Abstract
An apparatus for controlling the reproduction of multimedia includes an input unit for receiving a SMIL document, a SMIL analyzer for analyzing the SMIL document and generating a DOM tree based thereon, a control table generator for generating a predetermined control table with reference to the DOM tree and a media reproducing unit for reproducing a media data of the SMIL document. The apparatus also includes a controller for controlling the media reproducing unit with reference to the control table. A method for controlling reproduction of multimedia also analyzes a SMIL document. Through the apparatus and method, the multimedia data is effectively controlled in a limited resource system in which a multi-processing is not supported.
Claims38
A multimedia reproducing apparatus comprising:
- an input unit which receives a SMIL document;
- a SMIL analyzer generates a DOM tree from the SMIL document;
- a control table generator which generates a predetermined control table with reference to the DOM tree;
- a media reproducing unit which reproduces media data of the SMIL document;
- and
- a controller which controls the media reproducing unit with reference to the control table.
A multimedia reproducing method comprising:
- generating a DOM tree from an SMIL document;
- generating a control table with reference to the DOM tree;
- driving a timer;
- and
- reproducing or stopping reproduction of media items of the SMIL document with reference to the control table while the timer is driven.
A method for controlling reproduction of media information, comprising:
- identifying a number of media items specified in a SMIL document;
- generating a table which associates each of the number of media items and with a time;
- and
- controlling reproduction of the number of media items based on the table.
A system for controlling reproduction of media information, comprising:
- an analyzer which identifies a number of media items specified in a SMIL document;
- a generator which generates a table which associates each of the number of media items and with a time;
- and
- a controller which controls reproduction of the number of media items based on the table.
