  • Publication number: 20120263884
    Abstract: A coating agent (60) comprising an ultraviolet ray hardening resin composite (62) to be applied on a water pressure transfer film (20) contains no organic solvent, but contains at least photo-polymerization pre-polymer, photo-polymerization monomer and photo-polymerization initiator and having a viscosity of 10 to 100 CPS (25° C.) and an ink solubility of 10 or more at an SP value. This can positively and effectively perform the operation of recovering the adhesion of the dried print pattern of the water pressure transfer film and also imparting the ultraviolet ray hardenability to the print pattern.

  • Patent number: 8290338
    Abstract: A main-view and sub-view video stream pair, a graphics stream, and playlist information are recorded on a BD-ROM disc. In the sub-view video stream, metadata is provided in each GOP. The metadata includes a correspondence table associating offset identifiers and offset information. The offset information defines offset control for each picture in a GOP. Offset control is processing to provide a left offset and right offset for the horizontal coordinates in a graphics plane to generate a pair of graphics planes that are respectively combined with main-view and sub-view video planes. The playlist information includes a stream selection table for each playback section. When the stream selection table associates a stream number with a packet identifier of a graphics stream, one of the offset identifiers is allocated to the stream number.

  • Patent number: 8270817
    Abstract: A recording apparatus is for a DVD on which a TS-VOB, and pieces of playback path information each showing a playback path of the TS-VOB are recorded. When extended control with various contents can be executed by an apparatus at the time of playback, an extended attribute section in which extended control is valid is specified in accordance with the contents of the extended control. When an extended attribute section is to be uniformly specified for playback paths of the TS-VOB, a section marker for specifying a location of the extended attribute section of the TS-VOB is generated in VOB information. When an extended attribute section is to be individually specified for one playback path, a section marker specifying a location of the extended attribute section of the playback path is generated in PGC information. The generated VOB information and PGC information are written to the DVD.

  • Publication number: 20120213491
    Abstract: The recording medium 100 stores playlist information and a plurality of elementary streams. The playlist information includes a basic stream selection table and an extension stream selection table. The basic stream selection table shows elementary streams that are permitted to be played back in a monoscopic playback mode. The extension stream selection table shows elementary streams that are permitted to be played back only in a stereoscopic playback mode. The stream entry in the extension stream selection table indicates a packet identifier that is to be used by the playback device to perform demultiplexing when the playback device is in the stereoscopic playback mode and the corresponding stream number is set in the stream number register provided in the playback device.

  • Patent number: 8249415
    Abstract: The present invention provides an information recording medium in which an access unit including basic data and extension data is recorded, so as to allow a decoder that decodes only basic data to process the access unit which includes the basic data and the extension data for the next generation. The information recording medium is an information recording medium on which a stream is recorded, the stream having plural access units and including at least one of video and audio, wherein each of the access units has a first packet which includes basic data and a second packet which includes extension data related to the basic data; the basic data is data that can be decoded into a completed state without requiring the extension data, and the extension data is data for improving the quality of data generated from the basic data; and a size of the first packet is less than or equal to a predetermined size.

  • Patent number: 8208795
    Abstract: An Interactive Graphics Decoder 13 decodes a graphics stream, and overlays a Page including a plurality of Buttons on a moving picture. The Interactive Graphics Decoder 13 then executes a command corresponding to one of the plurality of Buttons on the Page, to thereby perform (1) a control of switching the Page to another Page and (2) a control of specifying a Button to be set in a selected state on the other Page. A judgment is made as to whether a button number of the specified Button is invalid. If the button number is invalid, an alternative value is written in a status register.

  • Publication number: 20120106929
    Abstract: Playback device for playing back graphics stream according to stream selection table recorded on recording medium. Stream number register stores, as current stream number, one of a plurality of stream numbers written in the stream selection table. Capability register indicates capability to play back graphics. Procedure means determines playback type of graphics corresponding to the current stream number, based on the playback capability indicated by the capability register. Playback of graphics streams falls into two types: first playback type in which a monoscopic graphics stream is used; and second playback type in which a pair of left-eye graphics stream and right-eye graphics stream is used to perform a stereoscopic playback. The capability register indicates whether capability to perform the stereoscopic playback using the pair of left-eye and right-eye graphics streams is present in graphics decoder.
