the editorial staff. The editorial staff is in charge of the
overall content of the title (col. 15, ll. 24-32).
9. Once the editorial staff has chosen the stories they wish to
include in a release and are satisfied with the content of those stories, they
pass them on to the art department to select and insert appropriate artwork,
and to the production staff to place in content folders (col. 15, ll. 49-53).
