摘要:
A device for recording digitally encoded video information records video packets and characteristic point information for controlling the playback of the packets. The device has an error detection unit (32) for detecting recording errors, and the size of a missing part of the real-time information due to a detected error. The characteristic point information can be used for detecting errors by verifying the accessibility of the video packets. An exit point before the detected error and an entry point after the detected error are determined, such that the video information up to the exit point and starting at the entry point constitute decodable streams of packets. Further the device has a recalculating unit (31) for recalculating, in the event of a detected recording error, the characteristic point information (CPI) by skipping packets between the exit point and the entry point.

The characteristic playback domain of an AV stream is to be reproduced simply and reliably without complicating the management. As marks representing characteristic points of an AV stream, a mark of the type indicating a point and a mark of the type indicating a section (duration) are provided. The mark of the type indicating a point designates a point with a time stamp corresponding to a preset playback timing of the AV stream. The mark of the type indicating a section specifies the domain based on the time stamp of the playback start point of the preset playback domain of the AV stream and on the duration as from the playback start point until the playback end point.

A device is equipped with local storage arrangement such as HDD and a removable optical storage carrier input device. Removable carriers include storage applications that necessitate storage space for storing data items. A storage management unit allocates storage space of the local storage arrangement to the inserted removable optical storage carrier and the application stored therein. The management unit also attributes to the portion identification information respecting access rights granted to the application with respect to data items stored in the allocated portion. The application is given no access to data items stored outside the allocated portion.

An optical storage carrier is loaded with applications implemented as Java objects that enable interactive services, e.g. gaming, interactive A/V content playback, web browsing. Each Java object includes at least three methods for setting the application in an inactive state, a paused state or an active state. The carrier is also loaded with a loader application that includes a main method. The loader application controls the respective lifecyles of all Java objects present on the carrier and controls the respective methods of the Java objects. The loader application only permits one Java object to run at a time. The lifecyle of the loader application is linked to the disc and the loader application is loaded in memory when the disc is inserted in the device and killed when the disc is removed. The device runs a Java virtual machine on top of which the loader application is configured to run. Since the lifecyle of the loader application is linked to the disc, the Java virtual machine runs for the time the disc is inserted into the device and is not killed when a Java object is either paused or killed.

A device for recording records digitally encoded video information on a record carrier according to a predefined recording format, such as BD. The device has an input unit (91) for receiving a data stream comprising the video information and application data objects contained in messages, such as DVB-MHP. The device has a message unit (92, 94) for extracting the messages from the data stream. The messages are stored in a message file as a series of the messages for the program separate from the video information. The device also has a parsing unit (95) for generating application control information that includes accessing information for accessing the messages in the message file. The application control information is stored in a message info file.

The invention relates to a system for recording a signal. A recorder (200) comprises a receiver (201) for receiving a source signal (101) having associated first play time information such as a Normal Play Time timeline. The receiver (200) is coupled to a recording controller (203) which generates a recorded signal (301) from the source signal (101). The recorded signal (301) comprises a recording discontinuity with respect to the source signal (101) caused by for example the recording being paused in a time interval. The recording controller (203) is coupled to a storage medium (205). The recorder (200) further comprises a time processor (209) for generating second time information for the recorded signal (301) in response to the first play time information and the recording discontinuity. The second time information may for example be a compensated NPT timeline or event descriptors or stream events having time indications modified to correspond to the recorded signal (301).

The invention provides a method and system for obtaining updated information using a portable disk-based information device. The disk-based information device may be included within or attached to a portable networking device such as a personal data assistant (PDA) or a cellular telephone. Update information may be received from a data provider through, for example, a mobile telephone network. The update information may be compared with information provided on the disk. Updated information may then be delivered to a user in response to a user request, reporting new information and replacing outdated information provided on the disk with information received from the data provider.

Various methods are disclosed for producing an edited MPEG audio/video stream from first and second streams recorded in a transport-stream format normally intended for broadcast purposes. According to one implementation, a bridge sequence is generated which recodes data from both of the original streams, in the region of the edit point. Padding packets are inserted in the elementary streams to adjust a continuity counter values so as to allow continuous decoding across the join between bridge sequence and second sequence proper. In another implementation, seamless playback is not required, the bridge sequence is omitted, and various process are implemented “on-the-fly” to generate an edited stream compliant with MPEG-2 specification. To this end, exit and entry points are constrained to certain types of coded pictures, and offset between time-bases is adjusted to avoid buffer overflow.

The present invention relates to a drive device and method of reading from or writing to a record carrier (10), wherein data is input or output via an interface (32) using a first format according to a first file system. In the drive device (30), the first format is mapped to a second format according to a second file system used on the record carrier (10). Thereby, it is possible to use different storage technology with the same interface, for example, a hard-disc based Microdrive can be used with a Compact Flash interface. This is especially advantageous in connection with removable drive devices.
