Description
- This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/876,793, filed Jun. 7, 2001; the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a recording medium having a data structure for managing reproduction of menu data and recording reproducing apparatuses and methods.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a conventional DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) player capable of reproducing a DVD and providing the reproduced data for a digital television set. The
player 100 of FIG. 1 comprises anoptical pickup 2 reading signals recorded in aDVD 1; ananalog signal processor 3 binarizing the read signals after compensating levels of the signals; adigital signal processor 4 restoring the binarized signals into digital data; a parser 5 separating the restored data into encoded video, sub-picture, and audio data; avideo decoder 6 decoding the encoded video data to non-compressed original video data; a sub-picture decoder 7 decoding the sub-picture data; anaudio decoder 8 decoding the encoded audio data to non-compressed original audio data; and are-encoder 9 encoding the decoded audio and mixed data of the decoded video and sub-picture data again to audio and video streams whose format is suitable to adigital television set 200. - In the
DVD player 100, the signals read by thepickup 2 are restored to original video and audio data and then re-encoded to an A/V stream acceptable to thedigital TV set 200. The acceptable data stream is transmitted to thedigital TV set 200, which presents the received video and audio data of the data stream through its screen and speaker, respectively. - The read and separated sub-picture data, which includes captions and menu data, are mixed, after being decoded, with the decoded original data from the
video decoder 6, and are re-encoded to a TV acceptable A/V data stream. Therefore, thedigital TV set 200 should be able to separate sub-picture data from the mixed video data and process it in order to present menu picture and/or captions for titles and/or chapters recorded in theDVD 1 on its screen. - However, in general, a digital TV set does not function to separate and decode sub-picture data for a menu, and present it with a background picture in still for a user's menu selection. In addition, it does not have a menu supporting function such as highlighting a specific window on a full screen according to an arbitrary selection from a user. Therefore, in order to construct a menu screen, a DVD player has to search both video data for background and sub-picture data for menu items such as highlighted box, etc.; and then decode each data, mix them, and re-encode the mixed data to produce a data stream suitable to a digital TV set.
- However, such operations have a drawback that very complicated hardware is required for constructing a menu screen.
- In the meantime, a reproducing/recording apparatus of a high-density recording medium such as a high-density DVD (called ‘HDVD’ hereinafter), whose recording format standard is under discussion among related companies, is most likely to be connected with a digital TV set to make a presentation of recorded high-quality moving pictures much better. Thus, a new efficient method, other than the above, is urgently required in order that titles or chapters recorded in a high-density recording medium may be selected in a menu displayed on a digital TV set.
- The recording medium according to the present invention includes a data structure for managing reproduction of menu data recorded on the recording medium.
- In one exemplary embodiment, a menu data area of the recording medium stores one or more thumbnail pictures as menu data.

The read A/V data are VSB-modulated by there-modulator 13 to be transmitted to adigital television set 210. If menu display is requested, menu data are selected for reading out by thecontroller 14. Therefore, corresponding menu data are read by thereading unit 12 and are then VSB-modulated and transmitted. This menu data will be presented as a still picture by thedigital television set 210. - FIG. 3 is another schematic block diagram of a HDVD player and a digital television set to which another embodiment of the present invention is applicable.
- A
HDVD player 120 of FIG. 3 comprises areading unit 32 searching real-time A/V data and menu video data, which have been encoded with MPEG II standard, on arecording medium 31, and reading out this data; an OSD (On Screen Display)data generator 34 generating OSD data, which will be mixed with menu video data in a digital television set to highlight a menu item or display a text, based on menu management information written in aHDVD 31; acontroller 35 controlling thereading unit 32 and theOSD data generator 34 according to a user's request; and aninterfacing unit 33 transmitting A/V data from thereading unit 32 through an isochronous channel of IEEE 1394 standard and OSD data from theOSD data generator 34 through an asynchronous channel, respectively. - The OSD data generated by the OSD
data generator 34 satisfies the standard EIA775 for OSD data transmission. - A
digital television set 220 of FIG. 3 comprises aninterfacing unit 41 receiving A/V data and OSD data from theHDVD player 120 through isochronous and asynchronous channels, respectively; anMPEG decoder 42 decoding the received A/V data to original video and audio data, if included; amixer 44 mixing the received OSD data and the decoded video data; and a presentingunit 43 presenting the decoded video and audio data. - The
controller 35 of theHDVD player 120 controls thereading unit 32 to select a data type according to various user requests and to reproduce the recorded data of the selected type. The real-time A/V data and menu video data, which are for selecting a chapter or a title written in the HDVD 31, read by thereading unit 32 are transmitted to thedigital television set 220 through the isochronous channel. In the case that menu video data are transmitted, theOSD data generator 34 generates OSD data for displaying a specific window as highlighted or for displaying descriptive text of a chapter or title item based on the read menu video data and the menu management information, and transmits the generated OSD data through asynchronous channel of theinterfacing unit 33. - The
digital television set 220 decodes the received A/V data and the menu video data using theMPEG decoder 42. The decoded data are mixed with OSD data, if received, by themixer 44, and then presented through the presentingunit 43. The menu video data are displayed in still picture with the received OSD data which will be explained below. - FIG. 4 depicts hierarchical data structure recorded in a high-density recording medium according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- The high-density recording medium is partitioned into a file system area and video zone. The video zone contains several titles and VMG (Video Manager) data, which consist of A/V menu data for VMG and navigation data for the A/V menu data. Each title consists of real-time A/V presentation data and their navigation data, which includes general information and menu information. The presentation data consist of A/V menu data for a title and real-time A/V data of the title contents.
- The A/V menu data for VMG included in the VMG data are for a top menu whose menu items are selection and/or alteration of title and disk information item, whereas the A/V menu data for titles included in the presentation data are for a sub menu whose menu items are selection and/or alteration of information of chapters belonging to a title items.
- The A/V menu data for VMG may be partitioned into two menu sections of A/V menu data for VMG and A/V menu data for titles as shown in FIG. 5.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, an appropriate A/V menu data for selecting a title or a chapter recorded in a high-density recording medium with reference to menu navigation data written as above is read out, and the read A/V menu data is transmitted to a digital television set to be presented thereon. This method is described hereinafter in detail.
- The menu supporting method to be explained is for the configuration of FIG. 3, which has an OSD function observing EIA775 standard and
IEEE 1394 interface able to send/receive OSD data. - If a single menu page consists of six menu items of four thumbnails for titles and two direction icons to switch to a previous or a next menu page as shown in FIG. 6, then video menu data for each different basic menu page in which four thumbnails for four different titles and two icons will have been written as A/V menu data for VMG. The menu management information, which is used to generate OSD data necessary for indicating which menu item, that is, which title thumbnail is selected, has also been included in the A/V menu data for VMG. A thumbnail icon of a title or a chapter is composed of image data sampled from a picture included in a corresponding title or chapter as shown in FIG. 6.
- Data of each basic menu page are grouped into a single high-density stream object (called ‘HOB’ hereinafter) as shown in FIG. 10.
- In the case that menu data have been written as aforementioned, if six selected cases for a single menu page (for selecting one among
titles 1 to 4) are to be furnished, one basic menu page is read and provided for a digital TV set. Also, mutually different OSD data for differentiating (e.g., highlighting) a selected menu item are generated based on a user's selection and related menu management information, and then provided to the digital TV set. - To be brief, the six cases for item selection shown in FIG. 7 are built up by one basic menu page and six different OSD data.
- Another menu supporting method to be explained is for the configuration of FIG. 2 in which a VSB-modulated signal is transmitted from a HDVD player to a digital TV set.
- If a single menu page consists of six menu items of four thumbnails for titles and two direction icons like as in the above example, video data for six menu pictures will have been written for one menu page, for example, for selecting one among
titles 1 to 4. Each menu picture is to distinguish which menu item is selected in a menu page. - To be brief, the six cases for item selection shown in FIG. 7 are built up by six mutually different menu pictures.
- In this menu supporting method, data of each menu picture are grouped into a HOB.
- FIG. 8 is menu data stream format recorded for the case that menu data are delivered through VSB modulation.
- Menu data of all menu pictures, which are recorded in the format of an MPEG II transport stream, form a plurality of HOBs, called ‘VMG HOBs’. The VMG HOBs consist of a HOB containing the first menu picture for the first menu item selected in the first menu page, next HOB containing the second picture for the second menu item selected in the first menu page, . . . , and the last HOB containing the last picture for the sixth menu item selected in the last menu page. A null data pack may be inserted between menu pictures, that is, neighboring two HOBs.
- In addition, the address information of start (‘Menu_P_HOB_SA’s #11,#12, . . . , #n6, . . . ) and end (‘Menu_P_HOB_EA’s #11,#12, . . . , #n6, . . . ) for each menu HOB is written as the navigation data for the A/V menu data.
- If an arbitrary menu item is selected by a user from the menu displayed according to a menu request, the
controller 14 of theHDVD player 110 determines which menu picture is to be displayed based on the selected item and the menu management information. Thecontroller 14 reads start and end addresses of a HOB associated with the determined menu picture from the menu navigation data. Referring to the read addresses, thecontroller 14 reads a data stream corresponding to a menu picture in which the selected menu item has been highlighted, and controls thereading unit 12 to select menu picture data instead of a real A/V data stream. Through these operations, a menu picture in which a selected menu item is differentiated distinctively from others is transmitted VSB-modulated, and displayed onto a screen of thedigital television set 210. - In order that a menu picture may be displayed in still, data for a single menu picture consists of single Intra-coded picture (called an ‘I-picture’ hereinafter) and one or more predictive coded pictures (called ‘P-pictures’ hereinafter) as shown in FIG. 9. The P-picture represents a same picture as the I-picture, however, as is well-known, the data of a P-picture is compressed in a different manner than an I-picture. When transmitting data of a menu picture, one or more P-pictures may be sent sequentially, more than once, after the preceding I-picture is sent. The operation of transmitting an I-picture once and then one or more P-pictures is conducted repeatedly until another menu page or another menu item is selected by a user.
- Therefore, the digital television set receives I-pictures and P-pictures continuously and displays the same page contents repeatedly. As a result, a menu page is presented to a user as a still picture without a special operation of a digital television set.
- FIG. 10 is menu data stream format recorded for the case that OSD data for differentiating a menu item from others are delivered through digital interface of
IEEE 1394. - In the data configured as FIG. 10, the VMG HOBs, which contain menu data of the MPEG II transport stream format, consist of a HOB containing the first menu page, a next HOB containing the second menu page, . . . , and the last HOB containing the last menu page. A null data pack may be appended to each menu page except the last page, that is, inserted between two neighboring HOBs. In addition, the address information of start (‘Menu_P_HOB_SA’s #1,#2, . . . , #n, . . . ) and end (‘Menu_P_HOB_EA’s #1,#2, . . . , #n, . . . ) addresses for each menu HOB is written as the navigation data for the A/V menu data. As will be appreciated, this address information provides an indication of the size of each new menu HOB. As will be further appreciated, the number of starting and ending address pairs also provides an indication of the number of menu HOBs (i.e., the number of thumbnail pictures).
- If an arbitrary menu page is requested from a user, the
controller 35 of theHDVD player 120 determines which menu page is to be displayed based on the menu management information, and reads start and end addresses of a HOB associated with the determined menu page from the menu navigation data. Referring to the read addresses, thecontroller 35 reads a data stream corresponding to a menu page to be transmitted through the isochronous channel of theinterfacing unit 33. At the same time, thecontroller 35 searches the menu management information for information on highlighting a menu item selected in the transmitted menu page or displaying descriptive text of a selected menu item, and generates EIA775 standard-conformed OSD data corresponding to the information through theOSD data generator 34. This OSD data are transmitted to a digital television set through the asynchronous channel of theinterfacing unit 33. - As with the explanation for the case of FIG. 9, the transmitted data of a menu page are also composed of an I-picture and one or more P-pictures, which are sent in their recorded order, and repeatedly, as shown in FIG. 11. The unique difference between the cases of FIGS. 9 and 11 is that a basic menu page in which an OSD data will emphasize a selected menu item is transmitted in FIG. 11 whereas a menu picture in which a selected menu item has been already marked distinctly is sent in FIG. 9.
- The above explained embodiments of the present invention provide for management of a selection menu for a high-density recording medium that a digital television set displays as a still picture. The embodiments further provide for differentiating the display of a selected menu item distinctly from other menu items so that it is possible for a user to know which menu item is selected at present and to choose a menu item of a title or a chapter to be reproduced from a high-density recording medium.
- The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the sprit or essential characteristics thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
