Recording medium, reproduction apparatus, recording method, program, and reproduction method
View Patent ↗A BD-ROM has recorded therein an AV Clip generated by multiplexing a video stream and a graphics stream. The graphics stream represents an interactive display to be overlayed with the video stream, and includes a sequence of three Button State groups. The interactive display includes a plurality of buttons, each of which changes from a normal state to a selected state, and from the selected state to an active state, according to a user operation. In the three Button State groups in the graphics stream, the first-order group (N-ODSs) is made of a plurality of pieces of graphics data, which represent normal states of the buttons, the second-order group (S-ODSs) is made of a plurality of pieces of graphics data, which represent selected states of the buttons, and the third-order group (A-ODSs) is made of a plurality of pieces of graphics data, which represent active states of the buttons.
1. A reproduction apparatus for reproducing a digital stream into which a video stream and a graphics stream are multiplexed, said reproduction apparatus comprising:
a video decoder operable to decode the video stream into a motion picture made of a plurality of pictures; and
a graphics decoder operable to decode the graphics stream representing an interactive display overlaid with the motion picture, the interactive display including a plurality of graphical button materials;
wherein:
the graphics stream includes a plurality of pieces of graphics data that are grouped under state sets;
the state sets respectively correspond to different states of at least one button material and are disposed in a sequential order; and
said graphics decoder uses, for presenting the initial display of the interactive display, graphics data belonging to a top state set and at least a piece of graphics data that belong to a second-order state set, and uses remaining graphics data for updating the interactive display upon a user operation.
2. A recording method for recording to a recording medium, said method comprising:
creating application data; and
recording the created data to the recording medium;
wherein:
the application data includes a digital stream generated by multiplexing a video stream and a graphics stream;
the video stream represents a motion picture made of a plurality of pictures;
the graphics stream represents an interactive display overlaid with the motion picture, the interactive display including a plurality of graphical button materials;
the graphics stream includes a plurality of pieces of graphics data that are grouped under state sets; and
the state sets respectively correspond to different states of the respective button materials and are disposed in a sequential order.
3. A recording medium comprising a program for enabling a computer to reproduce a digital stream into which a video stream and a graphics stream are multiplexed, said program comprising code operable to cause the computer to perform:
a decoding of the video stream into a motion picture made of a plurality of pictures; and
a display of an interactive display overlaid with the motion picture, the interactive display including a plurality of graphical button materials;
wherein:
the graphics stream includes a plurality of pieces of graphics data that are grouped under state sets;
the state sets respectively correspond to different states of and are disposed in a sequential order; and
in said displaying of the interactive display, graphics data belonging to a top state set and at least a piece of graphics data that belong to a second-order state set are used for presenting an initial display of the interactive display, and remaining graphics data is used for updating the interactive display upon a user operation.
4. A method of reproducing a digital stream into which a video stream and a graphics stream are multiplexed, said reproduction method comprising:
decoding the video stream into a motion picture made of a plurality of pictures; and
displaying an interactive display overlaid with the motion picture, the interactive display including a plurality of graphical button materials;
wherein:
the graphics stream includes a plurality of pieces of graphics data that are grouped under state sets;
the state sets respectively correspond to different states of at least one button material and are disposed in a sequential order; and
in said displaying of the interactive display, graphics data belonging to a top state set and at least a piece of graphics data that belong to a second-order state set are used for presenting an initial display of the interactive display, and remaining graphics data is used for updating the interactive display upon a user operation.
