- the reading device according to the present invention is a reading device 200.
- This reading apparatus 200 is used in a home theater system including a plurality of BD-ROMs having BD-ROM 100 power, a remote controller 300, a television 400, an AV amplifier 500, and a speaker 600 power.
- the reading device 200 is a network-compatible digital home appliance, and has a function of playing the BD-ROM 100.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a file 'directory structure in the BD-ROM.
- the BD-ROM has a BDMV directory under the Root directory.
- FIG. 2 shows the internal structure of the BD-ROM.
- the BD-ROM is shown in the fourth row of this figure, and the tracks on the BD-ROM are shown in the third row.
- the track in this figure is drawn by stretching the track formed in a spiral shape from the inner periphery to the outer periphery of the BD-ROM in the horizontal direction.
- This track includes a lead-in area, a volume area, and a lead-out area.
- the volume area in this figure has a layer model of physical layer, file system layer, and application layer. If the application layer format of BD-ROM (application format) is expressed using the directory structure, it becomes like the first level in the figure. In the first stage, the BD-ROM has a BDMV directory under the Root directory.
- BDMV directory there are files (index.bdmv, MovieObject.bdmv) with the extension bdmv.
- BDMV directory Under the BDMV directory, there are also six subdirectories called PLAYLIST directory, CLIPINF directory, STREAM directory, BDBJ directory, BDJA directory, and AUXDATA directory.
- the CLIPINF directory contains a file (OOOOl.clpi) with the extension clpi.
- the STREAM directory contains a file (00001.m2ts) with the extension m2ts.
- the BDBJ directory contains a file (00001. bob j) with the extension bobj.
- In the BDJA directory there is a file with the extension jar (00001.jar).
- FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing how the file with the extension .m2ts is configured.
- the file with the extension .m2ts (00001.m2ts) stores an AVClip.
- AVClip is a digital stream in the MPEG2- Transport Stream format. This digital stream converts digital video and digital audio obtained by digitalizing film video, NTSC video, and PAL video (top 1) into an elementary stream consisting of PES packets (top 2).
- TS packets (Stage), and further converted to TS packets (upper third stage), the same presentation graphics stream (Presentation Graphics (PG) stream) and interactive interactive graphics stream (Interactive Graphics (IG) stream) (Bottom 1st, 2nd tier) is converted into TS packets (bottom 3rd tier) and these are multiplexed.
- PG Presentation Graphics
- IG Interactive Graphics
- the PG stream is an elementary list that realizes subtitle display as the playback of the moving image progresses
- the IG stream is an elementary list that realizes a GUI as the playback of the moving image progresses.
- a playback unit (picture, etc.) played in one PTS in a video stream is called a “Video Presentation Unit”.
- One of the audio streams, the playback unit played in one PTS, is Audio Presentation Unit '.
- the PES packets constituting the AVClip constitute one or more "STC_Sequence".
- STC_Sequence is an array of PES packets, and there is no system clock (Dase discontinuity) in the system clock (STC no. Since it is a requirement of STC_Sequence that there is no STC discontinuity point, it is a PES packet located immediately after the STC discontinuity in the PES packet sequence that constitutes one STC_Sequence, and PCR ( One STC_Sequence extends from the one containing the Program Clock Reference) to just before the next STC discontinuity point.
- Figure 4 shows how the TS packets that make up an AVClip go through the BD-ROM Indicates whether to be written to.
- the TS packet that constitutes the AVClip is shown in the first row of the figure.
- the 188-byte TS packet that constitutes the AVClip is appended with 4-byte TS_extr ajieader (hatched portion in the figure) as shown in the second row, and becomes a 192-byte long Source packet.
- the Source packet that constitutes the AVClip constitutes one or more “ATC_Sequence” in the AVClip at the third level.
- ATC_Sequence refers to an array of Source packets that do not have, consecutive arms ⁇ no arnv al time-base discontinutiy) in the Arrival- Time- Clock that is referred to. Say. If it is good, the source packet sequence that has continuity in the Arrival_Time_Clock referenced by the ArrivaLTime_Stamp is "ATC—Sequence"! Uh.
- the ATC_Sequence becomes an AVClip, and is recorded on the BD-ROM with the file name xxxxx.m2ts.
- Such an AVClip is divided into a plurality of file extents and recorded in an area on the BD-ROM, like a normal computer file.
- the fourth row shows how the AVClip is recorded on the BD-ROM.
- Each file extent constituting the file in the fourth stage has a data length equal to or greater than a predetermined Sexetent.
- Taccess is the time (msec) given according to the jump distance
- jump distance (number of logical blocks) is between 0 and 5000, 179ms,
- jump distance (number of logical blocks) is between 5001 and 10,000, 210 milliseconds
- jump distance (number of logical blocks) is between 10,001 and 20,000
- the jump distance is a full stroke, it will be 1220 ms.
- TS packets from which BD-ROM power is also read are stored in a buffer called a read buffer.
- a read buffer In addition, if the number of sectors in the ECC block is set to Secc
- the TS packet from which the BD-ROM capability is also read is stored in the read buffer in the state of the source packet, and then supplied to the decoder at a transfer rate of TS_Recording_rate.
- TS packet output from the read buffer to the decoder must be continued during Tjump in order to keep the TS packet supply to the decoder at the transfer rate of TS_Recording_rate.
- the output from the read buffer is made in the state of the source packet that is not the TS packet, so if the size ratio of the TS packet to the source packet is 192/188, during the Tjump, (192/188 X TS_Recording_rate) Therefore, the source packet output from the read buffer must be continued.
- Tx Boccupied / (Rud— TS— Recording— rate X (192/188))
- Each file extent that constitutes an AVClip has a data length that is equal to or greater than the Sextent thus calculated, so that even if each file extent that constitutes an AVClip is discretely located on the BD-ROM, During playback, TS packets are continuously read without interrupting the supply of TS packets to the decoder.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a correspondence relationship between a physical unit of a BD-ROM and a source bucket constituting one file extent.
- a plurality of sectors are formed on the BD-ROM.
- the source packets that make up the file extent are grouped every 32 and written to three consecutive sectors.
- the 32 Source buckets stored in 3 sectors are called "Aligned Unit".
- encryption is performed in Aligned Unit units.
- the error correction code is added in units of 32 sectors, and an ECC block is configured.
- the reader can obtain 32 complete source packets as long as the BD-ROM is accessed in units of aligned units. This is the process of writing AVClip to D-ROM.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing what elementary streams are multiplexed on the AVClip.
- the AVClip includes a high-quality video stream having a PID of 0x1011, a primary audio stream having a PID of 0x1100 to 0x111F, a PG stream having a PID of 0x1200 to 0xl21F, and from 0x1400 IG streams with PIDs up to 0xl41F are multiplexed.
- the packets that make up these elementary streams are given a corresponding PID, and are demultiplexed using this PID as a clue.
- the file with the extension .clpi contains Clip information.
- Clip information is management information for each AVClip.
- FIG. 7 shows the internal structure of Clip information. As shown on the left side of this figure, Clip information is
- Sequence Info is information on one or more STC-sequences and ATC-sequences included in the AVClip. The significance of providing this information is to notify the reading device in advance of the STC and ATC discontinuities. In other words, if such discontinuities exist, the same value of PTS and ATS may appear in the AV Clip, causing inconvenience during playback. Sequence Info is provided to indicate where the STC and ATC are continuous from where in the transport stream.
- Program Info is information indicating a section (Program Sequence) in which Program content is constant.
- a program is a collection of elementary streams that share the time axis for synchronized playback.
- the significance of having Program Info is to notify the reading device in advance of changes in Program content.
- the change point of the program content here means that the PID of the video stream has changed, or the video stream type has changed from SDTV to HDTV.
- Leader cu2 in the figure closes up the CPI configuration.
- the CPI is Ne EP_ma p—for—one—stream—PID (EP—map—for—one—stream—PID (0) to EP—map—for—one—stream—PID (Ne-1)).
- EP_map_for_one_stream_PIDs are EP_maps for individual elementary streams belonging to the AVClip.
- EP_map is information indicating the packet number (SPN_EP_start) at the entry position where the Access Unit Delimiter exists on one elementary stream in association with the entry time (PTS_EP_start).
- Lead line cu 3 in the figure closes up the internal structure of EP_map_for_one_stream_PID.
- the EP—map—for—one—stream—PID has Nc EP—High (EP—High (0) to EP—High (Nc-1)) and Nf EPf ow (EP ⁇ ow (0) ⁇ EP ⁇ ow (Nf-l)) where EP—High is the SPN—EP—start and Access Unit (Non-IDR I picture, IDR picture)
- EP ⁇ ow has a role to represent the lower bits of SPN_EP_start and PTS_EP_start of Access Unit (Non-IDR I picture, ID R picture).
- EP_High (i) is the reference value for EP ⁇ ow “ref_to_EP ⁇ ow_id [i]” and the upper bits of PTS of Access Unit (Non-IDR I picture, IDR picture) “PTS_EP_High [i]” indicating “SPN_EP_High [i]” indicating the upper bits of the SPN of the Access Unit (Non-IDR I picture, IDR picture).
- i is an identifier for identifying any EP_High.
- EP ⁇ ow is “is_angle — change_point (EP ⁇ ow_id)” indicating whether or not the corresponding Access Unit is an IDR picture and “end_position_offset ( EP ⁇ ow_id) '' and ⁇ PTS_EP ⁇ ow (EP ⁇ owjd) '' indicating the lower bits of the PTS of the corresponding Access Unit (Non-IDR I picture, IDR picture) and the corresponding Access Unit (Non-IDR I picture) “SPN_EP ⁇ ow (EP ⁇ ow_id)” indicating the low-order bits of the SPN of the (CHR, IDR picture).
- EP ⁇ owjd is an identifier for identifying an arbitrary EP ⁇ ow.
- Fig. 8 shows the EPjnap settings for the movie video stream.
- the first level is a number of pins arranged in the display order.
- the picture (IDR picture, I picture, B picture, P picture specified in MPEG4-AVC) is shown, and the second row shows the time axis in the picture.
- the fourth row shows the TS packet sequence on the BD-ROM, and the third row shows the EP_map setting.
- the file with the extension “mpls” (0 0001.mpls) is a file storing PlayList (PL) information.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the data structure of the playlist information.
- the playlist information includes MainPath information (MainPathO) that defines MainPath and chapters, as indicated by the lead line mpi.
- PlayListMark information (PlayListMarkO).
- MainPath is a playback path defined for the video stream that is the main video.
- MainPath is defined from a plurality of Playltem information # 1 ⁇ '#m as indicated by an arrow mpl.
- Playltem information defines one or more logical playback sections that make up the MainPath.
- the structure of the Playltem information is highlighted by the lead line hsl.
- the Playltem information includes “ClipJnformation_file_name” indicating the file name of the playback section information of the AVClip to which the IN point and Out point of the playback section belong, “Clip_codec_identifier” indicating the encoding method of the AVClip, “Is_multi_angle” indicating whether or not Playltem forms a multi-angle, “connection_condition” indicating whether or not to seamlessly connect this Playltem to the previous Playltem, and this Playltem “Ref_to_STC_id [0]” that uniquely indicates the STC_Sequence being used, the time information “In_time” that indicates the start point of the playback section, the time information “Out_time” that indicates the end point of the playback section, and the!
- Playltem_random_access_flag indicating whether or not random access is permitted
- Still_mode indicating whether or not the last picture is still displayed after playback of this Play system
- STN_table Is done.
- FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the relationship between AVClip and playlist information.
- the first level shows the time axis of the playlist information.
- the second to fifth tiers show the video stream (same as shown in Fig. 8) referenced in EP_map.
- the playlist information includes two pieces of Playltem information, Playltem information # 1 and # 2, and two playback sections are defined by In_time and Out_time of these Playltem information # 1 and # 2.
- a time axis different from the AVClip time axis is defined. This is the Playltem time axis shown in the first row. In this way, the definition of Playltem information makes it possible to define a time axis that is different from AVClip.
- the above clip information and playlist information are classified as “static scenarios”. This is because a playlist, which is a static playback unit, is defined by the above clip information and playlist information. This completes the explanation of the static scenario.
- a dynamic scenario is scenario data that dynamically defines playback control of AVClip. “Dynamically” means that the content of playback control is changed by a state change in the reading device or a key event of user power!
- BD-ROM assumes two modes as the operating environment for this playback control. The first is an operating environment that is very similar to the operating environment of a DV D reader, and is a command-based execution environment. The second is the operating environment of the Java (registered trademark) virtual machine. The first of these two operating environments is called HDMV mode. The second is called BD-J mode. Because there are these two operating environments, the dynamic scenario is described assuming either operating environment.
- a dynamic scenario assuming HDMV mode is called Movie Object.
- the dynamic scenario assuming BD-J mode is called BD-J Object.
- Movie Object is stored in a file called MovieObject.bdmv shown in FIG. 2 and includes a navigation command string.
- the navigation command string is composed of command strings that realize conditional branching, setting of the status register in the reading device, acquisition of setting values of the status register, and the like.
- the commands that can be described in Movie Object are shown below.
- the first argument is the playlist number, which can specify the playlist to be played.
- the second argument can specify the playback start position using the Playltem included in the playlist, any time in the playlist, Chapter, Mark.
- PlayPL function that specifies the playback start position on the PL time axis by Playltem
- the PlayPL function specifying the playback start position on the PL time axis according to Chapter PlayPLatChapter (),
- PlayPLatSpecifiedTimeO is a PlayPL function that specifies the playback start position on the PL time axis based on time information.
- the JMP command is a branch that discards the current dynamic scenario and executes the branch destination dynamic scenario as an argument.
- Movie Object The description of navigation commands in Movie Object is very similar to the description method of navigation commands in DVD. Therefore, the task of porting disc contents on DVD to BD-ROM can be performed efficiently.
- Movie Object there is a prior art described in the following international publications. Please refer to this International Publication for details.
- BD-J Object is a BD-J mode dynamic scenario described in the Java (registered trademark) programming environment, and is stored in a file 00001-00003.bobj.
- FIG. 11 shows the internal structure of the BD-J Object. It consists of an application management table (AMT) and a playlist management table (PLMT).
- AMT application management table
- PLMT playlist management table
- the difference from Movie Object is that the command is directly written in BD-J 0 bject! In other words,! /, The control procedure was directly described in the Movie Object by the navigation command.
- the control procedure is indirectly defined by describing the specification for Java (registered trademark) application in the application management table. With such indirect rules, it is possible to efficiently share the control procedure, that is, to share the control procedure in multiple dynamic scenarios.
- Java (registered trademark) application in the BD-J mode will be described.
- BD-J mode assumes that the Java (registered trademark) platform is Java (registered trademark) 2Micro_Edition (J2ME) Personal Basis Profile (PBP 1.0) and Globally Executable MHP specification (GEM1.0.2) for It is a full implementation of package media targets.
- the Java (registered trademark) application in the BD-J mode is controlled by the Application Manager through the xlet interface.
- the xlet interface has “loaded”, “paused”, active, destoryed and so on.

- BD-J Object uses this information to control application behavior
- the survival period refers to an interval in which the application can survive on the work memory of the virtual machine on the time axis of the entire BD-ROM.
- "Survival" in the work memory is the state in which the xlet program power that constitutes the application is read into the work memory in the Java (registered trademark) virtual machine and can be executed by the Java (registered trademark) virtual machine Say
- a disc supplied as a read-only disc such as a DVD-Video has a structure having a top menu title as a core.
- a unique state transition is made in which the top menu title is branched into individual works and played back, and then returned to the top menu title again.
- FIG. 14 is a diagram showing state transition in the disk.
- the square frame in this figure is Title.
- a Title is a playback unit that corresponds to one "state" in a disc-specific state transition. This title power Java (registered trademark) application life zone Treated as an interim.
- Title includes "FirstPlayTitle” that is played first when BD-ROM is loaded, “Top_menuTitle” that constitutes Top-Menu, and general “Title” other than these.
- arrows jhl, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 in the figure symbolically indicate the branching between Titles. The state transition shown in this figure means that during BD-ROM loading, “FirstPlayTitle” is played, branching to “Top_menuTitle” occurs, and selection for the top menu is awaited.
- FIG. 15 (a) is a diagram showing the time axis of the entire disk
- FIG. 15 (b) shows the configuration on this time axis. As shown in Fig.
- the time axis of the entire disc is also the same as the section where FirstPlay Title is played, the section where TopMenu Title is played, and the section where title # l to # 3 are played .
- the title is composed of only one BD-J Object, so the BD-J Object power is considered as the Title playback section. be able to.
- a Title is composed of one or more HDMV Objects, a period during which the HDMV Object is valid can be considered as a Title playback section.
- FIG. 16 (a) is a diagram showing a title playback section specified by the BD-J Object power specified by the identifier bobjjd on the time axis of the entire BD-ROM.
- the BD-J Object power specified by the identifier bobjjd does not constitute one Title. Therefore, one section on the BD-ROM time axis in which the BD-J Object specified by the identifier bobjjd is valid can be considered as the Title playback section.
- the end of the period in which the BD-J Object is activated is until the Title branch is made.
- the dynamic scenario that is the target of execution until the Title branch is taken is treated as a powerful BD-J Object, so one section until the JumpTitle occurs in that BD-J Object Treat as interval.
- a playlist playback procedure can be described as one processing procedure. If there is a description of the playlist playback procedure, all or part of the PL time axis described above belongs to the Title section. Assume that a playlist management table is described in 80 Object in the example of Fig. 16 (&).

- ap plication # 3 is activated on both title # l and title # 2.
- Fig. 19 (a) when the lifetime of each application is graphed.
- the horizontal axis is the title playback section, and the live sections of each application are arranged in the vertical axis direction.
- applications and application ⁇ belong only to title # l, so their life spans remain in title # l. Since applications belong to title # 2 only, these lives remain in title # 2. Since application ⁇ belongs only to title # 3, these life spans remain in title # 3. Since applications belong to title # l and title # 2, their life span spans title # l—title # 2.
- the startup attribute includes “AutoRun” indicating automatic startup, “Present” indicating that it is not the target of automatic startup, but can be placed in the virtual machine work memory, and the power stored in the virtual machine work memory C There is a “Suspend” that disables PU power allocation.
- AutoRun is an attribute indicating that the application is read into the work memory and executed simultaneously with the branching of the corresponding title.
- the management entity application manager
- the management entity that manages the application is alive at the branch destination title and the application whose startup attribute is set to AutoRun Read into work memory and execute.
- the application is automatically activated along with the title branch.
- the activation attribute “Present” is a continuation attribute and indicates that the state of the application at the branch source title is continued. This attribute indicates that the corresponding application should be executed.
- the activation attribute power S is “Pre Sent ”
- an application with this activation attribute is permitted to be called from another application.
- the management entity application manager
- the application ID of the application It is determined whether the activation attribute is “Present”. If “Present”, the application is loaded into work memory. On the other hand, if the application ID of the call destination application is described in the application management table !, NA! /, The application is not loaded into the work memory.
- the call by the application is limited to the application to which this “Present” is given. Since “Present” is a default start attribute that is given when the start attribute is not explicitly specified, if the start attribute of an application is unspecified “one-”, the start attribute of that application The activation attribute means this Present.
- Suspend means that the application is placed in a state where resources are allocated and CPU power is not allocated. Suspend, which is powerful, is meaningful for realizing a process of passing through a side path during the execution of a game title, for example.
- FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating combinations that can take three modes (Present, AutoRun, Suspend) that the start attribute can take and three modes of application status in the immediately preceding title (non-starting, starting, Suspend). If the previous state is "not activated”, if the activation attribute is ⁇ 'AutoRun ", the application is activated in the branch destination title.
- the activation attribute is "Suspend”
- the state of the application is suspended.
- Suspend is maintained if the start attribute of the branch destination title is “Suspend”. If it is "Present” or "AutoRun”, the application will resume in the branch title.
- startup priority takes a value between 0 and 255, indicating which application is forced to terminate when memory resources are exhausted or when the CPU load is high, and from which application the resource is deprived. ! /, It will be a judgment material when the application manager performs the processing. In this case, the application manager performs a process of ending the operation of the application having a low activation priority and continuing the operation of the application having a high activation priority.
- the activation priority is also used in mediation between applications when requests for the playlist being played compete. It is assumed that a playlist with a certain application power is fast-forwarded. If another application makes a pause request for the same playlist, the activation priorities assigned to these applications are compared. If the start priority of the application that ordered fast-forwarding is high, fast-forwarding by such an application is continued. Conversely, if the priority of the application that ordered the pause is high, pause the playlist during fast-forwarding.
- the playlist management table is a table indicating playback control that should be performed simultaneously with the execution of each application in the lifetime of the application.
- the application behavior is unstable, and there may be a startup failure or abnormal termination. Therefore, as a Fail Safe mechanism in case of startup failure or abnormal termination, a playlist management table is provided for each application life cycle in this embodiment.
- the playlist management table is information that specifies the playback control that should be performed at the same time as the life cycle of an application starts. This playback control refers to playlist information. AVClip playback based on information, and by performing playback control based on playlist information at the same time, application execution and playlist playback are performed simultaneously.

- the management entity application manager
- the playback attribute is set to AutoPlay. Start playing the list.
- a playlist whose activation attribute is set to AutoPlay is automatically activated along with the title branch.
- “Present” is a continuation attribute, like Present in the activation attribute, and indicates that the state of the playlist at the branch source title is continued. This attribute indicates that the corresponding playlist can be played. For example, there are two titles that are played back in succession. In the playlist management table on the previous title side, the playback attribute of a playlist is set to AutoPlay, and in the playlist management table on the current title side, the playlist Assume that the playback attribute of is set to Present. Here, it is assumed that the playback time power of the playlist is three hours long, and a branch occurs when one hour has elapsed. In this case, since the playback attribute is set to Present for the current title, The Eristo will be played back immediately after the 1 hour played section.
- playlist playback can be started from the remaining part. This makes it possible to easily realize a “common playlist reproduction between titles” in which a common playlist is reproduced in a series of titles that are branched. If there are multiple branch destination titles, if all of the playback attributes of these multiple titles are set to Present, one common playlist playback can be continued no matter which of the multiple branches is branched.
- playlist playback is interrupted before and after branching. It is permissible.
- the playback attribute is "Pre Se nt" playlists this playback attribute is assigned, it will be reproduced by a reproduction request from another application.
- the management entity application manager
- the management entity that manages the application receives a playlist playback request from the running application, it is described in the PLjd_rel3 ⁇ 4 playlist management table of the playlist that received the request and played back. Determine whether the attribute is “AutoPlay” or “Present”! If “AutoPlay“ Present ”is selected, the playlist is played. On the other hand, if it is not described in the PLjcLrel ⁇ playlist management table of the requested playlist, the playlist is not played back. Play list playback at the request of the application is limited to playlists with “AutoPlay” or “Present”!
- Pre Se nt the playback from a playback attribute of the default, which is provided when you do not explicitly specify a playback attribute, when the playback attribute of a play list is a non-specified "eleven" of the play list

- FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the application manager 37.
- Step S1 determines whether a title jump has occurred. If there is a title jump, the title is switched in step S3.
- Step S2 is a determination as to whether or not a disc ejection has been performed. If a disc ejection has been performed, the function restriction unit 38 is instructed to change the running Signed application to an Unsigned application (step S2). S4) After displaying a message prompting you to replace the disk (Step S5), wait for loading of a new disk (Step S6) o If loading is performed, the loaded disk is a scheduled one. It is determined whether or not there is (step S7). If not, go to step S8.
- each BD-ROM that makes up a BD-BOX records “the identifier of the next disk to be loaded”.
- the application manager 37 reads “the identifier of the next disk to be loaded” recorded on the disk A when the disk A is loaded. Then, after ejecting disc A, if a new BD-ROM is loaded, the disc identifier is read, and the discriminating power read from this new BD-ROM disc is recorded on disc A. Discriminator of the disk to be loaded ”. If they match, the newly loaded BD-ROM is a sequel of the multiple BD-ROMs that make up the BD-BOX, and the determination result is “Scheduled disc loaded” Down.
- step S8 a predetermined menu is displayed and it is confirmed whether or not the application across the discs can be terminated.
- FIG. 32 (a) is a display example of a message for prompting disk replacement
- FIG. 32 (b) is an example of a menu displayed in step S8.
- Figure 32 (a) Message This includes that the playback of the disc A has been completed and that the disc A is ejected to prompt the loading of the disc A + 1.
- the menu in Fig. 32 (b) shows the message "The application has been started and cannot be executed with the loaded disc. Are you sure you want to quit the application! ”And“ Disk reinsert button ”.
- the disk unboundary application In the first place, the disk unboundary application is expected to work even if the disk is replaced. It is inconvenient if it ends because the user accidentally inserts a disk, even though it is originally an application that wants to continue running. Therefore, if the disc unboundary application is running, but the AMT in the FirstPlay title of the newly inserted disc is supposed to show the disc unboundary application, the user may see the wrong disk The above-mentioned menu is displayed, and it is confirmed whether or not the currently running disk boundary application can be terminated.
- Step S9 is a determination as to which of the continue button on the menu and the disk reinsert button has been confirmed. If the user wants to play another disc that is not related to Disc A and confirms the Continue button, the running Unsigned application is terminated (Step S10) and the FirstPlay title on the new disc is current. Set the title (Step S11) and start playing the AutoPlay playlist of the current title from the beginning (Step S12
- step S 20 the disc is ejected (step S 20), and the process proceeds to step S 6.
- the application since the application is not terminated, the operation of the application continues. In this way, if a disc different from the disc is loaded, it should not be executed at the same time as a disc with no title unboundary application power related. In addition, user confusion can be prevented by leaving the user the choice of whether to reinsert the disk or keep the application running.
- FIG. 33 is a timing chart schematically showing the processing of the application manager 37 when a disk that has not been scheduled is loaded.
- the first row in the figure shows the sequence of ejecting disk A, the period when there is no disk, and the loading of the disk (disk B) and! /.
- the second row shows the messages and menus displayed in the first row. During a period when there is no disk, a message prompting you to replace the disk is displayed. If an unscheduled disk is loaded, a menu is displayed. This menu is shown in Figure 32 (b).
- the third level shows the processing when the continue button is confirmed for the menu in the second level. In this case, the operation of the disc unboundary application is terminated, and playback of the FirstPlay title of the newly loaded disc is started.
- the fourth row shows the processing when the disc reinsert button is confirmed for the menu in the second row. In this case, the operation of the disk unboundary application is not terminated and another disk is loaded.
- FIG. 34 shows the processing of the application manager 37 shown in FIG. 33 for each case.

- the menu shown in Fig. 32 (b) is displayed. By confirming the disk reinsert button in this menu, the disk power It will be ejected. [0139] The description of the processing of each step in Fig. 31 is resumed.
- step S7 becomes Yes and the process moves to step S13.
- step S13 the FirstPlay title of the new disc is made the current title (step S13), and it is written in the AMT of the current title that was written in the previous title AMT! It is determined whether or not there is an unsigned application X in operation (step S14). If there is a strong unsigned application, the operation of the unsigned application X is terminated (step S15).
- Step S16 is a determination as to whether or not there is an operating unsigned application y described in the AMT of the previous title and described in the AMT of the current title. If there is a powerful unsigned application y (Yes in step S16), the function restriction unit 38 is instructed to change the unsigned application y to a signed application (step S17), and the operation of the application continues. (Step S18).
- step S19 in the AutoPlay playlist of the current title, the corresponding head part such as a warning text is skipped, and playback of the AutoPlay playlist is started.
- the reason is as follows.
- FIG. 35 is a diagram showing a case where the FirstPlay title of the disc A + 1 is normally played back and a case where the FirstPlay title of the disc A + 1 is skipped played back.
- the first row in the figure shows a series of flows, such as Disc A loading, Disc A title playback, Disc A eject, Disc A + 1 loading, Disc A + 1 title playback.
- the second row shows the case where the normal playback of the FirstPlay title on Disc A + 1 is performed
- the third row shows the case where the first part of the FirstPlay title on Disc A + 1 is skipped.
- the second tier shows the warning text, the power of the main disc being displayed after the other disc trailers are displayed, and the third tier shows these. It is not shown, and it can be seen that the main part is suddenly started. In this way, if you continue watching Disc A + 1 after watching Disc A, you do not have to watch the warning text in the FirstPlay title on Disc A + 1. Can be realized.
- the disc A is not played and the playback is started from the disc A + 1, the warning message described above is played, so that the custom during movie playback can be maintained.
- FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing a playlist playback procedure by the playback control engine 32.
- This playback procedure includes control over the playback engine 31 (step S106) and control over the BD-ROM drive 1 or the local storage 20 (step S108).
- Playltem to be processed in this flowchart is called Playltemfe.
- the power rent PL information (.mpls) is read (step S101), and then the processing from step S102 to step S110 is executed.
- step S102 to step SI10 are repeated until the process of step S103 to step S110 is repeated for each PI information constituting the current PL information until step S109 becomes Yes! Configures loop processing.
- PlayItem # x (PI # x).
- This Playltemfe is initialized in step S102.
- the above loop processing termination requirement is that this Playltemfe becomes the last Playltem in the current playlist (step S109), and if it is not the last Playltem, the next playlist in the current playlist will be PlayItem is set to PlayItem # x (step S110).
- Step S103 to SI10 which are repeatedly executed in the loop process, read the Clip information specified by Clip_information_file_name of Playlm m # x into the scenario memory 22 (Step S103), and set the Inftime of Playltemfe to the current Using the EPmap of Clip information, it is converted to an I picture address u (step S104), and OuUime of Playltemfe is converted to an I picture address v using an EP_map of current Clip information (step S105).
- the I picture located at address V is not enough, and picture data following OuUime of Playltemfe is also required. This is because the picture data corresponding to OuUime of Playltemfe may refer to the picture data in the future direction.
- the Access Unit that is, the address of the I picture corresponding to the head of the GOP is associated with the reproduction time of the I picture. Therefore, the end address of the GOP to which the picture data corresponding to OuUime of Playltem #x belongs is specified by specifying the next one of the I picture addresses indicated in EP_map and the I picture address V. This can be determined by obtaining the address of the previous I picture (address w) (step S107). By using the address w thus calculated, the BD-ROM drive 1 or the local storage 20 is instructed to read the TS packet from the I picture address u to the address w (step S108). All picture data that is referenced by picture data corresponding to OuUime in Playltemfe is read into the decoder.
- Playltemfe is the last PI in the current playlist (step S109).
- step S110 the next Playltem in the current playlist is set to Playltemfe (step S110), and the process returns to step S103.
- the PIs constituting the playlist are sequentially played back.
- step S102 the Playltem power Playltemfe instructed from the application manager 37 is set in the current playlist information.
- Playltem at the beginning of the main part of Playltem, which is a warning sentence, etc.
- the prescription manager 37 instructs, the play of the playlist is started by skipping a warning message or the like.
- the application can be operated continuously across a plurality of discs. Therefore, the language attribute of the audio selected by the user or the subtitle can be selected by the application. If the language attribute is retained, even if the disc is replaced, there is no need to set the language attribute of the powerful voice or the language attribute of the subtitles again. Since it is possible to play the disc after replacement without setting these attributes again, there is an effect that it is possible to suitably play back a series product or a long movie work.
