摘要:
A multimedia program editing method enables a layout with a higher degree of freedom by simplified input operations. Available media materials and a plurality of predetermined frames are displayed. The user sets a current scenario time to a desired time by clicking on a desired one of a plurality of time control icons, and associates a desired material with one of the predetermined frames at the desired time by mouse operations. In response to the association of the desired material, information on the association is registered to a scenario to prepare for an instruction to present the desired material in one of said predetermined frames. Any attribute of one of the predetermined frames can be changed. If the user terminates the association by specifying the desired material and clicking on a predetermined icon, then the attribute of the one of the predetermined frames is restored to a state before the desired material was attached to the frame.

A system is arranged by a service providing apparatus 109 for storing a plurality of contents data 110 and capable of transmitting the contents data via network interfaces 116a/116b and a communication path 112; and also a service relaying apparatus 101 for producing compressed moving picture data having a high image quality from still picture data, and capable of transmitting the compressed moving picture data via network interfaces 115a/115b and another communication path 111 to a'reproducing terminal 106. As a result, desirable contents data can be displayed by the reproducing terminal which owns a capability of displaying the compressed moving picture data, but does not own such a capability of displaying the desirable contents data.

A method of presenting, at a client terminal, a video program stored in a server linked with the client terminal via transmission path of a limited transmission band width. Each frame of the video program comprises a basic data portion and at least one level of quality supplement data portions. In the method, in response to one of play control commands from a user, the client terminal determines a start position in the video program according to the issued play control command. The play control commands includes a play, a stop, a head search, a jump forward and a jump backward command. In response to the issued play command, the terminal obtains and uses the basic data portions for playing the video program. In response to the stop command, the terminal obtains the quality supplement data portions for the last displayed frame and uses them for displaying a quality-enhanced version of the last displayed frame.
摘要:
A multimedia playing apparatus plays hypermedia titles each consisting of a plurality of monomedia objects including at least one finite time monomedia object such as a video object, which is formatted as a sequence of fixed-length playing sections such as video frames and functions as a base-axis object for providing a timing reference. The apparatus executes playing of a hypermedia title in accordance with processing time points specified as respective numbers of the playing sections, and stores and utilizes a plurality of sets of synchronization trigger data each of which designates that playing of a specific monomedia object other than the base-axis object is to be started, or is to be ended, at a specific processing time point, with the synchronization trigger data sets being successively accessed and used as the corresponding processing time points are respectively reached during playing of the hypermedia title.
摘要:
The method involves performing intra frame coding of a non-compressed picture frame to produce one compresses picture frame which is then decoded to produce one reference picture frame. Inter frame coding is performed between the non-compresses picture frame and another reference picture frame to produce another compressed picture frame (615). The frame (615) is decoded to produce a third reference picture frame. An independent claim is also included for a stepwise image quality complementary type coding apparatus.

The invention provides a television meeting unit that is capable of displaying a picture smoothly on a middle participation terminal. To realize such television meeting unit, the multicast meeting unit is provided with a picture coding means for coding an input picture, a picture transmission means for transmitting the coded picture by mean of multicast, a picture receiving means for receiving the transmitted coded picture, a picture decoding means for decoding the received picture, a picture display means for displaying the decoded picture, a middle participation notice means for notifying middle participation in a meeting, and a middle participation terminal detection means for detecting the middle participation notice and for transmitting it to the picture coding means. The picture coding means, upon receiving the middle participation notice from the middle participation terminal detection means, changes the coding format to the in-frame coding format.
