Embodiment Construction

[0056] figure 1 Shown is the initial screen of a menu page on the display screen S, only the "audio language" button VB1 and the "subtitle language" button VB2 are enabled and visible. The other buttons BG are invisible and belong to the submenus of any of said visible buttons according to the definition of the data segment describing the menu contained in the bit stream on the storage medium. According to the invention, these buttons BG belong to a separate button group and are initially disabled and thus invisible. Moreover, the two visible buttons VB1, VB2 can also belong to a separate button group. This data segment may be referred to as an interactive composition segment (ICS). exist figure 1 In the initial screen shown, none of the visible buttons VB1 and VB2 is activated. Usually, initially there is a visible button that is selected by default. If, in the situation shown, the user presses eg the "Right" button on the remote, nothing will change because no button ha...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of generating an on-screen menu. Background technique [0002] Audio-visual content of a data storage medium such as a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) for video applications often contains menu data for various applications, eg, menu data that enables a user to select specific content of the media. The menu data is used to present the menu on the display screen. Often used are so-called multi-page menus, where each possible state of the menu is represented by a full-screen image overlaid on the video image in a separate layer. Menu layers are usually transparent except for the displayed menu items. [0003] In state-of-the-art menus, menu items are basically composed of many keys and non-key entities. Each key is assigned a screen position by the content creator and can be operated and activated by the user, for example via a remote control. Each button is associated with a state, which can be a "normal" (or called "u...
