To be described in detail the embodiment of the invention now, its example shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein, identical label is represented same parts all the time.Below with reference to the accompanying drawings embodiment is described to explain the present invention.
According to embodiments of the invention, make it possible to realize the multi-angle support, so that angle-data is by using separately recording method but not interleave method is recorded on the information storage medium.In other words, the multi-angle support is implemented by the adjacent posting field that the bit stream that will be used for each angle-data is recorded in information storage medium.During data reproduction, realize that by following operation angle changes: the data that will be used for each angle are divided into jump unit (JPU), the start address of specifying JPU is as jump, and will be recorded as additional jump information about the information of the jump of each angle-data.According to an aspect of the present invention, if each entrance is each jump, then can detect jump based on information about the entrance.
In order to understand the present invention better, essential element of the present invention is listed below:
(a) about the compression of each angle and the audio/video of coding (AV) stream;
(b) comprise information about audio/video (AV) stream of coding, attribute information for example, clip information file;
(c) be used to comprise the PlayItem of the recovery time of the time IN_time of above element (a) and montage (b) and the reproducing part between the OUT_time as indication as information reproduction;
(d) comprise the PlayList of at least one PlayItem as information reproduction; With
(e) therein with the jump mapping of the position of sheet form record jump.
In the present invention, data of multiple angles is called as multi-angle object (for example, AV, video, audio frequency, other data) data of the reproduction unit that comprises that a plurality of and certain recovery time is corresponding.That is to say that data of multiple angles comprises the data (for example, under the situation of video, by the data of camera) that obtained in different angles by several reception/data collectors.Usually, voice data is created as the equal angular data in different angles, but can differently be created in different angles.In a word, usually, the many video object datas that reproduce in can distinguishing at one time are called as data of multiple angles, and many contents of reproducing in can distinguishing at one time (for example, audio frequency, other data) be called as the multi-angle content, but here for easy, all types of multidata of reproducing in can distinguishing at one time are called as data of multiple angles.
In describing the present invention, use the example of multi-angle AV data as data of multiple angles, usually, the size of video object data is very big, therefore is stored as the bit stream of compression or transmits.The present invention uses as the montage of record unit (that is data unit) with as the PlayList and the PlayItem that reproduce unit.Montage with as corresponding at the video title set VOB primitive as the record unit among traditional DVD as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 6, PGCI program and the PGCI primitive as the reproduction unit among the DVD is corresponding respectively with as shown in FIG. 6 for PlayList and PlayItem.
More particularly, according to the present invention, AV stream is that unit is recorded in the adjacent area of information storage medium with the montage.Usually, AV stream also is compressed and writes down to reduce the size of AV stream.When reproducing the montage of record, the characteristic of the montage of service recorder in each montage is to explain the video object data of compression.But clip characteristics or clip information comprise the Voice ﹠ Video attribute of each montage and have entrance mapping about the information of the position of the entrance of random access.Under the situation of Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) video compression technology, the entrance is positioned at the I picture of intraframe coding.The entrance mapping mainly is used during the schedule time after data reproduction is detected the time search of Data Position.
Figure 13 represents according to the relation of the embodiment of the invention between PlayList, PlayItem, clip information and montage.With reference to Figure 13, PlayList reproduces unit substantially.In information storage medium according to the present invention, a plurality of PlayList have been stored.A PlayList comprises one or more PlayItem.PlayItem is linked to the part of montage, more particularly, and the start and end time of the reproduction of indication in montage.Therefore, clip information is used to easily detect a part of wishing in the montage.Below, the data structure and the record position of data of multiple angles are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 14 is the diagrammatic sketch according to embodiment of the invention relation between jump unit and the jump in montage AV stream.With reference to Figure 14, if montage representative at the video object data and the part data of multiple angles of special angle, then the montage starting point that is divided into a plurality of jumps unit and each jump unit is called as jump.Each jump represents to be used for the point of certain montage of another angle, and this point is respectively when at the reproduction period of this certain montage starting point or the point of destination when the montage that is used for different angles is jumped into or jumped back out in the montage that is used for different angles.Therefore, the montage jump is linked to another angle-data with montage.According to an aspect of the present invention, jump is the entrance.Yet for seamless data reproduction, not all entrance always is set to jump, because the entrance forms with about 0.5 second interval.
To be expression be used for the diagrammatic sketch of the angle data clip of a plurality of links that the data of multiple angles of montage reproduces according to the embodiment of the invention to Figure 15.As shown in Figure 15, suppose that a plurality of montages with equal number jump link each other, each montage is recorded in the zones of different and by the jump in the same reproduction time and links each other.For the reproduction period in montage reproduces different montages (different angle data clip), after the reproduction of arriving predetermined jump of finishing this montage and detecting the jump unit of this different montages corresponding with being somebody's turn to do predetermined jump unit, reproduce this difference montage from this corresponding jump unit, make it possible to realize seamless, the successively reproducing of montage thus.In Figure 15, for example, arrow is represented such process, wherein, the montage that is used for the third angle degree is at first partly reproduced, and selected in reproduction period first angle of the montage that is used for the third angle degree, the montage that is used for first angle is reproduced, selected in the reproduction period m of the montage that is used for first angle angle, and it is reproduced to be used for the montage of m angle.When the user imports the order that changes angle, be that unit carries out this change with the jump unit.
According to an aspect of the present invention, even when data are recorded in it in discrete zones of different of the information storage medium that can carry out random access, still can be in the given time when changing the position of reproducer from information storage medium successively reproducing data.In the present invention, the change of the position of reproducer is described to jump.Usually, jump does not need the other time in such as the volatile electronic information storage medium of storer.Yet under the situation such as the non-volatile information storage medium of the CD that comes reading of data by the mobile optical pick-up, jumping needs the other time.In addition, when the speed that reads video object data from information storage medium and the speed of reproducing the video object data read not simultaneously, be used in the adjacent area read and reproduce even data are recorded in, information storage medium still need to compensate read and reproduction speed between the equipment of difference.According to the present invention, video object buffer is used as such equipment, even be still to allow in discrete zones of different of its information storage medium that can carry out random access when data of multiple angles is recorded in it the time in the given time when changing the position of reproducer from information storage medium successively reproducing data of multiple angles, and provide to read and reproduction speed between the compensation of difference.The data that read from information storage medium are stored in the video object buffer at a predetermined velocity, and these data are reproduced from this impact damper then.During data read, the speed that control data reads is very important, with overflow or the underflow that prevents video object buffer.Even video object data is by with variable bit rate (VBR) record, the use of video object buffer still makes it possible to realize the seamless-reproduced of data.

Then, the jump cell size of Que Dinging is converted into the recovery time.Then, video object data is encoded so that random access (inlet) point is set to larger than this recovery time or identical with this recovery time.Here, usually, be jump to the interface of video object data.Usually, random access point is that under the situation of MPEG, jump is set to the entrance such as the starting point of group of picture (GOP) in the time-space compressed encoding of MPEG.Therefore, with MPEG, each jump unit comprises a plurality of GOP.In addition, usually, jump is formed on the same reproduction time of each video object data in the district.
For each angle, the video object data of coding is recorded in the adjacent area of information storage medium.Information about the position of jump is registered as additional information.According to embodiments of the invention, can be registered as clip information about the information of the jump of each montage, clip characteristics is provided thus.
Then, the information about the reproduction unit that forms data of multiple angles is created and is recorded.For example, the PlayList that comprises the PlayItem corresponding with each montage of multi-angle is formed by PlayItem being linked each other (that is angle block gauge PlayItem).On the other hand, single PlayList can be corresponding with single angle.
Figure 24 to 26 is that expression is according to the structure of the information storage medium of another embodiment of the present invention storage data of multiple angles and the diagrammatic sketch that reproduces from this information storage medium.According to an aspect of the present invention, information storage medium has such data structure, that is, the video object data that is used for multi-angle therein is unit record with the montage and is set to jump in all entrances that montage forms.
When the user wants when the reproduction period of the montage that is used for an angle changes angle, reproducer according to the present invention reproduce this montage to the entrance of the immediate montage in current reproduction position, jump to the entrance of the montage of the angle that be used to change corresponding, and after the entrance of the montage of this angle that is used to change, reproduce the montage of the angle that is used to change with the entrance of the montage of reproducing.Here, usually, all entrances that are used for all angles are formed in the montage in district of identical time.In other words, as shown in Figure 24, each the video angle object data that is recorded in the adjacent and different zones with physics mode logically links each other by each entrance.
Usually, as shown in Figure 25, entrance EP has the record unit of the recovery time between 0.5 second and 1 second and also is formed on the position that can carry out random access.When the multi-angle video object data was used the MPEG compression, video object data comprised a plurality of GOP.For the entrance of during angle changes, using the video object data that comprises a plurality of GOP as jump, need all images among the GOP to form by the sealing GOP (closed GOP) that only uses the picture coding among the relevant GOP.
All entrances are in the recording medium data structure of jump therein, need be about the additional information of jump.Yet, in this data structure, when reproducer jumps to the entrance with the change angle, may cause the underflow of playback buffer device.Therefore, according to an aspect of the present invention, in order to prevent that reproducer from during jumping or jump to the entrance of the definite part of information storage medium after just jumping, as shown in Figure 25, providing no jump part.The part that does not allow to jump is called as no skipped blocks (NJB).
With reference to Figure 26, when being included in data volume in the impact damper when the data reproduction that just carries out reproducer or after jumping, do not allow angle to change less than data volume B.Here, data volume B is the minimum that allows the seamless-reproduced data volume of the image of hopping time JUMP_T.When the reconstruction of image was continuous when surpassing NJB length, the data volume in impact damper always was allowed in all entrances greater than data volume B and jump.
The length of NJB can use the same procedure of the length of calculating JPU to calculate.More particularly, suppose that the longest hopping time is T_JUMP, the speed of reading of data is V_R, and the speed of reproducing video object data is V_O, and the length of calculating NJB is as follows:
NJB length>V_R*V_O*T_JUMP/ (V_R-V_O) ... (3)
In addition, usually, the size of impact damper is determined below satisfying:
Buffer sizes (B)>V_O*T_JUMP ... (4)
