Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of reading a content on a multimedia device comprising a player of the content.
- multimedia devices portable / fixed
- reading contents audio / video
- readers allowing a user navigation (also called "trick mode" according to the English terminology) in these contents, while allowing him to visualize the current position of the navigation in the content, such as for example during a fast forwarding, fast rewinding.
- the continuous playback of the content during navigation causes over-consumption of the resources of the central unit and / or the reader of the device, compared to the reading at normal speed.
- the continuous reading of the content during navigation causes an overload of the network.
- a method used for high speed navigation is to display only some images of the content.
- the images displayed in navigation are the images I, also called “intra” images, which are completely independent of the other normally read images, and which are generally coded, in JPEG (Joint Photographers Experts Group) for example.
- This method is indeed less expensive as regards the use of the resources of the device and / or the load of the network, but requires an efficient reading process in order to have a display of images I at regular intervals, so that the user has a feeling of fluidity.
- set-top boxes STB
- digital video recorders also known as “Personal Video Recorders” (PVR) or “Digital Video Recorders” (DVR)
- PVR Personal Video Recorders
- DVR Digital Video Recorders
- the reader when the reader receives a navigation instruction given by a user, he positions the reading in the content according to the received instruction, and displays a first image I according to the reading position. The reader then stops reading the contents after the display of said first image I and continuously displays said first image. And so on.
- the display of the successive images I is regular, at time intervals substantially equal to
- the reader keeps the display of the current image I and displays only the next image I The positioning and display time is lower than The display may then be jerky.
- the reading methods currently implemented are generally of good quality for a specific type of content and stored on a memory of the multimedia device, because the reference time t ref is well dimensioned for this type of content. They are thus of good quality for reading content in a format compatible with digital video broadcasting (also called “Digital Video Broadcasting" (DVB) according to the English terminology) from a hard disk of the device.
- digital video broadcasting also called “Digital Video Broadcasting” (DVB) according to the English terminology
- the reference time t ref known is not dimensioned so that the display of images I is quite common and not jerky for the contents other than DVB and / or remote.
- the reference time t ref is generally too short, which implies that the display frequency of the images I depends on each image I, and is no longer linked to the display is therefore generally jerky.
- the images I may be displayed too quickly, which is not pleasant for the user, who will not have time to see the current position in the content.
- JP 2008 078755 discloses a method according to the preamble of claim 1, in which a content reader calculates an average display time of the images I. However, this average display time is used to optimize a calculation of a positioning search distance in the content.
- the reader is positioned directly and continuously in the content according to a navigation instruction and the search distance thus calculated, to increase the display frequency of the images I, which does not is not pleasant for the user, who will not have time to see the current position in the content.
- the invention proposes to overcome at least one of these disadvantages.
- the invention is advantageously completed by the features of the dependent claims 2 to 7 of the process
- the invention also relates to a device for implementing the method.
- the invention has many advantages.
- the waiting time t wa it after the display of each image I is neither too short nor too long.
- I images are not displayed jerkily, or too fast or too slow. The user therefore has the time to see the current position in the content.
- the waiting time is proportional to an average of the positioning and display times of the images I, the longer the user remains in navigation mode on the same content, and the more the display of the images I will be regular.
- the reference time t ref is proportional to the average display time tm and is expressed as follows:
- the display is from an http server, for example, and the bandwidth of the network varies abruptly, then the reader will adapt to these variations, and gradually.
- the method can be implemented for content of all types of DVB formats of course, but also for example in the formats
- the method can be implemented for content stored on a memory of the multimedia device (hard disk, USB key), but also a remote server (for example http server).
- a remote server for example http server
- FIG. 1 shows schematically in a non-temporal manner the sequence of the main steps of a method according to the invention implemented on a device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a non-temporal schematic representation of the implementation of a method according to the invention on a content
- FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of the implementation of a method according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 schematically represents main steps of a method according to the invention implemented on a device according to the invention.
- a method for reading a content 1 on a multimedia device 2 comprising a reader 4 of the content 1 is thus provided.
- content is understood to mean any stream of video data and / or composed of images, possibly with an audio stream, for example a film or a broadcast, in the .mov, .avi, .mp4 ( H264), MPEG2, WMA, or Divx.
- audio stream for example a film or a broadcast
- .mov .avi, .mp4 ( H264), MPEG2, WMA, or Divx.
- MPEG2 MPEG2
- WMA Wideband Code Division Multiple Access
- the content 1 is provided to the device 2 from a content server 3 which can be located on a storage area remote from the device 2 or internal to the device 2.
- the server 3 can thus be located on a hard disk, internal or external to the device 2, or a flash memory, that is to say a memory combining the advantages of the RAMs (writing, reading and erasing of data blocks) and those of the ROMs ( permanence of the content, even if it is turned off), or a USB key, that is to say a removable medium of the device 2, containing a flash memory or a hard disk and inserting itself into a USB port of the device.
- the server can be linked to the device by any type of connection, wired or wireless (GSM protocols, Wifi, Bluetooth, satellite, cable TV or Internet http (HyperText Transfer Protocol) for example).
- the multimedia device 2 is for example a decoder (or STB), for example TV, cable or satellite, advantageously of the digitiscope type (PVR or DVR) or any other device for downloading and / or reading a content 2, such as a digital photographic frame, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA) according to the English terminology generally used), a digital music player, etc.
- the display of the images can be performed on a screen of the device 2 (for example "Liquid Crystal Display” (LCD)), or on a remote screen (for example a television screen linked to the device 2).
- LCD Liquid Crystal Display
- the reader 4 is conventionally a hardware and software system allowing the execution of the multimedia content 1.
- the reader 4 comprises all the means allowing the device 2 to implement the method according to the invention.
- the player 4 thus allows the video display of the content and navigation in the content.
- the content 1 contains images I intended to be displayed during navigation.
- the images I also called “intra” images, are completely independent of the other normally read images, which are generally coded, in JPEG (Joint Photographers Experts Group) for example.
- the method mainly comprises, when the reader 4 receives, during an initialization step referenced by S0 in FIG. 1, a navigation instruction given by a user, the steps according to which the reader 4:
- step S7 stops the reading of the content after the display of said image I and makes a continuous display of said image;
- the navigation instruction can be, for example, fast forwarding or fast rewinding.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show a fast-forward instruction.
- the reader 4 stops the synchronization of the video playback and the audio playback of the content 1.
- the device checks whether the navigation mode is still requested by the user.
- the reader 4 then proceeds to a step S1 1 in which the reader reads the content 1 according to the normal reading mode.
- step S12 the synchronization of the video playback and the audio playback of the content is reestablished.
- the reader stops the navigation mode.
- step S3 If the answer is positive during the step S3, the reader 4 then proceeds to a step S4, according to which the reader 4 triggers and initializes a counter-stopwatch by asking
- step S5 the reader 4 sets the reading in the content 1 according to the received instruction.
- the instruction is a choice of the user: a navigation speed (x2, x8, x32, x64 or more for example) and a navigation direction (for example fast forward in Figure 2).
- step S5 As shown in FIG. 3 in particular, the image 10 is always displayed on the screen.
- the only information provided is generally the speed of navigation.
- the reader 4 can determine the temporal position to be placed in the content 1.
- the ⁇ depends on the direction of navigation: + for fast forward and - for fast return.
- the reader 4 determines this position in bytes.
- the unit to position itself is the byte, hence the need for a time-byte conversion.
- Sizeoffset i.e., the position in bytes in the content
- Sizeoffset (n + 1) t n + i x rate.
- the reader moves to a new read position in the content from l 0 , making a Sizeoffset (l) jump.
- I 0 is always displayed on the screen.
- the reader 4 reads only I images and displays an image l n + i, depending on the reading position, know about figure 3.
- step S7 the reader 4 stops reading the content after the display of said image l n + i and performs a continuous display of said image l n + i.
- step S8 the time t d is IAY P (n + 1) for positioning (step S5) of reading in the content and display (step S6) of the n + 1 th image I is determined by the meter of the reader and saved by the reader 4.
- step S5 the positioning time in the contents of step S5 from the 0 and the time of ⁇ display - ⁇ form a time t d ispiay (1) as shown in Figure 3.
- step S9 the reader 4 calculates the average time tm (n + 1) for both positioning (step S5) of reading in the content and displaying (step S6) of the n + 1 images I.
- the average time tm (n + 1) can be calculated from the mean time tm (n), without having to keep the values tdi Sp iay (n + 1) in memory of the n + 1 first images.
- tm (n) the average display time for the first n images I
- tm (n + 1) the average display time for the n + 1 images I;
- step S10 after the display of the image n + 1 which continues to be performed according to step S7 as shown in FIG. 4, the reader 4 waits a time t wa it (n + 1) equal to :
- step S7 and step S1 0 are therefore concomitant.
- the waiting time t wa it (n + 1) allows a display fluidity. Due to the display of the image l n + i during the time t wa it (n + 1), before checking if a navigation instruction is always given, and consequently to advance in the content, the user has time to see the current position in the content, which is more enjoyable for him.
- the reader can also calculate, during step S1 0 for example, the time t re f (n + 1) by the relation:
- step S3 the reader finds that the fast-forward instruction is always given.
- step S4 triggering and initializing the counter by asking
- step S5 the reader 4 sets the reading in the content 1 according to the received instruction.
- the image is always displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 3 in particular.
- Sizeoffset (2) ti> ⁇ rate.
- step S6 the player 4 plays only I frames and displays an image l 2 according to the playback position.
- step S7 the reader 4 stops the reading of the content after the display of said image 1 2 and continuously displays said image 1 2 .
- the positioning time Tdi Sp iay (2) (step S5) of the reading in the content and display (step S6) of the second image I is determined by the meter of the reader and saved by the reader 4.
- step S9 the reader 4 calculates the average time tm (2) for both positioning (step S5) of reading in the content and displaying (step S6) of the two images I.
- step S1 after the display of the image l 2 , the reader 4 waits a time t wa it (2) equal to:
- step S1 calculation re reader t f (2):
- k is a constant to set, depending on whether you want a very regular navigation but with fewer images, or a navigation with as many images as possible, but which may be less regular.
- k 3/2 seems a value that ensures the compromise of displaying a lot of images with a steady display rate.
- the display frequency takes into account the type of content and the reading parameters (network, bandwidth, for example).
