Claims15
In an apparatus for reproducing information from an information storage medium having a storage area divided into a plurality of sections, for storing digital audio information and digital image information including a plurality of image change information and picture information, comprising:
- information reading means for reading information from said information storage medium;
- information demodulating means for demodulating the information read by said information reading means and outputting as demodulated information at least said image change control information and said picture information;
- transition period detecting means for detecting a starting portion and an ending portion of said demodulated picture information;
- and
- control means for selecting said image change control information to control said picture information output by said information demodulating means, so as to permit control of said picture information during the transition period of said picture information.
An apparatus for reproducing information from an information storage medium having a storage area divided into a plurality of sections, for storing digital audio information and digital image information, said digital image information including a plurality of image change control information and plural pieces of picture information, said apparatus comprising:
- information reading means for reading information from said information storage medium;
- information demodulating means for demodulating the information read by said information reading means and outputting demodulated information;
- command input means for inputting a command to select one of said image change control information and one piece of said picture information when said information from said information storage medium is reproduced;
- transition period detecting means for detecting a starting portion and an ending portion of said selected piece of picture information;
- and
- information reproducing means having a display means, for reproducing said selected picture information output by said information demodulating means on said display means in accordance with said selected image change control information during a transition period detected by said transition period detecting means.
An apparatus according to clam 10, wherein said information reproducing means includes a screen and said image change control information includes information for causing an image displayed by said information reproducing means to appear on said screen in time with a motion in which said screen is wiped.
