Abstract
A method of coordinating the delivery of two independent messages, of different mediums, for simultaneous presentation is provided. The messages are communicated in a system capable of including coordination plans with the messages. The coordination plans include the identity of the independent messages, points in the messages where the coordination begins, and the duration of the presentation. Once linkage points in the first and second messages are defined, the relationship between messages is defined, so that independent messages 10 are displayed with predefined, meaningful timing. In communication system flexible enough to support real-time, two-way communications, such as wireless telephones, at least one of the messages to be coordinated can be received and presented in real-time. A system of coordinating two independent messages with a coordination plan message is also provided.
