20090269028REPRODUCTION DEVICE AND PROGRAM - A playback apparatus plays back video data recorded on a recording medium such as a BD-ROM. The playback apparatus includes an interface in which a removable medium such as an SDRAM can be inserted, a detection module that detects that the removable medium is inserted, and a virtual file system. The virtual file system is used if the removable medium is detected to be inserted, if additional content such as subtitles is recorded on the removable medium, and furthermore if the additional content is associated with the video data recorded on the BD-ROM, etc. The virtual file system is used for dynamically combining the video data recorded on the BD-ROM, etc. and the additional content of the removable medium so as to play back a virtual package.10-29-2009
20100034516REPRODUCING APPARATUS, REPRODUCING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A playback device that creates a virtual package by combining a structural element recorded on a BD-ROM with an additional content recorded on a removable medium. The middleware in the playback device is provided with a file I/O module 02-11-2010
20100061702REPRODUCING APPARATUS - A playback device generates a virtual package in response to a construction request made by an application. After the virtual package is thus generated, a virtual file system 03-11-2010
20110052153REPRODUCTION DEVICE, REPRODUCTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A problem with high resource-consuming managed copy is that simultaneous execution of the managed copy, which is controlled by a playback device, and a BD-J application, which is recorded on a recording medium, leads to a shortage in resources. Provided is a playback device that enables simultaneous execution of the managed copy and the BD-J application while preventing resource contention therebetween, by imposing an access limitation on the disc medium by causing the BD-J application to assume that the disc medium has been virtually ejected.03-03-2011
20110299830APPLICATION RUNNING DEVICE - To provide an application life cycle management method for use in switching a movie work that is a playback target within a storage medium on which a plurality of movie works are stored, which is equivalent to one for use in replacement of BD-ROM discs. When a playback target is switched within a local storage on which a plurality of movie works are stored, a playback device, which includes an input unit for issuing a movie work switching request, performs processing with use of a user operation performed on the input unit as a trigger, instead of the medium status change between ejection and insertion. This allows application life cycle management equivalent to one in the case of BD-ROM disc replacement.12-08-2011
20110305435PLAYBACK DEVICE, RECORDING MEDIUM, PLAYBACK METHOD AND PROGRAM - A bytecode processing unit provided in a playback device is platform unit 12-15-2011
20110307448REPRODUCTION DEVICE - In conventional managed copy, files are copied to the copy destination, while maintaining the file structure of the copy source. A problem pertaining to the conventional managed copy is that, when a partial copy, which changes the file structure of the copy source, is performed, the created disc does not conform to the standard and thus cannot be played back by the playback device.12-15-2011
20120002520PLAYBACK DEVICE, RECORDING MEDIUM, PLAYBACK METHOD AND PROGRAM - A playback device reads a BD-J application from a BD-ROM and runs the BD-J application. The BD-J application causes, by using a socket connection API, the digital copy module of the playback device to execute copying of a protected content for portable terminals to a removable recording medium and setting of a resume playback point on the copied content. The resume playback point is specified by the BD-J application according to playback time information read from the PSR set.01-05-2012
