Изобретение относится к устройству и способу воспроизведения диска, предназначенного только для воспроизведения, имеющего большую емкость записи. Виртуальную модель, соответствующую функции проигрывателя, создают и описывают на языке Java. BDBasicPlayer детектирует входную команду пользователя и изменение состояния проигрывателя и генерирует событие. Объект, который воплощает интерфейс слушателя, регистрирует слушателя события, соответствующего событию, получение которого обеспечивается объектом для BDBasicPlayer прежде, чем происходит событие. Когда событие становится ненужным, его регистрацию устраняют. BDBasicPlayer передает событие в объект, в котором был зарегистрирован слушатель события.

Media-Editing Application with Video Segmentation and Caching Capabilities

For a media-editing application that creates a composite media presentation, some embodiments of the invention provide a method for reducing rendering operations by dividing the composite presentation into several segments and rendering the segments in a manner that allows for these segments to move with respect to each other without losing the rendered results. The media-editing application defines portions of a media presentation as segments. When the media-editing application renders a segment of the media presentation, the application computes an identifier that uniquely identifies the segment and then uses this identifier to store and later retrieve the rendered result for the segment. The application in some embodiments computes the identifier based on a set of attributes of the segment, and stores the results of rendering the segment at a location that is uniquely identifiable in a storage structure by the identifier.

Apparatus, method, and medium storing a program, that reduce playback time differences when joining moving images of different formats

Moving image editing device, method, and storage medium storing a program provide a smart rendering scheme to minimize the variation of playback time, even when editing moving image data that does not match the save format. The format of the moving image-data is compared with the save format. The moving image data is converted into the save format. The moving image data is sequentially joined and saved. A portion or the entirety of the moving image data itself is output if the format of the moving image data matches the save format, or the data encoded into the save format after decoding a portion or the entirety of the moving image data is output if the format of the moving image data does not match the save format. The device repeats sequential joining so that the difference in the playback time with the moving image data is minimized.

Media-Editing Application with Anchored Timeline

A media application of some embodiments includes a timeline, which is a composite display area for displaying media clips that are part of the composite media presentation.

The spine represents a primary sequence of media, which, in some embodiments, does not have any gaps. When a clip is deleted or removed from the timeline, the media-editing applications automatically closes the gap created in place of the clip. The clips in the anchor lanes are anchored to a particular position along the spine. Anchor lanes may be used for compositing (e.g., removing portions of one video and showing a different video in those portions), B-roll cuts (i.e., cutting away from the primary video to a different video whose clip is in the anchor lane), audio clips, or other composite presentation techniques.

A stop mark associated with the user is created and the stop mark is configured to uniquely identify the user compared to other users. The media application is presented to the user at the vehicle. The operation of the media application is halted at a stopping point when the user is using the media application and according to instructions from the user. The stopping point on the media is marked with the stop mark. Subsequently, the media application is restarted according to the stop mark when the user wishes to restart the media application.

Video display apparatus

A video display apparatus is configured such that when a user returns a video signal input source device to a video reproduction device after switching an input source device from the video reproduction device to another device, viewing of the video from the video reproduction device can be started again right away from a previous viewing position. When the user switches the video signal input source device from a BD player to another device, a <user control pressed> play command to start the reproduction of video is sent to the BD player, after which, without waiting for receipt of a response from the BD player to this command, a <user control pressed> stop command is sent to the BD player. Consequently, even a BD player which continues to reproduce video signals even after receiving the <active source> command can be placed in a resume stop state.

Systems and Methods of Detecting Significant Faces in Video Streams

Systems and methods of processing video streams are described. A face is detected in a video stream. The face is tracked to determine a video clip associated with one of a plurality of individuals. The video segment is assigned to a group of video clips based on the associated individual. A significant face is detected in the group of video clips when the detected face meets one or more significance criteria. The significance criteria describes a face-frame characteristic. A representation of the significant face is displayed in association with a representation of the group of video clips. The order of the significance criteria is adjusted through a user interface.

INTELLIGENT SEGMENT MARKING IN RECORDINGS

A stream of data contributions during a period is collected from a social media data source, the period spanning a broadcast of a content. The stream is analyzed to identify a change in a level of the data contributions during a sub-period of the period. A first time is selected to mark a beginning of the sub-period. A second time is selected to mark an ending of the sub-period. A data fragment is extracted from the data contributions occurring during the sub-period in the stream, the data fragment being descriptive of the content during the sub-period. In a recording of the content, a portion of the recording between the starting time and the ending time is selected as a segment of interest. The recording is annotated with the starting time, the ending time, and the data fragment to identify the segment of interest. 113-. (canceled)14.
