    Abstract: Asset data streams are provided that facilitate the display of large numbers of media assets. Encoded asset data streams provide approximated aspect ratio information for media assets to be used in determining a position for each media asset in a dataset, thus being able to position all of the media assets in a media asset arrangement prior to being scrolled into view by the user. By communicating aspect ratio approximations as part of an encoded asset data stream of data to a web application, a user is able to scroll to any part of a dataset (e.g., a photo library) when presented in the web application without having to wait on the receipt of information for all media assets. Encoded asset data streams may further include asset identification offsets that indicate a sequential ordering of the individual assets in a dataset.

    Abstract: To facilitate setting an image displayed at the time of audio distribution, a server according to one embodiment includes an information storage unit, a user information management unit that performs various processing concerning management of user information, and a content distribution control unit that controls content distribution. The user information management unit specifies, based on distributor-user related information, a recommended preset image from among a plurality of preset images provided in advance, and sets, as a display-image, one image selected from among one or more images including the recommended preset image. The content distribution control unit presents a distributor user screen on which the user can instruct switching between video or audio distribution. The unit further presents, to an audience user, an audience user screen that has a display region where video is displayed when the video is distributed and a display-image is shown when audio is distributed.

    Abstract: Optical storage media often contain data structures for a menu suitable for selection of a title, a chapter, a parameter or others. Such menus usually comprise a number of buttons to be displayed, with each button having a state. Possible states of buttons are; e.g., “unselected”, “selected” or “activated”. According to the invention, the menu may contain buttons that can be selected through the keys on the remote control, but that don't have any images or text associated. This allows creating “invisible buttons” that automatically execute commands upon selection. Further, a sound or sound sequence; e.g., melody or click, may be associated to a buttons state, and may be played back when the button enters this state. Such menu data may be stored; e.g., on a Blu-ray disc.

    Abstract: An interface is provided for permitting a user to explore a collection of data. The data collection, in embodiments, provides nodes as structural elements, and references which are assigned to nodes and hold identifiers of other nodes. Multiple references can be assigned to each node, thus guiding a user of the system to multiple other nodes, and multiple references can hold the same address, so that multiple nodes can have references pointing to the same node. The interface allows visualizing the network created by the interconnection of the nodes on a display region. The interface also allows the user to intuitively navigate along the references in both directions of the references, so that the user can explore which nodes are referenced by a certain node, and also by which nodes a certain node is referenced.
