摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing access to operation information relating to a portion of a digital television signal, the operation information comprising at least one of, a location and type of access unit, timing information, and rendering information. The apparatus comprising, a digital television signal receiver operative to receive the digital signal, the digital signal comprising a data section and at least one other section, the data section comprising the operation information; an operation information utilizer, operative to perform a trick mode operation; and an operation information placer, operative to place the operation information in a retrieval area. Wherein, the one other section is encrypted, and the data section is not encrypted, and the one other section comprises a copy of the operation information.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining visually noticeable differences between two input images. A first contrast image is generated from the first input image and a second contrast image is generated from the second input image. A contrast difference image is then formed from the two contrast images. Measures are calculated of the mean absolute difference between blocks of pixels of the first and second input image. Pixels in the contrast difference image are selected which exceed a first threshold and measures of the mean absolute difference are selected which exceed a second threshold. A detection signal is produced from the threshold signals.
摘要:
A method for producing an auxiliary video stream arranged for reverse trick mode playback from a video stream including a plurality of uni-directional predicted frames, the method including producing the auxiliary video stream by performing the following steps copying each uni-directional predicted frame included in the video stream into a memory, thereby producing a plurality of copied frames in the memory, replacing each one of the plurality of copied frames with one corresponding supplemental frame, thereby producing a plurality of corresponding supplemental frames, and producing a copy of the video stream arranged in reverse processing order, the producing a copy including replacing each frame which corresponds to one of the plurality of copied frames with the one corresponding supplemental frame from among the plurality of corresponding supplemental frames. Related methods and systems are also described.
摘要:
A program guide generation system to generate a program guide for rendering by a rendering device, the system comprising a plurality of operationally connected modules including: a receive module to receive a list including a plurality of program items; and a video sequence preparation module to prepare a video sequence. The video sequence includes a plurality of video frames, each of the video frames including at least one of the program items. The rendering device when playing the video sequence in a forward direction generates the video output showing scrolling of the program items in a first direction; and when playing the video sequence in a reverse direction generates the video output showing scrolling of the program items in a second direction.

摘要:
A method for providing access to operation information relating to a digital television signal, the operation information comprising at least one of, a location and type of access unit, timing information, and rendering information. The method comprising, receiving an encoded digital television signal, encoded in accordance with a layered encoding scheme, in a plurality of layers comprising a first layer comprising an elementary video stream and a second layer comprising a transport stream; duplicating operation information from the first layer of encoding within the digital television signal; and recording a copy of the duplicated operation information in a data section in the second layer of encoding within the digital television signal. The duplicated operation information is placed in the second layer when the duplicated operation information changes relative to an earlier version of the duplicated operation information.
