SENSORY EFFECT EXPRESSION METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM WHEREON SENSORY EFFECT METADATA ARE RECORDED

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for expressing sensory effects and an apparatus therefor, and a computer-readable recording medium whereon computer-readable sensory effect metadata are recorded. The method of the present invention for generating sensory media comprises a step wherein sensory effect information on sensory effects that are applied to a medium is received as input, and a step wherein sensory effect metadata are generated, including sensory effect information; the sensory effect metadata include sensory effect description information that describes sensory effects, and the sensory effect description information includes media location information that indicates the location within the media where sensory effects are applied. According to the present invention, sensory effects are implemented when media are provided. so that the playback effects of the media can be maximized.
