Abstract: A data structure, recording medium, playing device, playing method, program, and program storing medium, which enable providing of a video format for 3D display, suitable for 3D display of captions and menu buttons. Caption data used for 2D display of caption and menu data used for 2D display of menu buttons are recorded in a disc as is a database of offset information, in which is described offset information, made up of offset direction representing the direction of shifting of an image for the left eye and an image for the right eye used for 3D display as to images for 2D display regarding the caption data and menu data, and an offset value representing the amount of shifting, correlated with the playing point-in-time of caption data and menu data, respectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a data structure, a recording medium, a playing device and a playing method, and a program, which enable providing of a video format for 3D display, suitable for 3D display of subtitles and menu buttons. Subtitle data for the left eye and subtitle data for the right eye which are used for 3D display of subtitles is recorded in a disc 501 in increments of epochs. The structures of epochs of subtitle data for the left eye and subtitle data for the right eye to be played simultaneously are the same. That is to say, the number of display sets making up an epoch of subtitle data for the left eye, and the number of display sets making up an epoch of subtitle data for the right eye, that are to be played simultaneously, are the same. The present invention can be applied to a disc for 3D display.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reproducing apparatus, a reproducing method, a program, a program storage medium, a data delivery system, a data structure, and a manufacturing method of a recording medium for easily handling a content file recorded on a disk and an update file recorded on a local storage. Downloaded data can be handled with a file having a path name and a file name on the local storage being different from a file having a path name and a file name on a virtual file system based on a path name specified by an src_file_name field of and a path name specified by a dst_file_name field of a manifest ( ) section. The present invention is applicable to reproducing apparatuses.

Abstract: A data structure includes image data of menu buttons, which is used for two-dimensional (2D) display of the menu buttons; offset information composed of an offset direction that indicates a disparity between the image for the left-eye and the image for the right-eye used for three-dimensional (3D) display of the menu buttons in the unit of a picture with respect to the menu buttons in the unit of a picture that corresponds to the image data, and an offset value that indicates the amount of the disparity; and a command for changing the 3D display mode of the menu buttons to the 2D display mode.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a data processing section configured to generate data that is capable of being played back using general playback control information containing clip information defining the number of playback packets. The data processing section generates a data file in which data containing a number of playback packets, the number matching the defined number of playback packets, is contained as playback data associated with the clip information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an information processing device and information processing method, program storage medium, program, data structure, and manufacturing method for storage medium wherein a user can determine subtitles with certainty. That is, an attribute buffer 123 holds at least font style specifying information which specifies a font style to be applied for a character object for a subtitle held in a character object buffer 122, and width specifying information which can specify the width of the outline of the character object corresponding to the font style having an outline. In the case that the font style having an outline is specified in the font style specifying information, a font rasterizer 124 obtains font style data of the font style having an outline, updates the font style data based on the width specifying information, and converts the character object into subtitle data, using at least the updated font style data.

Abstract: A data structure includes content data and accompanying data which is formed on the basis of a plurality of first units, the accompanying data being used for displaying information accompanying the content data. Among the first units in which time information is defined, the time of a target first unit based on the order of the first units is set to be later than the decoding time defined in the first unit arranged in the order earlier than the target first unit by an amount equal to N first units where N indicates the upper limit of the number of first units that can be stored in a buffer provided for a decoder for decoding the first units.

Abstract: A playback apparatus includes the following elements. An input receives content data and accompanying data formed on the basis of a plurality of first units and used for displaying information accompanying the content data. A first storage section stores, among the plurality of first units forming the accompanying data received by the input section, a first unit in which decoding time information concerning a decoding time is defined. A time information storage section stores the decoding time information. A decoder extracts the first unit from the first storage section and decodes the first unit in accordance with the decoding time information stored in the time information storage section. A second storage section stores the first unit decoded by the decoder. The time information storage section at least has a capacity based on an upper limit of the number of first units stored in the first storage section.

Abstract: A reproducing apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus includes an input section; an operation input section; a first storage section; and a control section.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reproducing apparatus, a reproducing method, a program, a program storage medium, a data delivery system, a data structure, and a manufacturing method of a recording medium for easily handling a content file recorded on a disk and an update file recorded on a local storage. Downloaded data can be handled with a file having a path name and a file name on the local storage being different from a file having a path name and a file name on a virtual file system based on a path name specified by an src_file_name field of and a path name specified by a dst_file_name field of a manifest ( ) section. The present invention is applicable to reproducing apparatuses.

Abstract: A reproducing device which reproduces contents data recorded on a disc-shaped recording medium is disclosed. The reproducing device includes: an input unit which inputs data including at least the contents data, button images capable of displaying animations of buttons used in an operation screen that prompts a user to perform an operation, and display control information for the button images, the contents data, the button images and the display control information are reproduced from the recording medium; an operation input unit which receives the user operation; and a display controller which controls a display of the animations of the button images on the basis of the display control information.

Abstract: A speech band signal is obtained by receiving a wireless frequency signal, a reception field intensity of the wireless frequency is detected on the basis of the resulting speech band signal, the frequency characteristics of the speech band signal so received are changed in accordance with the detection value of the detected reception field intensity, and a speech band signal having the frequency characteristics so changed is outputted.
