1. A method for the production and transmission of interactive multimedia information comprising the steps of:
- (a) separating the interactive multimedia information based upon a program model into primary and secondary layers;
(b) compressing at least one of the primary and secondary layers;
(c) encoding the compressed at least one of the primary and secondary layers;
(d) transmitting the compressed and encoded at least one of the primary and secondary layers;
(e) transmitting the other of the primary and secondary layers;
(f) receiving the at least one and the other of the primary and secondary layers;
(g) decompressing the compressed and encoded at least one of the primary and secondary layers;
(h) mixing the decompressed at least one of the primary and secondary layers with the other of the primary and secondary layers in accordance with psychographic parameters, the psychographic parameters comprising spatial color, audio, and temporal parameters; and
(i) displaying the decompressed at least one of the primary and secondary layers and the other of the primary and secondary layers to provide enhanced interactive multimedia data to a display.

Abstract
An optimization method is disclosed that enhances the interactivity of multimedia information. The optimization method includes separating a multimedia information into primary and secondary layers and enhancing that information in the primary layers such that the perceived psychographic information quality is improved. This method has the advantage of providing compression and/or transmission algorithms to maximize enhancement of the multimedia information.

7. A method for the production and transmission of interactive multimedia information comprising the steps of:
-
(a) separating the interactive multimedia information into primary and secondary layers based upon a program model; (b) compressing the primary layer in accordance with a compression algorithm; (c) encoding the compressed primary layer; (d) transmitting the compressed primary layer and the secondary layer; (f) decompressing the compressed and encoded primary and secondary layers; (e) receiving the decompressed primary layer and the secondary layer; (g) mixing the decompressed primary and the secondary layer in accordance with psychographic parameters, the psychographic parameters comprising spatial, color, audio, and temporal parameters, (h) displaying the decompressed primary layer and the secondary layer; (i) controlling the compressing of the primary layer in accordance with a plurality of compression algorithms; and (j) controlling the displaying of the decompressed primary layer and the secondary layer in accordance with a plurality of transmission algorithms to provide enhanced interactive multimedia data to a display.
