Abstract

The apparatus and method for injecting synchronized stream data calculate the injection time point of data access unit (dau) that forms the synchronized stream data and injects dau into the MPEG-2 video/audio transport stream based on the calculated injection time point so that the synchronized stream data could be presented smoothly in a receiver. The synchronized stream data injecting apparatus includes: an additional data storing unit, a synchronized stream data selection/establishment unit, a synchronized stream data analyzing unit, a transport stream analyzing unit, a synchronized stream data injection/management unit, a presentation time stamp re-stamping unit and a multiplexing unit.

Description

When a new presentation time stamp is stamped for the synchronized stream data in the synchronized stream data selection/establishment unit 410, the presentation time stamp re-stamping unit 460 re-stamps the presentation time stamp of the synchronized stream data into the new presentation time stamp.

The multiplexing unit 470 injects DAU of the synchronized stream data, which are outputted from the presentation time stamp re-stamping unit 460, into the video/audio transport stream outputted from the transport stream analyzing unit 450.

Referring to FIG. 3, the operation of the synchronized stream data injecting block 400 having the above-described structure will be described hereinafter.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart describing a synchronized stream data injecting process of the synchronized stream data injecting block 400 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in the drawing, at step S310, the synchronized stream data selection/establishment unit 410 of the synchronized stream data injecting block 400 selects synchronized stream data that are synchronized with the video/audio transport stream inputted from the outside among the additional data stored in the additional data storing unit 440.

Also, it establishes the values of parameters, such as an injection period, which is time interval for injecting synchronized stream data into a video/audio transport stream, a new presentation time stamp of a first DAU of the above-selected synchronized stream data, and the number of analyzed DAU, which means the maximum number of DAU of synchronized stream data that can be injected in one injection period. Here, if the number of analyzed DAU is not established, it is calculated by multiplying the largest value (59.94 or 60) of the number of frequency of DAU generation to the established injection period. If both injection period and the number of analyzed DAU are not established, the injection period is set to be 50 msec and the number of analyzed DAU is determined to be 3.

Subsequently, at step S320, the synchronized stream data analyzing unit 430 analyzes the synchronized stream data selected in the additional data selection/establishment unit 410 based on the injection period and the number of analyzed DAU, which are established in the additional data selection/establishment unit 410, periodically to obtain as many DAU as the number of analyzed DAU, and generates information related to synchronized stream data, such as presentation time stamp of a corresponding DAU, the number transport stream packets.

Subsequently, at step S330, the transport stream analyzing unit 450 periodically analyzes the video/audio transport stream inputted from the outside in real-time based on the injection period established in the additional data selection/establishment unit 410, and generates information needed to inject the synchronized stream data, such as PCR of the video/audio transport stream within the analysis section.

Subsequently, at step S340, it is determined whether it is a section for injecting DAUs of a synchronized stream data. The synchronized stream data injection/management unit 420 calculates a presentation time offset by using the difference between a new presentation time stamp of a first DAU of the synchronized stream data established in the additional data selection/establishment unit 410 and the presentation time stamp of a first DAU of the synchronized stream data obtained in the synchronized stream data analyzing unit 430.

Then, the synchronized stream data injection/management unit 420 calculates a new presentation time stamp of DAU of the synchronized stream data obtained in the synchronized stream data analyzing unit 430. It determines whether to inject DAU of the synchronized stream data into the video/audio transport stream within the analysis section by comparing the new presentation time stamp calculated above with PCR obtained from the analysis of the video/audio transport stream. If the DAU of the synchronized stream data is determined for injection, synchronized stream data injection/management unit 420 controls the additional data storing unit 440 to output corresponding DAU.

Subsequently, at step S350, if a new presentation time stamp is established with respect to a first DAU of synchronized stream data in the synchronized stream data selection/establishment unit 410, the presentation time stamp re-stamping unit 460 re-stamps the presentation time stamp of DAU that forms synchronized stream data outputted from the additional data storing unit 440 based on the control of the synchronized stream data injection/management unit 420, by referring to the presentation time stamp newly stamped in the synchronized stream data selection/establishment unit 410. If the DAU of the synchronized stream data is not injected, process goes back to the step S320.

Here, to re-stamp the presentation time stamp of all DAU that form synchronized stream data, a presentation time offset value is calculated by using the difference between the presentation time stamp of the first DAU of the synchronized stream data and the new presentation time stamp stamped in the synchronized stream data selection/establishment unit 410. Here, the summation of the presentation time stamp of the first DAU of the synchronized stream data and the calculated presentation time offset value should be equal to the new presentation time stamp.

The presentation time stamp of all DAU that forms the synchronized stream data is re-stamped by adding the presentation time offset value to the presentation time stamp of all DAU of the synchronized stream data.

Subsequently, at step S360, the multiplexing unit 470 injects the DAU of the synchronized stream data outputted from the presentation time stamp re-stamping unit 460 into the video/audio transport stream outputted from the transport stream analyzing unit 450 and outputs one transport stream.

At step 370, it is determined whether all of DAUs are injected or not. If all of DAUs are not injected, i.e., is there any DAU to be injected, process continues to the step S320.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart further describing a process (S350) for re-stamping the presentation time stamp of additional data in the synchronized stream data injecting process in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

First, to re-stamp the presentation time stamp of DAU that forms synchronized stream data, at step S351, it is checked if a new presentation time stamp of a first DAU of synchronized stream data is stamped through the synchronized stream data selection/establishment unit 410.

If a new presentation time stamp of the first DAU of the synchronized stream data is not stamped, the presentation time stamp re-stamping process is terminated, and if a new presentation time stamp is stamped, at step S352, the presentation time offset value is calculated. The presentation time offset value of the synchronized stream data can be obtained by subtracting the actual presentation time stamp the first DAU of the synchronized stream data from the newly stamped presentation time stamp of the first DAU of the synchronized stream data, as shown in below Equation 2.

$\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{presentation}\mathrm{time}\mathrm{offset}\left({\mathrm{PTS}}_{\mathrm{off}}\right)=\mathrm{new}\mathrm{presentation}\mathrm{time}\mathrm{stamp}-\mathrm{presentation}\mathrm{time}\mathrm{stamp}\mathrm{of}a\mathrm{first}\mathrm{DAU}& \mathrm{Eq}.2\end{array}$

When the presentation time offset of the synchronized stream data is calculated, at step S353, the re-stamped presentation time stamp of each DAU that forms the synchronized stream data is calculated and re-stamped. The re-stamped presentation time stamp of DAU that forms synchronized stream data can be calculated by adding the presentation time offset to the presentation time stamp of all DAU that form the synchronized stream data, as shown in Equation 3.
Re-stamped presentation time stamp of DAU=Presentation time stamp of a DAU+PTS_off   Eq. 3

The method as recited in claim 43, wherein the step of analyzing the transport stream further comprises a step of obtaining the pcr by establishing a value of the reference clock with the same value as the obtained pcr and obtaining the value of the reference clock at a moment when the pcr value is needed.

58. The method as recited in claim 43, wherein if a new presentation time stamp for a first dau is stamped in the synchronized stream data selection/establishment unit, the step of re-stamping comprises a step of:

receiving the outputted synchronized stream data;

re-stamping the presentation time stamp of a dau by referring to the newly stamped presentation time stamp; and

outputting the re-stamped presentation time stamp of the dau.

59. The method as recited in claim 58, wherein the step of re-stamping further comprises of a step of:

calculating a presentation time offset value by using the difference between the presentation time stamp of the first dau of the synchronized stream data and the new presentation time stamp stamped; and

re-stamping the presentation time stamp of all daus by adding the presentation time offset value to the presentation time stamp of all daus.

60. The method as recited in claim 43, wherein the step of multiplexing comprises a step of injecting daus of the outputted synchronized stream data into the places of null packets in the transport stream within a section analyzed, instead of the null packets.

61. The method as recited in claim 43, wherein if a number of daus of the synchronized stream data multiplexed in the transport stream analyzed is more than two, the step of multiplexing further comprises a step of injecting the daus into the transport stream in the order of quick presentation time stamp, and the locations for dau to be injected into are moved from a part where pcr of the analyzed transport stream is small to a part where pcr of the analyzed transport stream is large.
