Description

Recording medium for storing information for still images {Recording medium for storing information for still image}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of recording and reproducing audio and / or video (A / V) data using a rewritable recording medium, and more particularly to storing information for efficiently processing still images and secondary audio data added thereto. The present invention relates to a recording medium, a recording reproducing method, and an apparatus.

Fig. 1 shows the connection structure of each information in a moving picture and moving picture data in recording and reproducing A / V data on a recordable and rewritable recording medium, particularly a digital versatile disc (DVD) disc. That is, PGC (Program Chain) information 11 for handling data logically, moving picture information 12 including VOB (Video Object) information, and moving picture data in which actually compressed A / V data is recorded in VOB units. The relationship with the file 13 is shown.

The term is explained first. If a movie is divided into upper and lower parts and recorded, the entire movie becomes a PGC, and the upper and lower parts can be referred to as programs. In addition, each program can be defined by dividing it into several small units of cells, and each cell information can designate an entire VOB representing a certain amount of actual video data file or a part of the VOB. . In this case, each cell is used as a basic unit of access during playback, and the program and the PGC are only information about the connection of a plurality of cells.

In addition, since the actual data is subdivided and recorded in a unit called VOBU (Video Object Unit) on the video data file, the VOB information is composed of information (VOBU # 1, VOBU # 2, ...) for this VOBU data. This VOB information designates the VOB data on the video data file. Here, the VOB data is used as a unit of random access of the disc recording and reproducing apparatus, VOBU is based on one GOP (Group of Picture) in case of Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) video, and audio corresponds to video. In other words, VOBU is formed by multiplexing A / V data in sector units.

The data structure as shown in FIG. 1 is for moving pictures. The constituent unit of the actual data is VOB, which is moving image data of a certain time, and all of the synchronization and encoding methods of the A / V signals are made in VOB units. However, in the case of a still picture, since the constituent unit is one piece of still picture, one piece of still picture constitutes one VOB. However, if a cell structure is designated as one VOB, a cell is required for each still picture. In this case, there is a problem in that as the number of still images recorded increases, the added information rapidly increases.

In addition, there is a limit on the number of recordable times, since there may be an error in data when a recordable disc is recorded more than a predetermined number of times. In order to limit the number of times and to access data quickly, all information data is a controller that controls the system. As described above, when the amount of information increases, it takes a long time to read all the information data, and it is not possible to store all the information in a memory of a constant size, and thus a large amount of still pictures. There was a problem that can not be recorded.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described a preferred embodiment of a recording medium and a recording and reproducing method for storing the information for a still image according to the present invention and the apparatus.

2 is a configuration example of the entire information structure according to the present invention. Information data, which may be composed of PGC information, moving picture information, and still picture information, may be recorded in one information file or information area.

Here, the general information of the PGC contains information such as the number of programs in the PGC. The general program information includes information such as the number of cells in the program. In the case of a moving picture, the cell information designates one VOB as shown in FIG. 1, and in the case of a still picture, a stationary VOB group (abbreviated as a still group) rather than one VOB as shown in FIG. 3. It is supposed to specify. Since this moving picture information has already been described with reference to FIG. 1, the description thereof will be omitted here, and the description will be made mainly on the still picture information according to the present invention. The still picture general information of the still picture information includes the number of still picture group information and the like, and the still picture secondary audio general information contains the number of still picture secondary audio group information and the like.

Fig. 3 shows a structure of linking each information and still picture data in a still image. That is, in the case of a still picture recorded in a unit of one VOB on a data file, a plurality of still picture VOBs are bundled together and managed as a still picture group, and PGC information. The cell information in (21) designates the still picture group information 22 rather than one VOB. In addition, audio can be added to the still image for recording, and recording of the audio in succession to recording the still image can reduce the search time of the playhead during reproduction. Audio recorded at the same time as the still image is called original audio, and the original audio is included in the still image group. In the present invention, the still picture denotes both a still picture having only a video data part and a still picture in which an original audio data part coexists like a video data part.

The gain obtained by grouping and managing still pictures in this manner reduces not only the number of cell information described above but also still picture information. For example, the video coding attribute and the original audio coding attribute in the still picture group are the same and stored as common information as the still picture group general information. For each still picture, the position in the still picture data file should be indicated. If not, the start point of each still picture should be indicated, but if it is a group, the start of the still picture group is recorded in the file in the general information of the still picture group. It is only necessary to store the position, and record only the respective size as information for each still image. In general, since the amount of information (i.e., number of bytes) for indicating the size of still image data is smaller than the amount of information for indicating the position in the file, the total amount of information can be reduced.

On the other hand, after recording the still picture and the original audio in the still picture file 23, the user can add additional secondary audio to the still picture desired by the user. At this time, the original audio data is left as it is, and only secondary audio is collected and recorded in a separate space in the secondary audio data file 24 or the still image file 23. Management information for secondary audio is also grouped and managed like still pictures, and the concept is the same. That is, a plurality of secondary audios having the same attributes as audio encoding are bundled into a secondary audio group (GAOB), and then common information is recorded as secondary audio group general information, and for each secondary audio data (AOB). It is only necessary to record each size information. The secondary audio group general information includes the position where the audio data of the secondary audio group starts. The connection information (indicated by the bold arrows) for the secondary audio added to the specific still picture is present in the still picture group information (GVOB # 1, GVOB # 2, ...). That is, secondary audio group identification information and secondary audio identification information in the secondary audio group are included as information for designating secondary audio present in the still picture group information.

To find the recording position of a particular still image in the group, the start position of the still image group data in the still image group general information and the size of the data preceding the still image to be searched can be added. The starting position of the secondary audio group data in the group general information and the size of the data preceding the secondary audio data to be searched are added.

In the case of a still picture group, since the video part and the original audio part are recorded in one file or space in succession, video information and audio information including these data sizes are also recorded in the order of the actual video data and the bitstream in which the original audio data is recorded. In the case of the secondary audio group, since only the secondary audio data is present, only the secondary audio information is recorded in the bit stream order in which the actual secondary audio data is recorded.

Accordingly, in FIG. 3, the still image file 23 to which original audio may be added, the secondary audio data file 24 to be added to the still image, and the information file for the cell information 21 and the still image information 22 are present. However, the secondary audio data can be recorded in a separate area of the still image file 23 without being recorded in the secondary audio data file 24, and the still image file 23 can be recorded in the first area and the secondary. The file 24 for audio data may be referred to as a second area, and the information file including the cell information 21 and the still picture information 22 may be referred to as a third area, which becomes a logical area.

4 is a block diagram of a recording / playback apparatus according to the present invention, wherein the function of the apparatus for recording and reproducing A / V data using a recordable and rewritable disc can be broadly divided into recording and playback.

In recording, the AV codec 110 compresses and encodes an externally input A / V signal by a predetermined compression scheme, and provides size information about the compressed data. The digital signal processor (DSP) 120 receives A / V data supplied from the AV codec 110, adds additional data for ECC (Error Correction Code) processing, and performs modulation or the like by a predetermined modulation scheme. A high frequency amplifier (denoted RF AMP: 130) converts electrical data supplied from the DSP 120 into an optical signal. The pickup unit 140 drives a disk, records an optical signal from the RF AMP 130 on the disk, and has an built-in actuator for focusing and tracking. The servo unit 150 receives information necessary for servo control from the RF AMP 130 and the system controller 160 to perform stable servo. Through the interface with the user, the system controller 160 controls the entire system to record still images on a disc as a group, and also records additional information on the recorded still images. The still image data is organized in group units by configuring the still image group information with information on each still image such as data size of still image, original audio data size, original audio playback time and position of each still image group in recording order. do. In addition, in the case of adding the secondary audio to the still image, the secondary audio to be added is recorded in a separate file or another area of the file such as a still image, and information such as the data size and reproduction time of the recorded secondary audio and the like. Secondary audio group information is configured by using information about the position of each secondary audio group, and the like, and the secondary audio data is managed in groups, and the information on each still picture includes information indicating added secondary audio. Along with such information, cell information, which is information related to the reproduction order, is recorded. The cell information includes information indicating a recorded still image group, so that the recorded still image and audio can be reproduced.

At the time of reproduction, the pickup section 140 picks up the optical signal from the disk storing the data, and the data is extracted from the optical signal. The RF AMP 130 converts the optical signal into an electrical signal and extracts a servo signal and modulated data for performing the servo. The DSP 120 demodulates the modulated data supplied from the RF AMP 130 in response to the modulation scheme used for modulation, and performs ECC to correct an error and remove additional data. The servo unit 150 receives information necessary for servo control from the RF AMP 130 and the system controller 160 to perform stable servo. The AV codec 110 decodes the compressed A / V data supplied from the DSP 120 and outputs an A / V signal. The system controller 160 executes a user interface such as processing a user's key input, and uses the cell information and the still image group information recorded on the disk to make the data desired by the user (only still image, still image + original audio or still image +). Control the entire system to play secondary audio).

That is, in order to reproduce specific still and audio data, the still picture group information including the still picture to be reproduced is obtained from the cell information, and the still picture data size information and the like are obtained from the still picture group information. Information on the reproduction time is obtained to reproduce only the desired data. When secondary audio is added to the still image, the desired secondary audio is reproduced by using the data size and reproduction time information of the secondary audio in the secondary audio group information indicated by the still image group information.

Here, the AV codec 110, the DSP 120, the RF amplifier 130, and the pickup unit 140 at the time of recording may be referred to as a recording processor, and the AV codec 110, DSP 120, RF at the time of reproduction. The amplifier 130 and the pickup unit 140 may be referred to as a regeneration processor.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a relation between still picture data and still picture group information according to the present invention. Each still picture group (denoted GVOB) information 201 includes a plurality of sheets having the same attributes (for example, up to 64 pictures). Information on the still picture is recorded, and the plurality of still pictures constituting each still picture group is determined within the maximum still picture. One still picture group information 202 is composed of still picture group general information and information about each still picture, and is information for still picture data 203 including video parts or video parts and audio parts in the order of recorded bitstreams. The still picture group general information is given the start address of the still picture group.

Also, the still picture information in which original audio exists as information for each still picture exists as map information including video part information for a video part and audio part information for an audio part. In this case, a video map and audio for one still picture are present. The map has the same identification information, and in the case of only the video part, the map exists as a map only of the video part information. Here, one piece of still picture data is recorded in one VOB.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between secondary audio data added to a still picture according to the present invention and secondary audio group information. Each secondary audio group (denoted as GAOB) information 211 is included in the information 211. Information for secondary audio data recorded in group units for a plurality of still pictures is recorded, and secondary audio group information 212 for one secondary audio group has a corresponding secondary audio group start address. The secondary audio group is composed of general information and audio maps according to the secondary audio data order. In each secondary audio map, information for secondary audio data 213 made up of a secondary audio part of a still picture is recorded, which includes the size of the secondary audio data.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating information about a cell (which may be referred to as playback information) and a still picture group information, which are logical units related to a display related to a playback order, wherein cell information indicates identification information (GVOB_ID) of a still picture group. And still picture reproduction start identification information (START VOB_ID) and still picture reproduction end identification information (END_VOB_ID) in the corresponding still picture group. The cell information may correspond to the whole still picture group, and a part of the still picture group to be reproduced by the user is included. I can display it.

On the other hand, the secondary audio data is stored in a separate space from the still picture data, which may be stored in a separate file, or may be stored in a separate area in the file, such as still picture data.

For example, when the secondary audio data is stored in a file separate from the still picture data, as shown in FIG. 5, GVOB # 1, # 2, and # 3 having still picture data constitute one file. 6, GAOB # 1, # 2, # 3 having secondary audio data constitutes one file, and the actual still image or secondary audio data is to be recorded / reproduced. Is accessed using the respective file information.

For example, when the second audio data and the still picture data are configured together as one file, the GVOB # 1, # 2, # 3, and GAOB # 1, # 2, # shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 will be described. All three make up one file. Of course, in this configuration, each GVOB and GAOB may be mixed according to the recording order, for example, GVOB # 1, GVOB # 2, GAOB # 1, GVOB # 3, GAOB # 2, and GAOB # 3. GVOBs can be bundled together and GAOBs can be bundled together to form a file.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a relationship between cell information, still picture group information, and secondary audio group information in order to designate desired secondary audio in a secondary audio group in which audio added to a still picture is recorded in a separate area as well as original audio. For example, the cell information includes identification information (GVOB_ID) of the still picture group, still picture reproduction start identification information (START VOB_ID) and still picture reproduction end identification information (END VOB_ID) in the still picture group, and includes information on the still picture group (GVOB #i). In the video part information in the group information, information for specifying secondary audio added to a still picture, that is, secondary audio group identification information (GAOB_ID) and secondary audio (AOB) identification information (AOB_ID) in the corresponding secondary audio group are recorded. Can be. For example, in the video part information for the still picture # 2 of the still picture group GVOB #i, there is identification information # 2 which is the second audio map in the second audio group identification information GAOB #j and GAOB #j.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the structure of still picture group information according to the present invention.

19 is a flowchart according to an embodiment of the still image recording method according to the present invention, which shows a method of recording still images and original audio. First, it is set whether to record only still pictures or to record original audio data simultaneously with still pictures (step S101). The still picture group information is generated, the group identification information is assigned, the number of still pictures in the still picture group is set to "0", and the still picture group start position in the still file is recorded (step S102). It is judged whether or not the still picture recording start signal is input from the user (step S103), and when the recording start signal is input, the still picture is recorded in the still picture file, the identification information for the still picture recorded in the video map is allocated, and the number of still pictures in the still picture group information is determined. Is increased by one, and the still image size information is recorded in the video map (step S104).

It is determined whether the user setting is a mode of recording original audio at the same time as the still image (step S105), and if the user setting is a mode of recording still and original audio, the audio data for the still image is continuously recorded in the still image file in the still image. The audio size information is recorded in the audio map in the still picture group information (step S106).

It is determined whether the number of recorded still pictures constitutes one group (for example, up to 64) (step S107), and when one group information is configured, the process proceeds to step S102 to generate another still picture group information; The flow advances to step S103 to determine whether a recording start signal is input.

In step S105, if the user setting is a mode for recording only still pictures, the process proceeds to step S107 to record the next still picture without going to step S106, and in step S103, it is determined whether to end recording if a still picture recording start signal is not input from the user. If it is determined that recording is to be terminated (step S108), the cell information is recorded and then terminated (step S109). Here, the cell information may be generated one by one for every still picture group as an initial value so that all still pictures are reproduced.

20 is a flowchart of a method for recording secondary audio data after recording still images according to the present invention. First, the secondary audio group information is generated, the secondary audio group identification information is assigned, the number of audio in the secondary audio group information is set to "0", and the audio group start position information in the secondary audio file is recorded. (Step S201).

It is determined whether the secondary audio recording start signal is input from the user (step S202), and when the secondary audio recording start signal is input, a specific still picture which the user wants to add the secondary audio data is designated (step S203). Secondary audio data is recorded in the file for secondary audio, secondary audio identification information in the audio map of the secondary audio group information is allocated, the number of audio in the secondary audio group information is increased by one, and secondary audio in the audio map. The size information is recorded (step S204). Although it is described that the secondary audio data is stored in a file separate from the still picture data, the secondary audio data may be stored in a separate area in the same file as the still picture data.

The still picture group identification information and the still picture identification information of the still picture specified in advance are read out, and the secondary audio group identification information and the secondary audio identification information of the secondary audio are recorded in the information for this still picture, that is, the video map of the designated still picture (S205). step).

It is determined whether the number of secondary audio maps in the secondary audio group information is the number N constituting the group (step S206). When the group information is configured, the process proceeds to step S201 to generate other secondary audio group information. If not, the flow proceeds to step S203 for determining whether a second audio recording start signal is input from the user. If the second audio recording start signal is not input from the user in step S203, the process ends.

Here, the step of specifying a specific still picture (step S203) may be set before the step (step S202) of determining whether the secondary audio recording start signal is input.

21 is a flowchart of a still picture reproduction method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which shows a method of reproducing a still picture and original audio data added thereto.

In Fig. 21, first, PGC information and cell information are read (step S301), and the still picture group indicated by the cell is read out from the cell information by reading still picture group identification information, reproduction start identification information, reproduction end identification information, and the like. Read the information (step S302). Obtains video map (VMAP) information for a video part corresponding to playback start identification information in the read still image information, reads the size of the video part, etc., and if the still image has original audio, obtains the video map and audio map information. The size and audio size information are read out (step S303).

The desired still image position is calculated according to the read video part information, and the still image is reproduced by reading and decoding the video data of the calculated position (step S304). Here, the desired still image position is obtained by summing the still group group starting position and the size of the data preceding the desired still image. When the still picture is reproduced, it is judged whether or not the original audio is added to the still picture (step S305). If the original audio is added to the still picture, the original audio data is read and decoded to reproduce the audio (step S306). Here, the read position of the original audio is obtained by adding up the calculated still image position and the size of the video part of the still image. After checking whether all still images belonging to all cells have been played back using the cell information, it is determined whether there are still still images to be played next (step S307), and if there are still still images to be played back, information for the video part of the next still image is read out. Proceeds to step S303 and terminates otherwise. If there is a plurality of cell information, this process is repeated again.

Here, the step of determining whether or not the original audio is added to the still image (step S305) may be performed immediately after the step of reading the still image group information (step S302), which is performed on the map for the video part according to the read still image group information. This is because it is possible to determine that the original audio is added to the still picture when the map for the audio part is added in succession.

Fig. 22 is a flowchart according to another embodiment of the still picture reproduction method according to the present invention, and shows a method of reproducing a still picture or still picture to which original audio is added or a still picture to which secondary audio data is added.

In Fig. 22, first, cell information in the PGC information is read (step S401), and still picture group information indicated by the cell to be reproduced is read (step S402).

The start position of the still image group is read from the read still image group information, and the desired still image position is calculated (step S403). Here, the desired still image position is obtained by summing the still group group starting position and the size of the data preceding the desired still image. The video data is read and decoded according to the calculated desired still picture position information to reproduce the still picture (step S404).

It is checked from the still picture group information whether secondary audio exists (step S405), and if there is no secondary audio, it is determined whether original audio exists (step S406). Here, the presence of the secondary audio can be determined by using the secondary audio group identification information and the secondary audio identification information in the map information for the video part of the still picture to be reproduced, and the presence of the original audio is determined by the still picture to be reproduced. This can be determined by determining whether there is audio information (audio map) in the map table.

If the original audio is present in step S406, the read position of the original audio is calculated (step S407). Here, the read position of the original audio is obtained by summing the still image position calculated in step S403 and the video part size of the still image. After the original audio data is read and decoded from the calculated original audio position information to reproduce the original audio (step S408), the process proceeds to step S411.

On the other hand, if the secondary audio is present in step S405, that is, the secondary audio group identification information and the secondary audio identification information designated for this still image are read out, and if it is not "0", the start position of the secondary audio group information from the secondary audio group information. Read the to calculate the desired second audio position (step S409). This desired secondary audio position can be obtained by summing the secondary audio group start position and the magnitudes of the secondary audios located before the secondary audio with the secondary audio identification information specified in this secondary audio group.

After reading and decoding the secondary audio data from the calculated desired secondary audio position information and playing the secondary audio (step S410), it is determined whether there is still picture to be played next (step S411), and if there is still picture to be played back, S403. Proceed to step, otherwise ends (step S411). In the case of reproducing a plurality of cells, the entire process is repeated.

Here, instead of the step S405 for determining whether the secondary audio is present and the step S406 for determining whether the original audio exists, whether the still picture to be reproduced from the still picture group information read out in step S402 is a still picture consisting of video parts only or not. First, it is determined whether the still image is an added still picture or a still picture to which secondary audio is added, and if the still picture is composed of only video parts, steps S403 and S404 are performed. If the original audio is still added, steps S403, S404, S407, and S408 are performed. If the second audio is added to the still image, the flowchart may further include a flowchart according to another example of the reproduction method of performing steps S403, S404, S409, and S410 and then proceeding to step S411.

In addition, it is also possible to set whether to play only still images, still and original audio, or still and secondary audio through the user interface, and play them according to the set mode.

The present invention has the effect of recording and editing secondary audio data as well as secondary audio data as well as a large amount of still images and additional original audio data using minimal information data. To cope with after-recording of audio data.

In addition, the present invention has the effect that efficient information management is possible by configuring the video map and / or audio map information of the still picture information in the order of the recorded bitstreams.
