Embodiment Construction

[0017] Various embodiments may address techniques to improve time seek operations. For example, various embodiments may address techniques for improving time seek operations for streaming audio / video signals used by digital home systems such as digital cable systems, digital satellite systems, video-on-demand (VOD) systems, and the like. Time seek operations may be implemented in response to trick mode or trick play operations, such as fast forward, fast rewind, time seek, jump to a certain scene of the movie, and the like. Rather than imposing constraints on the encoder for proper seek alignment and operation, various embodiments may implement temporal seek operations on the media server. In this way, temporal search operations do not depend on the encoded content, but on the server's implementation, making it a more attractive solution for past content and a wider array of sources that Arrays are not required to satisfy the coding guidelines set forth by various media proce...

Abstract

Techniques to improve time seek operations are described. An apparatus may include a digital media server having a media content seek module. The media content seek module may perform video sequence header alignment for media content in response to a time seek request. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus, system and method for improving temporal search operations comprising a digital media server having a media content search module. Background technique [0002] The use of digital media is gradually becoming more prevalent today. For example, in home networks, more and more devices are capable of handling digital content. As a result, the usage models available to home network users have become increasingly complex and these users have also demanded greater capabilities to share digital content within the home. However, ease of use is also imperative for users in a home network environment. [0003] A key feature of any usage model in a home networking environment is the ability to manipulate media content. In addition to normal playback operations such as play, pause, and stop, "trick mode" or "trick play" can be used to manipulate multimedia content. Trick Mode allows the user to manipulate digital c...
