摘要:
According to the invention sub-picture data are organized in sub-picture units, the sub-picture units comprising pixel data in a pixel data area as well as display control data and/or address information data, wherein a sub-picture unit of a second sub-picture stream is inserted into the pixel data area of a sub-picture unit of a first sub-picture stream. This permits several sub-picture streams for systems, which are defined to allow only a single sub-picture stream. Especially for DVD-VR conflicts with the already existing DVD-VR specification are avoided. Therefore, enhanced DVD-VR devices using the invention are able to record and playback additional sub-picture streams and conventional DVD-VR devices are able to record and playback the same signal without any compatibility problems, although restricted to only a single sub-picture stream.

A method for automatic detection of data types for data type dependent processing has two orthogonal classification systems defined, and determines for incoming data items a data type according to the first classification system and another data type according to the second classification system. The first classification system comprises the data types Essence (E), Metadata (M) and Container (C). The second classification system comprises the data types Physical Data (PD) and Abstract Data (AD). A default data type may be defined for data items not being uniquely classifiable. Advantageously, the inventive method can be used when different classes of data items require different methods for processing, e.g. content searching.

It is desired to link photo data and video data taken by a digital camcorder. Therefore, there is provided a device and method for linking multimedia data, wherein linking information is formed on the basis of first and/or second multimedia data. The linking information is stored on a recording medium together with the first multimedia data. The second multimedia data may be stored together with respective linking information to the first multimedia data on a second recording medium. Thus, a camera-man while recording is able to set up logo or index pictures for a video film.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method of editing a data stream, the data stream having a first unique identifier of an identifier space and having assigned metadata, the metadata comprising meta information and a metadata link, the metadata link comprising the first unique identifier and at least one data packet identifier. When performing an editing operation on the data stream, a second unique identifier of the identifier space is assigned to the data stream and the first unique identifier for a resolver task is stored, using a decision metric for updating the meta link.

摘要:
A replay appliance for recording media containing information blocks, the appliance comprising means which are independent of the contents directory for access to files and information, and which allows replay even if the contents directory or file system is damaged. The appliance includes search means for searching for a designator of a file which is to be localized in blocks of the recording medium, evaluation means for determining the designator of following bytes which indicate a number of 2048 byte blocks from which the information block is composed, and the information block determined in this way is used for data access. The field of application of the invention extends to replay appliances for recording media containing information blocks, such as a hard disk, a digital versatile disk, which is also referred to as a DVD, a CD-ROM, floppy disk or a data tape, which have a recording format from the so-called Yellow Book.
摘要:
A method enables and controls automatic propagation of metadata items to a recording media or to devices for reading from or writing to recording media. The metadata items are provided with a propagation property, which defines to which recording media or to which devices the metadata items shall propagate, and on which recording media or in which devices the metadata items shall be stored. At least when a recording medium is inserted into or removed from a device, or when the device is powered up or down, the metadata items are automatically propagated and stored in accordance with the propagation property.
摘要:
The handling of large amounts of data on storing media shall be simplified. Therefore, a method for maintaining a storage media by generating, editing or reading log data related to the content and usage of a data item stored or to be stored on a storage medium is provided. Data items are deleted or recommendations for deletion are provided on the basis of the log data from the storage medium. Thus, the user is relieved from the unpleasant and time-consuming task of deleting data items from recording media.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a digital audio and/or video recorder and to a method for recording of program data comprised in a transport stream, the transport stream having metadata, the method comprising the steps of: de-multiplexing the transport stream to provide the program data and the metadata, storing the program data in a digital recording format, the digital recording format having a first data structure for storing of navigation data and a second data structure of a second stream format for storage of program data packets, transforming the metadata into the first data structure, and storing the transformed metadata as part of the navigation data.
摘要:
TVs and other consumer electronics devices like VCRs and DVD players use on-screen display of messages. For display together with MPEG encoded video signals the picture content of an OSD text or graphic is stored in a non-volatile memory in a specific format: the OSD text or graphic content is divided into macroblock units and the OSD macroblock data are stored in MPEG encoded form in the memory. The OSD macroblocks to be displayed are then handled as a slice.
