AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide efficient access to information that identifies a location during video playback or presentation. It also provides an appropriately labeled key on a remote control device for easy access.

Problems solved by technology

While DVDs and Blu-rays provide many capabilities and functions exceeding those provided by, for example, conventional linear playback formats, optical disc playback devices do not provide, during the playing of a motion picture, information (e.g., a locale depicted within the video) that is readily accessible by a user.
The rare inclusion in the video itself of information (e.g., the identification of a locale) fails to provide systematized information (e.g., an identification of the many locales depicted within the video) and access to related locale information.
