                Application 10/348,277                                                                       
                                            THE INVENTION                                                    
                      The disclosed invention generally relates to browsing of media.  More                  
                particularly, the disclosed invention performs visual selection and annotation               
                of media objects using intrinsic and extrinsic metadata (Specification 1).                   
                      Claims 1-5 and 7-40 are before us on appeal.  Claim 6 has been                         
                cancelled.  Claims 1, 23, 31, 33, and 35 are independent claims.  Claims 1,                  
                23, 31, and 33 are illustrative:                                                             
                      1.  A media generation system comprising:                                              
                            a component that receives a plurality of media objects;                          
                            a component that annotates the plurality of media objects with                   
                      at least a subset of metadata;                                                         
                            a component that generates at least one new media object via                     
                      combining a subset of the media objects based at least in part upon the                
                      metadata associated therewith; and                                                     
                            a component that embeds a first media object into a second                       
                      media object.                                                                          
                      23.  A method of editing media to generate new media comprising:                       
                            receiving a plurality of media objects, at least a portion of                    
                      which are annotated with metadata;                                                     
                            identifying the metadata;                                                        
                            combining a subset of the media objects to generate a new                        
                      media object, the combining being based at least in part upon the                      
                      identified metadata; and                                                               
                            embedding a first media object into a second media object.                       


                                                     2
