Abstract

A method for providing enhanced content for play across multiple play platforms employs steps of delivering media content to a client device; delivering HTML content to a client device, the HTML content being accessible and usable by a plurality of client device platforms; activating a browser to access the HTML content, the browser being located on and compatible for use with the client device; activating firmware on the client device to access the media content; and incorporating the accessed HTML content with the accessed media content.

Claims

1. An information storage medium comprising:

3. The information storage medium of claim 1, wherein the AV data comprises a video title set, a video object constituting the video title set, and the video object units constituting the video object and including the audio pack, the video pack, and the navigation pack, and the event occurrence information is for requesting that a trigger event occurs when one of the video object units corresponding to the navigation pack of the video title set is reproduced.

4. The information storage medium of claim 3, wherein the event occurrence information requests that designated contents are output on a screen when one of the video object units corresponding to the navigation pack of the video title set is reproduced.

5. The information storage medium of claim 4, further comprising markup document data including the event occurrence information to output a markup screen, wherein the designated contents are displayed on a predetermined portion of the markup screen on which a markup document is reproduced.

6. The information storage medium of claim 4, wherein the event occurrence information comprises:

a trigger event identifier;

a video title set identifier of a designated video title set; and

a navigation pack identifier of a designated navigation pack.

7. The information storage medium of claim 6, wherein the trigger event identifier comprises:

an application program interface for setting the trigger event and canceling the trigger event.

8. The information storage medium of claim 7, wherein the application program interface comprises:

parameters including the trigger event identifier, the video title set identifier of the designated video title set, and the navigation identifier of the designated navigation pack.

9. The information storage medium of claim 6, wherein the video title set identifier comprises a video title set number, and the navigation pack identifier comprises:

a navigation pack number.

10. The information storage medium of claim 6, wherein the video title set identifier comprises a video object number of the video title set to which a currently reproduced title belongs, and the navigation pack identifier is determined by a point in time at which reproduction of one of the video object units starts.

11. The information storage medium of claim 6, wherein the video title set identifier comprises a program chain number, and the navigation identifier comprises:

one of a time and a place of reproduction of a program chain displayed on the screen using a cell elapse time.

12. The information storage medium of claim 6, wherein the video title set identifier comprises a title number, and the navigation pack identifier comprises:

one of a time and a place of reproduction of the video title set.

13. A method of playing an information storage medium comprising AV data, which includes a video title set containing at least one video object containing video object units each having an audio pack, a video pack, and a navigation pack, and event occurrence information for generating a predetermined event, the method comprising:

interpreting the event occurrence information; and

generating the event if a data structure matched with a result of the interpretation of the event occurrence information is discovered while the AV data is being decoded.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the an information storage medium comprises a markup document containing the event occurrence information, and the interpreting of the event occurrence information comprises:

reading event occurrence information from the markup document in which a display window for displaying an AV screen on which the video object is reproduced is defined; and

detecting place in which the event matched with the interpretation result occurs.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the video object that is constituted of cells each having the audio pack, the video pack, and the navigation pack, and the generating of the event comprises:

reproducing a portion of the AV data corresponding to the place in which the event occurs.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the generating of the event comprises:

outputting designated contents on a screen at a point in time or several milliseconds after the reproduction of the portion of the video object unit corresponding to the navigation pack of the video title set.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein the event occurrence information comprises:

a trigger event identifier;

a designated video title set identifier; and

a designated navigation pack identifier.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the trigger event identifier comprises:

a first identifier for setting a trigger event; and

a second identifier for canceling the trigger event.

19. The method of claim 13, wherein the event occurrence information is implemented as an application program interface.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the application program interface comprises:

parameters including the trigger event identifier, the video title set identifier of a designated video title set, and the navigation pack identifier of a designated navigation pack.

21. An apparatus for playing an information storage medium comprising AV data, which includes a video title set containing at least one video object that is constituted of video object units each having an audio pack, a video pack, and a navigation pack, and event occurrence information for generating a predetermined event, the apparatus comprising:

a reader reading the AV data or the event occurrence information;

a presentation engine interpreting the read event occurrence information, outputting the interpretation result, and generating the event; and

a decoder requesting the presentation engine to generate an appropriate event if a data structure of the AV data matched with the interpretation result received from the presentation engine is discovered during decoding the AV data.

22. The apparatus claim 21, wherein the information storage medium comprises markup document data containing the event occurrence information, and the presentation engine interprets the event occurrence information read from the markup document defining a display window for displaying an AV screen on which the AV data is reproduced.

23. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the presentation engine generates the event when the AV data corresponding to the navigation pack of a designated video title set is reproduced.

24. The apparatus of claim 23, wherein the presentation engine provides a screen in accordance with the markup document data and outputs designated contents on the screen at a point in time when or several tens of milliseconds after a video object unit corresponding to the navigation pack of the designated video title set starts being reproduced.

25. The apparatus of claim 24, wherein the event occurrence information is implemented as an application program interface.

26. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the application program interface comprises:

parameters including a trigger event identifier, a video title set identifier of the designated video title set, and a navigation pack identifier of the designated navigation pack.

27. The apparatus of claim 26, wherein the trigger event identifier comprises:

reading the markup document data;

interpreting the event occurrence information;

generating a screen provided by the markup document data; and

displaying a content of the AV data on a portion of the screen according to an event of event occurrence information when the data structure of the AV data is matched with the event occurrence information.

31. The method of claim 30, wherein the markup document data comprises parameters including a trigger event identifier, a video title set identifier of a designated video title set, and a navigation pack identifier of a designated navigation pack, and generating of the content comprises:
