摘要:
Consumer electronic devices, such as e.g. high-definition movie players for removable storage media such as optical discs, may provide possibilities for advanced interactivity for the user, implemented as software applications. A question arising generally with such software applications is what the life cycle of such an application is, and who may control it. The invention provides a method for executing software applications within a playback device for audio-video data, wherein data from a first removable storage medium are read for a software application to be executed within said playback device, and the data comprise an indication defining a termination condition for the application. Based on said termination code and depending on how the medium holding the application is ejected, the application is terminated or may survive.
摘要:
Local storage on player instruments provides the ability for adding further amendments and most recent supplements to the optical disc content. A problem arising with this technically applicable possibility is the protection of copyrights bound to disc and supplement data. The present invention describes a technique to ensure a security framework that is able to handle this, by creating a virtual file system (VFS) by merging optical disc data and local storage data based upon a common identifier.

Method for automatically selecting a software application being a program for execution on a virtual machine, including the steps of receiving an exit status value from a terminating software application; translating the exit status value to an identifier for the next software application to be executed, wherein a mapping table is used; executing on the virtual machine the next software application (J4) program that is represented by the identifier.

The handling of large amounts of data on storing media shall be simplified. Therefore, a method for maintaining a storage media by generating, editing or reading log data related to the content and usage of a data item stored or to be stored on a storage medium is provided. Data items are deleted or recommendations for deletion are provided on the basis of the log data from the storage medium. Thus, the user is relieved from the unpleasant and time-consuming task of deleting data items from recording media.

The present invention relates to a method for mapping a hierarchical data format to a relational database management system. It is an object of the invention to provide a method for mapping a hierarchical data format comprising descriptors to a relational database management system capable of handling diverse types of hierarchical descriptors in a fast manner for inserting descriptors, reading parts of descriptors, reading whole descriptors and performing fast text queries. According to the invention, the descriptors are separated into portions of a common format, which are stored in a relation in the relational database.

In modern digital video recorders not only the video/audio data stream itself is stored in data packets on the medium but also additional information about the stream. Part of this additional information is navigation information for random access to segments within the recorded material. A playlist is used that includes a sequence of substructure information data carrying start and end time data and addressing mode information for the segments. The substructure information data provide information describing each segment within one recording and where the segment data can be found on the storage medium. Because the playlist level does not include addressing mode information for the segments, segments having any addressing mode can be replayed using a single playlist.
