摘要： A method (1) of transmitting interactive television, whereby interactive television applications are transmitted inside application-modules. These modules are transmitted in a broadcast stream. Recording systems cannot decide which modules are to be recorded. Therefore storage related information of said modules is signalled in the broadcast stream. Module identification information related is implemented in the Application Information Table (AIT) and/or in the Download Information Indication (DII) message. Thus information is included in the broadcast stream concerning categories stating whether application modules are mandatory, optional or forbidden to record. Alternatively properties of a module are chosen from Code/Data/Both and/or Fixed/Variable. Recording systems use this information do decide if application modules are to be recorded or disregarded. Alternatively, application module identification information is transmitted in said broadcast stream. A module identification number is used to avoid multiple recordings. Application modules having the same category are preferably grouped together.

摘要： A method and device for storing an interactive television program for playback at a later point in time, wherein said interactive television program comprises at least one interactive television application. The applications are transmitted inside modules (11, 12) through a data carousel (2) within a transport stream (20). The method comprises receiving the transport stream, parsing the stream for application modules and storing them as a storage stream on a storage medium (31). The storage stream is stored separate from said transport stream (20). The data or object carousel is recorded outside the Transport Stream and recorded like a stream, preferably as a single file. This file is a sequence of modules with some header information preceding the modules making playback faster as the information needed to obtain the objects from a module is located directly in the header of that module. Furthermore, the solution according to the invention solution is platform independent.

摘要： State-of-the art video recorders are equipped with a pause function. This function may be used in the play and record mode. When used in the record mode, no data is recorded. This is all right when only audio and/or video are recorded. However, when other data like interactive applications are recorded as well, this may lead to problems when the recording of an application is interrupted and this application is called upon in a video fragment that is recorded after resuming recording of audio and/or video. The invention has the following object. When the record function is suspended, using a pause function, only recording of audio and/or video is suspended and recording of other data is continued.

摘要翻译： 最先进的录像机配备了暂停功能。 此功能可用于播放和录制模式。 当在记录模式下使用时，不记录任何数据。 只有录制音频和/或视频时才可以。 然而，当记录诸如交互应用的其他数据时，当应用程序的记录被中断并且在恢复记录音频和/或视频之后记录的视频片段中调用该应用时，这可能导致问题。 本发明具有以下目的。 当暂停记录功能时，使用暂停功能，仅暂停录制音频和/或视频，并继续记录其他数据。

摘要： 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).

摘要： This invention provides an improved method for storing/replaying a specific program from a MPEG-2 multiple program transport stream. When storing, the method discards a related transport packet of the non-user-selected program and inserts a null packet at the corresponding discarding position, and the effective load of this null packet contains a number which indicates the number of continuously discarded packets at this position; when replaying, if the effective load of a null packet contains a specific numerical value, the method adds some null packets beside this null packet, the number of the added null packets being equal to that the specific numerical value minus one.

摘要： The invention takes the advantage of features such as TiVo Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) or ReplayTV DVRs, which provide continuous recording of broadcasting programs and allow users to replay any missed portions of the program. The invention records the date and time of incoming/outgoing communication events, such as phone calls, as well as the current channel number being viewed. With reference to the recorded date, time and channel number, it allows users to choose between continuing viewing the current program or going back to view the entire program starting from the missed portions due to one or more incoming/outgoing calls.
