Decoder 34_1 is according to the decodes commands (control of CPU42) from the CPU42 input, receive the reproduction data ENC that reads from input store 32 as input by PCI bridger 30, according to mpeg system this data of decoding, and the result is written among the reproduction of storage 36_1.Specifically, decoder 34_1 under the control of CPU42, the I picture data that decoding is read from input store 32 and need not be with reference to the decoded result of other picture data.In addition, decoder 34_1 is under the control of CPU42, by with reference to aspect the time, be in the past and decoded result has been stored in the I among the corresponding reproduction of storage 36_1 or the decoded result of P picture data, the P picture data that decoding is read from input store 32.
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 illustrate the decoding of being carried out by decoder 34_1,34_2 and 34_3, memory state and product and the output of reproduction of storage 36_1 to 363 when forward direction reproduces reproduction data ENC with 1X speed.In Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and the respective drawings that illustrates later, the memory bank zone " 0 " to " 7 " that is illustrated as interrelating with decoder 34_1 is the memory bank zone that defines in reproduction of storage 36_1, the memory bank zone " 0 " to " 7 " that is illustrated as interrelating with decoder 34_2 is the memory bank zone that defines in reproduction of storage 36_2, and the memory bank zone " 0 " to " 7 " that is illustrated as interrelating with decoder 34_3 is the memory bank zone of definition in reproduction of storage 363.In addition, " out0 ", " out1 " and " out2 " expression output to the decoded result of selector 38 from decoder 34_1,34_2 and 34_3.In addition, bottommost " reproducing and output " illustrates reproduction and output from selector 38.In addition, in Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and the respective drawings that illustrates later, be illustrated as representing the decoding undertaken by decoder 34_1,34_2 and 34_3 by the part that thick line surrounds.
As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, according to from the decodes commands of CPU42, along under the situation of the reproduction direction successively reproducing of CPU42 appointment, decoder 34_1 keeps not being used further in reproduction of storage 36_1 reproducing and the storage of the decoded result of the I that exports and P picture data.For example, though decoder 34_1 after the reproduction of finishing GOP (N-1) and output, also keep I2, P5, P8, P11, P14, *The decoded result of I2.For this reason, as described below, when the rapid change order occurring, by use keeping being stored in the decoded result among the reproduction of storage 36_1, can be just after rapid change, in the processing time that is used for a picture, carry out and reproduce and export.That is to say that when the rapid change order occurring, decoder 34_1 can use before this rapid change order, be stored in I among the reproduction of storage 36_1 already and the decoded result of P picture data is used for reproducing and output.Specifically, for I and P picture data, decoder 34_1 according to from the decodes commands of CPU42, after the rapid change order, read and reproduce and export the I that is stored in already among the reproduction of storage 36_1 and the decoded result of P picture data.In addition, for the B picture data, decoder 34_1 is according to from the decodes commands of CPU42, carry out decoding with reference to being stored in the I of anchor picture data among the reproduction of storage 36_1, that form this B picture data and the decoded result of P picture data already the rapid change order after, and according to from the display command reproduction of CPU42 with export this decoded result.
In addition, as shown in Figure 3, decoder 34_1 is according to from the decodes commands of CPU42, at I and the P picture data of decoding in just decoded GOP before the B picture data, and decoded result is written among the reproduction of storage 36_1.
Decoder 34_2 has the configuration identical with decoder 34_1 with 34_3.They are according to the MPEG scheme decoding view data via 30 inputs of PCI bridger, and the result is written among their corresponding reproduction of storage 36_2 and the 36_3.
Below, explanation is written to method among reproduction of storage 36_1,36_2 and the 36_3 by decoder 34_1,34_2 and 34_3 with decoded result.As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, reproduction of storage 36_1,36_2 and 36_3 each all have eight memory bank zones " 0 " and arrive " 7 ".In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, in the middle of eight memory bank zones that provide at each reproduction of storage 36_1,36_2 and 36_3 place, six memory bank zones " 0 " to " 6 " are regularly with acting on the storage area of the decoded result of storing I and P picture data exclusively, and two memory bank zones " 6 " and " 7 " are regularly with the storage area that acts on the decoded result of storing the B picture data.That is to say that reproduction of storage 36_1 is stored in corresponding decoder 34_1,34_2 and all I of 34_3 place decoding and the decoded result of P picture data simultaneously to 36_3.Keep this storage till the decoded result with the I of next GOP that will be decoded and P picture data writes decoder.
When decoding reproduction data ENC shown in Figure 2, for example as shown in Figure 3, decoder 34_1 is written in I2, P5, P8, P11 and the P14 picture data among the GOP (N-1) in the memory bank zone " 0 " to " 5 " of reproduction of storage 36_1, and the I2 picture data in GOP (N).In addition, for example as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, decoder 34_2 writes I2, P5, P8, P11 and the P14 picture data among the GOP (N) in the memory bank zone " 0 " to " 5 " of reproduction of storage 36_2, and the I2 picture data among the GOP (N+1).In addition, for example as shown in Figure 4, decoder 343 writes I2, P5, P8, P11 and the P14 picture data among the GOP (N+1) in the memory bank zone " 0 " to " 5 " of reproduction of storage 363, and the I2 picture data in GOP (N+2).
In addition, when B picture data in GOP (N-1) of decoder 34_1 decoding, it arrives the I in " 5 " and the decoded result of P picture data with reference to the memory bank zone " 0 " that is stored in reproduction of storage 36_1.In addition, when B picture data in GOP (N) of decoder 34_2 decoding, it arrives the I in " 5 " and the decoded result of P picture data with reference to the memory bank zone " 0 " that is stored in reproduction of storage 36_2.In addition, when B picture data in GOP (N+I) of decoder 34_3 decoding, it arrives the I in " 5 " and the decoded result of P picture data with reference to the memory bank zone " 0 " that is stored in reproduction of storage 36_3.It is also noted that, decoder 34_1,34_2 and 34_3 are used in that B picture data decoded result of the B picture data of three pictures afterwards, override reproduction of storage 36_1 memory bank " 6 " and " 7 " decoded result that stored, that B picture data to 36_3 continuously.For this reason, do not need to provide memory bank zone, and can make the size decreases of reproduction of storage 36_1 to 36_3 corresponding to all the B picture datas in GOP.
" selector 38 ":
Selector 38 switches and reproduces selectively and export from reproduction of storage 36_1,36_2 and 36_3 picture data that read, after decoding as picture data S38 under the control of CPU42.
“CPU42”:
CPU42 is that each GOP that is stored in the input store 32 carries out decoding scheduling, so that be included in picture data among that GOP according to the reproduction speed decoding of appointment.Specifically, CPU42 is chosen in the picture data that is included among the GOP, will carries out the decoded pictures data to specify reproduction speed, be identified for decoding in selected picture data a picture data (for example, the I picture data) timing and the being used to order of selected picture data of decoding, and generate the decoding scheduling result who shows this result.CPU42 is based on the reproduction speed of above-mentioned decoding scheduling result and appointment, is unit each picture data that determines whether to decode with the picture data.When determining to decode to picture data, it sends the decodes commands that is used for that picture data and makes decoder 34_1,34_2 and the following decoding processing of 34_3 execution.In addition, CPU42 is that unit determines whether to reproduce and export each picture data based on the reproduction speed of above-mentioned decoding scheduling result and appointment with the picture data.When determining reproduction and exporting this picture data, it sends the display command of that picture data.It is also noted that in this embodiment, even when having specified certain reproduction speed, CPU42 also has precedence over the B picture data and decode I and P picture data in each GOP.Therefore, after receiving the rapid change order, reproduction after the rapid change and output can obtain I, P and any one decoded result of B picture data in the time of a picture data that is used for decoding, that is to say, can begin reproduction and output after change speed at short notice.
For example, CPU42 reads picture data from input store 32, so that belong to the I of identical GOP and P picture data and with reference to the B picture data of the decoded result of this I and P picture data by identical decoder 34_1,34_2 and 34_3 decoding.For example, CPU42 reads out in I and P picture data among the GOP (N-1) by PCI bridger 30 from input store 32, and by B picture data that decode with reference to the decoded result of this I and P picture data, in GOP (N), and they are outputed to decoder 34_1.Here, in current embodiment, with reference to (open) GOP who opens, it is decoded with reference to the I among the GOP with different B picture data and the decoded result of P picture data.Specifically, for example, B0 in GOP shown in Figure 2 (N) and B1 picture data are to decode with reference to the decoded result of I in GOP (N-1) and P picture data.Therefore, CPU42 will output to decoder 34_1 at B0 among the GOP (N) and B1 picture data.
In addition, for example, CPU42 reads in I and P picture data among the GOP (N) by PCI bridger 30 from input store 32, and by B picture data that decode with reference to the decoded result of this I and P picture data, in GOP (N+1), and they are outputed to decoder 34_2.In addition, for example, CPU42 reads in I and P picture data among the GOP (N+1) by PCI bridger 30 from input store 32, and by B picture data that decode with reference to the decoded result of this I and P picture data, in GOP (N+2), and they are outputed to decoder 34_3.
When CPU42 for example receives when reproducing initiation command from the CPU20 of computer 2, CPU42 makes decoder 34_1,34_2 and 34_3 decode to a plurality of GOP that comprise this reproduction point.At this moment wait, the decoding of the B picture data that CPU42 control is undertaken by decoder 34_1,34_2 and 34_3, reading and the selection of selector 38 from reproduction of storage 36_1,36_2 and 36_3 to selector 38 are so that carry out the reproduction and the output of data from reproducing the some beginning along assigned direction, with command speed.
Below, will the operation example of data handling system 1 shown in Figure 1 be described.

For example, the CPU42 of reproducer 4 judges and to comprise whether the scheduling of GOP of reproducing the picture data of point according to the next one that reproduces direction has finished (that is to say whether need scheduling).When judging that scheduling is not finished, it proceeds to step ST8, and when judging that it has been finished, it proceeds to step ST9.
[second operation example]
In this operation example in detail, the decoding of the step ST15 shown in Fig. 6 will be described.For example, as using as described in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the CPU42 of reproducer 4 based on above-mentioned scheduling result, read the included picture data of GOP that is stored in the input store 32, and above-mentioned data are outputed to decoder 34_1,34_2 and 34_3.In addition, as mentioned above, decoder 34_1,34_2 and 34_3 decode to it, and write decoded result in reproduction of storage 36_1,36_2 and 36_3.
As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, reproducer 4 is at I and the P picture data of decoding in GOP in decoder 34_1,34_2 and 34_3 at first before the B picture data, and the result is written in the fixed storage body region among reproduction of storage 36_1,36_2 and the 36_3.Thus, if after this writes, be useful on the time of a picture data of decoding (frame), then might reproduce and export any picture data in just processed GOP.That is to say, as illustrated after a while, when decoding and reproducing and export when occurring being used to change the order of reproduction speed in the middle of the process of the picture data in GOP, might after this rapid change order, be used to decode in time of 1 picture data, use Fig. 6 and step ST9 shown in Figure 7 processing, reproduce and export picture data according to the reproduction speed that is changed to ST18.For example, when decoding and reproduce and when exporting B9 picture data among the GOP shown in Figure 3 (N-1), the P8 in GOP (N-1) and the decoded result of P11 picture data are essential.In addition, the decoding of P8 picture data needs the decoded result of P5 picture data, and the decoding of P5 picture data needs the decoded result of I2 picture data.Therefore, decoding B9 picture data needs the decoded result of I2, P5, P8 and P11 picture data.As shown in Figure 3, according to reproducer 4, by storage I and P picture data in reproduction of storage 36_1, if decoder 34_1 receives the B9 picture data of GOP (N-1), then decoder 34_1 can utilize the memory bank zone " 2 " that is stored in reproduction of storage 36_1 already and P8 and the P11 picture data in " 3 ", with decoding immediately and reproduce and the B9 picture data of output GOP (N-1).Thus, it is possible changing reproduction speed and have no time to lag behind.
[the 3rd operation example]
Below, will illustrate when as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, the operation example of reproducer 4 during when carrying out forward direction (FWD) 1X speed and reproducing and with 1.5X speed is reproduced, 3X speed is reproduced and 1X speed is reproduced order modification reproduction speed.Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 are the views that is used to illustrate this operation example.As shown in Figure 8, when decoder 342 is reproducing and is exporting the decoded result of B1 picture data of GOP (N), if the CPU42 by reproducer 4 has received the order that is used to change to 1.5X speed, then CPU42 proceeds Fig. 6 and step ST9 shown in Figure 7 to ST18, with before the decoding of finishing GOP (N) and reproduction and output, carry out decoding and reproduction and output corresponding to 1.5X speed.Thus, might transform to 1.5X speed from the B4 picture data of reproduction and output GOP (N).That is to say, if reproducer 4 does not have to reproduce and B0, B3, B6 and the B9 picture data of output in the decoding scheduling result who decodes with the reproduction of 1X speed, then reproducer 4 can be realized 1.5X speed, so, can realize 1.5X speed simply by becoming effectively regularly from the order that is used to change to 1.5X speed, make can picture data reproduced and output aspect the time not invalid or it is compressed.At this moment wait, reproducer 4 is with the mode identical with the reproduction of 1X speed, the anchor picture data that decoding is made of I and P picture data, it is written among reproduction of storage 36_1,36_2 and the 36_3, and is becoming invalid aspect the time and carrying out the B picture data that compresses by decoder 34_1,34_2 and 34_3 decoding.
After this, as shown in Figure 9, when decoder 343 is reproducing and is exporting the decoded result of P8 picture data of GOP (N+1), if the CPU42 by reproducer 4 has received the order that changes to 3X speed, then CPU42 proceeds Fig. 6 and step ST9 shown in Figure 7 to ST18, to carry out decoding and reproduction and the output corresponding to 3X speed before the decoding of finishing GOP (N+1) and reproduction and output.Thus, might transform to 3X speed from the reproduction of the P11 picture data of GOP (N+1) and output reproduces and exports.
After this, as shown in Figure 9, when decoder 342 is reproducing and is exporting the decoded result of P14 picture data of GOP (N+2), if the CPU42 by reproducer 4 has received the order that changes to 1X speed, then CPU42 proceeds Fig. 6 and step ST9 shown in Figure 7 to ST18, begins to carry out decoding and reproduction and output corresponding to 1X speed with the P5 picture data from GOP (N+3).At this moment wait,, transform to the reproduction of 1X speed so might reproduce from 3X speed at short notice because the decoded result of the I of GOP (N+3) and P picture data is stored among the reproduction of storage 36_3.In this way, decoding order when for example reproducer 4 determines that 1X speed is reproduced in advance by decoding scheduling, when specifying (changes) reproduction speed, judgement has the validity of the picture data of decoding order shown in the decoding scheduling, and only decoding is judged as effective picture data, so can enough quick responses carry out variable speed reproducing.
As mentioned above, illustrated like that as using Fig. 6 and Fig. 7, data handling system 1 is a unit execution decoding scheduling with GOP.Whether decoding and reproducing and output when forming the picture data of GOP actually is that unit determines whether decoding based on the result of decoding scheduling and reproduction speed, with the picture data and reproduce and output is scheduled for the decoded pictures data.Therefore, according to data handling system 1, if the order of reproduction speed occurs being used to change, then might be that unit carries out decoding and reproduction and the output corresponding to the reproduction speed that is changed before the reproduction of this GOP is finished, with the picture data at the reproduction period of a GOP.Therefore, and past, might shorten from reproducer 4 receive the order that is used to change reproduction speed the time be carved into the time of in fact carrying out corresponding to the moment of the reproduction of the reproduction speed that is changed and output.
In addition, in data handling system 1, reproducer 4 was written to reproduction of storage 36_1 in the fixed storage body region of 36_3 with the decoded result of I and P picture data, and keeps it constantly before the B picture data.Therefore, reproducer 4 can reproduce and output all picture datas in just processed GOP during decoding B picture data.In addition, reproducer 4 overrides the decoded result of B picture data continuously in the storage body of reproduction of storage 36_1,36_2 and 36_3.Thus, might carry out reproduction and output at short notice, and can greatly not increase the memory capacity of reproduction of storage 36_1 to 36_3 corresponding to the reproduction speed that changes.
When picture data is high definition (HD) image or other when having the image of mass data, perhaps when adopting the long GOP of the picture data of comparing, have greater number with common GOP in each GOP, above-mentioned effect is very significant.
<the second embodiment 〉
In this embodiment, understand that for example wherein reproducer has the situation of single decoder.Figure 10 is the view according to the configured in one piece of the data handling system 1a of one embodiment of the invention.As shown in figure 10, data handling system 1a has for example computer 2 and reproducer 4a.Computer 2 shown in Figure 10 is identical with the computer 2 of first embodiment.As shown in figure 10, reproducer 4a has for example PCI bridger 30, input store 32, decoder 34, reproduction of storage 36, control storage 40, CPU42a and control bus 46.In the configuration of reproducer 4a shown in Figure 10, distributed the parts of the reference number identical to be similar to those parts of first embodiment with Fig. 1.Reproducer 4a has single decoder 34 and reproduction of storage 36.According to this, decoding and the reproduction and the output of CPU42a control picture data.It is also noted that except the decoding of single decoder 34 and reproduction and output this point, the processing of the reproducer 4 of the processing of reproducer 4a and Fig. 5 first embodiment in Fig. 7 is identical.
Below, will illustrate that wherein data handling system 1a carries out the situation that 1X velocity reversal (REV) reproduces.Figure 11 and Figure 12 are views, are used to illustrate the operation that data handling system 1a wherein shown in Figure 10 reproduces reproduction data ENC with reverse (REV) direction.As Figure 11 and shown in Figure 12, under the situation of inverse repetition, decoder 34 at first the decode I of GOP (N+3) and the I2 picture data of P picture data and GOP (N+2), and the memory bank zone " 0 " that decoded result is written to decoder 34 arrived in " 5 ".After this, decoder 34 B13 and B12 picture data, the P5 picture data of GOP (N+2), the B10 of GOP (N+3) and the P8 picture data of B9 picture data and GOP (N+2) of GOP (N+3) of decoding continuously.Further, decoder 34 reproduce continuously and export GOP (N+3) P14, B13, B12, P11, P10, B9 ... decoded result.
Below, explanation is reproduced the situation that the 1.5X velocity reversal reproduces, the 3X velocity reversal reproduces and the 1X velocity reversal reproduces that changes to reproduction speed from 1X velocity reversal shown in Figure 11 continuously.Figure 13 and Figure 14 are the views that is used to illustrate this operation example.As shown in figure 13, when decoder 34 is reproducing with the 1X velocity reversal and is exporting the decoded result of the P5 picture data among the GOP (N+3), if the CPU42 by reproducer 4 has received the order that changes to 1.5X velocity reversal reproduction, then CPU42 proceeds Fig. 6 and step ST9 shown in Figure 7 to ST18, to carry out decoding and reproduction and the output corresponding to 1.5X speed before the decoding of finishing GOP (N+3) and reproduction and output.Thus, might transform to reproduction and the output that the 1.5X velocity reversal reproduces from the reproduction and the output of the B4 picture data the GOP (N+3).
After this, as shown in figure 14, when decoder 34 is reproducing and is exporting the decoded result of P11 picture data of GOP (N+1), if the CPU42 by reproducer 4 has received the order that changes to 3X velocity reversal reproduction, then CPU42 proceeds Fig. 6 and step ST9 shown in Figure 7 to ST18, to carry out decoding and the reproduction and the output of reproducing corresponding to the 3X velocity reversal before the decoding of finishing GOP (N+1) and reproduction and output.Thus, might transform to reproduction and the output that the 3X velocity reversal reproduces from the reproduction and the output of the P8 picture data the GOP (N+1).
After this, as shown in figure 14, when decoder 34 is reproducing and is exporting the decoded result of I2 picture data of GOP (N), if the CPU42 by reproducer 4 has received the order that changes to 1X velocity reversal reproduction, then CPU42 proceeds Fig. 6 and step ST9 shown in Figure 7 to ST18, begins to carry out decoding and the reproduction and the output of reproducing corresponding to the 1X velocity reversal with the B13 picture data from GOP (N-1).At this moment wait,, transform to 1X velocity reversal reproduction so might reproduce from the 3X velocity reversal at short notice because the decoded result of the I of GOP (N+3) and P picture data is stored in the reproduction of storage 36.By this way, for example, in reproducer 4a, determine the decoding order that the 1X velocity reversal reproduces by decoding scheduling in advance.When specifying (change) inverse repetition speed, judge the validity of picture data with the decoding order shown in the decoding scheduling.Only decoding is judged as effective picture data.Thus, also be possible even when inverse repetition, carry out variable speed reproducing with good response.Equally, utilize this data handling system 1a, can obtain to be similar to the effect of the data handling system 1 among first embodiment.
