<title><![CDATA[Method and apparatus of recording/reproducing multi-channel stream]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7366396.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[The present invention relates to multi-channel stream recording/reproducing method and apparatus. The present multi-channel stream reproducing method checks whether or not reproduced multi-channel stream belongs to same broadcast (RF) channel, and deletes PSI (Program Specific Information) packets included in channel stream excluding one channel stream if it belongs to same RF channel, and makes new PSI packets with reference to PSI packets included in reproduced multi-channel stream to replace them, if not. Furthermore, the present method compensates appropriately PCRs (Program Clock References) included in channel stream excluding one channel stream in case of the latter. The present method enables a digital TV set to present multi-channel stream simultaneously in PIP (Picture-In-Picture) or multi-screen mode with no error in channel selection and presentation (or decoding) time.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Recording medium for storing virtually deleted still picture information, recording and/or reproducing method and apparatus therefor]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7366400.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A recording medium for storing virtual deletion information, and recording and/or reproducing method and apparatus therefor are provided. The recording medium includes a first region having a plurality of still pictures, and a second region having first virtual deletion information for the still pictures, and still picture group information for separating the still pictures in the first region into a predetermined maximum number of groups in order to manage the still pictures at a group level, wherein the first virtual deletion information is within the still picture group information, and if the first virtual deletion information is set to a virtual delete state, the corresponding still picture is not to be reproduced. Accordingly, file extent information can be prevented from excessively increasing by maximally preventing a recording area from being scattered, when some of a data file are deleted by a user's request.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Administration of storage space requirements on personal video recorders (“PVRs”), including recording a show having a storage space requirement, and incrementing the show's storage space requirement. Embodiments include tracking a recording period for the show and actual storage space used during the recording period; comparing the storage space used with an amount of storage space projected to be used during the tracked recording period; and incrementing the show's storage space requirement if the storage space used is greater than the storage space projected to be used. Embodiments include incrementing the show's storage space requirement in accordance with a predetermined overallocation rate. Embodiments include incrementing a show's storage space requirement in dependence upon genre.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[An information processing apparatus includes a file-time-code (FTC) sort unit and a logical block number (LBN) scheduling unit. The FTC unit sorts data items recorded on an optical disk based on the playback times of the pieces of data. The LBN scheduling unit sorts the data items recorded by the FTC sort unit based on the recording positions of the data items on the optical disk. The LBN scheduling unit also uses the sorting result as the result of scheduling the order of reading the data items from the optical disk.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A signal receiving unit receives a signal including video data. A video data memory sequentially stores the video data. A timing decision unit decides a timing to generate a video summary by referring to the signal, and provides a generation request of the video summary at the timing. A summary method indication unit indicates a generation method of the video summary. A video summary generation unit generates the video summary from the video data by using the generation method in response to the generation request. A video summary play unit plays the video summary.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In a data transmission system, a server is provided with a data storage unit which holds plural video streams having different I-frame intervals, as coded data corresponding to the same video sequence, and a data transmission unit for transmitting a predetermined video stream among the plural video streams, according to a command signal Sc from a receiving terminal. The receiving terminal transmits a data designation signal (command signal) Sc which designates one of the plural video streams stored at the server end, to the server, on the basis of the contents of user setting. Therefore, at the receiving terminal, a video stream to be supplied from the transmitting end (server) can be selected between one having a high resistance to transmission error and one having a high video quality, according to the user's preference.]]></description>

<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7366347.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[There is provided an edge detecting method, which is capable of preventing a noise influence caused by imaging device and a color interpolation. The edge detecting method includes the steps of: setting a first kernel based on a center pixel in pixel data arranged in a mosaic structure; setting a second kernel based on the center pixel within the first kernel; detecting whether a pixel having a green value in the second kernel is a defective pixel, and correcting the pixel; converting all pixels of the second kernel into pixels having green value; calculating a slope value by using a mask for detecting an edge in the second kernel; and detecting an edge by adding the slope value to a luminance value obtained by a color space conversion.]]></description>
