Embodiment Construction

[0025] The present invention provides a system and method for providing enhanced features of VOD media streams. The system includes a media server and a client player, wherein a user can select a desired video to be sent from the media server to the client player, and then displayed for the user on the client player. The system includes a mechanism that enables a user to interactively select a desired new starting point for displaying a selected video signal. This mechanism is provided by the first series and the second series of searchable index frames, wherein the media server generates the first series of searchable index frames during the transmission of the selected video signal, and the client player generates the first series of searchable index frames during the process of receiving the selected video signal. Generates a second series of searchable index frames in . When the client player receives the desired new start, it accesses the first or second series of index ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method for providing enhanced features of VOD media streams. The system includes a media server and a client player, wherein a user can select a desired video to be transmitted from the media server to the client player, and then displayed to the user through the client player. The system includes a mechanism that enables the user to interactively select a new starting point for displaying a selected video signal. This mechanism is provided by the first series and the second series of searchable index frames; where the media server generates the first series of searchable index frames during the transmission of the selected video signal, and the client player generates the first series of searchable index frames during the process of receiving the selected video signal Generates a second series of searchable index frames in . When the client player receives the desired new start, it accesses the first or second series of index frames to identify the desired searchable index frame that best represents the desired new start. The client player then starts displaying the video from the requested seekable index frame.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to systems for providing VOD media streams to end users. More particularly, the present invention relates to providing enhanced features to video-on-demand viewers over Internet Protocol (IP)-based networks. Background technique [0002] Consumer entertainment services, including video on demand (VOD), and personal video recorder (PVR) services, can be delivered using traditional communication system architectures. In traditional digital cable television systems, a channel is dedicated to the user for the duration of the video. VOD services, which attempt to emulate Digital Versatile / Video Disc (Video Disc) displays, are delivered through central video servers, which are large supercomputer-type processors. These processors are typically located in metropolitan service delivery centers supported by a cable television operator's (MSO) metropolitan area network. The consumer selects a video from a menu, and the ...
