Embodiment Construction

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described below. It is important to note that all the embodiments described below can be combined in any manner, that is, there is no restriction that some of the embodiments may not be combined with other embodiments.

[0034] in figure 1 In step S100, a video signal and a data signal are received, and the data signal contains a content descriptor describing the current content of the video signal. The content descriptor may correspond to the title or program name of the currently received television program represented by the video signal, for example. Therefore, "content descriptor" can also be called "content name". The video signal may be an analog or digital television signal received from a broadcasting station, server, etc. (for example, IPTV).

[0035] In step S102, the segment of the video signal is determined according to the content descriptor, and the corresponding boundary of the segment is determined by the change...

Abstract

A method for selection of a user desired part of a video signal based on user input data is disclosed, comprising: receiving said video signal, receiving said a data signal, said data signal comprising a content descriptor which is descriptive of a current content of said video signal, determining segments of said video signal based on said content descriptor, wherein a respective boundary of a segment is defined by a change of content, determining said user desired part of said video signal by comparing the user input data and the segments.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for selecting a user-intended part of a video signal. Other embodiments of the present invention relate to recording devices, televisions, and related systems, respectively. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, there are digital recording devices called set-top boxes, etc., which realize the recording of TV programs. In order to record the desired program, the user can select the TV program together with the start and end time of the TV program. However, the selected television program may not start exactly at the start time and / or may not end exactly at the end time. Therefore, it is possible that some parts of the TV program selected by the user were missed during recording. It is also possible that the recording includes other TV programs that the user does not want to record. [0003] An object of the present invention is to avoid such problems. [0004] This objective is solved by the method, device and syst...
