Abstract
Provided are a method to display a mark-up document according to a parental level, a method and an apparatus for reproducing AV data in an interactive mode, and a data storage medium. The data storage medium includes the AV data, and mark-up documents to reproduce the AV data in an interactive mode. Here, among the mark-up documents, a start-up document contains information on the mark-up documents to be displayed according to a set parental level.
Claims29
An apparatus to reproduce AV data of a data storage medium in an interactive mode using a mark-up document, comprising:
- a reader reading the mark-up document and AV data from the data storage medium;
- an AV decoder decoding the AV data;
- a presentation engine identifying a predetermined value of an element of the mark-up document and determining whether to display the element depending on the predetermined value and to display rule information;
- and
- a blender blending a mark-up document interpreted by the presentation engine and an AV screen obtained by reproducing the AV data.
A reproduction system, comprising:
- a data storage medium;
- an apparatus to reproduce AV data recorded on the data storage medium in an interactive mode using a mark-up document corresponding to the AV data;
- and
- a display device to display a mark-up screen obtained using the mark-up document with an AV screen obtained by reproducing the AV data, wherein the AV screen is embedded in the mark-up screen.
An apparatus to reproduce data from a data storage medium, comprising:
- a reader reading the data from the data storage medium;
- and
- a controller outputting a control signal to the reader to read AV data and a mark-up document from the data storage medium, wherein, in an interactive mode, the controller interprets the mark-up document corresponding to a parental level set by a user indicative of whether to reproduce the AV data recorded on the data storage medium.
An apparatus to reproduce data from a data storage medium, comprising:
- a reader reading the data from the data storage medium;
- and
- a controller outputting a control signal to the reader to read AV data and a mark-up document from the data storage medium, wherein, in an interactive mode, the controller interprets the mark-up document corresponding to a user set parental level indicative of whether to reproduce one or more elements of the mark-up document.
