Method for creating caption-based search information of moving picture data, searching moving picture data based on such information, and reproduction apparatus using said method

摘要

A method of creating caption-based search information for moving picture data of video titles recorded on a disk storage medium and performing a search of a moving picture data stream by using the caption-based video search information in a video disk reproduction apparatus like a DVD player, and a reproduction apparatus using such method are provided. The method includes the steps of a) creating and storing link information between caption data and a moving picture stream which is reproduced concurrently with the caption data; b) displaying part of the caption data during playback; c) obtaining the location of moving picture data, which is linked to a particular caption data specified by a viewer, based on the created link information; and d) resuming reproduction of the video disk at the located moving picture data. Therefore, this enables rapid and exact search and reproduction of moving picture data linked to a chosen caption data without repetition of a manual search.
