Abstract
Provided are a method and an apparatus for providing three-dimensional (3D) digital content by using a conventional system for providing two-dimensional (2D) digital content. The method includes generating an elementary stream (ES) regarding first data of 2D digital content, generating an ES regarding second data of 3D digital content, packetizing the ESs of the first data and the second data, and recording) the packetized second data and content information of the second data within header information of multiplexed stream of the packetized first data.
Claims17
A method of providing three-dimensional (3D) digital content, the method comprising:
- generating an elementary stream (ES) of first data of two-dimensional (2D) digital content;
- generating an ES of second data of 3D digital content;
- packetizing the ESs of the first data and the second data;
- and
- multiplexing the packetized ESs of the first and the second data to generate a multiplexed stream, wherein the packetized ES of the second data and content information of the second data are added within header information of the multiplexed stream.
An apparatus for providing 3D digital content, the apparatus comprising:
- a first encoder which generates an elementary stream (ES) of first data of 2D digital content;
- a second encoder which generates an ES of second data of 3D digital content;
- a packetizing unit which packetizes the ESs of the first data and the second data;
- and
- a multiplexer which adds the packetized ES of the second data and content information of the second data in header information of a multiplexed stream of the packetized ES of the first data.
A method of receiving 3D digital content, the method comprising:
- receiving a multiplexed stream of first data, wherein the first data is packetized 2D digital content;
- analyzing second data which is 3D digital content in header information of the received multiplexed stream of the first data, and content information of the second data;
- and
- decoding the multiplexed stream by using the analyzed content information of the second data.
An apparatus for receiving 3D digital content, the apparatus comprising:
- a data reception unit which receives a multiplexed stream of first data, wherein the first data is packetized 2D digital content;
- a demultiplexer which analyzes second data which is 3D digital content in header information of the received multiplexed stream of the first data, and content information of the second data;
- and
- a decoder which decodes the multiplexed stream by using the analyzed content information of the second data.
