    摘要: The detection and recording of commercials (12) within content (10) to provide viewers with a choice to avoid watching commercials or view commercial content at a selected time. This invention proposes a way to allow the user to navigate through commercials (12) of interest without having to sit linearly through the commercials by recording the commercials and presenting the commercials to the user as a set of thumbnails, a menu or a Table of Contents mechanism. Content analysis algorithms can be used to choose the most representative key frame for the thumbnail. The invention can be used in conjunction with techniques to automatically delete commercials from recordings. The commercials are not watched by the viewer during initial viewing but are presented at user-selected times so the user can selectively view the commercials.

    摘要: The present invention provides an extensible disc player that is upgradeable to play new content types. The player's capability can be extended by downloading an appropriate decoder from a web server via the Internet. In this way, the player can play back contents that it does not originally support. If the content type is unknown, the player will check whether the disc contains a URL for linking to a web site containing an appropriate decoder. If the disc contains the URL, the player will access the web site to download the appropriate decoder. In a similar manner, the capability of a recorder can also be expanded by downloading appropriate encoders from the Internet.

    摘要: The present invention provides a WebDVD player to link legacy DVD discs to related web sites and to play normal WebDVD discs. The player includes a database containing a URL list of popular DVD content providers. After the disc is loaded into the player, the player reads the provider unique identification (PVR ID) and uses the PVR ID to find URL of associated content provider from URL list. URL of content provider is indexed to a table containing a list of some popular title identifications (Title IDs) of discs, location of Title ID on the disc, method of deriving Title ID, and URL of a related web site. The player then attempts to derive the Title ID of the disc according to the method in the table and compares the derived Title ID with the data in the Title ID column of the table to find the corresponding URL for locating the web pages of the content provider.
