As mentioned above, the memory 30 may include random access memory, regional cache memory, or other types of memory to effectively access the stored A / ν program data 32 so that the A / V stored in the memory 30 The program material 32 can be quickly transferred to the corresponding collection component 12 in the real-time environment 10. In short, the data manager 156 manages the storage and transmission of A / V program data 32 between the database 160 and the coffin storage system 34, and between the source component 10 and the collection component 12. For example, as will be described later, the breeder can be equipped with a memory capacity of $ 1, a series of A / V program data presentation to the user, or other preset criteria types or by 15 users Selection or decision criteria automatically transfer A / V program data 32 between the memory 30 and the file storage system 34. As shown in FIG. 5, the file storage system μ includes an optical media storage system 170. However, it is important to understand that other types of optical or non-optical data storage media and system types can be used as file storage systems 3 4. In Fig. 5, the optical media storage system 170 includes an optical media read / write module 172 and an optical media turntable Π4. Various optical media can be located on an optical media turntable m or can be accessed by the optical media turntable 174, and the optical media turntable 74 can be, but is not limited to, a CD or a DVD. In short, the optical media read / write module 172 controls writing, reading, and other information operations on the optical media 25 200539621 176 stored on the optical media turntable 174. As shown in FIG. 5, the database 16 of the memory 30 contains A / v program data 32 and management data 18. The management data 18 includes information related to the transmission and management of the A / V program data 32 between the memory 30, the file storage system 34, and the collection module 12. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the management data 18 includes header data 182, recording time 184, extraction time 186, and presentation time 188. The header data 182 contains information associated with the A / V program material 32, a title or other type of information identifying the A / V program material 32, and / or, in the case of a television album, the A / V program Information related to the number of subsequent episodes of the news. The recording time 184 contains information associated with the reception time and / or the recording time of the A / V program data.

The extraction time 186 contains information related to the time when the specific A / V program material 32 was retrieved from the file storage system 34. The presentation time 188 15 contains information related to the presentation of the A / V program material 32 to a user via the presentation device 14. ‘Guest material management’ in operation 15 6 Controls the movement and transmission of A / V program data 32 between the memory 30 and the slot storage system. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the data management ^ § 156 includes a data writer 190 and a data extractor 192. Data 〇 The write state 90 controls and interfaces the optical media read / write module 172 to transmit A / V program data 32 from the memory 30 to the slot management system 34. The data extractor 192 controls and interfaces the optical media read / write module 172 to extract A / V program data 32 from the audit storage system 34. In some embodiments, the data manager 156 is configured to automatically transmit the A / V program data 32 file storage system 34 set in the memory 30 2005200521 21 when the storage limit of the memory 30 reaches the pre-set limit. Therefore, in operation, the data manager 156 controls the transmission and storage of the A / V Langmu data 32, from the memory 30 to the optical medium 176 of the file storage system 34 via the data writer wo, as shown in FIG. 5 and 5 The A / V program data is 200, and when one of the memories 30 reaches a predetermined limit. In addition, the data management device 156 can be configured to automatically transmit A / ν program data 200 from the file storage system 34 to the memory 3 when the storage capacity of one of the memory 30 falls below a predetermined threshold. . In response to a specific A / V program material 32 and / or 200 request, the data management server 156 controls the transmission of the selected A / V program material 32 and / or 200 via the network 18 to the assembly module 12 . For example, the data manager 156 provides an interface for the assembly component 12 to identify, select, and / or perform other operations related to the A / V program material 32 and / or 200 available from the source component 16. If the selected data includes the A / V program data 200 stored on the slot storage system 34, the data manager ΐ55 controls and manages the extraction of the selected A / V program data 200 from the file storage system 34 via the data extractor 192, The selected A / ν program material 200 is transmitted to the corresponding collection component 12. The data manager 156 may also be configured to automatically transfer the A / V program data 32 from the memory 30 to the storage system 34 according to the relationship between the received A / ν program data 32. For example, the data manager 156 may be configured to automatically identify the relevant a / v program data 32 based on the header data 182, or the recording time. As mentioned previously, the header data 182 contains information identifying the source, follow-up, identification, or other type of information that can be used by the data manager 156 to identify and correct a particular a / v program material 32. The data manager 156 may also use the recording time 184 to identify the relationship between the received A / V program material 32 of 2005200521. For example, in the case of a television album, the recording time 184 may show that the specific program material 32 is received corresponding to a preset or pre-recorded interval, so that the related A / ν program material 32 can be identified. in accordance with. According to the relationship between the received A / V program data 32, the specific A / V section 5 item data 32 can be transferred from the memory 30 to the file storage system 34 and stored.

20 On the optical media 176, such as the relevant A / V program material 202. For example, in the case of the TV movie, 'corresponding to the a / v program data 32 received or stored later in the episode may be stored in the marrow storage system 34, while corresponding to the A / V received or stored earlier in the episode. The program data 32 can be stored in the memory 3 (), so that Zheng Kuai's earlier access to the A / v program data M received or stored earlier is presented to the user and therefore stored in the coffin storage system M. The A / γ program data 202 can be extracted by the storage system to adapt to the presentation of the related A / V program data 202 corresponding to the subsequent broadcast album. In addition, the 'data manager i 5 6 can be configured to automatically extract the relevant A / Vf item 2 () 2 from the file storage system 34 and store the correlation according to the selected A / V program data η presented to the user. a / v program data is moved to memory%. For example, the data manager 156 can be configured to monitor the a / v program data from the collection module 12 to the transmission of the device 14 or another collection module can be configured to transmit-signal to the source module 16 to indicate the AW program information 3 of 2 teleport. The selected Α / ν program ㈣32 via the presentation device ⑽ the user can store the time in the database 16Q as the presentation time. . Because of two = on, the data manager 156 monitors the presentation of the a / v program material 32 and the presentation of the desired A / ν program ㈣32 via the presentation device 14, the data management system automatically extracts the relevant AW from the case storage system 34. The program data is moved to 28 200539621 and is effectively accessed by the user so that the related A / V program data 202 can be easily presented. 10 Therefore, for example, in the case of a television album, the earlier subsequent album is stored in the memory 3 () as Α / ν program asset_, and the later subsequent album is stored in the case storage system 34 as the relevant A / ν show Zi Shi a. In order to present to the user effective albums in response to the company ’s data, the data manager monitors the special post-, post-, and post-monitors, and once the specific follow-up is presented to the user, the data management 156 automatically starts; The storage system is extracted next time-back to follow and stored in the next back to 3G. As mentioned above, the header data 182, the recording time 1 or other information §fl can be used in the data manager 156 to identify the related data 32 and 202. Therefore, according to the broadcast sequence of the A / v program f Jinsong, the data management H156 can effectively and continuously present the broadcast sequence_continued program data. The data manager 156 may also be configured to automatically transmit the A / ν program data 32 from the memory 30 to the building case storage system 34 when the A / v data presentation time exceeds a predetermined time. For example, the extraction time ⑽ and / or the presentation time 188 may include the time elapsed from receiving the memory% mid-foot data from an external source or the storage system 34 to presenting the A / V data to the user via the presentation device 14 = Period related. Therefore, if the elapsed time period exceeds the predetermined period, the data 20 manager 156 may be configured to automatically transmit A / V data to the file storage system 34. FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of the A / ν component network method according to the present invention. The method begins at block 300, where the aggregation component 12 receives a user's request to access A / V program data 32.

If the communication network 18 cannot communicate with the source component 16, the method proceeds to block 31. If the communication network 18 is available for communication with the source component 16, the method proceeds to block 308, where at least one of a plurality of communication networks 18 available for communication with the source component 16 is selected. For example, different types of communication networks 18 can be used to communicate with different source components 16, so that the network interface 44 of the aggregation component 12 manages the communication to each corresponding source component 16 via the different communication network 18. The selection of a specific type of communication network may be based on the type and identification of the specific source component 16, the type of A / v program data 32 transmitted from the corresponding source component, or other predetermined or user-selected criteria. At block 310, the source component register 70 of the collection component 12 performs a login operation to identify the accessible and / or available source component 16. In decision block 312, it is determined whether the user has selected a specific source component 16. As such, the assembly component 12 can assign gametes to the user a list of available source components for accessing the available A / ν program data 32, allowing the user to choose—specifically, the original component 16. If the user does not identify a specific source component 16, the method proceeds to block 314, where the collection component 12 identifies A / V program data 32 from each available and temporarily stored source component, so that a list of available A / V program data 32 can be Presented to the user, and the identification corresponding to the source component 16 can be maintained for the user and easy to see. In the decision block 312, if the user selects a specific source component 30 200539621 16, the method proceeds to block 318, where the collection component 12 accesses the selected source and piece 16. In block 320, the aggregating component 12 identifies the% of available A / V data from the selected source component. In decision block 322, it is determined whether or not it can be displayed to the user to view a list of 5 available A / V program data 32 lists. For example, the user may input the device 50 and / or the wheel-out device 52 to communicate with the assembly component 12. If it can be used by the user to display on the output device 50 and / or output device 52 to communicate with the aggregation component, the method proceeds to 324, where the available aggregate A / γ program data 32 is displayed on the corresponding input and / or output device 50, 52 to the user. If it is not possible to use 10 to communicate with the aggregation component 12 on the display of the turn-in and / or output devices 50, 52, the method proceeds to 326, where the aggregation component transmits a list or available aggregate A / V Langmu data 32. The viewable presentation is via an associated presentation device 14 and the user. 4. For example, if the corresponding presentation device 14 includes a television, monitor, or other type of visual display device, the aggregated list of available A / V program materials 32 may be presented to the user using the connected presentation device 14. In block 328, the aggregation component 12 receives a user's selection of a particular A / γ program material 32. In block 330, the aggregation component 12 accesses the corresponding source component 16 for the selected A / V program material 32. In block 332, the aggregation component 12 accesses the selected A / V program material 32 from the corresponding source component 16. In block 334, the assembly 20 set 12 identifies the format of the selected A / V program material 32. In block 336, the presenting device register 76 performs a login operation to identify available and / or accessible non-presenting devices 14 to present the selected A / V program data 32 to the user. As mentioned above, a list of available presentation devices 14 can be selected by the user, or if multiple presentation devices 14 cannot be used as a collection component] [2, a preset 31 200539621 may be automatically selected. In block 338, the collection component 12 receives a selection of the specific presentation device µ to present the selected A / V program material 32 to the user. In block 340, the aggregation component 12 obtains the selected A / V program material 32 from the corresponding source component. At block 342, the decoder 60 of the assembly module 12 decodes the selected A / V program material 32 for display on the selected presentation device 14. For example, in the foregoing, the decoder 60 may access the formatted data 96 and / or the presentation device 90 to determine decompression, decryption, formatting, and other presentation of selected A / v program data 32 on a particular presentation device 14 Required data control operations. In block 344, the aggregation component 12 transmits the decoded A / V program material 32 to the selected presentation device 1410 for presentation to the user. The flow chart in FIG. 7 illustrates another embodiment of a component network method. The method begins at block 400, where a source component 16 receives a request for a particular A / V program material 32 from a collection component 12. In the box technique, the data manager 156 of the source stage 16 requested or selected the A / v program data%. 15 Block 4G4 The transmission of the A / ν program data μ identified by the 'data officer II' request via the communication network 18 to a specific aggregation module 12. Block 406, the data manager 156 accesses the slot storage system%. In decision block 408, it is determined whether the relevant A / ν program data 202 is located in the slot storage system 34. If the relevant A / V program data 202 is located in the file storage system%, the method 20 may proceed to the decision block. 41〇, it judges that the requested W program material & = has been presented to the user. If the requested A / v program f material 32 has not been presented to the user via a king device u, this method proceeds from box 41 to box criminal ', and the medium data manager 156 monitors the requested A / v program information. The king of those is now. As mentioned above, the system 10 can be configured so that the source component M monitors and 32 200539621 the communication and aggregation component 12 to determine whether the requested A / V program material 32 has been presented to the user. In addition, once the requested A / V program material 32 is presented to the user via the presentation device, the collection component 12 may be configured to send a signal to the source component 16 to instruct the presentation of the requested A / V program material 32. If the requested a / v 5 program material 32 has been presented to the user, this method proceeds to block 414, where the data manager 15 6 extracts the relevant a / v program information 202 from the file storage system 34 and stores the relevant a / v The program information 202 is in the memory 30. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the A / ν component network method according to the present invention. The method begins at block 500 where the source component 16 receives 10 A / V program material 32. As mentioned before, the received A / v program material 32 may be obtained from a number of different information sources, such as a satellite communication network, a DVD, the Internet, or a wireless broadcast. At block 502, the data manager 156 identifies the received A / V program data 32. For example, as described above, the data manager 156 may use the header data 182 or other types of information to identify the received A / v program data 15 32. As described in block 504, determine whether the recently received A / ν program data is related to the A / V program data set in the memory 30. If the recently received A / V program data is not related to the A / V program in the memory 30 The method proceeds to block 514 'where the data manager 156 stores the recently received A / V 20 program data in the memory 30 in the memory 30. If the A / V program data 32 in the memory 30 and the most recent The received A / V program data 32 is related, and the method proceeds to block 506, where the data manager 156 determines the most recently received A / v program data 32 and a sequence of A / V program data stored in a memory 30 Relationship. For example, as described in the previous TV album information, other continuous or subsequent content, the data manager 33 200539621 156 can access the header 182, record time 4, or other information to determine the order of the content. Decision block 508, Determine whether the most recently received A / v program data 32 is later than the A / v program data 32 stored in memory 30. If the most recently received 5 A / V program data 32 is later than stored in memory 30. Eight / ¥ program poor material 32, method march Block 51. The data manager 156 stores the most recently received A / V program data 32 in the file storage system 34 as the related A / V program data 202. If the most recently received A / V program data 32 is earlier than stored in order In the A / V program data 32 of the memory 30, the method proceeds to block 10512, where the data manager 156 transmits the data stored in the memory 30iA / v to the file storage system 34. The method proceeds to block 514, where the data The manager stores the recently received A / V data in the memory 30. The flowchart in FIG. 9 shows an embodiment of another A / v component network method according to the present invention. The method starts at block 600. The collection module 12 receives a request from the user 15 to access the A / V program data 32. Block 602, the source module register 70 of the collection module 16 performs a login operation to identify the available source module 16 coupled to the collection module 12.
