fig1 is a flow chart illustrating a method for synchronously presenting information . the present invention is useful in multi - media , e - mail , and wireless communications . step 10 provides a wireless communication systems including at least one base station , the present method permits a mobile station to synchronize the presentation of a first communication stream to the presentation of at least a second communication stream . in some aspects of the invention , the first and second sources of information are provided by base station , e - mail sender , and memory . the wireless communication system is selected from the group consisting of is - 95 , w - cdma , is - 136 , and gsm . in an e - mail system , for example , a realtor may send a pre - existing video ( with sound ) clip of a listed house as one source of information . the realtor may choose to dub their voice over parts of the video to point out special features of interest to a specific client . the two independent mediums are sent to the client with the synchronization instructions . when the client opens their e - mail , the synchronization instructions automatically present the video and voice dubbing with the timing arranged by the sender ( realtor ). in a wireless system , a client ( receiver ) has their telephone attached to auxiliary presentation equipment , such as a video monitor . as above , a video of a house is sent as one piece of data , and the realtor ( sender ) sends a voice commenting on features in the video . technically , it is challenging to send both pieces of information and the synchronization instructions in real - time , so that the client sees the presentation of information at approximately the same time that it is sent . the sender may send the video at an earlier time , or access a video record stored in the memory of the client &# 39 ; s receiver . then , the sender can trigger the presentation of the previously sent video , and make comments on the video , creating synchronization commands . step 12 accepts instructions to control the acceptance and management of the first and second information sources . in a wireless system management fields of instructions are received to control the reception of the first and second communication streams . the management instructions are grouped into octets , fields , packets , or messages depending on the specific communication system . hereafter , the term “ management instructions ” is intended to include any such possible grouping of data . step 14 accepts the first source of information . in a wireless system , the first communication stream of information is received . hereafter it is understood that the terms “ communication streams ” and “ sources ” are substantially interchangeable . likewise , step 16 accepts the second source of information . in a wireless system , the second communications stream of information is received . the order of steps 12 , 14 , and 16 are somewhat arbitrary . in some aspects of the invention , the information is received before the management instructions . in other aspects , the information is received after the instructions . further , the information and instruction segments are received in cycles or in changing order in response to the nature of the information or management considerations in the communication system . step 18 , in response to instructions accepted in step 12 , synchronizes the information of the second source with information of the first source . step 20 presents the synchronized information of both the first and second sources . alternately , steps 18 and 20 are considered to be combined so that the second communication stream of information is synchronously presented with the first communication stream of information in response to the instructions received in step 12 . step 22 is a product , where two independent information sources are synchronized , or two independent communication streams , or data sources are joined , or coordinated with the use of the accompanying coordination plans in step 12 . in one aspect of the invention , a memory device is provided in step 10 to store information and management instructions . then , further steps ( not shown ), following step 18 , occur . step 18 a stores the synchronized information of the first and second sources in memory , and step 18 b accesses the information stored in step 18 a . in this manner , the information of the first and second sources is synchronously presented after being stored . alternately , the memory device stores information and management instructions . then , further steps ( not shown ) preceding step 18 occur . step 16 a stores , in memory , the information of the first and second sources accepted in steps 14 and 16 , respectively , and the management instructions accepted in step 12 . step 16 b accesses the information and management instructions stored in step 16 a . in this manner , the information of the first and second sources is stored before processing into synchronously linked data sources . in one aspect of the invention at least three communication channels are provided in step 10 . the definition of communication channel , as used herein , is very broad . in one aspect of the invention , the channels are distinct physical channels , such as different carrier frequency bands . alternately , the channels are a single carrier that is time multiplexed . further , the channels may be different time slots of a single physical channel . in a cdma system the channels are data sent on a single carrier , at the same time , with different orthogonal spreading codes . in some aspects of the invention , the definition of the channels is adaptive , as the use and characteristics of time multiplexed slots change in response to broadcast commands , or receiver logic . the channels are also combinations of physical , time , frequency , and orthogonally coded messages . in some aspects of the invention , the channels are also specified as higher layers of a layered hierarchical protocol structure such as open system interconnection ( osi ) and integrated services digital network ( isdn ) and are implemented in software / firmware only to implement the time sharing of a physical channel . however defined , all three , or any combination of the information streams and management instructions are carried on one , two , or three channels . steps 12 - 16 include accepting the management instructions , and the first and second sources of information on the three communication channels , however the channels have been defined . typically , the communications are digitally formatted , although the present invention &# 39 ; s method also applies to analog formats . whether the communication is organized in octets , packets , fields , messages or other groupings , the ultimate basis of information transfer is usually the bit . given the nature of modern communications , even the analog advanced mobile phone service ( amps ) wireless system uses receiver equipment which digitizes data at some point in the receiving process . step 18 includes selecting a bit in the first source of information as a coordination point synchronized to the starting point of information in the second source . for example , the coordination point could be the rising edge of the first bit in a specified field . step 20 includes presenting the starting point in the second source in response to presenting the is coordination point in the first source . it is assumed for the purposes of this discussion that the location of the starting point in the second stream is a predetermined bit location , in accordance with a format known to all the communication players in the system . for example , the starting point is the first bit of the information to be presented in the second stream strip . alternately , the starting point is a bit in the second stream of bits preceding , or subsequent to the actual bits of information to be presented . in some aspects of the invention , the starting point is defined by the management instructions in the same manner that the coordination point is defined . regardless of the exact location of the coordination point in the first stream and the starting point in the second stream , once references are taken in the two streams , it becomes possible to synchronize the streams . generally , the information streams and the management instructions are communicated in a serial order , so that a first bit precedes a second bit in time . however the method of the present invention applies equally well to parallel data transfer systems where a number of bits arrive simultaneously . even in parallel processing systems , groupings of data are handled in a serial sequence . steps 14 and 16 include accepting , respectively , first and second sources of information in a sequentially order , and step 12 includes accepting sequentially ordered fields as the management instructions . then , step 18 includes selecting a coordination point in a sequence of bits in the first source . the method includes further steps , following step 18 . step 18 c , in response to instructions from the management fields accepted in step 12 , selects a delay which defines the time duration between the coordination point in the first source and the starting point , or bit in the second source . step 20 , in response to the time duration selected in step 18 c , includes delaying the presentation of the starting point in the second source from the presentation of the coordination point in the first source . the synchronized presentations are finely adjusted with a delay , after coarse adjustment with the coordination point . step 18 d , in response to instructions from the management fields accepted in step 12 , selects a duration for the presentation of the second source of information . then , step 20 includes presenting the second source of information for the time duration selected in step 18 d . once the starting point , delay , and duration are known , the synchronization of the second information stream to the first information stream is completely described . in some aspects of the invention , the first source provided in steps 10 is a first predetermined communication medium type and the second source is a second predetermined communication medium type . further steps , then , follow step 16 . step 18 e establishes the first source first communication medium type in response to accepting the management fields in step 12 . step 18 f establishes the second source second communication medium type in response to accepting the management fields in step 12 . then , step 20 includes presenting information fields of the first source in response to the communication medium type established in step 18 e , and also includes presenting information fields of the second source in response to the communication medium type established in step 18 f . in this manner , the synchronization method is able to integrate different types of communication medium . the first and second communication medium types provided in step 10 are selected from the group consisting of audio , audio / video , video , images , text , and data . the method includes broadcast quality audio as well as compression schemes such as a variety of vocoders , adaptive delta modulation ( adpcm ), and μ - law pcm , as are well known in the art . the audio / video medium includes full motion , slow motion , and slow scan video . data medium includes images , animation , text , moving images , graphs , and abstract pictures . in some aspects of the invention , step 10 provides a receiver , audio / video information as the first medium type , and audio information as the second medium type . steps 12 - 16 include accepting the management fields and first and second source information fields , respectively , with the receiver . for example , when step 10 provides a audio / video first medium type and an audio second medium type , step 18 includes synchronizing the audio information of the second source with the audio / video information of the first source . in this manner , a voice is dubbed over an audio / visual presentation . step 10 provides for a plurality of information streams , with each source having a unique message identification number . for example , each information stream is given an identification number in an octet of data before , or after the information . in some aspects of the invention the information is also supplied with the management instructions . the identification number is supplied with the management channel , and the correlation between each information stream and identification number is made through timing relationships . then , step 12 includes accepting a first source message identification number and a second source message identification number in the management fields . step 14 includes selecting the source with the first source message identification number , and step 16 includes selecting the source with the second source message identification number . fig2 is a example of management instructions organized in accordance with is - 95 standards ( prior art ). although the is - 95 is specifically described , the method applies equally well any communication system , especially one which communication system data and management instructions . the functions of the pre - existing field names and assignment values in the channel assignment message are defined in section 7 . 7 . 2 . 3 . 2 . 8 of is - 95 , revision b . the pre - existing values of assign_mode are “ 000 ” to “ 101 ”, representing a traffic channel assignment , paging channel assignment , acquire analog system assignment , analog voice channel assignment , extended traffic channel assignment , extended paging channel assignment . to implement a new field to control synchronization , a new assign_mode with a value greater than “ 101 ” is created , such as “ 110 ” to define the synchronization field and function . fig3 is an example of the synchronization field , called the inter - medium coordination field , part of the channel assignment message , organized in accordance with is - 95 standards . returning to fig1 step 12 , in response to receiving the management fields , identifies an inter - medium coordination field in a message , such as the channel assignment message . in this manner , synchronization is conducted in the context of established communication management protocols . step 12 includes accepting an inter - medium coordination management field to define the synchronization of the first and second sources of information . these sub - fields , or sub - steps ( not shown ) identify the first and second information streams , the coordination point , the duration , and the medium types ( also see fig3 ). step 12 a accepts a first sub - field ( s 1 _medium_id ) to define the first source first medium type . in the is - 95 example of fig3 the s 1 _medium_id field is ½ of an octet in length . step 12 b accepts a second ( s 1 _message_id ) sub - field to define the first source message identification number , whereby a specific sequence of information is identified as the first source in step 14 . in the is - 95 example , s 1 _message_id has a length of 1 octet to identify the first communication stream . step 12 c accepts a third sub - field to define the second source second medium type . in the is - 95 example , s 2 _medium_id is a field of ½ an octet to identify the second communication stream medium type . step 12 d accepts a fourth sub - field to define the second source message identification number , whereby a specific sequence of information is identified as the second source . in the is - 95 example , s 2 _message_id is a field of 1 octet to identify the second communication stream in step 16 . step 12 e accepts a fifth sub - field to define the size of the second source information stream . typically , the number of bits or octets in the second source of information , whereby the amount of information in the second source is defined . in the is - 95 example , a s 2 _length field has a length of 1 octet identifies the number of octets in the second communications stream . step 12 f accepts a sixth sub - field to define the presentation duration of the second source . in the is - 95 example , s 2 _run_length field has a length of 1 octet to identify the presentation time duration of the second communications stream . step 12 g accepts a seventh sub - field to define the coordination point in the first source of information from which the synchronization of the second source is referenced . in the is - 95 example , coord_pt_id_in_s 1 is a field of ½ an octet to identify a reference point in the first communications stream to synchronize the second communication stream with the first information stream . step 12 h accepts an eighth sub - field to define the delay between the coordination point established in sub - field 12 g and the start of the presentation of the second source information stream . in the is - 95 example , start_of_play_delay is a field of 1 octet to identify a time delay , from the presentation of the coordination point until the presentation of the first information stream with the second communications stream . in some aspects of the invention three , or more information streams are synchronized . a further step , precedes step 18 . step 16 c ( not shown ) accepts a third source of information , and step 12 includes accepting management instructions to control the acceptance of the third source . then , step 18 includes synchronizing the information in the third source with information in the first source , and step 20 includes presenting the synchronized information of the first , second , and third sources . alternately , step 18 includes synchronizing the information in the third source with information in the second source , and step 20 includes presenting the synchronized information of the first , second , and third sources . in some aspects of the invention , only one information stream is communicated . that is , the user already has the second information stream on hand , or in memory . a first information stream is communicated and synchronized with the information stream already on hand . a memory device is provided in step 10 for the storage of sources of information , and step 16 includes accepting the second source from memory . for example , a sender chooses an image residing in memory with the receiver for a visual background to an audio message . in one aspect of the invention , at least one information stream is received and presented in real - time . alternately , at least one information stream is received in real - time , but the user is presented the synchronized information at a later time . for example , when the user checks their e - mail . in another aspect of the method , the information streams and instructions are stored by the sender . the information streams and instructions are sent , synchronized , and presented to the user at the user &# 39 ; s command . once again , a user checking e - mail is an appropriate example . in such as system , a further step , preceding step 12 , is required . step 10 a signals the base station to transmit communications including information sources and management instructions , whereby the information streams and management instructions are stored at the base station , and retrieved by the mobile station in real - time . fig4 is a flow chart illustrating another aspect of the method for presenting information synchronously . step 60 provides a first source of information and at least a second source of information . step 62 accepts the first source of information with embedded management information instructions . step 64 accepts the second source of information . step 66 , in response to instructions accepted in step 62 , synchronizes the information of the second source with information of the first source . step 68 is a product , where two independent data sources are coordinated with accompanying synchronization plans . fig5 is a schematic representation of a receiver 100 to synchronize at least two independent streams of information for real -
