Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of enabling a user to navigate to a desired part in a recording.
- the invention further relates to a reproduction device enabling a user to navigate to a desired part in a recording.
- the invention further relates to a computer program product containing code for causing a processor to enable a user to navigate to a desired part in a recording.
- European Patent Application published under number 1 102282 Al describes a system for helping a user to find a desired program from a collection of recorded television programs.
- the known system stores the recorded television programs on a storage medium, which may be a hard disk device.
- the system stores for each recorded program a number of attributes, including the date and time of recording.
- the system maintains an index table in which the attributes of a program are linked to the location of the program itself on the storage medium. A user may remember the date and time at which a certain television program has been broadcast and recorded. Through consultation of the table, the desired program is found on the storage medium and played back.
- This method allows the user to easily jump to a certain part inside a recording when he knows the point in time at which this part was received to be recorded. The user simply specifies this point in time, expressed as the original time of receiving and recording that part, and a jump is made to the particular position in the recording corresponding with this part.
- This provides for a finer granularity for navigating in recorded content than according to the known method, which is only able to find recordings as a whole.
- the method according to the invention is able to navigate inside a recording. This can advantageously be used when a recording contains distinguishable parts each having their own time of receiving the signal representing that part.
- An example of this is a television recording covering a number of programs or a recording of a program with a number of program fragments each with their own known broadcast time.
- the invention can advantageously be used for the recording of broadcast programs, like television programs. A user will often be familiar with the scheduled broadcast times of such programs. In this embodiment, these broadcast times are used to locate programs in a recording.
- this established difference might be used for navigating to the desired content. This difference may be established from an Electronic Program Guide indicating the scheduled and the actual broadcast time.
- This object is achieved in a reproduction device wherein a plurality of positions in the recording are associated with respective points in time from which the signal representing content at these positions has been received, the device comprising:
- - verification means for verifying whether the associated point in time of a particular one of the plurality of positions in the recording substantially equals a desired point in time from which the signal representing the desired part is known to have been received
- - proceeding means for proceeding to the particular one of the plurality of positions in the recording of which the associated point in time substantially equals the desired point in time.
- the user can navigate to the desired part if the recording on the basis of the time of receiving and recording that part.
- Figure 1 schematically shows an environment in which the invention is used
- FIG. 2 schematically shows a recording according to the invention
- Figure 3 shows an example recording in which the user can navigate according to the invention
- Figure 4 schematically shows a reproduction device according to the invention.
- FIG 1 schematically shows an environment in which the invention is used.
- a broadcaster 102 broadcasts a signal 104, representing a number of television programs, through a transmitting antenna 106.
- the signal is sent to a satellite that broadcasts the received signal back to earth for reception at many sites.
- a video recorder 108 is capable of receiving a signal 110 representing the programs through an antenna 112.
- the video recorder selectively receives programs from the signal and records these selected programs on a local storage medium.
- the signal may be provided to the user via a network provider and received by the video recorder 108 through a cable connection.
- the programs may be provided to the video recorder of the user in a completely different way than through broadcasting, e.g.
- the video recorder has a local storage medium, like hard disk 114, for storing recordings. Alternatives to the hard disk are videotape in a cassette and optical disk. The video recorder is later used as a reproduction device for play back of a recording on a display 116.
- FIG. 2 schematically shows a recording according to the invention.
- a recording is an amount of recorded content that is handled by the user as a single entity.
- On a tape a recording is typically an amount of audio and/or video that has been recorded without interrupts from a specific start time to a specific end time. The same is true for a recording on a disk and there a recording is typically stored as a single file.
- One recording may contain more than one program, e.g. two successive television programs and the commercial break in between may have been recorded in one go.
- the recording 202 has a begin timestamp 204. This begin timestamp 204 indicates the point in time at which the recording process of received signal has started.
- the begin timestamp is expressed in relation to the real date and time from which the signal representing the program has been received, hi the case of application of the invention in a broadcast environment described above, the begin timestamp is the point in time from which the signal 110 is has been received. Usually, the begin timestamp will be the same as the point in time where the recording itself has been created, i.e. when the file on disk or tape has been created. However, in the case that a recording is copied than the begin timestamp of the copy will still be the point in time of the original recording and will not be the point in time that the copy is created.
- the recording 202 contains a series of position timestamps 204 indicating the point in time of reception and recording of the signal at the respective positions.
- a certain position timestamp in the recording indicates the point in time from which the content recorded at the corresponding position has been received and recorded. For example in the case of recording a broadcast program, the position timestamp equals the broadcast time of the recorded content. In one embodiment, a position timestamp is expressed with reference to the begin timestamp. The position timestamp then indicates the time lapsed since the beginning of the recording. For example, position timestamp 208 indicates that 8 time units have passed since the beginning of the recording. In terms of recording the signal representing the program, timestamp 208 indicates that the content at the position corresponding with that timestamp has been received and recorded at the point in time that equals the begin timestamp plus 8 time units.
- the size of a time unit may be chosen depending on the need of precision of the application at hand. It may be chosen as 1 minute, 1 second or any other suitable period.
- the invention allows the user to navigate to a particular piece of content in the recording on the basis of the point in time where the signal of that piece has been received and recorded. Particularly when using the invention in a broadcast environment, the user may easily remember the time of broadcasting and recording of the desired part of a recording, as will be further explained below with connection to Figure 3.
- the recording may be made with a NCR (NideoCassette Recorder) on a videocassette 210.
- NCR NanoCassette Recorder
- the position timestamps are then recorded on the tape of the cassette in a track that is additional to the data representing the audio and video itself.
- These timestamps may be realized as pulses added at equidistant moments on the tape, e.g. every second a pulse is written to the track on the tape.
- the pulses are counted relative to the beginning of the recording and in this way the time since the beginning of the recording can be obtained for the positions on the tape. And thus, the point in time at which the signal recorded at that position has been received and recorded can be determined.
- a time indicator may be written to the track indicating the time lapsed since the beginning of the recording. Then it is not necessary to always start counting at the beginning but the time indicator on an arbitrary piece of tape may be read and it can then immediately be determined how much time this piece is after the begin of the recording.
- the begin timestamp may be recorded embedded in the recording or at a dedicated position, e.g. at the beginning of a recording. Alternatively, the begin timestamps of various recordings on the tape may be recorded on a dedicated position on the tape, e.g. as a piece of coded data at the beginning of the tape. In an other alternative, the begin timestamp may be stored in a memory device 212 attached to the housing of the tape.
- This so-called chip-on-cassette may be read by the video recorder 108 when the cassette is in the recorder.
- the memory device may be used to store the begin timestamps of the recordings on the tape and may be used to store further data.
- the position timestamps are directly expressed as the points in time of receipt and recording of the signal representing the recorded program.
- a begin timestamp is not required since the position timestamps themselves express the time of receipt and recording the signal at the corresponding position.
- the position timestamps are coupled to the transport mechanism of the tape. A unit of time between timestamps corresponds with a certain length of tape.
- an optical disk 214 may be used to store the recording.
- the video content is stored as a file on the disk in a compressed form in the MPEG format. This format allows for timestamps indicating the progression of time of the video data from the file. When playing back, these timestamps may be supplied by the MPEG decoder and used for navigating.
- a table may be used that indexes the video data on the basis of time. An example of such a table is given below.
- the begin timestamp indicating the beginning of receipt and recording of the signal representing the program can be stored as an attribute of the file.
- An example is the attribute Information Time Existence, specified in Part 4, paragraph 14.10.6 of the Standard ECMA-167, called "Volume and File Structure for Write-Once and Rewritable Media using Non-Sequential Recording for Information
- the begin timestamps of the recordings on a disk may be stored in a memory device attached to the disk itself. This so-called chip on disk is read by the recorder when the disk is in the recorded.
- the video recorder may use a hard disk rather than an optical disk for storing the video and the timestamps. hi this case, the video is also compressed according to MPEG and stored in a file.
- the position timestamps may be created in the same way as described above.
- the begin timestamp may by created as an attribute of the file or as may be stored in a separate file.
- FIG. 3 shows an example recording in which the user can navigate according to the invention.
- the recording 302 contains a number of parts which have been broadcast successively and which have been recorded without pausing the recording process, i the example, the user has programmed the video recorder to record the broadcast signal from 19.58 until 22.00 hours. In the example, the user has made the recording because he was interested in the news program from 20.00 until 20.25 hours and in the TN movie from 20.30 until 21.55.
- Part 304 is a part containing the last few minutes of the television program prior to the news.
- the user has programmed the video recorder to start a little earlier than the scheduled begin time of the news as a safety margin.
- the content in part 304 is of no interest to the user.
- Part 306 is the news that has been broadcast from 20.00 until 20.25.
- Part 308 is the break between the news and the TN movie starting at 20.30. This break contains advertisements and other announcements.
- Part 310 contains the movie that has been broadcast from 20.30 until 21.55.
- Part 312 has been recorded because the user has, as a safety margin, programmed the recorder to record a little beyond the point in time where the TV movie is expected to end.
- the recording 302 has a begin timestamp 314 which has a value of 19.58 indicating that recording of the broadcast signal has started at 19.58 hours.
- the recording 302 further contains a number of position timestamps 316 indicating the time at which recording the corresponding parts has started.
- the position timestamps are expressed in minutes passed since the beginning of the recording.
- the times 318 at which the recording of the various parts has been started are obtained on the basis of the begin timestamp and the respective position timestamps. Therefore, the times 318 need not be stored with the recording.
- the user can navigate through the recording 302 on the basis of the times at which the broadcast parts have been received and recorded. For example, if the user is watching the end of the news and then wants to start watching the TV movie, i.e. part 310, he wants to instruct the video record to jump to or move to the beginning of that part. The user will remember that the TV movie was originally broadcast and recorded at 20.30 and he will instruct the video recorder to move or jump to the position that corresponds with the timestamp 20.30. Thus in this example, the desired point in time 320 has the value '20.30' and the corresponding position 322 is at the beginning of part 310.
- the video recorder will display the times 318 of recording and the user can enter the command fast forward and monitor the displayed time.
- the times 318 are displayed on a display device on the video recorder, which display device may at other moments be used for other purposes like for entering the start time and stop time when programming the video recorder for making a recording.
- the user interrupts the fast forward command and enters the play command. Entering the above commands is typically done with dedicated buttons on the remote control of the video recorder. Alternatively, buttons on the video recorder itself may be used.
- the user enters the time 20.30 followed by the command to jump to the position corresponding with that time. Especially if the recording is made on a hard disk with an index table, the video recorder can quickly jump to that position without having to process the intermediate video data.
- the timestamps relate to the times at which the corresponding signals have been broadcast.
- This will usually be the scheduled broadcast time as advertised in the television guide.
- a guide may be in the form of a printed magazine with an overview of the programs for the available channels.
- a television guide may also be provided in electronic form.
- Such an Electronic Program Guide may be transmitted as data together with one of the program or may be transmitted in a dedicated channel.
- the actual broadcast of a program may be different from the scheduled broadcast time.
- the start of the broadcast of the TV movie in part 310 may be at 20.33 instead of the scheduled 20.30.
- This delay may be obtained by the video recorder and recorded as an offset for the relevant program.
- One way of obtaining the delay is by means of the Teletekst service.
- the scheduled broadcast and the revised broadcast time are provided as data to the video recorder that can determine the offset.
- Another way of providing the delay is through the Electronic Program Guide.
- the scheduled broadcast time and the revised broadcast time may be supplied.
- the offset is used to correct for the difference between scheduled and actual broadcast time when the user navigates through the recording.
- the user in the above example still specifies that he wants to start watching a program that should have been recorded at 20.30. Because of the delay, the position timestamp of that program will be 35, instead of the 32 in Figure 3.
- the invention corrects this timestamp with the offset of 3 and together with the begin timestamp determines the correct position in the recording.
- the timestamps may be corrected during the recording process.
- the timestamps relate to the scheduled time of recording and no longer to the actual time of recording.
- FIG. 4 schematically shows a reproduction device according to the invention.
- the reproduction device 400 is constructed on the basis of a general-purpose computer with a know architecture.
- the reproduction device 400 has a processor 402 for executing program instruction of a program containing program units loaded in a working memory 404.
- the reproduction device 400 has an interface 406 for communication with external peripherals.
- the reproduction device has a bus 408 for exchanging commands and data between the various components of the device.
- the reproduction device further has a storage medium 410 for storing the recordings and other data as described above. Also the program units that are loaded into the working memory in operation are stored on the storage medium.
- the storage medium is a magnetic hard disk, but other suitable types of storage medium can be used, e.g. an optical disk.
- the storage medium may be located inside the housing 411 of the reproduction device 400 or may be placed externally and connected to the interface 406. Furthermore, the reproduction device has an output connection 412 for connecting to an external display device 414 for reproducing a recording.
- This display device 414 is typically a traditional television set.
- the reproduction device 400 has a remote control 416 to allow a user to control the device. The user can enter commands and data by means of buttons on the remote control 416.
- the remote control 416 transmits corresponding infrared signals that are received by an infrared receiver 418 in the housing of the reproduction device.
- the reproduction device 400 optionally has a signal connection 420 through which signals representing programs to be recorded can be received. In this embodiment, the reproduction device is able to create a recording as described above.
- the functionality of the reproduction device 400 is implemented by the program units that are loaded into the working memory.
- the distribution of functions over the various program units in the embodiment shown in Figure 3 is described below. This is by way of example only, and other distributions realizing the same overall functionality of the reproduction device are possible.
- the reproduction device has software for control and various traditional functions for the playback of a recording, like 'play', 'pause', 'stop' and the like. This software is symbolized by software unit 422 and is not further detailed in the present document, since this software per se is known and the detail is not required for explaining the present invention.
- a verification unit 424 for verifying whether the associated point in time of a particular position in the recording equals the desired point in time from which the signal representing the part of the recording desired by the user has been received.
- the user specifies the point in time from which the signal is known to have been received.
- the verification unit 424 compares this desired point in time with the position timestamps provided along the recording.
- a proceeding unit 426 for proceeding the recording to the position that corresponds with the desired point in time. In the present embodiment where the recording is stored as a file on a hard disk, the proceeding unit determines this position on the basis of an index table as described above.
- the proceedings unit needs to wind the tape to the required position while monitoring the timestamps along the recording.
- the reproduction device optionally includes an offset obtaining unit 428 for obtaining an offset indicating the difference between the scheduled broadcast time and the actual point in time from which the broadcast signal representing the desired part has been received.
- the offset may be retrieved from an Electronic Program Guide, for which the data are received through signal connection 420.
- the verification unit is arranged to verify whether the associated point in time equals the desired point in time on basis of the offset.
- the reproduction device is able to determine on the basis of the Electronic Program Guide the list of programs inside a recording if such a recording contains multiple programs. This list may be presented to the user. If the user selects one of the programs, the device directly proceeds to that program. The reproduction device determines the position to proceed to on the basis of the broadcast time, corrected with the offset if necessary.
