US 2002/0176695 A1 · Information record medium, apparatus for recording the same and apparatus for reproducing the same

Abstract

An information recording apparatus (SS1) is provided with: a signal process device (72) for dividing record information (R) to be recorded into a plurality of partial record informations including at least video information, for applying a predetermined signal process to each of the partial record informations to thereby output processed partial record information (Sr, 42, 43, 44), and for generating and outputting, on the basis of control information (Si) which is inputted from the external to control a reproduction of the record information, additional information (Sac, 64: PGCI) including still time information (66E) indicative of a time for performing a still picture reproduction of a final picture of each of the partial record informations which is a picture included in each of the partial record informations at a final portion thereof after reproducing each of the partial record informations, at a time of reproducing the record information, the still time information being set for each of the partial record informations; a multiplex device (75, 76) for multiplexing the processed partial record information and the additional information to thereby generate multiplexed processed record information (Sap); and a record device (77, 78) for recording the multiplexed processed record information onto an information record medium (1: DVD).

Dependent claims

An information recording apparatus comprising:

a signal process means for dividing record information to be recorded into a plurality of partial record informations including at least video information, for applying a predetermined signal process to each of said partial record informations to thereby output processed partial record information, and for generating and outputting, on the basis of control information which is inputted from the external to control a reproduction of said record information, additional information including still time information indicative of a time for performing a still picture reproduction of a final picture of each of said partial record informations which is a picture included in each of said partial record informations at a final portion thereof after reproducing each of said partial record informations, at a time of reproducing said record information, said still time information being set for each of said partial record informations;
a multiplex means for multiplexing said processed partial record information and said additional information to thereby generate multiplexed processed record information;
and
a record means for recording said multiplexed processed record information onto an information record medium.

1 more element

processed partial record information generated by applying a predetermined signal process to each of partial record informations into which said record information is divided and which include at least video information;
and
still time information, which is included in said additional information and which indicates a time for performing a still picture reproduction of a final picture of each of said partial record informations, which is a picture included in each of said partial record informations at a final portion thereof, after reproducing each of said partial record informations at a time of reproducing said record information, said still time information being set for each of said partial record informations, said processed partial record information and said additional information being multiplexed and recorded on said information record medium.

An information reproducing apparatus for reproducing record information from an information record medium comprising a data structure stored in said information record medium and including:

processed partial record information generated by applying a predetermined signal process to each of partial record informations into which said record information is divided and which include at least video information;
and still time information, which is included in additional information and which indicates a time for performing a still picture reproduction of a final picture of each of said partial record informations, which is a picture included in each of said partial record informations at a final portion thereof, after reproducing each of said partial record informations, said still time information being set for each of said partial record informations, said processed partial record information and said additional information being multiplexed and recorded on said information record medium, said information reproducing apparatus comprising:
a detection and demodulation means for detecting and demodulating said processed partial record information and said additional information from said information record medium to thereby output a demodulation signal;
an extract means for extracting said additional information from said demodulation signal;
and
a control means for controlling the still picture reproduction of said final picture of each of said partial record informations, on the basis of said still time information included in said extracted additional information.
