摘要:
A multiple user data storage, retrieval and distribution system (100) containing a parallel processing computer system that forms a digital information server (208). The server contains a plurality of parallel processors (216n, 218n, 220n, 222n) each connected to a information storage device (224n, 226n, 228n). The user data is stored in a distributed manner amongst the information storage devices (224n, 226n, 228n). The distribution system (100) dynamically allocates the users to the system based upon the user's requested operating mode. During successive user service periods, all the users are supplied their requested data. The system also provides error detection and correction for the data requested by the users. Additional data can be added to the information storage devices (224n, 226n, 228n) during each service period, and select information storage devices can be recalibrated without affecting system operation. Data is retrieved from the information storage devices in an arbitrary order. The system contains an output timing sequencer (Fig. 11) to generate output data in a predefined order. The disclosed apparatus and method find applicability in video servers, medical imaging, special effects and animation, and location based entertainment systems among other applications.

A local storage (200) contains PlayList inforamtion. The PlayList information includes main path information and sub path information. The sub path information specifies one of AV Clips as a sub clip and defines a reproduction section as a slave to be synchronized with a reproduction section as a master for the sub clip. The local storage (200) contains an audio stream specified as the sub clip. The audio stream is formed by a plurality of PES packets. Each of the PES packets has a packet identifier (PID). The packet identifier has an upper-node field and a lower-node field. The upper-node field indicates that the audio stream formed by the packet is a secondary audio stream and its audio output is mixed with the audio output of a primary audio stream.

A method and apparatus for sharing media content between electronic equipment includes transferring session data from a first electronic equipment to a second electronic equipment, said session data including a queue of media content executing or executable on the first electronic equipment, and transferring media content identified in the session data to the second electronic equipment.

A multiple user data storage, retrieval and distribution system containing a parallel processing computer system that forms a digital information server. The server contains a plurality of parallel processors each connected to a information storage device. The user data is stored in a distributed manner amongst the information storage devices. The distribution system dynamically allocates the users to the system based upon the user's requested operating mode. As such, during successive user service periods, all the users are supplied their requested data. The system also provides error detection and correction for the data requested by the users. Furthermore, additional data can be added to the information storage devices during each service period and select information storage devices can be recalibrated without affecting system operation. Even though the system allocates users dynamically such that the data is retrieved from the information storage devices in an arbitrary order, the system contains an output timing sequencer that generates output data in a predefined order no matter the order in which the data is retrieved from the information storage devices. The disclosed apparatus and method find applicability in video servers, medical imaging, special effects and animation and location based entertainment systems among other applications.
摘要:
A BD-ROM (100) and a local storage (200) contains dynamic scenario (programs) such as Java application and MovieObject. The dynamic scenario reads out profile information from PSR (31) of a reproduction device and judges whether the reproduction device is an audio only type. If no, an interactive screen is displayed and control is performed so that a digital stream is reproduced according to the operation on the interactive screen. If the reproduction device is judged to be an audio only type, control is performed so that a digital stream is reproduced according to an operation not using the interactive screen.
