Abstract

A document can be presented on a computer that includes at least two video output ports. The document is divided into multiple parts, with each part being expressed in a different language. Each one of the at least two video output ports can be configured in or for a language of a partial document to be output by the video output port. Each one of the at least two video output ports can be made to synchronously output the partial document to which the language configured for the video output port corresponds.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method of presenting a document using a computer having a plurality of video ports including a first video output port and a second video output port, comprising:
receiving a request to output the document to the first video output port and the second video output port;
determining, in response to the request, that the first video output port is configured for a first language and the second video output port is configured to a second language;
receiving, by the computer and responsive to the determining, a single completely-structuralized file that includes a structuralized first portion within the first language and a structuralized second portion within the second language;
sending, to each of the first video output port and the second video output port, the single completely-structuralized file; and
synchronously outputting, by the first and the second video output ports, respective representations of the structuralized first portion and the structuralized second portion of the single completely-structuralized file, wherein
the document is contained within the single completely-structuralized file.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the single completely-structuralized file is an XML file.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein
output from each of the first and second video output ports includes animation operations that are synchronized with one another.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein
output from each of the first and second video output ports includes a plurality of separately displayed pages;
a change from a first page to a second page output from the first video output port is synchronized with a change from a first page to a second page output from the second video output port.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the language of the portion of the single completely-structuralized file associated with the video output port is recorded during communication with each of the first and second video output ports.

6. A computer hardware system for presenting a document, comprising:
a computer having a plurality of video ports including a first video output port and a second video output port; and
a hardware processor configured to initiate the following executable operations:
receiving a request to output the document to the first video output port and the second video output port;
determining, in response to the request, that the first video output port is configured for a first language and the second video output port is configured to a second language;
receiving, by the computer and responsive to the determining, a single completely-structuralized file that includes a structuralized first portion within the first language and a structuralized second portion within the second language;
sending, to each of the first video output port and the second video output port, the single completely-structuralized file; and
synchronously outputting, by the first and the second video output ports, respective representations of the structuralized first portion and the structuralized second portion of the single completely-structuralized file, wherein

the document is contained within the single completely-structuralized file.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein
the single completely-structuralized file is an XML file.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein
output from each of the first and second video output ports includes animation operations that are synchronized with one another.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein
output from each of the first and second video output ports includes a plurality of separately displayed pages;
a change from a first page to a second page output from the first video output port is synchronized with a change from a first page to a second page output from the second video output port.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein
the language of the portion of the single completely-structuralized file associated with the video output port is recorded during communication with each of the first and second video output ports.

11. A computer program product, comprising:
a hardware storage device having stored thereon program code for presenting a document using a computer having a plurality of video ports including a first video output port and a second video output port,
the program code, which when executed by the computer, causes the computer to perform:
receiving a request to output the document to the first video output port and the second video output port;
determining, in response to the request, that the first video output port is configured for a first language and the second video output port is configured to a second language;
receiving, by the computer and responsive to the determining, a single completely-structuralized file that includes a structuralized first portion within the first language and a structuralized second portion within the second language;
sending, to each of the first video output port and the second video output port, the single completely-structuralized file; and

synchronously outputting, by the first and the second video output ports, respective representations of the structuralized first portion and the structuralized second portion of the single completely-structuralized file, wherein
the document is contained within the single completely-structuralized file.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein
the single completely-structuralized file is an XML file.

13. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein
output from each of the first and second video output ports includes animation operations that are synchronized with one another.

14. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein
output from each of the first and second video output ports includes a plurality of separately displayed pages;
a change from a first page to a second page output from the first video output port is synchronized with a change from a first page to a second page output from the second video output port.

15. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein
the language of the portion of the single completely-structuralized file associated with the video output port is recorded during communication with each of the first and second video output ports.
