Embodiment
Below with reference to the description of drawings embodiments of the invention.
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of the illustration structure of expression recording/reproducing apparatus 1.
In addition, controller 21 can be carried out Navigator, so that reproduce the information that is recorded on the CD 1 of packing into, can work in coordination with the application program of carrying out with Navigator, whether be loaded in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 with CD 11, all the built-in application program that can carry out separately regardless of the record Navigator.Since virtual machine, for example installation of JAVA (registered trade mark), and Navigator and application program at least a portion separately is suitable for and can moves on multi-platform.In addition, built-in application program can be suitable for being merely able to move in the execution environment of controller 21, perhaps owing to the installation of virtual machine, can move on multi-platform.
In addition, application program in being kept at local storage 24 or internal memory 23 is when Navigator in being recorded in CD 11 or local storage 24 can both move on similar virtual machine, and when the inter-application communication function is provided, controller 21 launches this application program and Navigator in internal memory 23, and move this application program and Navigator synergistically, thereby, the operation that controller 21 can controlling recording/reproducer 1.
Under the control of controller 21, CD drive 22 is exported to controller 21 to the data of reading from CD 11 sense datas, internal memory 23 or code converter 26, and from internal memory 23, local storage 24 or code converter 26 signal supplied are recorded on the CD 11 of packing into.When the information of reading from CD 11 is Navigator, during playlist etc., the information that CD drive 22 is read is exported to controller 21 or internal memory 23.When the information of reading from CD 11 was AV stream or text data, the information that CD drive 22 is read was exported to code converter 26.
Fig. 2 is pack into the diagrammatic sketch of example of application format of the CD 11 in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 of expression.Except CD 11, recording medium can also be for example tape or semiconductor memory.
Application format has the two-layer of management AV (audiovisual) stream, i.e. playlist layer and clip layer.Here, a pair of AV stream or text data and clip information (it is an information of following this AV stream or text data) are regarded as an object, and these totally are called a montage.Below, the data file of AV stream is called as the AV stream file.In addition, the data file of clip information is called as clip information file.
Usually, the file that uses in the computer etc. is processed into byte sequence.Content in the AV stream is unfolded on time shaft, and the access point in the montage mainly utilizes the time stamp indication by playlist.
When the access point in the montage utilizes time stamp when indication, clip information file to be used to obtain the address information that should begin to decode according to time stamp in the AV stream file by playlist.
Playlist is one group of multinomial information of the playback segment of indication AV stream.The information of a playback segment in the indication AV stream is called as playitems playitem.Playitems playitem is by a pair of IN point (playback starting point) and OUT point (playback terminal point) expression of playback segment on time shaft.So as shown in Figure 2, a playlist is made of one or more playitems playitem.
In Fig. 2, first playlist shown in beginning from the left side is made of two playitems playitem.With regard to two playitems playitem, quote the first half and the latter half of the AV stream that is included in first montage shown in the left side.In addition, second playlist shown in beginning from the left side is made of a playitems playitem.With regard to this playitems playitem, quote the whole AV stream that is included in second montage shown in the right side.In addition, the 3rd playlist shown in beginning from the left side is made of two playitems playitem, with regard to these two playitems playitem, correspondingly quote the predetermined portions of the AV stream that is included in first montage shown in the left side and be included in the predetermined portions that the AV in second montage shown in the right side flows.
Navigator is the functional programs that the interaction that makes controller 21 carry out the order of controls playing playlists and playlist is reset.In addition, Navigator has and shows the function of menu screen of specifying the execution of various playbacks for the user.In addition, all of Navigator or at least some functions are to utilize because virtual machine, and such as the installation of JAVA (registered trade mark), the programming language that can carry out on multi-platform is write.In addition, in the function of Navigator, some other functions except that the part of writing with the programming language that can carry out on multi-platform, available can not on multi-platform, the execution, but the programming language that can carry out in the exclusive execution environment of this equipment is write.
For example, when Navigator is carried out by controller 21, and be included among Fig. 2 first playitems playitem from first playlist shown in the left side begins when being designated as the information of replay position of indication this moment, the first half that is included in the AV stream in first montage shown in the left side that this playitems playitem is quoted is played.
In addition, except the main path by the playitems playitem appointment, the playlist that utilizes Fig. 2 to describe is suitable for comprising the information of the subpath of utilization sub-playitems playitem appointment as shown in Figure 3.Sub-playitems playitem is as giving a definition.For example, not with by the multiplexed independent data stream of the montage (for example, MPEG2 transport stream) of playitems playitem appointment can with the playback synchronization of AV stream be played.
For example, by with in the captions relevant information of preparing by the montage AV stream of the main path of playitems playitem appointment to constitute relatedly by text subtitle file and required performance font file, and the sub-playitems playitem of the playback segment of appointment captions relevant information, can with the playback of montage AV stream side by side, utilization to be writing the display font of the character font data in the font file, on display unit, show with write text subtitle file in the corresponding captions of data.On the other hand, by with at the voice data of dubbing of preparing different language by the montage AV stream of the main path of playitems playitem appointment relatedly, with the sub-playitems playitem corresponding, can side by side reproduce and export the voice data of dubbing of different language with the playback of montage AV stream with dubbing voice data.
Like this, sub-playitems playitem and corresponding data (montage) can be recorded on the CD 11 in advance, download from server 3 through network 2 as additional data (more new data), perhaps utilize detachable media 28 and obtain.The back will utilize Fig. 4 that the details of downloading the situation of this additional data from server 3 is described.
We return the explanation of Fig. 1 once more now.
AV stream or text datas decoding that 26 pairs of code converters are supplied with from CD drive 22 or local storage 24, and give exterior display device vision signal that obtains and audio signal output.In display unit, according to the signal of code converter 26 decodings, the output of the content of executive logging on CD 11 (demonstration of video and the output of audio frequency).In addition, code converter 26 can flow the AV from CD drive 22 or local storage 24 supplies or the format conversion of text data becomes predetermined format,, carries out decoding processing that is, subsequently according to AV stream or the text data coding of predetermined format to format transformation.Code converter 26 can be supplied with CD drive 22 to the AV of coding stream or text data again, and coding AV stream or text data are recorded on the CD 11 of installation (needless to say, this CD can be the CD different with the CD 11 of the data of reading format transformation from it).
In addition, controller 21 also is connected with driver 27 as required.For example by disk (comprising floppy disk), and CD (comprise CD-ROM (compact disc-ROM) and DVD), magneto optical disk (comprising MD (registered trade mark) (minidisk)), the detachable media 28 of formations such as semiconductor memory is installed on the driver 27.
Notice that recording/reproducing apparatus 1 can be equipped with the module of not describing here, perhaps can be connected, and be configured to work in coordination with and handle with another equipment.For example, can increase the function that receives broadcasting wave, connect the function of cable TV network etc., thereby recording/reproducing apparatus 1 be configured to obtain so-called programme content etc. to the recording/reproducing apparatus shown in Fig. 11.Can increase to recording/reproducing apparatus 1 programme content that obtains etc. is recorded in function (for example, the back utilizes Figure 29 that an one example is described) on the booking situation medium.Another equipment that perhaps has this function can be connected with recording/reproducing apparatus 1, thereby makes it obtain programme content or analogs by controller 21 control, analog perhaps in the recorded program, or the like processing.In this case, control receives the function of radio wave and the application program of the function that is connected cable TV network, promptly, carry out and the content-data that reproduces on the CD 11 that is recorded in installation, the application program that perhaps is kept at the processing different with the processing of data download in the related local storage 24 of CD 11 is stored in internal memory 23 or the local storage 24, and is carried out by controller 21.
In addition, when the function that receives broadcasting wave, function that connects cable TV network or the like is added in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 shown in Fig. 1, thereby, when recording/reproducing apparatus 1 is configured to obtain so-called programme content etc., can can be downloaded together with broadcasting wave by the various programs that controller 21 is carried out, and be installed in internal memory 23 or the local storage 24.
Below, the method for reproducing the data on the CD 11 that is recorded in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 of packing into and being kept at the data in the local storage 24 is described.
Recording/reproducing apparatus 1 comprises the local storage 24 that is made of HDD (hard disk drive) or analog.Recording/reproducing apparatus 1 is connected with network 2 through cable, perhaps with network 2 wireless connections, and can be being recorded in the local storage 24 from server 3 downloaded contents through network 2.From server 3, can download and be used for upgrading the data of content such as film that are recorded on the CD 11 of recording/reproducing apparatus 1 of packing into this moment.
Under downloaded contents is recorded in state in the local storage 24, play when being recorded in the instruction of the content on the CD 11 when providing from operation input unit 29, controller 21 is carried out the content and the content association that is recorded in the local storage 24 that are recorded on the CD 11, and the processing of playing these content items.
Here, play content that is recorded on the CD 11 and the method that is recorded in the content in the local storage 24 with utilizing Fig. 4 to illustrate interrelatedly.
For example, suppose that CD 11 is packaged media for sale, a movie contents is recorded on the CD 11.Supposition has only been write down the English text subtitle file as can be overlapping and be presented at subtitle data files on the video of movie contents on CD 11 in addition.
For example, in Fig. 4, be recorded on the CD 11, the AV stream that is played the montage 1 that the playitems playitem in the tabulation quotes is the stream that is used to show the video of movie contents and plays corresponding audio frequency.The captions relevant information 1 that is played the montage 2 that the sub-playitems playitem in the tabulation quotes is in company with the demonstration of video together, shows the text subtitle file of English subtitles.
In this case, when the user wishes when showing captions with the language that is different from English, when watching the movie contents that is recorded on the CD 11, owing on CD 11, do not write down the caption data of the other Languages except that English, if therefore do not carry out any operation, the user can not watch this film when showing caption data with the language that is different from English so.
So the user makes recording/reproducing apparatus 1 download the text subtitle file that (perhaps utilizing detachable media 28 to obtain) is recorded in the required language of the film on the CD 11 through network 2 from server 3.The following describes wherein and to download the situation that (perhaps from detachable media 28 to local storage 24 duplicate) is not recorded in the arabic text subtitle file on the CD 11 in advance.
Promptly, when the user send download and be recorded in CD 11 in advance on the instruction of the corresponding arabic text subtitle file of playlist the time, suppose at recording/reproducing apparatus 1 and will obtain visit server 3, with the renewal with the content of executive logging on CD 11, the file of preparing in server 3 is downloaded.
In the example in Fig. 4, except video clipping and the audio clips (AV flow data) that is recorded in the movie contents on the CD 11 in advance, and outside the English text subtitle file, by arabic text subtitle file (captions relevant information 2) and the montage 3 of following the clip information file of text subtitle file to constitute, can control the reproduction of caption data of corresponding montage 3 and the play list file (play list file of renewal) of demonstration, with be recorded in CD 11 on the Navigator file compare, the new Navigator file that has been updated is downloaded, and is recorded in the local storage 24.
Notice that except the playitems playitem of indication main path, the sub-playitems playitem 1 and the sub-playitems playitem 2 of indication subpath also are added in the playlist of renewal.Playitems playitem in the playlist that upgrades is suitable for quoting the montage 1 that comprises the AV stream that is recorded on the CD 11.Sub-playitems playitem 1 is suitable for quoting the montage 2 that comprises the captions relevant information 1 that is recorded on the CD 11.Sub-playitems playitem 2 is suitable for quoting and comprises that captions relevant information 2, captions relevant information 2 are arabic text subtitle files of downloading from server 3 together with the playlist that upgrades.
New Navigator among Fig. 4 is suitable for and can specifies sub-playitems playitem 1 and sub-playitems playitem 2 as playback segment together with the playitems playitem in the playlist that upgrades.Therefore, at the English subtitles that define by the English text subtitle file that is recorded in advance on the CD 11, perhaps, can wish the captions of language with the related ground of desired video and voice data explicit user by in the Arabic captions that are not recorded in the arabic text subtitle file definition on the CD 11 in advance.
Like this, by downloading (perhaps duplicating) from detachable media 28 from server 3, can make recording/reproducing apparatus 1 can reproduce and show montage 2 (it is the English text subtitle file) or montage 3 (it is the arabic text subtitle file, and prepares in advance) captions in CD 11 as film.That is, by the language of selecting the shown subtitle language that illustrates from the menu screen on being shown in display unit to want, the user can watch has the language of hope, the film of the captions of English or Arabic.
Notice that the AV stream that is recorded on the CD 11 has MPEG2 (moving picture expert group 2) transport stream, as shown in Figure 5.The MPEG2 transport stream is made of the alignment unit of integer.The size of an alignment unit is 6144 bytes (2048 * 3 bytes), from first byte of source grouping.The length of source grouping is 192 bytes.A source grouping is made up of a TP_ex_header and a transmission.TP_ex_header length is 4 bytes, and the transmission block length is 188 bytes.An alignment unit is made up of 32 sources.Data in video flowing and the audio stream are packaged into MPEG2 PES (Packet Elementary Stream) grouping.The PES grouping is packaged into a transmission grouping.
Fig. 6 is a diagrammatic sketch of describing first example of so-called software stack, and it is in the function of indicating in the controller 21 that is included in Fig. 1, by JAVA (registered trade mark) environment function that provides and the modular structure that embeds the function in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 in advance.
In addition, the whole Navigator of being carried out by controller 21 and can utilize JAVA (registered trade mark) language compilation with the collaborative application program of carrying out of Navigator is described here.But, even be to utilize any programming language, under the situation of writing such as C# or Visual Basic in these programs, these programs also are similar executable, as long as programming language can move on virtual machine, that is, programming language can move on multi-platform.In addition, built-in application program 49 (it is to control the functional programs that embeds in advance in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1) needn't be write with programming language that can operation on multi-platform, on the contrary, preferably utilize the language that might carry out inter-application communication, write such as C or C++ with JAVA (registered trade mark) Xlet.
OS (operating system) serves as the basic operation basis of controller 21, provide many application programs (here, the basic function that Navigator 45 and application program 47-1～47-n) are commonly used, such as the driver 41 of the several software of managing conduct activation hardware and the internal memory 23 and the local storage 24 of the every information of management accounts, and the software of the whole system of management accounts/reproducer 1.
JVM (JAVA (registered trade mark) virtual machine) the 44th converts JAVA (registered trade mark) bytecode this machine code of platform to, and carries out the software of this this machine code.Navigator 45 and application program 47-1～47-n as the every software that utilizes JAVA (registered trade mark) exploitation have the unique form (JAVA (registered trade mark) bytecode) that is independent of platform, can not former state be performed.So JVA44 carries out Navigator 45 and application program 47-1～47-n by JAVA (registered trade mark) bytecode being converted to this machine code of recording/reproducing apparatus 1.
For example, as utilizing Fig. 2-Fig. 5 described, Navigator 45 provides is used for reproducing and is recorded on the CD 11 and the program of the data of local storage 24, be control and the data that are kept on the CD 11 of installation, the program of the processing of the data among the zone in the local storage 24 related with the CD that is kept at and installs 11.
That is, Navigator 45 can be only in the scope of order of preparing as API storehouse 46 and function, the hardware of controlling recording/reproducer 1.
Application program 47-1～47-n uses such as JAVA (registered trade mark) programming language to write, and runs on the JVM 44.And Navigator 45 mainly is suitable for providing the predetermined function related with CD 11, and application program 47-1～47-n provides the application program of the unique function of recording/reproducing apparatus 1.Application program 47-1～47-n can be kept in the local storage 24 in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 in advance, can utilize CD 11 or detachable media 28 to install, and perhaps can download and install by network 2.
In the following description, in the time needn't distinguishing each application program 47-1～47-n, application program 47-1～47-n is called application program 47 simply.
Whether built-in application program 49 is suitable for carrying out on middleware 48, and be loaded in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 no matter record the CD 11 of Navigator.Built-in application program 49 (represented built-in application program 49 among the figure, so that built-in application program 49 is the application programs that are higher than application program 47 than application program 47 higher application programs; This does not mean that its part can carry out on JVM, on the contrary, built-in application program 49 is merely able to carry out on middleware 48).
On the other hand, built-in application program 49 be suitable for realizing directly be recorded in CD 11 on the relevant function of reproduction processes of information.Promptly, built-in application program 49 is not the content-data that is recorded on the CD 11 of installation, perhaps be kept at the necessary program of reproduction processes of the data download in the local storage 24 related with CD 11, such as controlling through broadcasting wave, cable systems etc. offer the program of record of user's programme content, carry out the program of web browser and database processing, the assistant's of user operation unit the program of demonstration of display screen (so-called GUI) is served as in control, by the interface under network 2 and the book server exchange message situation, perhaps data are recorded in processing on the installation recording medium such as CD.
Like this, the installation of content-data on the CD 11 that is recorded in to(for) reproduction, perhaps be kept at when optional built-in application program 49 equals to carry out in the environment except that virtual machine environment such as JAVA (registered trade mark) the processing of the data download in the local storage 24 related with CD 11, can then use or use usually hardware and software resource that use up to now or use in miscellaneous equipment etc., although do not correspond to multi-platform.So, can significantly reduce development cost.
Below, Fig. 7 represents second example of the software stack in the controller 21.
Part except the Navigator 45 carried out by controller 21, with can utilize JAVA (registered trade mark) language compilation with the collaborative application programs of carrying out 47 of Navigator 45, and the part of Navigator 45 and built-in application program 49 not necessarily need to utilize outside JAVA (registered trade mark) language compilation (being performed on the middleware 48), and this situation is identical with the situation of utilizing Fig. 6 to describe basically.
Even under the situation of this structure, because the described part of Navigator 45 be to utilize the programming language that can run on the virtual machine with working in coordination with the application program of carrying out 47 with Navigator, promptly, can run on the programming language on multi-platform, such as JAVA (registered trade mark) language compilation, therefore utilize IXC to carry out inter-application communication, and carry out associated treatment.
In addition similarly in this case, when to the content-data on the CD that is recorded in installation, perhaps be kept at when optional built-in application program 49 is suitable for carrying out in the environment except that virtual machine environment such as JAVA (registered trade mark) the reproduction processes of the data download in the local storage 24 related with CD 11, can then use or use usually hardware and software resource that use up to now or use in miscellaneous equipment etc., although do not correspond to multi-platform.So, can significantly reduce development cost.
Like this, by utilizing the unique API (that is, API 51 and API 52 that back utilize Fig. 8 describe) different with the API storehouse 46 that is Navigator 45 preparations, the hardware that application program 47 can controlling recording/reproducer 1.In other words, the various parameters of application program 47 in can operation note/reproducer 1.In addition, application program 47 can realize being included in advance in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1, and being used for realizing is not the control of the system of the specific function write with JAVA (registered trade mark).
For example, has the function that receives broadcast program when recording/reproducing apparatus 1, the function of the channel of the broadcast program that change will receive, the function of the broadcast program of recorder, connection such as the internet wide area network and carry out the function that web browses, in the interface function under the situation of network 2 and book server exchange message, when perhaps data being recorded in function on the installation recording medium such as CD, can prepare to provide these functions built-in application program 49 and can with the application program 47 of Navigator 45 these functions of Collaborative Control.Notice that when the order of these functions of control etc. was not included in the order of preparing as API storehouse 46 and the function, Navigator 45 can not directly be controlled these functions.
In other words, even do not exist when application program 47 and built-in application program 49, recording/reproducing apparatus 1 also can be carried out the processing of playing CD 11.Specifically, for example, even do not possess function as the reception broadcast program of recording/reproducing apparatus 1 exclusive function, the programme content that record obtains, database function, the equipment of web function of browse etc., perhaps do not have data are recorded in function on the recording medium of installation, that is, the equipment that only has playback also can be play CD 11, as long as the environment that wherein can carry out Navigator 45 is provided.
In addition, built-in application program 49 is to be independent of Navigator 45, separately the application program of carrying out.On the other hand, application program 47 is suitable on the contrary as long as could move when working in coordination with Navigator 45.Navigator 45 and built-in application program 49 can be performed completely independent from one anotherly.To carry out Navigator 45 and built-in application program 49 in order working in coordination with each other (association), application program 47 must to be provided between them.
Be suitable under the situation of mutual synthetic operation in application program 47 and Navigator 45, Navigator 45 is suitable for detecting and activation is kept in local storage 24 or the internal memory 23, and the application program 47 of synthetic operation with it.Promptly, for example, the identification information of at least one identification CD 11 (for example, disc_id that illustrates later or content_id), the supplier's of at least one identification content identification information (for example, the org_id that illustrates later) etc. (that is, and when application program 47 is suitable for collaborative a plurality of Navigators 45 operations, multinomial identification information) related with application program 47.Navigator 45 is suitable for detecting and activates the application program related with predetermined identification information 47, and with application program 47 executable operations synergistically.
On the other hand, for example, application program 47 is suitable for operating input by the user and activates.Even in this case, application program 47 also is suitable for collaborative Navigator 45 operations.In addition, for example, the identification information (disc_id that for example, illustrates later or content_id) of or multinomial identification CD 11, identification information (org_id that for example, illustrates later) of the supplier of one or multinomial identification content etc. can be related with application program 47.
In addition, the application program 47 and the Navigator 45 (or part of Navigator 45) that run on the JVM 44 can be configured to JAVA (registered trade mark) Xlets, and utilize IXC (communicating by letter between Xlet) to carry out communication between these application programs.
In addition, utilize IXC to run on interprogram communication between a plurality of application programs 47 on the JVM 44 equally.
Xlet has utilized PBP (the basic abridged table of individual) and PP (individual abridged table) to define the application program execution model of its standard.Xlet defines in JAVA (registered trade mark) TV at first, and JAVA (registered trade mark) TV is JAVA (registered trade mark) the execution environment standard about TV set-top box.Communicate by letter between Xlet, that is, the IXC standard has been added in this standard, and this standard is defined as Application models about CDC (jockey configuration) to Xlet.
When supporting a plurality of Xlet, carries out the Xlet execution environment.Because single Xlet uses independently class loader, therefore single Xlet can not directly quote other Xlet.For exchange message between a plurality of Xlet, defined IXC.The back will utilize Figure 24-Figure 39 explanation wherein to utilize IXC, between Xlet, that is, and exchange message between application program 47 and Navigator 45, and an object lesson of the situation of execution associated treatment.
Below, Fig. 8 is described in every application software of representing in the software stack of utilizing Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 explanation the diagrammatic sketch of the relation between descriptive language and the application program.
That is, the Navigator 45 usefulness JAVA (registered trade mark) of at least a portion write, and another part of Navigator 45 can be used another language compilation.Basically pass through from API storehouse 46 call methods, Navigator 45 controls are to the content-data on the CD 11 that is recorded in installation, (for example perhaps be kept at the reproduction processes of the data download in the local storage 24 related requisite function group 53 with CD 11, comprise the various functions of realizing by driver 41), such as playback control function group 53-1 and presentation control function group 53-2.In addition, in Navigator 45, be suitable for utilizing predetermined command, direct control function group 53 with the part of another kind of language compilation.
In recording/reproducing apparatus 1, for the polytype CD 11 that provides by each content originator is provided, perhaps for each CD 11 not only can be recorded/reproducer 1 broadcast, and can be by the recording/reproducing apparatus that provides by each manufacturer, broadcasts such as reproducer, needing a kind ofly provide the content originator of CD 11 and the standard that the manufacturer of reproducer (comprising recording/reproducing apparatus 1) the observes agreement of this standard (perhaps according to) is provided.
Promptly, in order to utilize the Navigator 45 relevant with CD 11, carry out and reproduce the content-data that is recorded on the CD 11 that is installed in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1, perhaps be kept at the processing of the data download in the local storage 24 related with CD 11, promptly, in order to control requisite function group 53 concerning the processing of resetting, the described standard agreement of described standard (perhaps according to) needs definition API storehouse method (under the situation of the method in calling API storehouse 46), perhaps order (under the situation of directly giving an order).
On the contrary, owing to carry out inter-application communication by utilizing IXC by the application program 47 that Navigator 45 activates, collaborative Navigator operation, and utilize handle resetting and nonessential JAVA (registered trade mark) write, therefore, application program 47 needn't be observed the described standard agreement of described standard (perhaps according to).
So, application program 47 is prepared the unique API storehouse 51 and 52 different with API storehouse 46, and therefore, application program 47 can be visited requisite function group 53 concerning the processing of resetting, and can visit and be included in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1, and handling resetting and nonessential function group 54.In addition, application program 47 can be utilized JNI (JAVA (registered trade mark) local interface) visit built-in application program 49, and built-in application program 49 is local functions of recording/reproducing apparatus 1.
For example, the built-in application program 49-1 (so-called web browser) that comprises control web function of browse as the built-in application program 49 of the local function of recording/reproducing apparatus 1, control chart is as the built-in application program 49-2 of writing function, the built-in application program 49-3 of control data library facility (for example, so-called database software, or the part of its function), control relevant with the GUI display screen, with the built-in application program 49-4 of acquisition by the function of user's operation of user's input of checking the GUI display screen, or the like.
Note, be described as built-in application program 49 with the another kind of language compilation that is different from JAVA (registered trade mark) here.But needless to say, built-in application program 49 can be write with JAVA (registered trade mark).In this case, application program 47 and built-in application program 49 utilize IXC to carry out inter-application communication.In other words, the application program 47 that does not require the standard of playing CD 11 on reproducer etc. the observed agreement of this standard (perhaps according to) is suitable for carrying out inter-application communication, and the another kind of language compilation that no matter built-in application program 49 is a usefulness is different from JAVA (registered trade mark), still write with JAVA (registered trade mark).On the contrary, the Navigator 45 of require observing the described standard agreement of this standard (perhaps according to) can not carry out inter-application communication with built-in application program 49.
In some cases, the version of these built-in application programs 49 is updated.Because situation is normally such, promptly, these built-in application programs 49 are used in a plurality of messaging devices etc. usually, and the version that presupposes built-in application program 49 with situation about being updated under the design these built-in application programs 49, therefore normally under situation about not changing with the interface of OS and other application program, upgrade the version of built-in application program 49.So even when the version of built-in application program 49 is updated, if be not changed with the interface of application program 47, the inter-application communication function with application program 47 is retained so.So,, also can under the situation that does not change Navigator 45 and application program 47, carry out similarly and handle even when the version of the built-in application program 49 that uses under the situation of Navigator 45 and application program 47 mutual synthetic operations is updated.
Specifically, for example, by pre-determining the class libraries relevant with the rolling of screen, the method of selection and definite icon or analog, check the obtaining or the like of user's operation of the user input of GUI display screen, control among the built-in application program 49-4 of the function that relates to the GUI display screen, be updated, also can under the situation that does not change Navigator 45 and application program 47, similarly handle even work as the version of built-in application program 49.
By this structure, be configured to can be by utilizing various recording mediums or wired or wireless communication when premise equipment, supply with the control program that directly control is included in the function in the premise equipment, supply with the order that has been installed in the control program in the described premise equipment, or the like, from Long-distance Control, promptly, when being different from the situation that single application program only is performed in premise equipment, because the program of supplying with from the outside (here, Navigator 45) and (here, application program 47 to be installed in application program in the equipment; In some cases, comprise built-in application program 49 in fact) synthetic operation each other, therefore can access recording/reproducing apparatus 1, described recording/reproducing apparatus 1 can provide has only this equipment just to have, have more than and this device association, but the standard agreement of this standard (perhaps according to) of definition is observed in the service related with CD 11 simultaneously, so that the content related with CD 11 can be play by various reproducers or analog.
Fig. 9 is illustrated in the function of utilizing the controller 21 that Fig. 6 describes, carries out the functional-block diagram of the exemplary functionality structure that realizes under the situation of Navigator.
Each structure among Fig. 9 is by utilizing controller 21, carries out pre-prepd or is recorded in that Navigator 45 on the CD 11 realizes.
Operation input acquiring unit 61 obtains the signal of indication from the operation of user's input, described operation is from 29 inputs of operation input unit, and indication exported to menu screen indicative control unit 62 from the signal of the operation of user input, data capture unit 63, the corresponding unit in local storage directory management unit 64 or the playback control unit 67.
Menu screen indicative control unit 62 externally shows the audio frequency that comprises when selecting to be recorded in the content on the CD 11 on the display unit, when the language of captions and video angle, the button that the user handles, when selecting transaction file of downloading down and the file that will delete, the button that the user handles, or the like menu screen.
The communication that data capture unit 63 controls utilize the internet interface 25 among Fig. 1 to carry out perhaps utilizes the information exchange of driver 27 and detachable media 28.For example, data capture unit 63 is exported to local storage directory management unit 64 to the file that obtains from the transaction file of server 3 downloads and acquisition user appointment.In addition, the file system that data capture unit 63 illustrates from behind merges the supply that processing unit 66 receives the information of indication required file, download and obtain described required file from server 3, and the file that obtains is exported to local storage directory management unit 64.
The catalogue of local storage directory management unit 64 management local storages 24, and control writes the data of local storage 24 is from the data read of local storage 24 with from the data deletion of local storage.For example, playlist from local storage 24 under the control of local storage directory management unit 64 is exported to memory 23, voice data and video data in the AV stream of from local storage 24, reading, and the text data in the text subtitle file is exported to code converter 26.In addition, when file system merged processing unit 66 and will carry out the merging of file system of the file system of CD 11 and local storage 24, local storage directory management unit 64 merged processing unit 66 exporting to file system about the information of the file system of local storage 24.
CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65 detects and the catalogue of management CD 11, and control reading from every item number certificate of CD 11.On CD 11, be provided as the organization_id (below be also referred to as org_id) of identification information, disc_id, and content_id (optionally).Under the control of CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65, org_id that reads from CD 11 and disc_id (optionally, content_id) are exported to data capture unit 63 and local storage directory management unit 64.In addition, under the control of CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65, the playlist of reading from local storage 11 is exported to internal memory 23, voice data and video from the AV stream that CD is read, and the text data in the text subtitle file is exported to code converter 26.In addition, when file system merged processing unit 66 and will carry out the merging of file system of the file system of CD 11 and local storage 24, CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65 merged processing unit 66 exporting to file system about the information of the file system of CD 11.Org_id, the explanation of disc_id and content_id will provide in the back.
File system merge that processing unit 66 merges the file system of the CD of supplying with from CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65 11 and from local storage directory management unit the file system of 64 local storages of supplying with 24, thereby produce a Virtual File System.File system merges processing unit 66 and exports to playback control unit 67 merging the Virtual File System that produces.
In addition, deleted (being wiped free of of several files in being recorded in local storage 24, promptly, data are deleted) time, file system merging processing unit 66 determines whether because the deletion of described several files, whether occur losing efficacy in the link structure of the file in Virtual File System (that is, utilize application format, play the link of the data of montage such as the playlist of the application format of utilizing Fig. 2-Fig. 4 to describe) based on CD 11.When occurring losing efficacy in the link structure of determining at the file of Virtual File System, file system merges processing unit 66 and extracts the necessary file of the described inefficacy of repairing, and the information providing data capture unit 63 of the described required file of indication, so that data capture unit 63 can be downloaded described required file.
In addition, for example work as owing to be recorded in the deletion of the several files in the local storage 24, when occurring not play the file of (not indicated by all playlists) by any broadcast in Virtual File System, file system merges processing unit 66 and can instruct local storage directory management unit 64 to delete such non-essential document.
Noting whether deleting the non-essential document that occurs owing to the several files of deletion can be provided with by the user.
Whether application program associated treatment control unit 71 detects when carrying out Navigator 45, exist to work in coordination with the application programs of carrying out 47 with Navigator 45.When existence will be worked in coordination with the application program of carrying out 47 with Navigator 45, application program associated treatment control unit 71 utilized IXC control unit 72 and application program 47 exchange messages, and carries out scheduled operation.The back will utilize the object lesson of Figure 24-Figure 39 explanation by the processing of application program associated treatment control unit 71 execution.
Application program is carried out the execution of processing unit 73 controlling application programs 47.JNI control unit 74 has the interface function based on JNI between application program 47 and the built-in application program 49.Built-in application program is carried out the execution of control unit 75 control built-in application programs 49.In addition, when built-in application program 49 is not carried out in recording/reproducing apparatus 1, but when being carried out by another equipment that is connected with recording/reproducing apparatus 1, built-in application program is carried out control unit 75 and is suitable for controlling processing by another external equipment execution.
Below, utilize Figure 10-Figure 19, explanation is merged the file system of the CD 11 of processing unit 66 execution and passes through to download from server 3 with management by the file system in the Navigator 45, duplicate from detachable media 28, duplicate from CD 11, or the like, be recorded in the merging of the file system of the data set in the local storage 24.
For example, when CD 11 is loaded in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1, play when being recorded in the instruction of the content on the CD 11 when providing, when providing I/O and be recorded in the instruction of any item number certificate on the CD 11 or in the local storage 24, when the user provides merge command, or during analogue, the merging of execute file system.
Virtual File System is defined by the upper strata of the local file system (physical record on CD 11 or the file system of the data in the local storage 24) of the system of recording/reproducing apparatus 1.Promptly, as shown in Figure 10, have only Virtual File System as described upper strata just can be performed from server 3 download new datas and new data records local storage, perhaps reproduce physical record on CD 11 or the identification of the Navigator 45 of the processing of the data in the local storage 24, perhaps be operated the User Recognition of Navigator 45.In other words, constitute Virtual File System, so that the local file system abstract, and hide this ground structure, for example physical unit and the operating system in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1.
The effect of Virtual File System mainly is installation file/catalogue in physical unit (CD 11 or local storage 24), and with the file system of the virtual disk that constitutes User Recognition, and navigation program 45 provides the file access API of the virtual disk of structure.
For example, when the user carries out the request Visitor Logs on CD 11 or the operation of any file in the local storage 24 when input, as shown in Figure 11, Navigator 45 is merely able to discern Virtual File System.Be recorded in CD 11 or local file system # 1 on the local storage 24 or local file system # 2 as the actual physics device, perhaps the structure of the file system in the CD 11 is hidden concerning the user of Navigator 45 and operation Navigator 45, and is configured to and can visits by Virtual File System.
In order to carry out the file access request shown in Figure 11, Navigator 45 in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 calls the file I/O API (API) that Virtual File System provides, thereby make and do not knowing the physical structure of CD drive, under the situation of the software configuration of file system etc., can visit physical record on CD 11 or the data in the local storage 24.That is the actual API that calls the local file system in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 of the API of Virtual File System.
Virtual File System provides various API (being included in the API in the API storehouse among Fig. 6).Provide such as the open () that opens specified file, close the close () of specified file, the seek () that reads position or writing position of specified file is set, obtain the stat () of the state of specified file, read the read () of specified file, write the API of the write () and so on of specified file.When Navigator 45 is performed (, when the function that realizes utilizing Fig. 9 to illustrate), playback control unit 67 uses these API operation notes on CD 11 or the file in the local storage 24.
In addition, Virtual File System has the function of cutting apart and managing the disk region of local storage 24.In the disk region of local storage 24, the memory block that is used for the file group of Navigator 45 management has the bibliographic structure of cutting apart for each org_id, as shown in Figure 12.Be right after under the disc_id of the catalogue under the org_id in conduct, content originator (supplier of content) can constitute a file/bibliographic structure flexibly.Wait to be kept at the position that data in the local storage 24 will be arranged in the disk region of local storage 24, that is, the file/bibliographic structure of file to be downloaded is specified by the description that is included in the file control information (inventory file that illustrates later) in the data to be downloaded.
In the file/bibliographic structure of local storage 24, the org_id of segmentation directory is the identifier that is used in corresponding CD constructing virtual file system; Disc_id is the identifier that is used to discern with related every the content of identical org_id, and is used to constitute Virtual File System in the CD of correspondence, as org_id.Org_id and disc_id are included in by network 2 and download, perhaps by the every information of CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65 from the file control information (listings data that illustrates later) of the data of CD 11 detections.
For each tissue or group,, can provide org_id such as the supplier's (content originator) of content or the producer of content.On the other hand, a plurality of tissues or group can use an org_id.On the other hand, one the tissue or group can use a plurality of org_id.In addition, when content of supposition was recorded on the CD 11, a disc_id was related with a described CD 11.On the other hand, for example, multinomial content can be recorded on the CD 1, disc_id can with every relevance.On the other hand, when multinomial content was recorded on the CD 11, a disc_id can be related with a described CD 11, be different from disc_id content_id can with every relevance.That is, content_id is the identifier of identification content.Like this, no matter how org_id and disc_id are used, Virtual File System all constitutes according to each id.The back utilizes Figure 13 supporting paper management information (inventory file), the details of org_id and disc_id.
On the contrary, can be suitable for consistent from the directory/file structure of the virtual disk of application access with the directory/file structure of CD 11.Promptly, the org_id corresponding with CD 11 in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 of packing into and the file structure of the data under the disc_id merge with the file structure that is recorded in the data on the CD 11, thereby constitute the Virtual File System that has based on the virtual disk of the directory/file structure of the directory/file structure of CD 11.
In addition, except catalogue and package management file, it is increment that Virtual File System has with the CD, the function of management document management information (that is the inventory file that, illustrates later).The Virtual File System of the file model of local file system is the Field Definition as the inventory file of file control information that the purpose of metadata has three: provide the title of expression content to the user, rather than the path or the filename of the file of physical record in local storage 24 are provided to the user; Avoid same file in the download process repeat upgrade; With the pathname in the defining virtual file system, that is, and the pathname when playing CD 11.
Virtual File System provides two kinds of functions for metadata management, inventory file and metadata operation process.Inventory file is meant the metadata of the various character of fixing the published article part.Manifest () can be that increment is saved by respective file, perhaps Manifest () fragment can be merged into a file, and the manifest_id (back illustrates in Figure 13) of the identifier by being utilized as Manifest () fragment is as keyword, and it is discernible being configured to.No matter any form, they are called inventory file by integral body.The recording/reproducing apparatus 1 of holding the file that is downloaded to local storage 24 must have inventory file.In addition, by utilizing the SGML by the XML representative, inventory file can be expressed as text.
Figure 13 is the diagrammatic sketch of the grammer of expression inventory file.
Manifest_id is the identifier of this Manifest () fragment.
Organization_id (org_id) specifies the field that is used for constituting at corresponding CD the identifier of Virtual File System.This identifier is to utilize the org_id field of the content distribution of document that Figure 19 illustrates to determine by consulting the back.Application program or user can not be with being intended in this field numerical value to be set.
Disc_id be specify be used for discerning uniquely each CD or with the field of the identifier of related every the content of identical org_id.The same with rg_id, also be used in corresponding CD, constitute Virtual File System.This identifier is to utilize the disc_id field of the content distribution of document that Figure 19 illustrates to determine by consulting the back.Application program or user can not be with being intended in this field numerical value to be set.
Next, permission is the field of being specified License Info by content originator, and described License Info indicates whether to make the user visible or cannot see this character, whether forbids the rewriting of file, or the like.Information among the attention permission can be write in any file except that inventory file, perhaps is configured to an independently file.
Figure 14 represents a train value of appointment among the permission in can the Manifest () in being included in Figure 13.
As shown in Figure 14, when writing 0 * 00 in the permission field at 8, the character of following the file of this metadata is the sightless character of user.When writing 0 * 01 in the permission field at 8, the character of following the file of this metadata is the visible character of user.When writing 0 * 02 in the permission field at 8, the character of following the file of this metadata is to forbid rewriteeing character.
Src_file_name is the field of " pathname " in the so-called path of indication representative, the path utilizes can be in the disk region of local storage 24, indicate the position in the bibliographic structure of file to be recorded in the file system of the memory block of managing by Navigator 45 uniquely, promptly, the information of the position in the hierarchy of the file system of local storage 24, specified file.The title of supposing the file that is used to represent pathname and catalogue is according to ISO/IEC 646 standard codes.
Dst_file_name is the field of " pathname " in the so-called path of indication representative, the path utilizes can be in the binding destination in the actual virtual disk that is kept at the file in the local storage 24, indicate the position of file to be recorded in bibliographic structure uniquely, promptly, the information of the document location in the hierarchy of Virtual File System, specified file.The title of supposing the file that is used to represent pathname and catalogue is according to ISO/IEC 646 standard codes.
Attention can be specified identical title in src_file_name and dst_file_name.
In the time of under the file by the src_file_name appointment is present in the catalogue with different org_id, in voucher, write the information that is used to check the file access permission.Therefore, in the catalogue under a plurality of org_id in local storage 24, can share a content file.
The following describes the metadata operation process.
The content that Virtual File System definition is used to read Manifest (), and navigation program 45 or user do not announce the filename of Manifest (), document location, the API of physical structure etc.
That is, by calling following A PI, Navigator 45 or the TSR of being carried out by the software that embeds in advance in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 can dereference Manifest ().
getProperty
Independent variable 1:
The character string type data
To carry out the absolute path name of the file of metadata operation to it
Independent variable 2:
The character string type data
The entry name of metadata to be read
Return value:
The character string type data
Project metadata corresponding with the independent variable appointment
Function:
Read metadata from Manifest ()
Notice that in fact, the specific definition of API such as type information, must change with the standard of the programming language of the software execution environment of recording/reproducing apparatus 1.
Figure 15 is the diagrammatic sketch of example of the file system of expression CD 11.As shown in Figure 15, the file system of CD 11 has bibliographic structure.
Under " root " catalogue of CD 11, prepare the catalogue of " BDMV " by name.In this catalogue, preserve the file of " Info.bdmv " by name and the file of " MovieObjects.bdmv " by name.Below, these files are called as Info file and MovieObject file respectively.In addition,, quote each file, perhaps, quote each catalogue by to " directory name " interpolation " catalogue " by to " filename " interpolation " file ".
The Info file comprises and the relevant information of menu of playing CD 11.Recording/reproducing apparatus 1 shows the replayed menus screen according to the Info file on display unit, the replayed menus screen comprises that its content comprises, for example plays the whole contents on the CD 11, only plays particular chapter, reset repeatedly, show the project of initial menu or the like.When each project of selection, pending MovieObject can be arranged in the Info file.When the user when the replayed menus screen is selected a project, recording/reproducing apparatus 1 is carried out the order that is arranged on the MovieObject in the Info file.
The MovieObject file is the file that comprises MovieObject.MovieObject comprises the order of the playback of the playlist of controlling recording on CD 11, that is, and and the order that Navigator 45 sends.For example, by selecting the MovieObject on being recorded in CD 11 and carry out a MovieObject, recording/reproducing apparatus 1 can be play the content that is recorded on the CD 11.
In addition, MovieObject comprises that collaboration application 47 handles needed various command.Specifically, for example, in MovieObject, comprise the order whether application program 47 that the collaborative Navigator 45 of inquiry is carried out is installed in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1, when the application program 47 of collaborative Navigator 45 execution is installed in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1, activate the order of application program 47, or the like.
In the BDMV catalogue, the catalogue (BACKUP catalogue) of " BACKUP " by name is provided in addition, the catalogue (PLAYLIST catalogue) of " PLAYLIST " by name, the catalogue (CLIPINF catalogue) of " CLIPINF " by name, the catalogue (AUXDATA catalogue) of the catalogue (STREAM catalogue) of " STREAM " by name and " AUXDATA " by name.
In the BACKUP catalogue, the record file of duplicated record on CD 11 and the file and the data of data.
In the PLAYLIST catalogue, preserve play list file.As shown in FIG., each play list file is endowed by increasing the title that " .mpls " extension name obtains to the filename of being made up of 5 bit digital.
In the CLIPINF catalogue, preserve clip information file.As shown in FIG., each clip information file is endowed by increasing the title that " .clpi " extension name obtains to the filename of being made up of 5 bit digital.
In the STREAM catalogue, preserve montage AV stream file and sub-stream file.As shown in FIG., each stream file is endowed by increasing the title that " .m2ts " extension name obtains to the filename of being made up of 5 bit digital.
In the AUXDATA catalogue, preserve and not to be included in montage AV stream file or the sub-stream file, and, be independent of the data file that montage AV stream file or sub-stream file use by the data file that montage AV stream file or sub-stream file are quoted, or the like.In the example in Figure 15, in the AUXDATA catalogue, preserve the captions font file of " 11111.otf " by name and the audio of " sound.bdmv " by name.
In addition, identifier org_id, disc_id, and content_id (optionally) perhaps utilizes the pit physical record as not being recorded on the CD 11 by the secret electronic data of rewritings such as user.
Figure 16 is illustrated in the disk region of local storage 24, by the diagrammatic sketch of an example of the file system of the memory block of Navigator 45 management.As shown in Figure 16, the file system of local storage 24 also has bibliographic structure.
Under " root " catalogue of local storage 24, prepare at least one catalogue of " org_id " by name.Under " org_id " catalogue, prepare at least one catalogue of " disc_id " by name." org_id " and " disc_id " is used to constitute Virtual File System.All " disc_id " among each " org_id " under " root " catalogue that is included in local storage 24 are differed from one another, so that can distinguish mutually." disc_id " catalogue comprises the inventory file of being made up of one group of Manifest () fragment or a Manifest () fragment.The structure of other catalogue and file can arbitrarily be provided with by content originator.For example, this can be similar to the directory/file structure of utilizing the CD 11 that Figure 15 illustrates, perhaps as shown in Figure 16, is different from the directory/file structure of utilizing the CD 11 that Figure 15 illustrates fully.
For example, in Figure 16, under " disc_id " catalogue, except inventory file, be provided with catalogue, a plurality of files of " SubTitle " catalogue and " AUXDATA " catalogue and so on such as " MainMovie ".These catalogues can further comprise file or file.
The directory/file structure of the local storage 24 shown in Figure 16 is to hiding by the Navigator 45 of recording/reproducing apparatus 1 execution or to the user.
For example, in the Manifest () fragment of utilizing Figure 13 to describe, when in the src_file_name field, specifying pathname "/MainMovie/movie01/main.r1.jp.mp2 ", and when in the dst_file_name field, specifying pathname "/STREAM/01002.m2ts ", as shown in Figure 17, data downloaded is recorded in the local storage 24 in the movie01 catalogue in the MainMovie catalogue under the corresponding org_id and disc_id with filename main.r1.jp.mp2.In the Virtual File System in virtual disk, this is counted as having in the STREAM catalogue file of filename 01002.m2ts.
Like this, in the src_file_name field of the Manifest of downloaded files bag () fragment, content originator can be specified the pathname in the local storage 24, and in the dst_file_name field, can specify the pathname of the Virtual File System in the virtual disk.So, when setting is suitable for the pathname of the Virtual File System in the virtual disk in the dst_file_name field, content originator can arbitrarily be arranged on the file/bibliographic structure under the disc_id of the data of physical record in the local storage 24 of recording/reproducing apparatus 1, and can increase new catalogue or file in the zone under disc_id.
In addition, when downloading actual file, if the dst_file_name field in the Manifest () fragment is left empty, can not quote this document (that is, can not from the application program recording/reproducing apparatus 1, carried out or the existence of User Recognition this document) from the application program of recording/reproducing apparatus 1, carrying out so.That is, actual file is stored in the local storage 24, and this document is correctly validated in the file system of local storage.But, being left empty by making the dst_file_name field, this document is regarded as not being present in the Virtual File System, can hide this document to the application program of execution in recording/reproducing apparatus 1 or to the user.
Utilize this point, when the dst_file_name field that makes Manifest () fragment is left empty, download actual file.In future, have identical Manifest_id, and the Manifest () fragment with the predefined paths name in Virtual File System that writes downloaded again in the dst_file_name field, thereby rewritten Manifest () fragment.Therefore, when downloading new Manifest () fragment, this can be by the application program of carrying out in recording/reproducing apparatus 1 according to handling with the similar mode of situation of downloading actual file.
Like this, downloaded simultaneously by allowing a plurality of additional tracks, perhaps by utilizing predetermined recording media or analog to distribute a plurality of additional tracks simultaneously, and subsequently by only allowing wherein to write the dst_file_name field, so that the Manifest () fragment that application program can be discerned different additional tracks is downloaded and rewrites at predetermined instant, can be provided at different increasing constantly to the user and add track, and not need the service of the data of jumbo frequent downloads
In addition, make actual file system in CD 11 and the local storage 24 and the file system in the virtual disk synchronously the scheme of (binding) can be so-called static binding scheme or dynamic binding scheme.On the other hand, can define the new API (for example, update ()) that is used to upgrade Virtual File System, when this API is operated by the user or application program when clearly calling, Virtual File System can be updated.
Notice that static binding is suitable for being loaded into moment in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 at CD 11, perhaps, quote the actual file system in CD 11 and the local storage 24 in the moment of switching the playback title, and the directory/file structure of mapping Virtual File System; Dynamic binding was suitable in the moment of sending file I/O request, searched for essential file.
Preferably the directory/file structure of virtual disk is suitable for mating the directory/file structure of CD 11, as mentioned above.In many cases, the directory/file structure of CD 11 is that establishing criteria etc. is predetermined, immutable.Preferable is that the catalogue of the actual file system in the local storage 24 and the structure of file can arbitrarily be provided with by content originator.So, when the directory/file structure of virtual disk is suitable for directory/file structure setting according to unmodifiable CD 11, when the degree of freedom of the data of content originator distribution simultaneously is retained, can carry out can with described standard, playback such as the application format unanimity of CD 11 is handled, and this is desirable.
An example having represented the directory/file structure in the virtual disk among Figure 18.
Under " root " catalogue in the directory/file structure of the virtual disk shown in Figure 18, prepare the catalogue of " BDMV " by name.In this catalogue, preserve the file of " Info.bdmv " by name and the file of " MovieObjects.bdmv " by name.
The Info file comprises and broadcast is recorded on the CD 11 and local storage 24 in, and the program that is employed is considered as being recorded in the relevant information of menu of the content on the virtual disk.Recording/reproducing apparatus 1 shows the replayed menus screen according to the Info file on display unit, the replayed menus screen comprises that its content comprises, for example plays the whole contents that is considered as being recorded on the virtual disk, only plays particular chapter, reset repeatedly, show the project of initial menu or the like.When each project of selection, pending MovieObject can be arranged in the Info file.When the user when the replayed menus screen is selected a project, recording/reproducing apparatus 1 is carried out the order that is arranged on the MovieObject in the Info file.
The MovieObject file is the file that comprises MovieObject.MovieObject comprises that control is considered as being recorded in the order of the playback of the playlist on the virtual disk, that is, and and the order that Navigator 45 sends.For example, by selecting from be considered as being recorded in the MovieObject on the virtual disk and carry out a MovieObject, recording/reproducing apparatus 1 can be play the content that is considered as being recorded on the virtual disk.In addition, MovieObject comprises that collaboration application 47 handles needed various command.
In the BDMV catalogue, the catalogue (BACKUP catalogue) of " BACKUP " by name is provided in addition, the catalogue (PLAYLIST catalogue) of " PLAYLIST " by name, the catalogue (CLIPINF catalogue) of " CLIPINF " by name, the catalogue (AUXDATA catalogue) of the catalogue (STREAM catalogue) of " STREAM " by name and " AUXDATA " by name.
In the BACKUP catalogue, record is used to back up the file that is considered as being recorded on the virtual disk and the file and the data of data.
In the PLAYLIST catalogue, preserve play list file.Identical with the situation of CD 11, each play list file is endowed by increasing the title that " .mpls " extension name obtains to the filename of being made up of 5 bit digital.
In the CLIPINF catalogue, preserve clip information file.Identical with the situation of CD 11, each clip information file is endowed by increasing the title that " .clpi " extension name obtains to the filename of being made up of 5 bit digital.
In the STREAM catalogue, preserve montage AV stream file and sub-stream file.Identical with the situation of CD 11, each stream file is endowed by increasing the title that " .m2ts " extension name obtains to the filename of being made up of 5 bit digital.
In the AUXDATA catalogue, preserve and be not included in the montage AV stream file or sub-stream file that is considered as being recorded on the virtual disk, and, be independent of the data file that montage AV stream file or sub-stream file use by the data file that montage AV stream file or sub-stream file are quoted, or the like.
Notice that in offering user's menu screen, the information of indication file is the title of appointment in the display_name field normally.For example, utilize directory/file structure in the virtual disk that Figure 18 describes not to Navigator 45, other application program or user hide.According to the application program of in recording/reproducing apparatus 1, carrying out, present directory/file structure in the virtual disk without any problem to the user.
Utilize Figure 19 below, the definition of the content distribution of document form when the content originator distributing contents is described.File format during distributing contents can be to be the independent distribution of increment with the content file, perhaps as shown in Figure 19, comprises the File Format of metadata (Manifest ()).
Package_header () fragment in the attention archives and Package_Body () fragment can be used text representation by utilizing the SGML by the XML representative.
Notice that when content originator was the independent distributing contents of increment with the file, metadata (Manifest ()) was regarded as independently binary file or text.That is, when being expected at the bibliographic structure after increasing, must be to write suitable state among the Manifest () of relevance of increment distribution with the file.
Compression_type is the field of specifying the compressed format of the data among the Package_Body ().When specifying 0 in this field, the data among the Package_Body () are regarded as being unpacked format.
Encryption_type is the field of specifying the scrambling scheme (encipherment scheme) of the data among the Package_Body ().When specifying 0 in this field, the data among the Package_Body () are regarded as being non-scrambling (expressly) form.
Scrambling and the compression of noting the data among the Package_Body () are to handle in sequence according to 1. compression processing and 2. scramblings.
File_coutn is the field of specifying the sum of file to be filed.
Manifest_id is the field of specifying the identifier of this Manifest () fragment.
After downloading file data, Manifest () fragment can be that increment (is increment with a file data) is stored in the local storage 24 by the corresponding download file, perhaps Manifest () fragment can be merged into a file, and by utilizing manifest_id (identifier of Manifest ()) as keyword, it is discernible being configured to.
Organization_id (org_id) specifies the field that is used for making up at corresponding CD the identifier of Virtual File System.
Disc_id be specify be used to discern each CD 11 or with the field of the identifier of related every the content of identical org_id.That is, these archives be with the CD 11 of specifying disc_ by disc_id on the corresponding more new data of content.
Permission is the field of being specified License Info by content originator, and described License Info indicates whether to make the user visible or cannot see this character, whether allows the rewriting of file, or the like.Numerical value that can appointment in Permission is identical with those numerical value that utilize Figure 14 to illustrate.Information among the attention permission can be write in any file except that inventory file, perhaps is configured to an independently file.
Src_file_name is the field of pathname that indication should be recorded in the file in the local storage 24, with to utilize Figure 17 described the same.Suppose that file/directory name is according to ISO/IEC 646 standard codes.
Dst_file_name is the field of the pathname of the indication binding destination of file in virtual disk (Virtual File System), with to utilize Figure 17 described the same.Suppose that file/directory name is according to ISO/IEC 646 standard codes.
Attention can be specified identical title in src_file_name and dst_file_name.
In the time of under the file by the src_file_name appointment is present in the catalogue with different org_id, in voucher, write the information that is used to check the file access permission.Therefore, in the catalogue under a plurality of org_id in local storage 24, can share a content file.
File_size is to be increment with the byte, the field of the file size before the specified compression.
File_data is the field that file data is designated as byte sequence.
The data that are as utilizing the content distribution of document form that Figure 19 illustrates are downloaded, and in recording/reproducing apparatus 1, merge with data on the CD 11 that is recorded in installation, thereby constitute Virtual File System in the virtual disk.Therefore, utilize recording/reproducing apparatus 1 to play the user who is recorded in the content on the CD 11 and feel, perhaps the audio frequency of different language or show that captions are added to and be recorded on the CD 11 in the content and be updated as additional track.
When the content according to above-mentioned file format configuration will be updated, for example, in the Virtual File System that utilizes Figure 18 to illustrate, new data file is downloaded and binds, so that message file (Info.bdmv), movie object file (MovieObjects.bdmv), play list file (
* * * *.mpls), clip information file (
* * * *.clpi), stream file or AUX data file (
* * * *.m2ts,
* * * *.bdmv,
* * * *.otf) etc. be added or upgrade.In order to download and play these files with the relevance ground that is recorded on the mounted CD 11, carry out the interpolation of main path, the interpolation of subpath, or the like.
Notice that in increase or transaction file, when file in being kept at local storage 24 in advance and the new file that obtains had identical filename, if the character that writes allows file to rewrite, execution rewrote copy so in permission; If the character that writes does not allow file to rewrite, do not carry out the rewriting copy so in permission.In this case, even execute file replication processes not, filename also may be changed, and the executable file replication processes.On the other hand, when the filename of the file of new acquisition is not when being kept at the same file name of any file in the local storage 24 in advance, this document is newly added and is kept in the local storage 24.
Notice that the AV flow data except that the AV flow data with above-mentioned file structure can be recorded on the CD 11,, and be converted form and be recorded on another CD 11 by code converter 26 decodings and reproduction.But, about the AV flow data except that AV flow data, can not utilize the file that downloads in the local storage 24 to constitute Virtual File System with above-mentioned file structure.So when the AV flow data except that the AV flow data with above-mentioned file structure was recorded on the CD 11, the user of service recorder/reproducer 1 can not handle these data,, perhaps upgrade its part so that increase the file that is recorded on the CD 11.
In addition, needn't carry out the playlist editor in order to make recording/reproducing apparatus 1, can be in advance in source, data destination (content originator) packing essential file concerning increases/renewal, disk ground (that is being increment) file in download one by one with the data in the catalogue of indicating by Disc_id.
Like this, in recording/reproducing apparatus 1, have as shown in Figure 19 that the new data of structure is downloaded from server 3 through network 2, and be stored in the local storage 24 according to the pathname of indicating among the src_file_name that in metadata Manifest (), writes.Path in the Virtual File System is to be provided with according to the pathname of indicating among the dst_file_name that writes in Manifest ().Application program in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 (for example, the Navigator 45 of resetting and handling) being suitable for can be according to Virtual File System, promptly, data that are recorded on the CD 11 and the data that are recorded in the local storage 24 are handled in the path of indicating in dst_file_name, and do not distinguish the two.
Promptly, in recording/reproducing apparatus 1, when receiving the instruction (download instruction) that increases data, corresponding inventory file (can be whole inventory files or some inventory files) is sent to server 3 through network 2, obtains the tabulation of the current content item that can increase from server 3.Application program presents the tabulation of the content item that can increase to the user, and the user selects to want downloaded contents from the tabulation that presents.
When the user selects to want downloaded contents, can carry out application program (for example, this application program can be and can carry out the identical or different application program of application program that the data increase is handled or data reproduction is handled) beginning data download from the processing of server 3 data download.
When finishing download, utilize the Navigator 45 of managing file system, the downloaded files package is installed on the Virtual File System, utilize static binding, dynamic binding or the like, make local file system and Virtual File System synchronous.
Below, flow chart with reference to figure 20-Figure 23, under the situation of the Navigator of explanation in executive logging/reproducer 1, by obtain file recently from the outside, this document is kept in the local storage 24, and the constructing virtual file system, reproduce information that is recorded on the CD 11 and the required processing of information that is kept in the local storage 24.
At first, with reference to the flow chart among Figure 20, illustrate that the increase and the renewal of file are handled one by one.
In step S1, the operation input acquiring unit 61 of the Navigator of being carried out by controller 21 45 is according to from operation input unit 29 signal supplied, determine whether to receive that from the user beginning the increase of file one by one handles, that is, increase is included in the order of the processing of a file in the catalogue of indicating by predetermined disc_id.When determining not receive that the beginning file increases the order of handling in step S1, the processing among the repeating step S1 is till determining to receive the order of beginning file enhancement process.
When in step S1, determining to receive that the beginning file increases the order of handling, in step S2, local storage directory management unit 64 control data acquiring units 63 are through internet interface 25 and network 2 access servers 3, and the information of the current state of transmission indication Virtual File System, such as the Manifest_id of corresponding Manifest () fragment.
In step S3, data capture unit 63 control internet interfaces 25 determine whether through network 2, receive the information corresponding with the tabulation of the file that can be downloaded from server 3.
When in step S3, determining not receive the information corresponding with the tabulation of the file that can be downloaded, in step S4, menu screen indicative control unit 62 is controlled, and increases the event notice user's who handles error message to show not finishing file, and stops this processing.
When in step S3, determining to have received the information corresponding with the tabulation of the file that can be downloaded, in step S5, data capture unit 63 handles are from server 3 transmissions and by the internet interface 25 information providing menu screen indicative control units 62 corresponding with the tabulation of the file that can be downloaded that receive.Menu screen indicative control unit 62 shows on display unit and is suitable for making the user can select the menu screen of required file from the tabulation of the file that can be downloaded.
At step S6, operation input acquiring unit 61 determines whether the user has operated the processing of being undertaken by menu screen indicative control unit 62, and the button of the menu screen that control shows, button or the like are with the project of selecting to increase.When the project of determining not have selection to increase at step S6, the processing among the repeating step S6 is till determining the project of having selected to increase.
When having determined to select the project that will increase in step S6, in step S7, operation input acquiring unit 61 offers data capture unit 63 to the information of the update content that the indication user selects.Data capture unit 63 control internet interfaces 25 send the information of indication institute demand file to server 3, and ask the file of download user selection.
In step S8, data capture unit 63 control internet interfaces 25 are downloaded the play list file that is prepared to a file in download by server 3, clip information file, montage AV stream file, audio file, text subtitle stream files, font file etc., and notice local storage directory management unit 64 these files are downloaded.
In step S9, local storage directory management unit 64 determines according to org_id and disc_id among the Manifest () that is included in file in download whether these catalogues of discerning have been present in the local storage 24.When there is D in corresponding catalogue, in this catalogue, launch the data downloaded file.When corresponding catalogue does not exist, in local storage 24, create new directory, and launch the data downloaded file by org_id and disc_id appointment.
At step S10, carry out the binding processing that the back utilizes Figure 21 to illustrate, and stop this processing.
By this processing, can be kept in the local storage 24, and be regarded as being recorded in the transaction file of the content on the CD 11 from server 3 down loading updating files.
Promptly, by this processing, can constitute Virtual File System, described Virtual File System makes purchaser record have the user of the CD of content such as film can obtain not to be recorded in advance the required file of captions of certain language of demonstration on the CD 11, perhaps check the additional required file of track, and a file that obtains is kept in the local storage 24, in addition, described Virtual File System makes the Navigator 45 that carrying out resets handles can handle data that are recorded on the CD 11 and the data that are kept in the local storage 24, and do not distinguish the two, and can be to the physical storage of user or Navigator 45 hiding datas.
Can pay or the download of aforesaid transaction file is carried out in the gratis.
Below with reference to the flow chart among Figure 21, the binding processing of carrying out among the step S20 in Figure 20 is described.
In step S21, extract corresponding disc_id catalogue in the data download group of local storage directory management unit 64 from be recorded in local storage 24, and the disc_id catalogue is offered file system merging processing unit 66.
At step S22, file system merges src_file_name and the dst_file_name in the processing unit 66 reference list files.
In step S23, file system merges src_file_name and the dst_file_name of processing unit 66 according to reference in step S22, binding local file system and Virtual File System.
Specifically, specify " pathname " in the so-called path of expression in src_file_name, it is to specify this document will be recorded in the information of the position in the bibliographic structure uniquely in the file system of local storage 24.In dst_file_name, specify " pathname " in the so-called path of expression, it is to indicate this document will be recorded in the information of the position in the bibliographic structure uniquely in the binding destination in the actual virtual disk that is kept at the file in the local storage 24.
For example, in the Manifest () fragment of utilizing Figure 13 to describe, when in src_file_name, specifying pathname "/MainMovie/movie01/main.r1.jp.mp2 ", and when in dst_file_name, specifying pathname "/STREAM/01002.m2ts ", data download is recorded in the local storage 24, with to utilize Figure 17 described the same, in the movie01 file in the MainMovie file of filename main.r1.jp.mp2 under corresponding org_id and disc_id.In the Virtual File System in virtual disk, file system merges processing unit 66 these data of binding, so that be regarded as having the file of the filename 01002.m2ts in the STREAM catalogue.
Content originator can be specified the pathname in the local storage 24 in the src_file_name field of the Manifest of download file () fragment, can specify in the pathname in the Virtual File System in the virtual disk in the dst_file_name field.So, when the pathname of the Virtual File System in being suitable for virtual disk (being suitable for the file system of CD 11) is set in the dst_file_name field, content originator can arbitrarily be arranged on the file/bibliographic structure under the disc_id of the data in the local storage 24 of physical record in recording/reproducing apparatus 1, and can increase new catalogue or file to the zone under the disc_id.
Below with reference to the flow chart among Figure 22, illustrate that the increase and the renewal of disk are handled one by one.
At step S41, operation input acquiring unit 61 bases of the Navigator 45 that controller 21 is carried out are from operation input unit 29 signal supplied, determine whether to receive that from the user beginning the increase of disk one by one handles, that is, in the order that below the disc_id of the data of physical record in local storage 24, increases the processing of a file.When determining not receive that the beginning file increases the order of handling in step S41, the processing among the repeating step S41 is till determining to receive that the beginning file increases the order of handling.
When in step S41, having determined to receive that the beginning file increases the order of handling, in step S42, the local storage directory management unit 64 control data acquiring units 63 of controller 21 are through internet interface 25 and network 2 access servers 3, and the information of the current state of transmission indication Virtual File System, such as the Manifest_id of all the Manifest () fragments in the inventory file that is included under the corresponding disc_id.
At step S43, data capture unit 63 control internet interfaces 25 determine whether to have received and the corresponding information of tabulation of disk downloaded files one by one from server 2 through network 2.
When in step S43, determining not receive the information corresponding with the tabulation of disk downloaded files one by one, in step S44, menu screen indicative control unit 62 is controlled, thereby show and notify user's error message the fact that can not carry out file increase processing, and stop this processing.
When in step S43, determining to have received the information corresponding with tabulation that can downloaded files, in step S45,63 of data capture units send from server 3, and received by internet interface 25, with the corresponding information providing menu screen indicative control unit 62 of tabulation of disk downloaded files one by one.Menu screen indicative control unit 62 shows on display unit and is suitable for making the user can select the menu screen of required file from the tabulation of the file that can be downloaded.
At step S46, operation input acquiring unit 61 determines whether the user has operated the processing of being undertaken by menu screen indicative control unit 62, and the button of the menu screen that control shows, button or the like are with the project of selecting to increase.When the project of determining not have selection to increase in step S46, the processing among the repeating step S46 is till determining the project of having selected to increase.
When having determined to select the project that will increase in step S46, in step S47, operation input acquiring unit 61 offers data capture unit 63 to the information of the update content that the indication user selects.Data capture unit 63 control internet interfaces 25 send the information of indicating the file of being asked to server 3, and ask the file of disk ground download user selection one by one.
At step S48, data capture unit 63 control internet interfaces 25 Download Server 3 are with the file group of the disk one by one of the form preparation of file in download, and notice local storage directory management unit 64, downloaded the file group of disk one by one.
In step S49, local storage directory management unit 64 produces the catalogue by these ID identifications, and launches the data download of disk one by one according to org_id and disc_id among the Manifest () that is included in file in download in local storage 24.
In step 50, carry out the binding that utilizes Figure 21 to describe and handle, and stop this processing.
By this processing, disk ground is recorded in the local storage 24 from server 3 down loading updating files one by one, and is considered as being recorded in the transaction file of the content on the CD 11.
Promptly, by this processing, can constitute Virtual File System, described Virtual File System makes purchaser record have the user of the CD of content such as film can obtain not to be recorded in advance the required file of captions of certain language of demonstration on the CD 11, perhaps check the additional required file of track, and a file that obtains is kept in the local storage 24, in addition, described Virtual File System makes the Navigator of carry out to reset handling etc. 45 can handle the data that are recorded on the CD 11 and is kept at data in the local storage 24, and do not distinguish the two, and can be to the physical storage of user or Navigator 45 hiding datas.
In addition, situation about downloading with file ground one by one is the same, can pay or this download of the transaction file of disk is one by one carried out in the gratis.
In addition, the processing under the situation of being sent the order of file download one by one by the user has been described among Figure 20, the processing under the situation of being sent the order of disk download one by one by the user has been described among Figure 22.On the other hand, needless to say, can allow the user under the situation of the download of not distinguishing file one by one and the download of disk one by one, send the instruction of beginning file in download.That is, depend on from the form of server 3 data downloaded be one by one file or disk one by one, allow to change local storage directory management unit 64 launches data download in local storage 24 method.
The only processing of being carried out by Navigator 45, such as the processing of the updated data file of increase described above and update content, handling with binding is processing to carrying out with the related data file of identical disc_id in essence.In other words, these processing are conduct processing execution related with the CD of installing.
That is, as mentioned above, by carrying out Navigator 45, be downloaded corresponding to the more new data of CD 11, the more new data of download is stored in the local storage 24 in the path by the org_id of correspondence and disc_id definition.Therefore, the file playback process is to carry out under the situation by the memory block of corresponding org_id and disc_id definition in not distinguishing CD 11 and local storage 24.In addition, in essence, even when identical CD 11 is loaded in the reproducer different with the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 that can carry out Navigator 45, this reproducer also is configured to carry out similar processing.When different CDs is loaded in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1,, carry out binding processing to the memory block that defines by different disc_id in the local storage 24 by the different navigation program of playing this CD.
On the contrary, when application program 47 was installed in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1, Navigator 45 and application program 47 can be carried out by collaborative, and be related with a plurality of CD 11 in addition, can carry out a series of processing.
Below with reference to the flow chart among Figure 23, illustrating resets handles and the processing of file system formation.
In step S141, controller 21 determines whether to have installed CD 11.When determining not fixing disc 11 in step S141, the processing among the repeating step S141 is till determining that CD 11 has been installed.
When determining CD 11 has been installed in step S141, in step S142, controller 21 is carried out Navigator 45.
In step S143, the CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65 of Navigator 45 is read org_id and disc_id from CD 11, and supply with local storage directory management unit 64 to what read with disc_id, file system merges processing unit 66 and application program associated treatment control unit 71.
At step S144, carry out the associated treatment that the back utilizes Figure 25 to illustrate.
At step S145, the playback control unit 67 of Navigator 45 is operated input according to the user who supplies with from operation input acquiring unit 61, determines whether to receive from the user operation input of the order of sending play content.When in step S145, determining not receive the operation input of the order of sending play content, handle entering the step S150 that illustrates later.
When in step S145, having determined to receive the operation input of the order of sending play content, operation input unit 61 is supplied with CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65 to the signal of operating input corresponding to the user, and CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65 is exported to local storage directory management unit 64 to the org_id and the disc_id that read from CD 11.Therefore in step S146, carry out the binding that utilizes Figure 21 to illustrate and handle.
At step S147, playback control unit 67 control local storage directory management unit 64 and CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65 obtain to be appointed as by Navigator the playlist and the sub-playitems playitem of playback segment, read stream file (the AV file that obtained playlist and sub-playitems playitem are quoted, audio file, text subtitle file or the like), and stream file supply with code converter 26.Here, by utilizing clip information, the time stamp of being indicated by playlist and sub-playitems playitem is converted into the address, is visited AV stream etc.
At step S148, the content that playback control unit 67 control code converters 26 are play by the playitems playitem appointment.
At step S149, operation input acquiring unit 61 determines whether to receive the operation input of sending the order of switching playback title (content that will play).When in step S149, determining not receive the operation input of sending the order that changes the playback title, handle entering the step S150 that illustrates later.
When in step S149, having determined to receive the operation input of the order that changes the playback title, 61 of operation input acquiring units are operated the corresponding signal of input with the user and are offered CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65, and CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65 is exported to local storage directory management unit 64 to the org_id and the disc_id that read from CD 11.Therefore, handle and return step S146, the processing after the repeating step S146.
When in step S145, determining not receive the operation input of the order of sending play content, perhaps when in step S149, determining not receive the operation input of sending the order that changes the playback title, in step S150, operation input acquiring unit 61 is determined the order that whether user sends increases file.
When in step S150, having determined to send the order of increase file, in step S151, data capture unit 63, execution such as local storage directory management unit 64 have utilized the processing of the increase file of Figure 20 and Figure 22 explanation.
At step S152, carry out the binding that utilizes Figure 21 to describe and handle.
When determining not send the order that increases file in step 150, perhaps after the processing in end step S152, in step S153, operation input acquiring unit 61 has determined whether to send the order of upgrading Virtual File System.
When in step S153, having determined to send the order of renewal Virtual File System, call to upgrading the API (for example update ()) that Virtual File System defines, in step S154, carry out the binding that utilizes Figure 21 to illustrate and handle.
When in step S153, determining not send the order of upgrading Virtual File System, perhaps after the processing in end step S154, in step S155, operation input acquiring unit 61 has determined whether to send the order of the processing that stops recording/reproducing apparatus 1 and carry out (for example, the termination of Navigator 45 or close the power supply of recording/reproducing apparatus 1).
When in step S155, determining not send the order of the processing that stops recording/reproducing apparatus 1 execution, handle and return step S144, and the processing after the repeating step S144.When in step S155, having determined to send the order of the processing that stops recording/reproducing apparatus 1 execution, termination.
By this processing, be recorded in the data on the CD 11 in advance and download, and the data that are kept in the local storage 24 are bound in predetermined timing from server 3, thus the formation Virtual File System, according to this Virtual File System play content.
Here note, explanation be to increase at execute file to bind after handling.Needless to say, also can after handling, the execute file deletion bind.
In addition, owing in step S143, read org_id and disc_id, and offer application program associated treatment control unit 71 from CD, therefore, can executive utility 47 and the associated treatment of corresponding Navigator 45 at step S144 middle controller 21.
In addition, what illustrate here is before binding processing and content play processing, carries out the associated treatment that the back utilizes Figure 25 to describe.Needless to say, described associated treatment is carried out in any timing that can be in the implementation of Navigator 45.That is, can be according to the description of Navigator 45, carry out the associated treatment that the back utilizes Figure 25 to illustrate in the timing that the founder or the supplier of Navigator 45 wishes.
In addition, by in internal memory 23, launching to be kept at the application program 47 and the Navigator 45 that is recorded on the CD 11 in the local storage 24, and run application 47 and Navigator 45 mutually synergistically, the operation that controller 21 can controlling recording/reproducer 1.
Referring to Figure 24, working in coordination with between application program 47 and the Navigator 45 is described.
As mentioned above, controller 21 can be carried out because virtual machine, and such as the installation of JAVA (registered trade mark), application program that can operation on multi-platform perhaps is merely able to the application program of moving in the execution environment of controller 21.But, it is limited to be merely able to the function that provided by the built-in application program in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1.
In addition, in recording/reproducing apparatus 1, as mentioned above, Virtual File System is made of Navigator 45, thereby might handle the respective data storage district in CD 11 and the local storage 24 as a zone.
So, when in controller 21, preparing JAVA (registered trade mark) operating environment, and when Navigator 45 usefulness JAVA (registered trade mark) write, and when being suitable on JVM 44, to move, as above utilize Fig. 6 described (in other words, when Navigator 45 and application program 47 are suitable for moving in public execution environment), except the memory block of the file system that will utilize Navigator 45 binding, by in local storage 24 or internal memory 23, preparing to be used to preserve the zone of the Another Application program 47 of operation on JVM 44 similarly, might utilize IXC (communicating by letter between Xlet) to move Navigator 45 and application program 47 mutually synergistically.
For example, when Navigator 45 and application program 47 are not because the installation of virtual machine, and during the application program that can on multi-platform, move, owing to can provide the application program 47 of the peculiar function of recording/reproducing apparatus 1 to provide according to each manufacturer, can play the software platform design of the reproducer of CD 11, therefore in order to move Navigator 45 and application program 47 mutually synergistically, must prepare Navigator 45 with the application program of on each software platform, moving 47 relatedly.
In other words, when Navigator 45 and application program 47 are because the installation of virtual machine, and during the application program that can on multi-platform, move, even when each manufacturer provides, the software platform of reproducer that can play CD 11 is inequality, also can easily provide from being recorded in the Navigator 45 on the CD 11, activation can provide the API of application program 47 of the exclusive function of recording/reproducing apparatus 1.
Promptly, (they are because the installation of virtual machine by Navigator 45 and application program 47 being configured to JAVA (registered trade mark) Xlet, application program that then can operation on multi-platform), by utilizing IXC to carry out communication between Navigator 45 and the application program 47, also can carry out associated treatment.In addition, by using independently API or JNI (JAVA (registered trade mark) local interface), application program 47 can be visited and be comprised and embedding in advance in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1, handling resetting and the function group 54 and the built-in application program 49 of nonessential function.
JNI is from JAVA (registered trade mark) program, use (for example utilizes another language, C language or C Plus Plus) API of program of this machine code of exploitation, promptly, from utilizing the program of JAVA (registered trade mark) exploitation, use the API of the program (can former state is carried out on particular platform program) of this machine code that utilizes another language development.
In addition, when (promptly as the application program 47 of the independent function of recording/reproducing apparatus 1, be different from Navigator 45, application program 47 does not need in fact to be installed in all devices that can play CD 11) when being configured to JAVA (registered trade mark) Xlet, can dispose application environment more flexibly.
Notice that in Navigator 45, the file of inventory file management is by the file in the Virtual File System of org_id and disc_id definition in essence.So,, voucher must be set, in inventory file so that application program 47 can optionally be visited the file by predetermined inventory file management for application program 47 and Navigator 45 collaborative execution processing.
Specifically, for example, when having play the film of complete series, can allow to download additional track; When having play, can allow the free download recreation by the A of company sale or predetermined number that provides or more CD 11.Carry out when handling when the Navigator of carrying out in by the Virtual File System corresponding to the org_id of a plurality of CDs 11 and disc_id definition 45 and application program 47 are collaborative, must be arranged on the voucher in each corresponding inventory file, to allow this application program 47 of visit.
Below, with reference to the flow chart among Figure 25, the Navigator 45 carried out among the step S144 in Figure 23 and the associated treatment of application program 47 are described.
At step S181, application program associated treatment control unit 71 determines whether to work in coordination with to carry out with it oneself (that is, Navigator 45) corresponding application program 47 and handles.When determining that in step S181 collaborative corresponding application program 47 is carried out processing, handle the step S144 that returns among Figure 23, and enter step S145.
When determining that in step S181 will work in coordination with corresponding application program 47 carries out processing, at step S182, application program associated treatment control unit 71 determines whether recording/reproducing apparatus 1 can executive utilities 47.
Specifically, for example, when detected application program 47 will be controlled the processing of execution of time recording, unless recording/reproducing apparatus 1 has the image writing function, perhaps be connected with the external image recording equipment, and be in recording/reproducing apparatus 1 and can control the state that the time recording of this image recorder is handled, otherwise recording/reproducing apparatus 1 can not be carried out detected application program 47.On the other hand, when detected application program 47 will utilize picture-in-picture to show the processing of the playback of controlling additional track, carry out the function that picture-in-picture shows unless recording/reproducing apparatus 1 has, otherwise recording/reproducing apparatus 1 can not be carried out detected application program 47.On the other hand, when detected application program 47 is carried out utilization time voice, when director and performing artist's the processing of comment is reset in control, play inferior voice functions unless recording/reproducing apparatus 1 has, otherwise recording/reproducing apparatus 1 can not be carried out detected application program 47.
When in step S182, determining to carry out detected application program 47, handle the step S144 that returns in the section 23, and enter step S145.
When in step S182, determining to carry out detected application program 47, in step S183, carry out the application call that the back utilizes Figure 26 to illustrate and handle.
At step S184, during application program associated treatment control unit 71 determined that the application call in step S183 is handled, whether calling of the application program 47 of detection be successful.When determining that in step S184 calling of detected application program 47 is unsuccessful, handle the step S144 that returns among Figure 23, and enter step S145.
When determining the calling successfully of detected application program 47 in step 184, in step 185, the execution of it oneself (that is Navigator) and corresponding application program 47 is controlled in 71 controls of application program associated treatment control unit mutually synergistically.Processing is returned the step S144 among Figure 23 and is entered step S145.
By this processing, detect application program 47, and whether definite processing is executable corresponding to Navigator 45.When processing is executable, and calls and handle when being executed correctly, Navigator 45 and corresponding application program 47 are carried out by collaborative.
Below, with reference to the flow chart among Figure 26, the application call processing that the step S183 in Figure 25 carries out is described.
At step S211, IXC control unit 72 produces JAVA (registered trade mark) .rmi.Remote object.
When carrying out when communicating by letter between Xlet, that is, in the time will using IXC,, be suitable for registration by using the IxcRegistry class, search and use have the object of JAVA (registered trade mark) .rmi.Remote interface.
At step S212, the application program that IXC control unit 72 utilizes the IxcRegistry search to call, and Search Results notification application associated treatment control unit 71.
At step S213, application program associated treatment control unit 71 determines whether to find the application program 47 that will call.
When determining to find the application program that will call in step S213, in step S214, application program associated treatment control unit 71 calls corresponding application program 47.Promptly, in the memory block of local storage 24, according to org_id that supplies with among the step S143 in Figure 23 and disc_id, can be from being used for preserving in second memory block of the Another Application program 47 of JVM 44 operations, detection corresponding to it oneself (promptly, Navigator 45) application program 47, described second memory block or with the different memory block, first memory block of preserving the file system that will be bound by Navigator 45, or the memory block of internal memory 23, detected application program 47 is unfolded and carries out in internal memory 23.After the processing in end step S214, handle the step S183 that returns among Figure 25, and enter step S184.
When in step S213, determining not find the application program that to call, at step S215, application program associated treatment control unit 71 execute exceptions are handled, promptly, determine among the step S184 in Figure 25 that calling of application program is unsuccessful, the step S183 among Figure 25 is returned in processing, and enters step S184.
By this processing, the corresponding application program 47 that can work in coordination with Navigator 45 execution processing is called.
Now, when the CD 11 that records Navigator 45 is loaded into wherein in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 of set up applications 47 in advance, perhaps when the CD 11 of the Navigator 45 of the renewal of activation record in local storage 24 is loaded into wherein in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 of set up applications 47 in advance, carry out the Navigator 45 carried out among the step S185 in Figure 25 and the processing of application program 47.
For example, can download be recorded in CD 11 on the relevant recreation of content, the URL that perhaps can buy the website of the commodity relevant with described content is recorded in the Navigator 45 that is recorded on the CD 11.When CD 11 is loaded in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1, and when controller 21 is carried out Navigator 45, determine in recording/reproducing apparatus 1, whether installed and be used for the application program 47 that collaborative Navigator 45 is carried out the processing of visit predetermined website, perhaps can work in coordination with as built-in application program 49 and be installed in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 application program 47 that the built-in application program 49-1 execution of control web function of browse (so-called web browser) is handled.When determining corresponding application program 47 not to be installed, Navigator 45 is carried out common playback processing etc.When determining corresponding application program 47 has been installed, Navigator 45 activates the application program 47 that is used to carry out the processing of visiting predetermined website, and utilizes Xlet to carry out inter-application communication.
In recording/reproducing apparatus 1, can preserve application program 47 in advance, can perhaps can utilize internet interface 25 to download and set up applications 47 from book server by detachable media 28 set up applications 47 of the driver 27 of packing into through network 2.In addition, when recording/reproducing apparatus 1 has the function of using cablecast or ground or satellite broadcast service, can obtain together with the data of scheduled program and set up applications 47.
When the supplier of CD 11 and the supplier of recording/reproducing apparatus 1 cooperate in advance, respectively when the Navigator 45 of design pairing operation and application program 47, have only when CD 11 is loaded in the specific recording/reproducing apparatus 1, can carry out being designed to match the Navigator 45 of operation and the co-operation of application program 47.
For example, except recording/reproducing apparatus 1, the reproducer that can install and play CD 11 etc. is provided by a plurality of manufacturers.The content that is recorded on the CD 11 can be by the broadcasts such as any reproducer that can carry out Navigator 45.On the contrary, have only when utilizing the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 that specific application program 47 wherein is installed to play corresponding CD 11, just can be visited and to buy the limited commodity relevant with content.Have only when utilizing recording/reproducing apparatus 1 to play the film of complete series, can download additional track.Have only when utilizing recording/reproducing apparatus 1 to play by the A of company sale or predetermined number that provides or more CD 11, can the free download recreation.
In addition in some cases, the version of built-in application program 49 is updated.Because situation is normally such, promptly, these built-in application programs 49 are used in a plurality of messaging devices etc. usually, and the version that presupposes built-in application program 49 with situation about being updated under the design these built-in application programs 49, therefore normally under situation about not changing with the interface of OS and other application program, upgrade the version of built-in application program 49.So even when the version of built-in application program 49 is updated, if be not changed with the interface of application program 47, the inter-application communication function with application program 47 is retained so.That is, even when the version of the built-in application program 49 that uses under the situation of Navigator 45 collaboration applications 47 operations is updated, also can under the situation that does not change Navigator 45 and application program 47, carries out similarly and handle.
Like this, application program 47 is kept on the CD 11 reproduction, perhaps relatedly with CD 11 is stored in that requisite Navigator 45 activates the inner content-data, and Navigator 45 and application program 47 are suitable for being carried out by collaborative.Therefore, with single application program by remote control, and the situation difference that only in premise equipment, is performed, specifically, be configured to by utilizing various recording mediums or wired or wireless communication with premise equipment, supply with and directly control the control program that is included in the premise equipment, perhaps supply with the order that has been installed in the control program in the premise equipment, the situation difference of Long-distance Control, can have more than and device association, and provide the exclusive service of equipment with CD 11 relatedly, observe simultaneously and be the standard that makes various reproducers can play the content related to define the agreement of this standard (perhaps according to) with CD 11.
But, when concerning spectators, the Navigator 45 and the application program 47 of pairing operation mainly only are for interesting, utilize the reproducer except that recording/reproducing apparatus 1 to watch the chance of CD 11 to be reduced so.This is worthless for the content provider.So Additional Services like the Easter egg of the service that CD 11 provides are preferably followed in the service that the Navigator 45 of pairing operation and application program 47 provide.
Therefore, the supplier of recording/reproducing apparatus 1 can distinguish recording/reproducing apparatus 1 and can play other reproducer of CD 1 or the like.In addition, the supplier of CD 11 can obtain the discount (perhaps corresponding therewith something) of provider of the recording/reproducing apparatus 1 of the licensed service that the manufacturer that is different from other reproducer etc. is provided.
Like this, even the supplier of the supplier of CD 11 and recording/reproducing apparatus 1 signs a contract separately, when the Navigator 45 of mutual synthetic operation and application program 47 are provided, can provide independent service to the user.So, for example, by any manufacturer of independent contact (supplier of recording/reproducing apparatus 1), the supplier of CD 11 can have an opportunity to provide its content to be difficult to the service that requires to the manufacturer of all reproducers to the user, such as the guiding to the place of the commodity of selling this supplier.
Below with reference to Figure 27-32, an object lesson of the processing of the Navigator 45 carried out among the step S185 in Figure 25 and application program 47 is described.
At first, with reference to the flow chart among Figure 27, the collaborative of the application program 47 handled by the Navigator 45 carried out and control content information registering is described in recording/reproducing apparatus 1, example is handled in first of execution.
The application program 47 (Xlet) that the control content information registering is handled is stored in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1, and application program 47 is in executable state.The application program 47 that the control content information registering is handled is activated by Navigator 45 (Xlet), and (for example carry out and be controlled to by the relevant content title title of the content of Navigator 45 broadcasts and additional information, performing artist and director names, artist name, perhaps the works date and the time of delivering), and the view data of content, register to the processing in the zone in the local storage 24 that is not subjected to Navigator 45 management such as the big envelope photo.In this case, application program 47 activates the database software (can be that Xlet or the JNI that can utilize except that JAVA (registered trade mark) carry out the software of inter-application communication) of the storage of control data in local storage 24, described database software is the built-in application program 49 in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1, communicate by letter between executive utility, and control its processing.
In addition, when certain condition is satisfied, for example when having collected all films in the same train, (handles by the playback that utilizes identical recording/reproducing apparatus 1 to carry out movie contents, calculate the number of the content item of collecting; Hereinafter too), when having collected a certain artistical predetermined number or more video clipping, perhaps when the predetermined number that provided by content originator or more contents project have been provided, application program 47 is carried out the processing of control to the visit of the predetermined website that can download additional content.In this case, application program 47 activates web browser (can be that Xlet or the JNI that can utilize except that JAVA (registered trade mark) carry out the software of inter-application communication), described web browser is the built-in application program 49 in the recording/reproducing apparatus 1, carry out inter-application communication, and control its processing.
At step S241, application program associated treatment control unit 71 (Navigator 45) control CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65 or 64 search of local storage directory management unit corresponding to the content title title in the path in the local storage 24 of CD 11 and additional information (for example are kept at, indication performing artist and the director names of using in Shuo Ming the processing in the back, artist name, perhaps deliver the date and the time of these works, and the information of the series under the content).Note, when content title title and additional information according to the record of the predetermined format such as metadata or when preserving, CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65 or local storage directory management unit 64 are optionally from the information of the record or the extracting data correspondence of preserving.
At step S242, application program associated treatment control unit 71 control CD-disc catalogs administrative units 65 or local storage directory management unit 64 searching record are on CD 11 or be kept at corresponding to the content big envelope data in the path in the local storage 24 of CD 11.Notice that when content big envelope data were not recorded or preserve according to predetermined format such as metadata, CD-disc catalogs administrative unit 65 or local storage directory administrative unit 64 were optionally from the view data of the record or the extracting data correspondence of preserving.
In step S243, application program associated treatment control unit 71 is the content title title by search of the processing among step S241 and the step S242 or extraction, and additional information and big envelope data are supplied with IXC control unit 72.IXC control unit 72 is the content title title, and additional information and big envelope data are issued application program 47, specifically, that is, binds with IxcRegistry.
At step S244, the application program 47 that the control content information registering is handled is from Navigator 45 received content titles, and additional information and big envelope data specifically, that is, search IxcRegistry.
