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 plurality of local storages, and a controller. The pickup unit reads a disc package from the recording medium. The local storages store multiple binding units associated with the disc package, and the controller generates a virtual package by binding the multiple binding units and the disc package according to binding priorities of files included in the multiple binding units. When the multiple binding units include two or more identical files to be bound, a file having a highest binding priority is selected in the virtual package.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enables the effective reproduction of data from both the recording medium and local storage, enhancing user convenience by managing and reproducing original and additional data according to user requests, and establishing a systemized method for interacting with peripheral digital devices.

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.
