Abstract
Abstract Data decoding suitable for a compressed moving picture, audio information, and so forth recorded on a disc or the like. A pack header and a packet header are separated from information reproduced with the video signal; and a time code is extracted from the header of a GOP (Group of Pictures). Successive time codes are added to those pictures (B pictures and P pictures) of the GOP to which time codes have not been assigned.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
Data decoding apparatus for decoding a data bit stream which includes picture data bits representing pictures and into which time codes have been intermittently inserted and assigned to predetermined pictures, comprising: an extractor for extracting said inserted time codes from said data bit stream; an interpolator responsive to said extracted time codes for interpolating successive time codes for those pictures in said data bit stream to which time codes have not been assigned; an input device for inputting a time code to said interpolator; a detector for detecting a time difference between said inputted time code and said successive time codes; and means for displaying said successive time codes and said time difference.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
Data decoding apparatus for decoding a data bit stream which includes picture data bits representing pictures and into which time codes have been intermittently inserted and assigned to predetermined pictures, comprising: an extractor for extracting said inserted time codes from said data bit stream; an interpolator responsive to said extracted time codes for interpolating successive time codes for those pictures in said data bit stream to which time codes have not been assigned; an input device for inputting a time code to said interpolator; a detector for detecting a time difference between said inputted time code and said successive time codes; and means for displaying said successive time codes and said time difference.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said data bit stream is read from a movable record medium; and further comprising a reproduction controller responsive to said time difference for controlling a search direction and a search speed of said record medium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
115 words
The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said data bit stream is received from a digital recording medium on which are recorded a sector area for storing data and table of content data (TOC) for enabling efficient access by sector address to data stored on said digital recording medium, said TOC data contains sector addresses of said predetermined pictures as well as said time codes corresponding to said sector addresses; and wherein said apparatus further comprises means for inputting a time code, detecting means for detecting the sector address corresponding to a time code closest in value to said inputted time code, and searching means for searching said digital recording medium for said corresponding sector address.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The apparatus of claim 3, wherein said digital recording medium is a magneto-optic disc.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The apparatus of claim 3, wherein said digital recording medium is a magnetic disc.
