Embodiment

Like what below will further describe, implementation of the present invention provides writing to meet the resulting structure and the configuration of the articles of media of specific criteria.In one implementation, Blu-ray Disc (BD) authoring system execution command allows the user to store the information based on the BD standard criterion with the file that parallel mode generates content to utilize.

After reading this instructions, those skilled in the art will understand how to realize the present invention in various implementations with in using.But,, will be understood that only non-limited way provides these implementations through by way of example though will describe various implementation of the present invention here.Therefore, the detailed description for various implementations should not be construed as restriction scope of the present invention or range that appended claims proposed.

In one implementation, BD ROM (read-only memory) (BD-ROM) standard provides the plurality of data structures for dish can need be defined by expection work on BD.The BD-ROM normalized definition BD prerecord (BD Prerecoded) and BD can write down (BD Recorable) application format.

Fig. 1 provides the general introduction of BD-ROM data structure 100.Generally speaking, BD-ROM has following being used to and manages four layers of AV stream file: concordance list 110, movie objects/BD-J object 120, playlist 130 and fragment 140.

Example index table 200 shown in Figure 2 is a kind of senior list structures, the title of its definition BD-ROM dish.Title is corresponding to any clauses and subclauses in the concordance list, comprises first playback 210, top menu 220 and title 230,232,234,236,238.First playback 210 is used to carry out automatic playback by the content provider.Each index table entries is linked to movie objects 240,242,244,246 or BD-Java (BD-J) object 250,252.(for example when title search or menu call operation are called) was with reference to this table when disk player will be performed at title.

Movie objects comprises executable lines of codes or the navigation command that enables dynamic scenario is described.Therefore, as shown in Figure 3, the navigation command in the movie objects (for example 300) can start playlist playback 310 or another movie objects 320.This makes the content provider to define one group of movie objects according to user's mutual and preference, is used for the playback of managing playlist.

When with dish on concordance list in the title of BD-J object associated when being selected, respective application is started automatically, and its life cycle (1ifecycle) is bound to title.It is Java Xlet that BD-J uses, and it is controlled by the application manager of BD-ROM player through the Xlet interface.The Xlet interface has following four kinds of states: loading, time-out, movable and breaking-up.In case BD-J uses and damaged, any resource (for example storer and AV control) of then distributing to it all is released.

Playlist shown in Fig. 4 (i.e. " movie playlist ") the 400,402,404, the 406th, indication is with which part of plays clip and when play the broadcast set at interval in the fragment 410,412,414 of this fragment.Such broadcast is called as play item (PlayItem) (for example 420) at interval and includes point (IN-point) (for example 422) and go out point (OUT-point) (for example 424), wherein go into a little and go out a little in each this fragment of indication position on time shaft.Go into an indication and play starting point at interval, play end point at interval and go out an indication.

Return with reference to figure 1, AV stream file and related Database Properties thereof are considered to an object.In the context of BD-ROM data structure, the AV stream file is called as Segment A V stream file 144, and related database attribute file is called as clip information file 142.The object that comprises Segment A V stream file 144 and corresponding clip information file 142 thereof is called as fragment 140.

Clip information file 142 has been stored the timestamp of the accessing points of respective segments AV stream file 144.The BD player reads clip information file 142 should begin from the position of Segment A V stream file 144 reading of data to find it.Therefore, between Segment A V stream file 144 and clip information file 142, there is one-one relationship.

Fig. 5 is the block diagram that comprises the exemplary fragment 500 of Segment A V stream.In the example of Fig. 5, fragment 500 comprises four kinds of streams, promptly video flowing 502, audio stream 504, present graphical stream 506 and interactive graphic stream 508.In other implementations, fragment 500 can comprise the stream of different numbers and dissimilar stream.For example, fragment 500 can comprise main video flowing, auxiliary video stream and additional patterns stream.Fragment also can have stream still less, and for example, fragment 500 possibly not comprise audio stream or video flowing or graphical stream.

In one implementation, BD authoring system (BDAS) provides file.Authoring system allows the user to create project usually, and said project is used to generate the content of dish such as DVD, BD-ROM or HD-DVD.Each project is a data sets, and this data acquisition can be the gathering of content of one or more dishes.Usually, all data that in project, define all are placed on the dish that defines in the project.Some writing is used and possibly presented the odd-job zone to the user.In addition, most of authoring systems are single user's authoring systems, and wherein each project is once only by people's operation.There being many people to need under the situation of operation item, need set up a plurality of parallel projects, these parallel projects subsequently will be by manual combination.But this has following shortcoming: the same regular collection that all users of project receive when setting up project, to use retrains.Therefore, possibly have to carry out a large amount of unnecessary work, so that finish the work with parallel mode.

BDAS propose to use " file " to overcome these and other problems.File is to allow the upper layer entity of user with the parallel mode content creating.Depend on the content that will be placed into file, can obtain dissimilar files.Different folder type are created, so that to the people's optimization work stream that uses this document folder.BDAS also provides the data that are used for synchronizing project and the mechanism of the data in the file, and is easy thereby the data combination between the project of making and the file becomes.BDAS had both supported the importing data of the project that clips to from file, also supported the derived data from the project to the file.

In addition, BDAS provides and has been used for the data that file exists are linked to the data in the project and the data in the project are linked to the mechanism of the data in the file, so that anabolic process is easier.Link data between project and file for example when one of them is modified, can present visual cues not simultaneously.

Fig. 6 is the figure that the many aspects of exemplary items are shown.As shown in Figure 6, project 602 can be shown as bibliographic structure.Project generally includes at least one dish 604.In this example, project 602 comprises two dishes, promptly coil 1 with the dish 2.In other embodiments, project can comprise the dish of single disc or arbitrary number.For example, if project is very big, then possibly need additional disk.

In Fig. 6, dish 2 is unfolded so that the sub-directory that it comprises the content on the representative dish to be shown, and said sub-directory for example is sign 606, positive (feature) 608, trailer 610 and menu 612.The additional detail of content or particular content can be included in below each in these sub-directories.For example, logo subdirectory 606 can comprise video flowing and audio stream.Positive can comprise video flowing, English and spanish audio stream and captions.In addition, menu can comprise a plurality of pages.

Project 602 among Fig. 6 can be created by the client or the producer of project.When project 602 was created first, it served as the outline which content is final project should comprise.For example, initial project can comprise sign, under logo subdirectory, has the additional child directories to video and audio frequency.But practical video and audio file need not be included in the project this moment.In other words, these sub-directories can serve as subsequently will project between development stage by user or placeholder (placeholder) that other people fill.

The client sketches the contours of the basic structure that they hope that project is deferred to.For example, the client knows that they hope to make positive to comprise English and Spanish, thereby the user can select in the bilingual any one when watching positive.The client can provide additional detail in project 602 so that operate this project 602 other people can provide additional input to help the final version of establishment project 602, like what below will further describe.

Fig. 7 is the figure that the further processing of project is shown.After sketching the contours of project 602 at first, can the spanned file folder.In Fig. 7, menu 612 sub-directories are unfolded, so that the additional child directories under the page 1 and the page 2 to be shown.Menu page 1 comprises and is used to select to play the menu that positive still is a trailer that menu page 2 comprises that being used to select English still is the menu of spanish audio.

In this example, the information of definition menu page 1 and menu page 2 will be provided by different entities.For example, two menus possibly provided by two different suppliers, are perhaps provided by two different individuals for same supplier's work.Because menu will be provided by different entities, therefore generate two files 702 and 704.First file 702 comprises the required a plurality of parts of entity that menu page 1 is provided in the whole project, and second file 704 comprises the required a plurality of parts of entity that menu page 2 is provided in the whole project.

For example, in first file 702, the sub-directory of sign 606 parts of project and menu 612 pages 2 and 3 is deleted.In second file 704, the sub-directory that indicates 606 parts, trailer part 610 and be used for menu 612 pages 1 and 3 is deleted.So, be included in the file that offers this entity by a part of required a plurality of parts of entity of finished item in the project.This document folder can comprise enough structures of whole project, thereby the chapter (piece) that makes supplier or entity know how to make them is fit to whole project, but unwanted other parts not necessarily are provided for the supplier in the project.Notice that when creating file, it possibly comprise or not comprise actual video, audio frequency and the captions belongings (asset) that is present in the project.Usually, belongings will only be comprised under its situation relevant with the entity of operating this document folder.

Fig. 8 illustrates the figure of example that the supplier is provided for the input of file.In Fig. 8, file 704 has been provided for the supplier.Utilize a kind of BDAS of version, the supplier can be on worktable display 802 folder 704.Display 802 can also provide perform region 804, is used for making the supplier to import the information that will be included in file 704.In Fig. 8, the supplier just is being provided for the information of menu page 2.Selection when menu page 2 is provided at the broadcast positive between English and the spanish audio.The supplier creates English selector button 806 and Spanish selector button 808.The supplier can utilize various tool to create selector button.For example, the supplier can import graphic file 810 and create button, uses drawing instrument or other instruments to create required button.

In case button has been created and has been positioned to the desired location on the perform region 804, the supplier just can be linked to required function with button.In this example, the supplier is linked to the English sub-directory in the positive 608 with english button, and Spanish button is linked to the Spanish sub-directory in the positive 608.For example, the supplier can click english button 806 and it is moved in the English sub-directory, perhaps clicks the English audio entry in the project tree and it is moved on the english button, perhaps uses any other technologies with both couplet that is relative to each other.When the supplier was accomplished to the information input of file and upgrades, the file of renewal was beamed back the dish author.

Notice that client, supplier and dish author can have the version of BDAS.They possibly have the BDAS of same version or have the BDAS of different editions.For example, the dish author possibly have the complete version of BDAS, and wherein all functions all are enabled, and client and supplier possibly have other more BDAS of restricted version, wherein only have supplier and client with the required function of using of particular task.Therefore, depend on that the individual carries out the function of their required by task in whole project development process, the BDAS with different editions of difference in functionality and ability is assigned to different individuals.

Fig. 9 is that the file that renewal is shown is integrated into the figure in the project.This illustrates the file 902 of renewal, and argumentation like Fig. 8 is described is updated for it.The file 902 that upgrades is provided back the dish author.The dish author also has the primary copy of the project 904 that this author collecting.The file 902 that the dish author checks renewal is to verify its content.For example, the dish author can verify the acceptability of the form of the graphic file in the file 902 of renewal, validity of any order or the like.

In case the file 902 that upgrades is verified that the dish author just imports the file that upgrades 902 in the master project 904.When the file 902 that upgrades is imported into master project 904, has only part new in the master project 904 or the part that in the file that upgrades, is updated is imported into.For example, in Fig. 9, have only English and Spanish button and the English in positive 908 sub-directories and the respective links of spanish audio in menu 912 pages 2 in master project 904, to be updated.

Use file to allow a plurality of suppliers or the entity different piece of operation item simultaneously.For example, a supplier can upgrade the page 1 of menu, and another supplier can upgrade the page 2 of menu.Another example is supplier's actions menu, and another vendor works on subtitles, another supplier's operating audio and video belongings again.After different suppliers accomplished their renewal, the file of renewal can be sent to the dish author who upgrades master project.

During the exploitation master project, will there be variation usually.Figure 10 is the figure that the variation in the master project 1002 is shown.In this example, positive 1008 is changed, to comprise french audio but not spanish audio.And menu 1012 pages 2 are changed to selecting French but not Spanish.The dish author can derive new folder 1014, and this new folder 1014 can be sent to the supplier to incorporate variation into.1014 needs of new folder comprise the part of supplier's needs in the master project 1002.For example, new folder 1014 comprises the positive 1008 of indicating french audio and menu 1012 pages 2 with French selection.

Figure 11 is the figure that the many aspects of supplier's updating file folder are shown.Be similar to the description of Fig. 8; Through using a kind of BDAS of version; The supplier can show new folder 1014 on worktable display 802, said display 802 comprises perform region 804, is used to that the supplier is imported and will be used to the information of updating file folder 1014.In Figure 11, the supplier is upgrading for french audio but not the selection of spanish audio.The supplier need not change English selector button 806, and in this example, does like this to make the supplier see to have the layout of two buttons.If desired, the english button of master project 1014 part maybe not need offer the supplier.The supplier utilizes various tool and/or graphic file 1110 to create French selector button 1108.

In case the supplier has accomplished the renewal of file to reflect required change, the file of renewal just can be beamed back the dish author.Then, be similar to the description of Fig. 9, master project can be updated to comprise change.

Except changing, the dish author can also detect mistake when supplier's input is assembled into master project.For example,, the item in the file possibly have mistake when being mapped to master project.For example, when being put into file in the master project, BDAS is mapped to master project with the item in the file.During shining upon, mistake possibly take place, for example, a title possibly change, and perhaps possibly delete or add item.

Notice that file does not comprise the actual belongings in the project of being in usually.For example, the file among Figure 10 1014 comprises the English represented in positive 1008 catalogues and the item of french audio file.File 1014 does not comprise actual audio file itself, but includes only the link of file.When file 1014 is sent to the supplier when to be updated, the title that the supplier possibly change link.For example, the supplier possibly change " film " into title " positive ".Then, when the file of attempting importing renewal as the dish author clips to project, mistake will take place, because " film " will can not be mapped to the belongings in the project.

If in the process that portfolio item is mapped to the project belongings, have mistake, the some options that then exist BDAS to provide.BDAS can mark this document folder and with the error notification supplier.In addition, BDAS can analysis classes be similar to the project belongings of this document folder item, and advises that the supplier discerns the possible belongings that this should be mapped to.For example; If file comprises the audio track (track) that is used for positive and changes to English and Spanish item; But project only comprises English and french audio tracks, and BDAS then can the mark mistake and advised existing the belongings that is equal to the belongings of distributing to button (french audio file but not spanish audio file) to the supplier.The supplier can judge subsequently whether button should be assigned to and be equal to belongings.Confirming that what can be when being equal to belongings, other characteristics of project belongings also can be analyzed.For example, the duration of belongings or belongings type (audio frequency, video, captions) or other characteristics.

Figure 12 is a process flow diagram of realizing the method for file.The client is the definition project at frame 1204 places.After project was defined, 1206 places were sent to the supplier from project export and file at frame.Possibly derive a plurality of files from a project, one of them file comprises in the whole project by the required part of particular provider, thereby makes this supplier can be provided for the required input of final project.

The supplier receives one or more files, and at frame 1208 places information is input in the file.For example, the supplier possibly be " menu " supplier, and the supplier possibly develop menu button and assignment logic is given button.For example, the supplier can use drawing instrument and figure to set up button, then this button of logical and is associated, thereby when the final user selects this button, takes specific action.

After the supplier was input to file with information, the file of renewal was sent to the dish author at frame 1210 places.At frame 1212 places, the information in the dish author authenticating documents folder.For example, folder information can be by checking to guarantee that this information has compatible format, does not exist logic mistake or the like.

If confirm that at frame 1214 places folder information is invalid, then flow process proceeds to frame 1216.At frame 1216 places, the dish author can derive new folder from master project, and it is beamed back the supplier for renewal.Through deriving new folder from master project, new folder will reflect any change or the revision of relative master project, thereby the supplier has current project information.

Returning frame 1214, is that effectively then flow process proceeds to frame 1218 if confirm folder information, and the folder information of wherein upgrading is assembled in the master project of being safeguarded by the dish author.

Figure 13 is a process flow diagram of realizing another method of file.The client is the definition project at frame 1304 places.In case the client has begun the definition project, but before project was defined fully, flow process proceeded to frame 1306.In frame 1306, the supplier is based on model or establishment of item file formerly.For example, the client's project that can notify the supplier to be directed against North America market is developed.The supplier can create file based on North America model or existing being used in to the file in the project of North America market subsequently.For example, one or more suppliers can create a file, and this document folder comprises the menu page that lets the user between English and spanish audio tracks, select.

After the supplier created one or more files, the supplier was input to information in the file at frame 1308 places.For example, the supplier possibly be " menu " supplier, and the supplier possibly develop menu button and assignment logic is given button.For example, the supplier can use drawing instrument and figure to set up button, then this button of logical and is associated, thereby when the final user selects this button, takes specific action.

After the supplier was input to file with information, the file of renewal was sent to the dish author at frame 1310 places.At frame 1312 places, the information in the dish author authenticating documents folder.For example, folder information can be by checking to guarantee that this information has compatible format, does not exist logic mistake or the like.The content map of the file that the dish author also creates the supplier is to master project.Any difference between supplier's file and the master project is all identified.

Be invalid or during mapping process, have mistake that then flow process proceeds to frame 1316 if confirm folder information at frame 1314 places.At frame 1316 places, the dish author can derive new folder from master project, and it is beamed back the supplier for renewal, and said new folder has about the note of invalid information with the mapping mistake.Through deriving new folder from master project, new folder will reflect any change or the revision of relative master project.Thereby the supplier has current project information.

Returning frame 1314, is that effectively then flow process proceeds to frame 1318 if confirm folder information, and the folder information of wherein upgrading is assembled in the master project of being safeguarded by the dish author.
