20090274446 | STREAM DATA GENERATION METHOD AND PARTIAL ERASE PROCESSING METHOD - Stream data has a recording data structure formed in units of stream blocks (or stream object units SOBU) which are segmented to have a predetermined data size. Data are recorded (or encoded) and partially erased (or temporarily erased) in units of the stream blocks (SOBUs). | 11-05-2009 |
20120185245 | SOUND OUTPUT SETTING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - An apparatus is provided with a device storing machine readable code and a processor executing the machine readable code. The machine readable code includes sound setting code and audio processing code. The sound setting code detects use of a microphone and sets sound characteristics that are suitable for conversation in response to detecting the use of the microphone. The audio processing code processes sound on the basis of the sound characteristics set by the sound setting code. | 07-19-2012 |
20130315572 | DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDING SYSTEM AND ITS RECORDING MEDIUM - In a DVD recording/playback system, a set top box STB receives an MPEG transport stream constituted by a plurality of transport packets, and a formatter extracts support information indicating if management information included in the transport packets includes predetermined items. A disc drive that records data on a recording medium having a management area and data area records the support information in the management area. | 11-28-2013 |

20080205215 | INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM, INFORMATION RECORDING METHOD, INFORMATION REPRODUCING METHOD, INFORMATION RECORDING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION REPRODUCING APPARATUS - According to one embodiment, the invention allows identification of a data recording unit that does not include any reference picture and a data recording unit that includes a reference picture. Specifying information indicating whether or not a target object includes the data unit that does not include any reference picture or I-picture is provided in management information associated with that object. | 08-28-2008 |
20110262108 | INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM, INFORMATION RECORDING METHOD, INFORMATION PLAYBACK METHOD, INFORMATION RECORDING APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PLAYBACK APPARATUS - Various kinds of digital broadcast recording and playback are supported even when PSI (Program Specific Information) or SI (Service Information) is unknown. A management area of an information storage medium used in digital broadcast recording has management information for each broadcast station, and also management information of a type that does not specify any broadcast station. The management information of the type that does not specify any broadcast station includes information indicating invalidity of information (PSI, SI) associated with broadcast contents. | 10-27-2011 |
20120008913 | INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM, INFORMATION RECORDING/PLAYBACK METHOD, AND INFORMATION RECORDING/PLAYBACK APPARATUS - There is provided a system configured to prevent recording contents of various broadcasting schemes from being recorded together on a single recording medium while supporting various broadcasting schemes. An optical disc used here can record a digital stream complying with a predetermined digital broadcasting scheme and including specific information APP_NAME corresponding to a broadcasting scheme to be recorded. The broadcasting scheme to be recorded is checked. If another digital stream has already been recorded on the optical disc, its broadcasting scheme is detected from APP_NAME, and is compared with that of the stream to be recorded. If these broadcasting schemes are different, recording is aborted. | 01-12-2012 |
20120099839 | ENTRY POINT REGISTERING METHOD AND RECORDING AND REPRODUCING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - According to one embodiment, an information storage medium having an area in which ESOB type A/ESOB type B is recorded and an area in which HDVR_MG (or VMG) for managing ESOB type A/ESOB type B is recorded is used. HDVR_MG includes identification data (SFI_ID/C_TY) for determining whether an object to be managed is of ESOB type A or ESOB type B. HDVR_MG is read from the information storage medium. If the contents of identification data (SFI_ID/C_TY) indicate ESOB type A, entry points are registered at a specific reproducing time (at intervals of L minutes). If the contents of identification data (SFI_ID/C_TY) indicate ESOB type B, entry points are registered at a specific packet arrival time (at intervals of L minutes). | 04-26-2012 |
20130308923 | INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM, INFORMATION RECORDING/PLAYBACK METHOD, AND INFORMATION RECORDING/PLAYBACK APPARATUS - There is provided a system configured to prevent recording contents of various broadcasting schemes from being recorded together on a single recording medium while supporting various broadcasting schemes. An optical disc used here can record a digital stream complying with a predetermined digital broadcasting scheme and including specific information APP_NAME corresponding to a broadcasting scheme to be recorded. The broadcasting scheme to be recorded is checked. If another digital stream has already been recorded on the optical disc, its broadcasting scheme is detected from APP_NAME, and is compared with that of the stream to be recorded. If these broadcasting schemes are different, recording is aborted. | 11-21-2013 |
