Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 71 words
An information storage medium capable of recording and playing back at least still picture information (RTR_STO.VRT), characterized in that one still picture information constructs a first information unit (VOB or VOBU), a first group unit (S_VOGI) having a plurality of pieces of still picture information is constructed by a set of first information units, and one or more pieces of still picture information are recorded in the first group unit (S_VOGI).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 91 words
A medium according to claim 1, characterized in that said medium comprises a first recording area for recording still image information (RTR_STO.VRO) itself, and a second recording area for recording first management information (RTR_VMG) that pertains to still picture information, still picture information is recorded on the first recording area in the first group unit (S_VOGI), and a plurality of pieces of still picture data having second management information (VOBU map or VOB map; or S_VOB_ENT) that pertains to each still picture information associated with the first information unit are recorded.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 89 words
A medium according to claim 1, characterized in that said medium comprises a first recording area for recording still picture information (RTR_STO.VRO), and a second recording area for recording management information (RTR_VMG) containing first control information (S_AVFI) that pertains to a recording state of the still picture information (RTR_STO.VRO), and second control information (S_CI) that pertains to a playback method of the still picture information, and minimum unit information (S_C_EPI/S_VOB_ENTN) for playing back the still picture information is recorded in a recording field of the second control information (S_CI).
Claim 4
