20080285950 | STILL PICTURE INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REPRODUCING STILL PICTURE INFORMATION THEREFROM - A technique is provided for reproducing information from a recording medium, on which there are recorded a plurality of picture information sets; presentation time values, each associated with a corresponding one of the picture information sets; picture information record marks, each of which is associated with a corresponding one of the presentation time values; clip information specifying what position on the recording medium is associated with each of the presentation time values; and reproducing order specifying information which specifies in what order the picture information sets are to be reproduced. Picture information is reproduced through the steps of detecting the presentation time value of a picture information set to be retrieved from the corresponding picture information record mark; using said clip information to detect the recording position on the recording medium which corresponds to the detected presentation time value; and reproducing picture information from the detected recording position. | 11-20-2008 |

20090041425 | REPRODUCING DEVICE - A reproducing device for playing back data from a recording medium, including: play back circuits for reading first stream data, which includes first video data, first audio data, and first subpicture data, from a recording medium; download data storage circuits for storing second stream data, which includes at least one of second video data, second audio data and second subpicture data downloaded via a network; and selection circuits for conducting at least one of: switching from said first video data to said second video data; switching from said first audio data to said second audio data, and switching from said first subpicture data to said second subpicture data; wherein data which is newly switched by said selection circuits and data which is not switched by said selection circuits are synchronously superimposed and outputted. | 02-12-2009 |
20090041427 | REPRODUCING DEVICE - A reproducing device for playing back data from a recording medium, including: play back circuits for reading first stream data, which includes first video data, first audio data, and first subpicture data, from a recording medium; download data storage circuits for storing second stream data, which includes at least one of second video data, second audio data and second subpicture data downloaded via a network; and selection circuits for conducting at least one of: switching from said first video data to said second video data; switching from said first audio data to said second audio data, and switching from said first subpicture data to said second subpicture data; wherein data which is newly switched by said selection circuits and data which is not switched by said selection circuits are synchronously superimposed and outputted. | 02-12-2009 |
20090231971 | REPRODUCING APPARATUS, PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A reproducing apparatus provided with identifying information acquisition means to read recording medium identify information recorded on a recording medium and a storage unit to store the recording medium identify information acquired by the identifying information acquisition means so that the recording media which have been played are registered as library information. When a recording medium is to be played, this library information is used to determine whether to allow bonus images to be reproduced. | 09-17-2009 |
20100149375 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FASTER RECORDING AND REPRODUCTION OF DIGITAL VIDEO IMAGES - The present invention provides a faster method and apparatus for recording and reproduction of a digital movie. The photographing apparatus includes both a recording unit and a reproducing unit for playback. Digital image data is produced by an imaging device as a sequence of frames. Because parameters (such as luminance and chrominance) that describe each frame are calculated and stored while the frames are being recorded, the parameters may be read upon playback by the reproducing unit of the present invention, thereby eliminating the need for redundant image processing. | 06-17-2010 |
20110156875 | Apparatus for and Method of Processing Data - An apparatus for processing data includes a plurality of signal processing units, each signal processing unit including a register that stores identification (ID) information to store a parameter, the signal processing units operative to sequentially perform an operation of storing the parameter or an operation of processing a signal in response to a mode control signal; a storage unit; a data reading unit that selectively reads parameter information or processing data from the storage unit; a data writing unit that selectively writes data corresponding to a data signal output by each of the signal processing units in the storage unit; and a control unit that outputs the mode control signal to each of the signal processing units. During the operation of storing the parameter, when the data signal corresponds to the ID information, each of the signal processing units writes a parameter included in the data signal in the register. | 06-30-2011 |
