Abstract

An apparatus and method for displaying multimedia data combined with text data and a recording medium on which the same method is recorded. In the apparatus for displaying multimedia data combined with text data and described according to a MusicPhotoVideo (MPV) format, it is checked whether an asset selected by a user is comprised of single audio data and one or more text data. Information needed for displaying the audio data and the text data is extracted, the audio data is extracted for playback using the extracted information, and the one or more text data are extracted from the extracted information and sequentially displayed using a predetermined displaying method during playback of the audio data.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the asset comprises information on a position at which the text data is displayed and a time when the text data is displayed.

6. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the displaying method comprises displaying each text data based on display time information needed for designating the time when the text data is displayed while playing back the video data.

7. An apparatus for displaying multimedia data combined with text data and described according to a MusicPhotoVideo (MPV) format, the apparatus comprising:

a memory under control of a processor, the memory comprising software enabling the apparatus to;

check whether an asset selected by a user is comprised of single image data and one or more text data,

extract information needed for displaying the image data and the text data,

extract the image data for display using the extracted information, and

extract the one or more text data from the extracted information and sequentially display the extracted one or more text data using a predetermined displaying method during the display of the image data.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the asset comprises information on a position at which the text data is displayed and a time when the text data is displayed.

9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the displaying method comprises displaying each text data based on display time information needed for designating the time when the text data is displayed while playing back the image data.

10. A method for displaying multimedia data combined with text data and described according to a MusicPhotoVideo (MPV) format, the method comprising:

checking whether an asset selected by a user is comprised of single audio data and one or more text data;

extracting information needed for displaying the audio data and the text data;

extracting the audio data for playback using the extracted information; and

extracting the one or more text data from the extracted information and

sequentially displaying the text data using a predetermined displaying method during playback of the audio data.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the asset comprises information on a position at which the text data is displayed and a time when the text data is displayed.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the displaying method comprises displaying each text data based on display time information needed for designating the time when the text data is displayed while playing back the audio data.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the display time information includes information on a time point when displaying the text data starts, and a display duration in which the text data is played back.

14. A method for displaying multimedia data combined with text data and described according to a MusicPhotoVideo (MPV) format, the method comprising:
