The track information can be multiplexed with MPEG-2 video information and therefore contains directions for forward and backward jumps.

Description

INFORMATION SUPPORT, APPARATUS FOR READING AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING THE INFORMATION SUPPORT AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING IMAGE INFORMATION TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention refers to an information support where an information signal is registered, the signal representing the information of image to be displayed on an image screen, the image information comprises video information of at least one unique video program and control information to view various versions of the video program. The invention also relates to a reading apparatus and an apparatus for providing information support. The invention also relates to a method for transmitting image information by means of the information carrier. Such information support, reading apparatus and transmission method are presented in the 3 rd North American Patent published No. 4,930,158. In the known information medium, such as a videotape, a video program is recorded and in order to fully reproduce the video program the information medium can be read in a standard reading system. When playing in the known system, the program? video can also be played selectively while some parts of the video program are not displayed. For this purpose, the video signal repeatedly contains classification codes, for example by means of digital codes stored in an invisible video line. The retrieved classification code is compared to a classification selected by the user and, depending on the result, playback is interrupted or the output signal is blocked until the detection of a permitted classification code. This can prevent, for example, children from watching pornographic or violent scenes. BACKGROUND OF THE ART A problem with known information support is that image reproduction is interrupted during selective reproduction when classified portions of the video signal occur. Such interruption continues until a permitted classification code is detected in the video signal. These interruptions make viewing a video program during selective reading an annoying experience, and even more so because the duration of the interruption is unknown. Still more specifically, this invention relates to a method for recording compressed audio and video data multiplied by time division in a data recording medium, a method for reproducing such data, an apparatus for recording such data. , and an apparatus for reproducing such data. A data recording medium can take several different forms, including magnetic tapes or discs, magneto-optic discs, optical discs, semi-copier memory, and the like. In the reproduction of video work, for example movies, television programs, etc., it is common to create different versions of a particular work. Even though they share certain video images and sound parts, each version of a work may differ from the others by infusion or e? -clus? ón of other images and = eg erttos t; Audio.

In addition, a "complete edition", a "special edition," etc. can be produced in this way. in relation to a work 5 par icular. For the present invention, the internal practice of qualifying the video works according to the content of the work is especially relevant, for example, certain material is determined as inadequate so that certain audiences will know it. see In sl one :. lis s, I35 prayers d >; - video t i nen the purpose of -e? v 1 = • l -1 s -JO l amen by an adult audience while younger people and age do not have ac e o to dress it or ien - 1 < - < > iqu? yes ci on of t he works.

In accordance with this system, access to certain video works, presented in a theater or available for purchase or rental in a prerecorded video medium, 5 has been restricted for certain groups of consumers.

If the length of the classified scene is unknown on the part of the seer, the "noise" or else temporary image is necessarily until the resumption of the presentation of the original program. In the same way, when the program is produced from a pre-registered means, a special reproduction operation, such as, for example, high-speed search, can be initiated by means of the playback device upon detection of the identification code of the lasification. In certain implementations, such a system may have the disadvantage of reproducing the classified scene for its display.

The time codes indicate the period of time that passed from the beginning of the program or track. The tracks indicate a subdivision for the user of a total program and the track numbers are indicated T4, T5, T¿ > and T7 in Figure 5. In a track, it is also possible that a jump occurs within a track, as indicated by arrows 60 in T6. Figure 6 shows an example of a one-way track descriptor.

P_T0C includes, for example, information in as to the tracks in one or more tables of 'tracks 74 in such a way that this track information can be located and easily, as described with reference to Figure 2 ». E.1 P TOC 72 also includes a table 73 where a classification detection number is given to the respective country by country and by mile, this number corresponds to a definition number defined in D_TOC 71. Likewise, it is included a name for the pro > 3, respective branch by way and by country, > in such a way that the various possible versions can be distinguished by the user. In this way, the name and classification of a specific version of the video program can be provided in the country of the language in which the reproduction device is established. It is also possible to block the classification levels starting from a certain number in the player so that parents can allow their children only programs of .'i-i up to a cl = >; s i i c ac i n esc c J f i c a.

The section described to classify the classification levels is only an example. Another modality of an evaluation system receives, for example, a direct evaluation for each route. The weight of the evaluation codes is determined in advance. It is also possible to include one or several codes ": ie classification by segment, these codes indicate the weight of the whole, or the weight of each category, such as sex or violence. When a next section is selected, the preferences selected by the user in the player can then be taken into consideration. As indicated by lines 75 in FIG. 7, it is possible to record a plurality of program of v? »Of» or on an information carrier. Habitatually, an information support is subdivided into tracks and have an 'absolute' track numbering, for example, starting from 1. Without a user, it is annoying if the subdivision into tracks continues to be counted during the various programs . The third program can then be for example, on runway 29.

The D_T0C 72 also includes the number of tracks per way for each program. The track subdivision is totally independent of the track subdivision of additional video programs. Another option is to let the table have a track number for each consecutive segment of a specific section. In another embodiment, the information described is integrated into the video stream, for example included in the track information in accordance with that described with reference to figures 5 and 6.

T rt An apparatus for reading an information carrier 1 in accordance with the present invention, such as a multimedia compact disc (MMCD) .The apparatus comprises a SO2 eifing device for scanning the track 21 by means of an optical radius. A similar reading description of a CD can be found in the title mentioned with reference to Figure 2. The scanned signal goes to the device 81 to be demodulated for error correction, from there the signal goes to a buffer 82 where it is generates a signal monitreo 88 indicating the degree of filling.The control device 84 displaces and focuses the scanning device 80 to read the desired vectors from the support of info. 1. The monitor signal 88 passes to a control device 84 and, as required, reads image information from the information carrier to maintain a sufficient fill level for the intermediate memory 82. As a result, audio video signals are continuous and not interrupted as much as possible during jumps. The information signal from the buffer 82 goes to a decoder 83 for the reproduction of 11 video signal at the output 86 and the signal d -judio at the output 87.

The track information is read before the reproduction of the video program and stored in a memory or, whenever necessary, the via information is read directly from the file in the information medium. After a section has been fully read, the device 85 must know the consecutive section. The track information indicates the sections to be presented consecutively, in accordance with what is described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. The jump instructions are derived therefrom and passed to the control device 84. A. The jump has been completed, and additional image information has been added from the intermediate station 82. During the jump, no new image information reaches the intermediate memory 82 during a period, but the image in viuli it can continue without interruption as information of the information still present in the buffer memory. As a result, a continuous series of consecutive sections along a path in accordance with the indicated x- track information is presented. If the buffer 82 contains insufficient video information to cover the jump, it is possible to present the period of time necessary to reach the next section in the satellite device (for example, the television screen). to present. If desired, it is possible to display a decreasing time value, an hourglass, or a waning time bar. If one only needs to wait for a short period of time, it is also possible to show the last image of this section on the image screen as a final image until the next step of the next section. In one embodiment of the reading device, the playing time of the video program may be displayed to the user, for example, on the image screen or on a separate viewing device. For this purpose, the digits 85 are adapted for the retrieval of the reproduction information of the information carrier in such a way that the program or track playing time appears for the selected channel.

In other embodiments of the reading device, an intermediate memory 82 that is present, for example on an analog video disc, is absent. In this case, there are brief interruptions of the audio signal and the video signal. A reading device can comprise either a decoder 8-3 itself, or the information signal can be applied to a decoder in another video recorder. In another embodiment, the reading apparatus comprises an image screen in which the image is directly processed.
