Abstract:
To provide a playback device that plays back a content recorded in an optical disc in conjunction with execution of an application supplied by a server. The playback device includes a disc region code detection unit operable to detect a region code from the optical disc; an application region code estimation unit operable to estimate a region code assigned to the application based on an address of the server; a restriction unit operable, if a region code assigned to the playback device, the region code detected from the optical disc, and the estimated region code assigned to the application do not match each other, to restrict the playback of the content in conjunction with the execution of the application.
Abstract:
An optical disk includes: a data region; and a management region. The data region stores: at least one video object containing video information and audio information; and at least one audio object containing audio information. The management region stores first path information and second path information, the first path information indicating a first reproduction path including only the at least one video object, and the second path information indicating a second reproduction path including a combination of the at least one video object and the at least one audio object.
Abstract:
An image display adjusting device wherein a difference portion obtains a difference between an input signal f0 preceding by one frame as an input signal f1 held by one frame by a memory portion and a current input signal f1, a multiplication portion 106 multiplies this difference signal (f1−f0) by a highlight coefficient α, and an addition portion 107 adds a multiplication output signal α (f1−f0) thereof as correction data to the current input signal f1 to obtain an output signal having its responsiveness improved, the device provided with highlight coefficient controlling portions for performing predetermined decoding by inputting the input signal f1 or the difference signal (f1−f0) and converting it to a signal having a change characteristic different from that signal and outputting a highlight coefficient α adapted to the input signal or the difference signal by using that decode value.
Abstract:
A multimedia optical disc is provided. The multimedia optical disc includes a data area and a management information area. The data area stores a plurality pieces of video data. The management information area stores a channel table in which a plurality of logical channel numbers are respectively related to a plurality of physical channel numbers for each piece of video data. A piece of moving picture data and a plurality pieces of sub-data are interleaved in each piece of video data. The sub-data is either of audio data and sub-picture data as still pictures. The logical channel numbers are shared by pieces of video data. The physical channel numbers are used to physically identify the plurality pieces of sub-data. With this construction, it is possible to manage sub-data even when the sub-data is dealt with by a plurality pieces of video data.

Abstract:
A multimedia optical disk is provided. The multimedia optical disk includes a data area for storing objects which include moving picture data and at least one of audio data and sub-picture data. The multimedia optical disk also includes an index area for storing reproduction orders of the objects. Route information in the index area includes a sequence of addresses of objects whose alignment represents a reproduction order. Chain control information in the index area corresponds to the route information. The chain control information, being effective in reproducing objects specified by the alignment of the sequence of addresses (objects specified by the alignment of the sequence of addresses are called a chain), instructs the reproduction apparatus to have a navigation control of the chain. A piece of moving picture data having a certain time period is reproduced at the same timing as a piece of audio data and a piece of sub-picture data. A piece of sub-control information, being effective in reproducing moving picture data, sub-picture data, and audio data stored in a small unit instructs the reproduction apparatus to have a navigation control of the data stored in the same small unit.
Abstract:
A multimedia optical disc comprising a data area for storing at least one object that has sub-picture data and moving picture data, wherein the data area includes a plurality of small areas, each of which includes a first sub-area and a second sub-area, with the object in the data area being storeed over consecutive small areas; the first sub-area stores the moving picture data having a certain time period and the sub-picture data being reproduced at the same timing as the moving picture data, the sub-picture data being a menu image which, includes a plurality of buttons for showing menu items for display; and the second sub-area stores control information including button control data for responding to a user's operation applied onto a menu image reproduced in the first sub-area in the same small area and auxiliary control data for substituting the user's operation applied onto the menu.
Abstract:
A multimedia disc made up of a video data storage region and a management information storage region, the video data storage region storing a plurality of video data sequences, each video data sequence having a plurality of video segments of a reproduction period which are recorded in an interleaved manner with a plurality of audio samples, wherein a plurality of sub-pictures and a plurality of control procedures and one audio sample and one sub-picture are reproduced simultaneously with a video segment and wherein each control procedure indicates one video data sequence as a branch address which reflects an interactive operation of a reproduction device during reproduction of a current video data sequence, the management information storage region storing management information comprised of group information which shows which video data sequences have been grouped together to compose a group for which only one of the composing video data sequences is reproduced, a plurality of level identifiers, each of which is assigned exclusively to only one video data sequence in a same group and branch information which indicates, for an arbitrary video data sequence, a video data sequence to be reproduced after termination of reproduction of the arbitrary video data sequence.
