Method and apparatus for reproducing data from recording medium using local storage

Abstract

An apparatus for reproducing data recorded on a recording medium includes a pickup unit, a local storage, and a controller. The pickup unit reads a disc package from the recording medium, and the local storage stores a local storage package associated with the disc package. The controller generates control signals to display metadata information of the local storage package, and to generate a binding unit from the local storage package. The binding process is performed according to binding information which is modified by a user with reference to the displayed metadata information. The controller finally generates a virtual package by binding the binding unit with the disc package according to the modified binding information.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012] An object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for downloading data from an external part, storing the downloaded data in a plurality of local storages, and effectively reproducing data recorded in the local storages and data recorded in a recording medium such as a BD.

Problems solved by technology

In association with the above-mentioned situation, there has recently been developed an optical recording / reproducing device based on the BD international standard, but the BD international standard has not yet been completed, such that many limitations and problems occur in developing the optical recording / reproducing device.

However, an apparatus for reproducing data from the recording medium to simultaneously reproduce the external input signal and data of the BD has not yet been established, such that many limitations and problems occur in developing a BD-based optical recording / reproducing device.
