Abstract

It is provided a method for providing a main 3D content and a supplementary content used in a 3D multimedia device. The method comprises the steps of displaying the main 3D content; and triggering the supplementary content by a 3D related event of the main 3D content, wherein, depth value of the supplementary content is updated along with depth value change of the main 3D content.

Claims (16)

1 - 12 . (canceled)

13 . A method for providing a main 3D content and a supplementary content used in a 3D multimedia device, comprising:

displaying the main 3D content; and

triggering the supplementary content by a 3D related event of the main 3D content, wherein, depth value of the supplementary content is updated along with depth value change of the main 3D content.

14 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the 3D related event is compared to predetermined trigger conditions, for triggering the supplementary content when the predetermined trigger conditions are occurred in the main 3D content.

15 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the 3D related event of the main 3D content is part of a group comprising a depth value of the main 3D content, a 3D position, a 3D posture and a 3D scale of an object or a region of the main 3D content.

16 . The method according to claim 13 , further comprising displaying the supplementary content together with the main 3D content or separately from the main 3D content.

17 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the supplementary content is a collection of multimedia data including graphics, text, audio and/or video, and 3D image.

18 . The method according to the claim 13 , wherein, the main 3D content comprises an object interesting for user, the depth value of the supplementary content is updated to make the supplementary content stick to the object in the main 3D content.

19 . A 3D multimedia device for providing a main 3D content and a supplementary content, comprising:

a 3D display for displaying the main 3D content;

a user terminal for triggering the display of the supplementary content by a 3D related event of the main 3D content; and

an updater for updating depth value of the supplementary content along with depth value change of the main 3D content.

20 . The 3D multimedia device according to claim 19 , further comprising an event trigger list module for storing the 3D related event triggers including a depth value of the main 3D content, a 3D position, a 3D posture and a 3D scale of an object or a region of the main 3D content.

21 . The 3D multimedia device according to claim 19 , further comprising an event engine for checking the event triggers, comparing the 3D related event to predetermined trigger conditions, and searching the associated supplementary content to be displayed when the predetermined trigger conditions are occurred in the main 3D content.

22 . The 3D multimedia device according to the claim 19 , wherein, the main 3D content comprises an object interesting for user, the updater updates the depth value of the supplementary content to make the supplementary content stick to the object in the main 3D content.
