Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a method of presenting A/V data and contents data recorded on an interactive recording medium and contents data provided by a contents providing server connected through the Internet. [0003] 1. Description of the Related Art [0004] High-density recording media such as optical disks capable of recording large amounts of data are being widely used. The DVD (digital versatile disc), which is an optical recording medium capable of recording large amounts of high-quality digital video and audio data, is one example of these high-density recording media. [0005] The DVD includes a data stream recording area in which digital A/V data streams are recorded and a navigation data recording area in which navigation data required for playback control of the A/V data is recorded. [0006] When a DVD is loaded into a DVD reproducing apparatus, the DVD reproducing apparatus first reads the navigation data recorded in the navigation data recording area and stores the navigation data in an internal memory. The DVD reproducing apparatus then begins reproduction of the A/V data recorded in the data stream recording area using the stored navigation data, thereby providing various functions of the DVD to a viewer. [0007] The development of new interactive DVDs is being progressing rapidly. Unlike the DVD, the interactive DVD (I-DVD) contains additional contents data, which is detailed information about A/V data recorded thereon, and provides the contents data through a user interface. The contents data may be recorded on the I-DVD as data files such as html files. [0008] In addition, a method for obtaining additional contents data from a contents providing server connected through the Internet and presenting the contents data while A/V data and contents data recorded on the I-DVD are reproduced is under development. However, an effective method for presenting the contents data appropriately according to the attributes is not yet available. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of presenting auxiliary contents data recorded on an interactive recording medium or contents data provided by an external contents providing server appropriately according to the attributes using attribute information recorded on the interactive recording medium or provided by the contents providing server. [0010] The method of reproducing an interactive recording medium in a reproducing apparatus in accordance with the present invention comprises the steps of (a) checking attribute information for auxiliary contents data of A/V data recorded on the interactive recording medium and (b) determining a presentation method for the auxiliary contents data based on the attribute information and presenting the auxiliary contents data accordingly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0011] The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, illustrate the preferred embodiments of the invention, and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present invention. [0012] In the drawings: [0013] FIG. 1 illustrates an interactive optical disk reproducing apparatus in which the present invention may be advantageously embodied; [0014] FIG. 2 illustrates the relationship among an A/V data stream, contents navigation information, and contents data files in accordance with the present invention; [0015] FIG. 3 illustrates a first embodiment of a method for recording attribute information for contents data files in accordance with the invention; [0016] FIG. 4 illustrates a second embodiment of a method for recording attribute information for contents data files in accordance with the invention; [0017] FIG. 5 illustrates a third embodiment of a method for recording attribute information for contents data files in accordance with the invention; and [0018] FIG. 6 illustrates a fourth embodiment of a method for recording attribute information for contents data files in accordance with the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0019] In order that the invention may be fully understood, preferred embodiments thereof will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. [0020] FIG. 1 illustrates an interactive optical disk reproducing apparatus in which the present invention may be advantageously embodied. The reproducing apparatus 100 comprises an optical pickup 11, an IDVD system 12, a microprocessor 13, a buffer memory 14, and an Internet interface 15 through which the apparatus 100 is connected to a contents providing server 300.
