Description

Video player with hyperlink

The present invention relates to a video player, and more particularly, to a video player having a hyperlink function.

In general, the hyperlink function stores a large amount of information about a document, an image, an audio, etc. on a CD-ROM, a magneto-optical disk, or the World Wide Web of the Internet, which is a computer communication network. It refers to a special connection function that connects the specific part and the place where the detailed information is stored so that more detailed information about the specific part constituting the voice and the like can be obtained.

For example, a hypertext having a hyperlink function to a document is described, and a sentence, a heading attached to it, and a table of contents of the heading are related to each other so that information can be efficiently searched. For example, if the phrases 'flower', 'cherry blossom', and 'flower view' are hypertextized, and you want to get information about 'cherry blossom', you should use the heading 'cherry blossom' even if it is in the phrase 'flower'. You can retrieve the sentence you want by specifying it. In addition, the phrase 'cherry blossom' is found in the sentence called 'cherry blossom', and if you think about investigating it, you can get the sentence you want by simply specifying the phrase 'flower blossom'. In addition to text, graphics, audio and video can be handled in the same way.

However, the existing hyperlink technology grants hyperlinks to only parts of documents and still images, and the hyperlink function has not been applied to moving images that transmit richer information than the documents and still images. As a result, the user had no choice but to obtain the information.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a moving picture reproducing apparatus having a hyperlink function in order to obtain more detailed information on a specific part selected by a user among the displayed moving pictures while the moving picture is being played.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a video reproducing apparatus having a hyperlink function according to the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, a video player having a hyperlink function according to the present invention includes a video player for playing a video; An output unit for outputting a video played by the video player; A user signal input unit which receives information on a specific part hyperlinked from a user; A user input signal detector for detecting a signal from the user signal input unit and generating frame number of the moving image and position information on the frame; A hyperlink map database storing address information of a location of a set of video frames, location information of the frame, and detailed information on a specific part corresponding to the location information; A hyperlink map query device for receiving the frame number and the location information to query the hyperlink map database; A hyperlink mover that receives an address output from the hyperlink map query and accesses the address; And receiving frame number and position information from the user input signal detector and controlling the transfer to the hyperlink map inquiry, controlling the transfer of the address output from the hyperlink map inquiry to the hyperlink mover. It is preferable to include a control unit for controlling the video player to play the information of the access by controlling the hyperlink mover.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a block diagram of a configuration of a video playback apparatus having a hyperlink function according to the present invention. The control unit 100, the video player 110, the output unit 120, and the user input signal detector 130 are illustrated in FIG. , A user signal input unit 140, a hyperlink map queryer 150, a hyperlink map database 160, and a hyperlink mover 170.

The video player 110 is a device for playing an existing video, and may be a VTR, a TV receiver, a computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or the like. The output unit 120 outputs a video reproduced by the video player 110, and may be a TV receiver, a computer monitor, a PDA output device, or the like. The user signal input unit 140 is a device for inputting a user's signal, such as a mouse, a trackball, a remote control such as a TV, etc., and receives a signal from the user and transmits the signal to the user input signal detector 130. The user input signal detection unit 130 receives a signal from the user signal input unit 140 and displays a current time point (eg, a frame number to be reproduced at the moment when a signal is input) and two basic units of the video. Dimensional coordinates (x, y) are generated and transmitted to the controller 100.

The hyperlink map database 160 is an address of a location where detailed information about a set of frames, a sequential basic unit of a video, a two-dimensional coordinate region of the frame, and a specific part corresponding to the coordinate region is stored. Consists of The hyperlink map inquiring unit 150 receives the frame number and two-dimensional coordinates from the control unit 100, inquires the hyperlink map 160, finds an address of information related to the input location information, and controls the address of the hyperlink map 160. Return to The hyperlink mover 170 receives an address output from the hyperlink map inquiry 150 from the controller 100 and outputs information corresponding to the address to the video player 110 under the control of the controller 100.

The operation of the present invention will be described. First, prepare a video including hyperlink information to have a hyperlink function. Then, a hyperlink map database 160 having an address of a frame that forms a video, a two-dimensional coordinate of a specific part including a hyperlink on the frame, and an address where detailed information about the specific part is stored is constructed. Then, the video player 110 starts playing the video. Then, the user selects a specific part that wants more detailed information of the video currently being played through the input signal input unit 140.

Then, the hyperlink input signal detection unit 130 detects the frame number of the currently played video and the two-dimensional coordinates (x, y) on the video frame through the signal received from the user signal input unit 140 and transmits it to the controller 100. do.

The controller 100 drives the hyperlink map query 150, and the hyperlink map query 150 has the received frame number and the two-dimensional position coordinates (x, y) on the frame. Access 160 to query the address where the detailed information about the specific part is stored.

If the corresponding address is obtained through the hyperlink map database 160 through the inquiry, the controller 150 transmits the found address to the hyperlink mover 170. Then, the hyperlink mover 170 accesses the location corresponding to the address, and under the control of the controller 100, the video player 110 reproduces detailed information of the location stored at the address and outputs the output 120. )

On the other hand, in order to further diversify the present invention, the video reproducing apparatus having the hyperlink function downloads the information on the hyperlink map through the Internet from a TV receiver having an Internet access function, and receives the video information through the TV tuner. You can also download it.

In addition, hyperlink map information may be included in a track of an existing video tape, and hyperlink map information may be added to a digital video format (AVI, GIF, etc.) used in a computer. It is also possible to include a hyperlink in the caption information of the TV.

According to the present invention, it is possible to use the richer information by allowing the user to obtain more detailed information on a specific part selected by the user from the video being played while the video is being played.
