  • a computing system 12 that implements a media development framework system 14.
  • media e.g., a BD
  • the media development framework system 14 includes a processor 16 and other components as will be described, and may implement a user interface 18 through which a user may author a computer- readable medium.
  • the user interface 18 may include an editor 22, and the editor 22 may range from simple to complex, depending on the skill level and needs of the user.
  • a user may author media so as to implement a user-defined specification 24. In so doing, a user may employ a set of packages 26 defined for various levels.
  • a user-defined specification 24 may call for certain items to be placed on menus on a recordable media.
  • the user-defined specification 24 may call for movies and slideshows to be recorded on an optical disc such that a user may play back the same via activating elements on menus.
  • one or more packages 26 may be employed. These packages 26 are defined at various levels, users may choose which level packages to employ, and a user may employ packages from more than one level in a given application. The choice may be made dependent upon the level of detail at which the user must work to implement the user-defined specification 24. While the packages are described in greater detail below, it is noted that the same may be considered to include menu components 28, navigational components 32, call routine components 34, and a set of components 36 for other tasks.
  • the framework 38 includes a package 46 of classes for level I, a package 52 of classes for level II, a package 48 of classes for level III, and a package 54 of classes for level IV.
  • a library 44 may be provided for other classes or needed elements.
  • a set of asset files 39 is also provided, these including, e.g., play items and clips such as audio and video files for display and for use in the interactive application or audiovideo content.
  • a library of graphics primitives 56 is also provided, as are explained in greater detail below, for purposes of creating and implementing arbitrary user interface elements within the interactive application or audiovideo content.
  • the graphics primitives functionality may be located in one or more of the user interface classes or layout within the levels.
  • a disc image may be created and stored.
  • a format module 58 may be employed to provide any necessary data formatting and conversion.
  • the disc image which may be output from the format module 58, may then be stored on a computer-readable medium 64, such as by using a recordable media device 62.
  • the computer-readable medium 64 may include a settings file 66, described in greater detail below.
  • a first step is to provide access (step 72) to levels and packages, as well as the indwelling classes, as required by the levels.
  • elements may be provided on the user interface 18 corresponding to the levels that, when activated, bring up a set of packages appropriate to and available in the level.
  • elements may be provided on the user interface 18 corresponding to the packages that, when activated, bring up a set of classes available in the level.
  • the author then chooses and implements the classes corresponding to the functionality desired.
  • objects are instantiated corresponding to those classes.
  • a next step is that the system receives a user-defined specification for an interactive media application or for audiovideo content (step 74).
  • This reception of a user-defined specification may range from the simple to the complex. For example, this step may be met by a user indicating via the editor which asset files are to be included on the computer-readable medium, as well as how they are to be organized. The user may indicate one or more video files to be included on the media.
  • the user-defined specification will typically include not only video files, but also special features such as commentaries and other presentations ancillary to a main feature. In the case of BD-J media, interactive applications and features employing online resources may also be included. The provision of any or all of these may constitute the reception of a user- defined specification for an interactive media application.
  • the reception of a user-defined specification may also be the loading into memory of a file containing information about a prior-defined specification.
  • the reception may be a combination of a previously written specification and contemporaneous user modification to fit the needs of a current project.
  • a next step is to receive input from the user on the organization of the media, where the organization, layout, and usage employ functionality corresponding to at least one package (step 76).
  • the user creates the organization of the interactive media application or audiovideo content that will be implemented as a computer-readable medium.
  • the interactive media application may be a BD-J application, a video clip, a slideshow, an audio presentation, or the like.
  • the organization, layout, and usage of the interactive media application may correspond to the menu functionality and associated components, the navigational features and their components as provided, and the called routine components, including those employed to access external online resources, if any.
  • a final step is to create the disc image, e.g., a master disc image, and manufacture the computer-readable medium (step 78).
  • the computer-readable medium may be created in the absence of a step of creating a disc image. In Fig. 2, however, a disc image is created and a Blu-ray® disc is manufactured.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates a structure of an exemplary computer-readable medium, e.g., a BD.
  • An index table 82 provides a starting point and may be thought of as being at the highest level of the disc.
  • the index table 82 lists and in some cases can reference one or more movie objects 84 and one or more BD-J objects (BDJOs) 86.
  • the set of movie objects 84 refers to HDMV objects which run in the execution environment of the HDMV mode.
  • the set of BDJOs 86 refer to BDJOs that run in the procedural environment of the BD-J mode.
  • the movie objects 84 and BD-J objects 86 can each perform a number of functions, including launching playlists 88, 92, and 94, which in turn include and run one or more play items or clips 96, 98, 102, or 104.
  • a first step is to execute computer program instructions to provide a framework (step 106).
  • This step may be performed by the computing system, a workstation, or any other such authoring system configured as a tool for creating the application or video media.
  • the framework is as described above, including the provision of at least two levels of packages, the packages defining classes for use in creation of the interactive media application or media. In the implementation described here, four levels of packages are provided. However, this number is exemplary and more or less levels may be provided in any given implementation. In the current exemplary implementation, four levels is convenient as the same allow levels that are project-specific, studio-specific, a level generic to multiple studios, and a level generic to all BD-J applications.
  • a next step is to execute computer program instructions to receive a user-defined specification (step 108).
  • This step involves receiving various commands and inputs from the user regarding the user-defined specification.
  • These commands and inputs may be minimal in the case where the user-defined specification is minimal, e.g., where the interactive media application is simple or where the project is complex but re-uses a significant number of components from a prior similar project.
  • the user-defined specification is minimal, e.g., where the interactive media application is simple or where the project is complex but re-uses a significant number of components from a prior similar project.
  • a series of media e.g., several BDs containing episodes of a season of a television series
  • it may be desirable for the BDs to have a consistent appearance, varying little besides portraying thumbnails of different episodes.
  • the author may only need to change certain parameters at a level corresponding to the given episodes.
  • the user need not change parameters corresponding to the given television season, because such parameters would apply to all discs in the season. Nor would the user be required to change parameters corresponding to the given television series, because such parameters would again be consistent across all discs. It may further be that there are parameters that do not have to change, even above the series level, because the studio may desire some degree of consistency across all shows it generates.
  • a next step is to execute computer program instructions to create a disc image (step 112).
  • the user has entered that which is necessary to define the interactive media application or video media, which may be, e.g., a Blu-ray® title.
  • the same may then be employed, undergoing any necessary formatting or conversion, to create a disc image, e.g., a master disc image for use in creating and manufacturing computer-readable media embodying the interactive media application.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates instructions executed by the computing system in authoring an interactive media application or video media
  • Fig. 5 illustrates a flowchart 90 of the steps themselves. The actions, however, are similar and certain aspects of the description will not be repeated.
  • a first step is to provide a framework as described above (step 114).
  • a next step is to provide a user interface (step 1 16).
  • a next step is to receive a user-defined
  • step 1 18 this step encompasses all aspects of the user input as noted above. Consequently, once this step is finished, the user has completed the design and organization of the interactive media application or audiovideo content, and also has designated which asset files are to be included on the media. The next step is then to create a disc image (step 122).
  • a computing system 12 that may implement the invention.
  • the computing system 12 includes the processor 16, as has been described above.
  • the computing system 12 also includes the recordable media device 62, capable of creating suitable computer-readable media.
  • the computing system 12 further includes memory 124 bearing computer-readable instructions capable of instantiating a user interface for creating and editing an interactive media application or audiovideo content, or both for use in any given title.
  • the computing system 12 further includes memory 125 bearing computer-readable instructions capable of defining at least two levels of packages, each level capable of being employed in the creation of the application or content.
  • the computing system 12 further includes memory 126 bearing computer- readable instructions capable of defining at least one package within each of the at least two levels, which may be employed in the creation of the application or title, the package defining at least one class.
  • the computing system 12 includes memory 128 bearing computer-readable instructions capable of creating a disc image, the disc image including and embodying the interactive media application or audiovideo title.
  • the memories 124, 125, 126, and 128 typically constitute various types of dynamic random access memories in which their respective instructions are loaded at the time of operating the framework. However, as is known, such memories may also include disc storage, caches, or other temporary locations in which data may be stored or operated on.
  • the computing system 12 includes an input module 132 for creating an environment for creating and editing an interactive media application or audiovideo content or both.
  • the computing system 12 further includes an output module 134 for creating a disc image, the disc image including the interactive media application or audiovideo content.
  • the computing system 12 may further include a recording module 136 for creating a disc based on the disc image.
  • Fig. 8 indicates an exemplary package abstraction structure showing levels I-IV. Certain of the below indicated packages are described in the Appendix, which is provided as Figs. 9(A)-(D).
  • Level I is a default package 138.
  • Level I represents the highest level of abstraction, e.g., the project level and the basic logic pertinent to projects, and project- level customization occurs at this level. For example, a content workflow may be described at this level. Accordingly, the package 138 contains various project-specific classes as indicated in box 142. In many cases, a project worked on within level I will be based on a prior project, and simply modified to meet current needs.
  • a level II package 144 also termed a sub-package, represents a studio-specific abstraction level. This level generally includes functionality unique to a studio, and the same may span many projects. For example, for consistent branding, a studio may desire that a logo appear in the same place on all menus, or that all menus include a common number of buttons. The packages at this level may be used to meet such studio-specific needs. As with all levels, some customization may occur; for example, the usual number of buttons may be split across two screens if dictated by a particular project. This package may also make use of certain higher-level abstractions, but the same may generally be at a lower level than the level I package. Exemplary level II packages are shown in box 152.
  • the level III package 148 represents generic support functionality such as navigational buttons, widgets, or the like. In many cases, these may be the lowest level that need be accessed for most projects using the disclosed systems and methods.
  • the contents of the level III package are illustrated in box 152 and may includes classes that are common to most studios, including those pertaining to animation, media, and navigation.
  • the level IV package 154 generally provides for deeper levels of abstraction, and in generally need not be accessed for most projects. These deeper abstraction levels may include, e.g., the ability to work directly with JVM. Modifications at this level are often performed for reasons of compatibility. Examples of classes at this level of abstraction are illustrated in the figure.
  • the level IV package 154 may in some cases be thought of as including two sublevels. One sub-level 158 is to handle fundamental low-level functions, such as the loading of images. Another sub-level 162 is the level of the baseline BD-Java® code.
  • Levels I and II which represent the 'project' and 'studio' levels, respectively, complexity is minimized.
  • level IV is the most complex, and authoring at this level take place at the level of engineered coding. Prior authoring generally occurred using classes that may be found in such a Level IV.
  • Packages represent one or more classes, which may constitute blocks of code, the code corresponding to groups of applications, single applications, mini-application routines, or the like. Each class may generally be instantiated as objects when an interactive media application or audiovideo title is run. In some cases, custom code may be written in a given circumstance to couple or connect two packages together to provide corresponding custom functionality.
  • An advantage to having the level abstractions of the system and method is that the same allows any such problems that occur in a package to be fixed once for all. That is, in an authoring process, problems or errors generally arise at one of the four levels I-IV. Any solutions to such problems propagate to other uses of the package, eliminating the need to fix the same problem again in a later project.
  • Implementations of the invention may also include use of a "settings" file.
  • Fig. 10 illustrates an exemplary such "settings" file.
  • the same includes specific business logic in order to allow country - specific features and aspects to be conveniently enabled. That is, the engineer need only write one such settings file, with this functionality, and then simple modifications allow one country to be specified versus another.
  • a Blu-ray® disc sold in Japan may be structured in a different way than the same disc sold in North America, e.g., in terms of the mapping of the playlist, the sequence of the playlist, the copyright warning, and so on. These changes may be conveniently reflected and modified via the settings file.
  • a designer may add a trailer in a simplified way by again simply editing the settings file, requiring no or a minimum of programming skill.
  • a parental lockout level may be set using this file to disable access to certain content depending on the setting of the player.
  • the settings file may be generally loaded concurrently with the loading of the BD-J Java Archive or JAR.
  • Implementations of the invention may also provide a way to create arbitrary graphics elements by use of combinations of graphics primitives.
  • Fig. 11 illustrates how graphics abstractions may be employed at a primitive level in order to allow a designer to create a desired image to be displayed, e.g., a drawing API.
  • the graphics primitives may be employed as building blocks to create complicated images and to define relationships between objects, and in this way to create animations.
  • a simple case may be a single drawn line 163, as illustrated in Fig. 11.
  • the single drawn line 163 may be repeated and modified with a simple texture to build a simple block 165, which is a simple drawn texture.
  • the simple building block 165 can be used to create a button, illustrated in Fig. 11 as a "G" button 167.
  • the button 167 is not just a graphic image but also embodies functionality; upon clicking or activation, an action may be caused to occur.
  • the button 167 Once the button 167 is built, the same may be used and repeated to build a simple virtual keyboard 169.
  • the keyboard 169 is an even-more-complex case, and is composed of a combination of buttons, each with functionality.
  • Another important related abstraction concept is a provision for building playlists. That is, implementations are not just limited to building complicated and functional graphics elements from graphics primitives, but also the ability to define for playback a sequence of videos or to otherwise manage presentations.
  • functionality may be enabled such as picture-in-picture, simple menus, or the like.
  • a wide variety of use cases may be achieved in a short time using the framework.
  • such functionality may be employed to create quizzes or other games in any number of presentation formats.
  • the framework allows significantly enhanced flexibility and functionality. For example, if a user disables the picture-in-picture function and then re-enables the same, the display can start from the prior ending point, or at the beginning, or at another arbitrary location. This can be especially useful with picture-in-picture displays in which slides are displayed and where the same are interspliced with commentary, drawings, or other artwork. Further in the BD-J context, if the picture-in-picture display is undesiredly small, the same may be enlarged via use of BD-J graphics capabilities. More generally, the framework can be used to allow control via varying logical schemes.
  • implementations of the framework may be used for creating any type of application or video title on any type of media.
  • One implementation includes one or more programmable processors and corresponding computing system components to store and execute computer instructions, such as to execute the code that provides the framework functionality.
  • a representation of an exemplary computing environment is illustrated, e.g., a workstation 12.
  • a user can employ the workstation 12 to author a computer-readable medium 64 by executing an authoring system 14 which receives data as an input and outputs a disc image or a computer-readable medium such as a BD.
  • the workstation 12 includes a controller 176, a memory 174, storage 172, the media device 62, the user interface 18, an input/output (I/O) interface 166, and a network interface 168.

  • the controller 176 includes the programmable processor and controls the operation of the workstation 12 and its components.
  • the controller 176 loads instructions from the memory 174 or an embedded controller memory (not shown) and executes these instructions to control the system.
  • the controller 176 may provide the framework system 14 as, in part, a software system. Alternatively, this service can be implemented as separate modular components in the controller 176 or the workstation 12.
  • Memory 174 stores data temporarily for use by the other components of the workstation 12, and the same may include memories 124, 125, 126, and 128 discussed above.

While the use of a disk image has been discussed, it will be understood that certain recording methods do not require use of a disc image to create a disc such as a BD. While audiovideo content has been discussed, the same applies to content that embodies just audio data or just video data. Accordingly, the systems and methods may apply to any techniques used to create computer-readable media.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés qui fournissent un cadre d'applications, par exemple une boîte à outils basée sur Java®, qui propose divers niveaux d'abstraction selon les besoins du concepteur. Les niveaux d'abstraction sont chacun associés à un jeu de logiciels qui confèrent une fonctionnalité appropriée au niveau. Un utilisateur ou un concepteur accède aux logiciels de niveau dans le cadre d'applications et les utilise pour créer un support lisible par ordinateur souhaité, par exemple un disque Blu-ray® ou « BD ». D'autres aspects peuvent fournir une fonctionnalité correspondante ou complémentaire. Par exemple, le cadre d'applications analyse des primitives de dessin ou graphiques à des entités de niveau supérieur, permettant de les utiliser facilement dans la création d'éléments graphiques arbitraires. Dans un autre exemple, on peut utiliser un module logique commercial qui peut être personnalisé au moyen de fichiers de réglages.
