Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for creating and registering multimedia information including information such as moving pictures, still pictures, documents and the like using an electronic computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A system for providing on-demand multimedia information (hereinafter referred to as a title) including information such as moving images, still images, and documents will be considered. For example, a personal computer is installed as a street corner terminal in multiple places in the city,
This application is for providing information on demand, such as administrative guidance, event information, facility guidance, and product advertisement, in response to user requests. When titles are provided in such a geographically wide range, as shown in FIG. 16, all titles are stored in a server computer, and information is provided by a plurality of terminals via a high-speed network. Is a method of storing all titles in a stand-alone personal computer (reproduction terminal) and providing information.

It would be good if a single server computer could be used to provide titles over a wide area, but at present, a high-speed and wide-area network capable of transmitting moving image data cannot be used at a low cost. I have to take.

In such an embodiment, one of the following two methods is used to newly create a title and register it in each server computer or playback terminal. In the first method, as shown in FIG. 17, the title to be newly registered is stored in a large-capacity portable medium such as a magneto-optical disk, and the disk is sent by mail or the like, and registered in each computer. How to In the second method, as shown in FIG. 18, the information production apparatus and each computer are connected to ISDN (64 kbps or 1 kbps).
28kbps, etc.), using a low-cost, low-cost network,
This is a method of transferring and registering titles.

[0005]

According to the first method,
It takes several days to update the contents of the server by mailing the media.

In the case of providing such information, it is more frequent to change a part of the existing multimedia information to obtain new information than to change the entire one piece of multimedia information itself. . Further, at this time, still image data such as moving image data and photos are often reused. Therefore, in the second method, when a part of multimedia information already on the server, for example, a date in a document is changed, But to transfer all data again, I
If a low-speed and inexpensive network such as SDN is used, it takes a lot of time. For example, if 3 minutes of MPEG1 moving image data is transferred at 128 kbps, approximately 30
It takes a minute.

[0007] In addition, in the second method, all the material data constituting the multimedia information must be stored in the production computer. In this case, a storage device for material data is required twice for the production computer and the server, and labor is required for system operation in terms of consistency management of material data and the like.

In view of the above problems, in the present invention, first, when registering multimedia information in a remote server, not all material data is transferred and registered, but the multimedia information does not exist in the server. An object of the present invention is to transfer only material data and to construct and register new multimedia information together with material data already existing in a server.

[0009] Second, moving image data is not placed at the production site (without having a double storage device for moving image data), and the moving image data at a low rate stored in the server is stored in a low-speed and inexpensive network such as ISDN. The purpose is to be able to produce multimedia information by transmitting it over a network.

[0010] Third, moving image data is not placed at the production site (without having a double storage device for the moving image data), and the moving image data in the server is reduced in real time so as to be low-speed and inexpensive such as ISDN. The purpose is to be able to produce multimedia information by transmitting over a simple network.

[0011]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, first, when registering multimedia information in a remote server, it is necessary to transfer and register all material data. In addition, by transferring material data that does not exist on the server, new multimedia information can be constructed and registered along with the material data already existing on the server, reducing the time required for registering new multimedia information. It is possible.

Secondly, in addition to the first method, multimedia information is transmitted by transmitting low-rate moving image data in a server through a low-speed and low-cost network such as ISDN without placing moving image data at a production site. Is created and registered in a server at a remote location, so that two storage devices for moving image data
There is no need to have it again, and the management of moving image data becomes easy.

[0013] Third, in addition to the first method, the moving image data in the server is reduced in real time without transmitting the moving image data at the place of production, and is transmitted through a low-speed and inexpensive network such as ISDN. By creating media information and registering it in a server at a remote location, there is no need to double the storage device for moving image data, making it easier to manage moving image data.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIGS.
An embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of an embodiment of the first invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 101 denotes a title production device.
2 is a title production unit, 103 is a material information creation unit, 104
Is a title transmission unit, 105 is a material database, 106
Is a title temporary storage, 107 is a server, and the server 107
, 108 is a missing material search unit, 109 is a title registration unit, 110 is a material file name conversion rule, 111 is a material database, and 112 is a scenario database.

[0016] Title production apparatus 101 and server 107
Are connected by a network such as ISDN.

The operation of the embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 shows an outline of the operation of the present embodiment. First, the creation and transmission of material information to the server will be described. The title production unit 102 produces a title using the materials (moving images, still images, documents, sounds, animations, etc.) of the material database 105 and stores the titles in the title temporary storage 106. At this time, the title includes one or more scenario files and a plurality of material files. The scenario file describes a material file used in the title, a display position of each material at the time of reproduction, a display size, a time, and the like.

When the saving to the title temporary storage 106 is completed, the title producing unit 102 activates the material information creating unit 103 and the title transmitting unit 104. Material information creation unit 10
3 extracts the information of the material used in the title from the scenario file in the title temporary storage 106. The material information at this time is created for all the material files by using the material file name in the title production device 101, the file size, the byte data at the beginning, middle, and end of the file as one unit. Is done.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the material information. In FIG. 3, one unit of material information is described in one line, and each line is, from the left, a comma in the order of a material file name, a file size, a file head byte data, a file intermediate byte data, and a file end byte data. They are separated by (,).

When the creation of the material information on all the material files is completed, the material information creating unit 103 sends the material information to the missing material searching unit 108 of the server 107.

Next, the search for the missing material and the notification of the missing material information to the title production apparatus 101 will be described. The missing material search unit 108 searches for a material file necessary for realizing the title in the server 107 based on the sent material information, and sends material information on the missing material file to the title transmitting unit of the title production device 101. 10
Return to 4.

The search for the missing material is to search the sent material information for a material file that does not match all the material information in the material database 111. That is, a material file that satisfies the search condition {material file name * file size * first byte data of file * middle byte data of file * last byte data of file} is searched from the material database 111, and the material information having the failed search is found. Make the source file a missing source.
An asterisk (*) in the search condition indicates a logical product.

In this embodiment, in order to improve the accuracy of the material file identity check, in addition to the material file name,
The determination is made using the file size and the byte data at three locations in the file. The reason that the file owner name and the creation date and time are not used is that the information is
1 and the server 107 are not guaranteed to be the same. Although it is possible to make these pieces of information the same, it is necessary to provide a user management and a time management mechanism, which requires labor for system operation.

The material file name used in the search for the missing material is obtained by converting the material file name in the material information according to the material file name conversion rule 110 set in the server 107 in advance. This is because the name of the material file in the title production device 101 and the name of the material file in the material database 111 of the server 107 generally do not match. For example,
The name of the material file of the title production device 101 is C: ￥
TITLE MOVIE DATA1. MPG, whereas the name on server 107 is / TITLE / MOV
IE / DATA1. There is a case where it is MPG. Although it is possible to provide a mechanism for matching the material file names in the title production device 101 and the server 107, restrictions such as using the same operating system and file management mechanism for both are required, and the system is extended. It is not appropriate to reduce the quality.

As a result of the above search processing, the server 10
When there are material files that are not registered in the material database 111 of No. 7, that is, missing materials, material information relating to them is collectively returned to the title transmitting unit 104 of the title production device 101. If there is no missing material, empty material information is returned.

Next, registration of a title will be described.
Upon obtaining the material information on the missing material from the server 107, the title transmitting unit 104 extracts the scenario file and the missing material file from the title temporary storage 106,
Server 1 sequentially in the order of scenario file and material file
07 to the title registration unit 109.

Upon receiving the scenario file and the material file, the title registration unit 109 registers the material file in the material database 111 and then registers the scenario file in the scenario database 112. Title registration part 1
In step 09, when the material file is registered in the material database 111, the material file name in the title production device 101 is converted based on the material file name conversion rule 110.
At this time, the name of the material file in the scenario file is also
It is converted based on the material file name conversion rule 110.
Through the above series of processing, a new title can be registered in the server 107.

Next, a description will be given of the material file name conversion rules. As shown in FIG. 4, the source file name conversion rule is as follows.
It is expressed in a format in which the left term and the right term that are the host name, file name, and separator separated by a colon (:) are connected by the operator =.
When the material file name conversion rule shown in FIG. 5 is applied to a material file name shown in FIG. 6, a conversion result is obtained as shown in FIG. That is, the character string representing the corresponding file name is replaced with the corresponding file name character string in the conversion rule, and the separator is also replaced with the specified character string.

As described above, in the present embodiment, material information such as a list of materials used in the produced title is created and transmitted to the server (the material information creating unit 10).
3) Based on the search, the server searches for the missing material, transmits the information to the title production device (missing material search unit 108), and sends the scenario and the missing material on the server to the server ( By performing the title transmission unit 104), it is possible to eliminate waste associated with transmission and reception and registration of duplicate materials, and further, to convert between the file name of the material on the title production device side and the file name of the material on the server side. By preparing rules (material file name conversion rules 110), the title production device 101 and the server 107 can describe a scenario using different description formats of file names, and the number of title production devices and servers can be reduced. It can respond flexibly to changes, and its practical effect is great.

(Embodiment 2) Next, FIG. 8 shows a configuration diagram of an embodiment of the second invention. In FIG. 8, reference numeral 801 denotes a title production device.
802 is a title production unit, 803 is a frame number conversion unit,
Reference numeral 804 denotes a server. In the server 804, 805 is a low-rate moving image creation unit, 806 is a material database, 807 is a low-rate moving image database, and 808 is a moving image file name conversion table. Title production device 801 and server 804
Are connected by a network such as ISDN.

In the title used in this embodiment, a still image, a document, and a sound are linked to an arbitrary frame of the moving image, mainly one moving image. Information on the connection of a still image, a document, and audio to a moving image exists independently of material data such as a moving image, and is called a scenario. When such a title is reproduced, a still image, a document, or a sound connected to the frame is displayed or hidden according to the progress of the moving image. Note that moving image, still image, document, and audio data are stored in one file each. FIG. 9 shows a conceptual diagram of the title structure. In FIG. 9, still image # 1
Is displayed at the same time that two frames of the moving image are displayed.
Disappears at the end of the frame display. Similarly, still image # 2 is displayed in 9 frames and disappears in 12 frames, and document # 1 is displayed in 5 frames and disappears in 12 frames.
As described above, the title has a structure in which a still image, a document, and audio are linked to a moving image.

The operation of the embodiment will be described. First, an operation for creating a title while reproducing a low-rate moving image stored in a server via a low-speed line such as ISDN will be described.

The low-rate moving image used in this embodiment is
It has a structure conforming to MPEG1 (ISO / IEC11172), and its rate is reduced by adjusting the frame rate (the number of frames per second) of the original moving image and the resolution of one frame. The low-rate moving image file in the present embodiment is created by the low-rate moving image creating unit 805 when the original moving image file is registered in the server 804, and stored in the low-rate moving image database 807. After completing the creation of the low-rate moving image file, the low-rate moving image creation unit 805 records the correspondence between the original moving image file name and the low-rate moving image file name in the moving image file name conversion table 808.

The low-rate moving image database 807 sequentially transmits low-rate moving image data in response to a request from the title producing unit 802. The request from the title production unit 802 is generated for each data block in fixed-length data blocks. That is, the title production unit 802 requests one data block from the low-rate moving image database 807, and upon receiving the corresponding data block, requests transmission of the next data block. The low-rate moving image database 807 has a function of transmitting low-rate moving image data within a certain time in response to a request from the title producing unit 802 in order to smoothly reproduce the low-rate moving image in the title producing unit 802. I have.

The title creation procedure is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. That is. 1) Select a low-rate movie. 2) Play back the moving image, stop the still image material or document material at the position (frame) where the display state is to be changed, select the change in the display state, and connect it to the frame of the moving image. 3) Repeat steps 1) and 2) to create a title. 4) Convert the number of frames in the scenario to the number of frames in the original video. 5) Register the completed title in the server. And so on.
Here, the change in the display state of the material means display of the material, deletion of the material, replacement with another material, addition of another material, and the like. The data of the still image material or the document material is stored in the server 80.
4 or the material database 105 in the title production device 801.

As a result of creating a title in the above-described procedure, a scenario describing the relationship between a moving image frame and a change in the display state of a material is created. FIG. 11 shows an example of the scenario. The scenario is composed of four blocks of “title name”, “material information”, “display change”, and “display position”. "Material information" has information such as material identifier, material type, material file name, etc., "Display change" has information of frame number, material identifier, contents of display change and display position, and "Display position" has display position. It has information such as an identifier, display coordinates, display size, and font type.

In the example shown in FIG. 11, the moving picture shift1. play mpg at display position 1,
Document doc1. txt in the display position 2 and the document doc2.doc.
txt in the display position 3 and the still image image1. bmp is displayed at the display position 6. Next, when the number of frames reaches 100, the document doc2. txt3 and delete document doc3. tx
t is displayed at the display position 4. Similarly, when a specified frame is reached, a specified display change occurs.

Next, the conversion of the number of frames will be described.
The number of frames is converted by converting the frame position of the low-rate video to the frame position of the original video, and when the created title is played back using the original video, a display change according to the intention of the title creator occurs. The purpose is to let them.

The procedure for converting the number of frames is as shown in FIG. 12. 1) The original video file name is obtained from the low-rate video file name using the video file name conversion table, and the low-rate video file name in the scenario is converted to the original video file name. Replace with the first name.
2) Obtain the respective frame rates from the data of the original video and the low-rate video. 3) Convert the number of frames in the scenario to the number of frames in the original video. , Etc. FIG. 13 shows the frame number conversion formula at this time.

FIG. 14 shows a scenario after conversion when the frame rate of the low-rate moving image is 15 and the frame rate of the original moving image is 30 with respect to the scenario shown in FIG.

The title created as described above is
It is registered in the server 804. Since the processing at this time is performed in the same processing procedure as in the first embodiment, the description is omitted.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when a moving image is stored in the material database 806, a lower-rate moving image is created in advance from the moving image (original moving image) (low-rate moving image creating unit 805) and stored (low-rate moving image creating unit 805). The rate moving image database 807) receives a low-rate moving image each time a title is produced, and produces a title based on the received low-rate moving image. This eliminates the need for the title producing apparatus 801 to have moving image data. Can be omitted. Also, based on the correspondence between the original video and the low-rate video (video file name conversion table 808), the title mainly based on the low-rate video can be changed to the title mainly based on the original video. (The number-of-frames conversion unit 803), and the practical effect is large. (Conversion may not be performed if the title creator does not desire conversion.) In particular, this apparatus (FIG. 8)
Although the U power (processing capacity) is low, it is effective for a form in which the data storage capacity is large.

(Embodiment 3) FIG. 15 shows a configuration diagram of an embodiment of the third invention. In FIG.
01 is a title production device, 1502 is a title production department,
Reference numeral 1503 denotes a server, and 1504 denotes a low-rate moving image creating unit. The title production device 1501 and the server 1503
They are connected by a network such as SDN. Other components having the same reference numerals are the same as those in the first and second embodiments (FIGS. 1 and 8).

Unlike the second embodiment, the present embodiment does not create a low-rate moving image file in advance, but dynamically generates low-rate moving image data from the original moving image data at the time of creating a title. This is transmitted to the creation device 1501.

The operation of this embodiment will be described. The procedure for creating a title is the same as that described in the second embodiment, and a description thereof will not be repeated. Here, the low-rate moving image creation unit 15
The operation of FIG. Low-rate video creation unit 15
04 is processing to be performed on video data when creating a title,
That is, the operation is changed in accordance with reproduction, stop, forward jump, backward jump, and top jump. The basic operation of the low-rate moving image creation unit 1504 is as follows.
Is to sequentially acquire moving image data from the moving image file in the material database 806 designated by, and create low-rate moving image data by reducing the frame rate and resolution and send it to the title creating unit 1502. The degree to which the rate is reduced for the original moving image data is determined by instructing the title creating unit 1502 to the low-rate moving image creating unit 1504.

The low-rate moving image creating unit 1504 sequentially sends low-rate moving image data in response to a request from the title producing unit 1502. The request from the title production unit 1502 is generated for each data block in fixed-length data blocks. That is, the title producing unit 1502 requests one data block from the low-rate moving image producing unit 1504, and upon receiving the corresponding data block, requests transmission of the next data block. Low-rate video creation unit 150
4 has a function of transmitting low-rate moving image data within a certain period of time in response to a request from the title producing unit 1502 in order to smoothly reproduce a low-rate moving image in the title producing unit 1502 (that is, In the present embodiment, there is no need to replace the moving image file name during the frame number conversion process, and the server does not require a low-rate moving image database.)

As described above, in the present embodiment, upon receiving an instruction from the title production device 1501 (a notification that transmission of a moving image as a key to producing a title is requested), the server 1503 side When the instruction is received, a low-rate moving image is created and transmitted (low-rate moving image creating unit 1504), and the title producing device 1501 receives the low-rate moving image and produces a title based on the low-rate moving image. Since the 1501 side does not need to have moving image data, redundant management of moving image data can be omitted, and conversion from a title mainly composed of a low-rate moving image to a title mainly composed of an original moving image (frame number conversion unit) 803)
The practical effect is great. (Conversion may not be performed if the title creator does not desire conversion.) In particular, this apparatus (FIG. 15)
This is effective in a mode in which the CPU power (processing capacity) is high but the data storage capacity is small.

Further, since the rate is reduced by thinning out the number of frames with the moving image as a base axis, a frame number conversion unit 803 is provided as a means for converting a title produced based on the low rate moving image into a title with the original moving image as a base axis. However, as other means for lowering the rate, a method of lowering the resolution, for example, 240 dots in the vertical direction and 320 dots in the horizontal direction, or a method of changing the compression method of the moving image (discrete COS conversion, WAVELET conversion) Etc.) can be used. At this time, if the number of frames is the same as the original moving image, the frame number conversion unit 803 does not need to be used.

[0049]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, when registering multimedia information in a remote server, instead of transferring and registering all the material data, material data that does not exist in the server is not registered. By the transfer, new multimedia information can be constructed and registered together with the material data already existing in the server, and the time required for registering new multimedia information can be shortened.

According to the second invention, in addition to the first invention, the moving image data is not placed at the place of production, and the moving image data having a reduced rate in the server is transmitted over a low-speed and inexpensive network such as an ISDN. By producing media information and registering it in a server at a remote location, there is no need to double the storage device for moving image data, and there is an effect that the management of moving image data becomes easy.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the first aspect, moving image data in a server is reduced in real time and transmitted through a low-speed and inexpensive network such as ISDN, without placing moving image data at a production site. By creating multimedia information and registering it in a server at a remote location, there is no need to double the storage device for moving image data, so that there is an advantage that moving image data can be managed more easily.
