摘要:
When trick play modes are implemented using a lookup table cross-referencing content divided into sectors of specific size with content encoding unit information, an accurate playback start time code cannot be detected because the total content playback time is not clear. A trick play method for digital storage media used to record and reproduce multimedia content resolves this problem and enables random access playback, fast-forward play, fast-reverse play and other trick play modes from any desired position in the content by recording program content segmented into media object units, each recorded as a separate file; recording a program manager file containing a media object information table; recording a media object information file containing playback time information and entry points at a specific time interval for each media object, and recording a playlist manager file containing a table of user-specified playback start program IDs and playback start time and end time information.

The multimedia data retrieval device of this invention includes: a content storage section for storing a plurality of compressed contents; a client terminal for inputting feature data, a feature data storage section for reading feature data extracted from at least one of the compressed contents from the content storage section and storing the feature data of the at least one compressed contents; and a content retrieval section for selecting feature data approximate to the feature data input via the client terminal among the feature data stored in the feature data storage section, and retrieving a content having the selected feature data from the content storage section.
摘要:
A watermark data insertion method for inserting watermark data into an input original signal is provided. The method includes: a frequency transform step for applying a frequency transform to the original signal to form an intermediate signal; a watermark data insertion step for inserting the watermark data into a first set of frequency component of the intermediate signal; and a frequency inverse transform step for applying an inverse frequency transform to the intermediate signal, the watermark data having been inserted into the intermediate signal, thereby obtaining a signal containing the watermark data embedded therein. The watermark data insertion step includes: determining, based on pseudo random numbers, the first set of frequency components of the intermediate signal into which the watermark data is inserted; and using a second set of frequency components of the intermediate signal as a reference signal, the watermark data not being inserted into the second set of frequency components.
