Abstract

A method and device for real-time capturing streaming AV with respect to the perception of a user is disclosed. The method of the invention comprises the steps of: registering a segment of streaming AV being played; and capturing an instant frame from the registered segment with respect to a specified reaction time as the user perceives the frame and conducts a capturing operation, such that a correct image can be save disregarding the time lag between the time of the user perceiving an imagine to be saved and the real time of a capturing operation being conducted.

Claims

1. A method for real-time capturing streaming AV data with respect to the perception of a user, comprising the steps of:

registering a segment of streaming AV data being displayed in real time; and

capturing a frame from the registered segment with respect to a specified reaction time as the user perceives the frame and conducts a capturing operation.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a step of:

determining the length of the segment to be registered in accordance with the specified reaction time.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a step of:

determining the mount of frames included in the segment in accordance with the specified reaction time.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the mount of frames is between 1 frame to 30 frames.

5. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the registered segment is prior to the instant frame of the streaming AV data being displayed.

6. A device for real-time capturing streaming AV data with respect to the perception of a user, comprising:

a register, for registering a segment of streaming AV data being displayed and outputting the same.

7. The device as claimed in claim 6, further comprising:

a receiver, for receiving streaming AV data;

a decoder, for receiving and decoding the streaming AV data outputted from the receiver while outputting the decoded streaming AV data to a display; and

a controller, for capturing a segment of the decoded streaming AV data outputted from the decoder and directing the segment to the register for registering;

wherein the amount of frames included in the segment is determined with respect to a reaction time of the user while the reaction time is defined as a period of time counted between the time of the user perceiving an imagine to be saved and the real time of a capturing operation being conducted.

8. The device as claimed in claim 7, further comprising:

a memory, for storing a frame of the segment registered in the register, wherein the controller captures the frame from the register with respect to the perception of the user and stores the same to the memory.

9. The device as claimed in claim 7, further comprising:

a remote control, for enabling the user conduct the capturing operation remotely.
