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

This invention provides a method of creating caption-based search information for moving picture data of video titles recorded on a disk storage medium and performing search of moving picture data stream by using the caption-based video search information in a video disk reproduction apparatus like DVD player, and a reproduction apparatus using such method. The method according to this invention comprises the steps of creating and storing link information between caption data and moving picture stream which is reproduced concurrently with the caption data; displaying part of the caption data during playback; 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 resuming reproduction of the video disk at the located moving picture data. Therefore, this invention enables rapid and exact search and reproduction of moving picture data linked to a chosen caption data without repetition of manual search.
