Abstract
According to some embodiments, a multi-media Transport Stream (TS) that encapsulates at least one Packetized Elementary Stream (PES) is received, and an Elementary Stream (ES) is encapsulated in the PES. An event occurring in the ES may be detected while the ES is encapsulated in the PES, and event information associated with the event may be stored in an index.
Claims34
A method, comprising:
- receiving a multi-media Transport Stream (TS) that encapsulates at least one Packetized Elementary Stream (PES), wherein the PES encapsulates an Elementary Stream (ES);
- detecting an event occurring within the ES while the ES is encapsulated in the PES;
- and
- storing, in an index, event information associated with the event.

An apparatus, comprising:
- an indexing control unit to receive a first stream of multi-media information that encapsulates a second stream of multi-media information;
- and
- an index to store event information associated with an event occurring within the second stream as detected by the indexing control unit while the second stream is encapsulated in the first stream.
A system, comprising:
- an indexing engine to detect an occurrence of an event in an Elementary Stream (ES) while the ES is encapsulated in a Packetized Elementary Stream (PES);
- an index storage unit to store information associated with the event;
- and
- a remote interface to facilitate multi-media content navigation by a viewer.
