Abstract

The present disclosure is directed towards a user interface that displays a number of windows where each window when activated presents descriptive information about a media asset. The descriptive information itself can either be a further media asset (video, audio, text, picture, computer program) or can be a descriptive information field (synopsis of the asset, director, actor, studio, television information, movie information, music information, music artists, artists, producers, director of photography, screenplay authors, executive producers, producers, genre, date of release). The arrangement of the windows can be changed so that the subsequent display of descriptive information is affected by such a change. Typically, the change would add or delete the presentation of a descriptive information field or the further asset as a descriptive information media asset.

Abstract

A method and a device for encapsulating a media entity containing more than one layer into multiple component files, each for one layer, are described along with the corresponding method and device for component file reading. A new box for ISO BMFF and extensions to the Extractor data structure of SVC / MVC file formats are proposed. The new box enables access of referenced component files in parallel with the processing of the current component file. The extractor extensions of the invention allow NAL units referencing across different component files. The present invention enables adaptive HTTP streaming of the media files.
