Abstract: A method and apparatus for reproducing data from a recording medium using a local storage is disclosed. The method for reproducing data of a recording medium using a local storage includes the steps of: a) reading a binding unit associated with a specific recording medium from the local storage; b) performing a binding operation for combining the binding unit with a file structure contained in the recording medium, and forming a virtual package including a playlist file capable of allowing a plurality of clips to be reproduced by a single playitem; and c) reproducing data stored in the recording medium and/or data stored in the local storage using the formed virtual package. Therefore, the original data recorded in the recording medium and the additional data stored in the local storage can be effective reproduced, resulting in greater convenience of use.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reproducing data from a recording medium using a local storage is disclosed. A method and apparatus for downloading data associated with the recording medium from an external part, and reproducing the downloaded data is disclosed. A binding unit combined with the recording medium from among the downloaded data of the local storage is formed, and is combined with files of the recording medium using the binding information, such that the virtual package is formed. Data of the recording medium and/or data of the local storage are reproduced by the virtual package. If a specific file contained in the binding unit is equal to a specific file contained in the recording medium when the virtual package is formed, priority is assigned to the file of the binding unit so that the virtual package is formed. Therefore, data of the recording medium and data of the local storage can be effectively reproduced at the same time, resulting in greater convenience of a user.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reproducing data from a recording medium using a local storage is disclosed. If downloaded data is stored in the local storage and enters an updatable state, it is updated to a local storage file structure. A binding unit is formed in the updated local storage file structure, and the formed binding unit is combined with a recording medium file structure, such that a virtual package is formed. Therefore, recording medium data and/or downloaded local storage data are reproduced according to the formed virtual package.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recording medium containing moving picture data and additional information thereof and to reproducing method and apparatus of the recording medium. The present recording medium has script files including additional information about moving picture data, e.g., scene descriptive text and introduction of characters, etc. In addition, information linking each script file with a section of moving picture data to be presented with contents of the script file is included in a link data file or is contained in a filename of the script file. In reproduction of the recording medium, a script file linked with presently reproduced moving picture data section is determined and searched for based on the link data file or every filename of the script files, and contents of the found script file are presented together with the presently reproduced moving picture data. Furthermore, previously presented additional information is removed depending on data or filename of the found script file.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a porous metal electrode for a molten carbonate fuel cell using a dry process. According to the method of manufacturing a porous metal electrode of the present invention, in the press process for controlling the thickness of dry-cast metal powder and rearranging the dry-cast metal powder, the microstructure of the porous metal electrode can be controlled, and the uniformity of the thickness of the porous metal electrode can also be controlled. Therefore, the method of manufacturing a porous metal electrode according to the present invention can be used to manufacture both an anode and a cathode.

Abstract: A mobile communication terminal for removing noise in a transmitting signal and a method thereof are provided. The mobile communication terminal includes a first microphone for capturing a voice signal to be transmitted a second microphone attached to a position different from the first microphone to capture sound signals, an amplifier for amplifying the sound signals of the second microphone, a codec for separately converting the amplified sound signals of the second microphone and the voice signal of the first microphone to digital sound data, and a controller for analyzing the converted digital sound data and controlling a gain of the first microphone if a repeated pattern is detected in either of the separated digital sound data. Herein, noise generated in sound signals for transmission in a phone call is removed by using two microphones.

Abstract: A recording medium, a method for searching for content data from the recording medium, and a method and apparatus for reproducing data from the recording medium are disclosed. The recording medium includes a stream area for storing content data, and a reproduction management area for storing a search file capable of searching for the content data. The search file divides the content data into a plurality of scenes. If the content data supports a multi-angle, the search file classifies the scenes according to angles, and includes attribute for specifying the angles. Therefore, the recording medium can easily search for a variety of content data recorded in the recording medium, can provide the searched result, and can effectively reproduce/manage data of the recording medium, resulting in the creation of more convenient functions for a user.

Abstract: In the data structure, a data area of the recording medium stores a transport stream of at least video data. The transport stream is divided into transport packets.

Abstract: A buffer initially preloads a text subtitle stream recorded on a recording medium. The preloaded text subtitle stream includes a dialog style segment and a plurality of dialog presentation segments. The dialog style segment defines a group of region styles and palette information. Each dialog presentation segment contains at least one region of dialog text, where each region of dialog text is linked to a selected one of the group of region styles defined in the dialog style segment. A text subtitle decoder reads a palette update flag included in each dialog presentation segment and presents each dialog presentation segment according to an indication of the palette update flag. The palette update flag indicates whether to use the palette information defined in the dialog style segment or to use new palette information when presenting each dialog presentation segment.
