Abstract

A method of selecting a starting image at which to start displaying an image stream comprises the iterative steps of displaying a plurality of candidate images from within the image stream for selection by a user of the closest candidate image, and displaying a plurality of candidate images from within a time range of the image stream close to the candidate image selected by the user in response to the first step. This allows very fast and effective selection of a starting image. It can be used to quickly skip advertisement break within a recorded television program.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of selecting a starting picture to start displaying a video stream, a system for selecting a starting picture to start displaying a video stream, and to a computer program product or computer program suite for implementing this method in suitable hardware. Specifically but not exclusively, the present invention may be used in the following fields: such as Sky+ TM Box VCRs, as well as DVD players and computer-implemented video playback systems. Background technique [0002] People who typically use a personal video recorder to watch a TV show or movie can choose to start watching the show or movie at a specific starting point other than the start of recording. When playing a DVD of, for example, a series, such as "Friends," the viewer may select an episode to start watching the DVD. Recordings on a DVD are divided into data packets, each packet corresponding to a different episode. Viewers can only playback ...
