Print objects () are captured. In the process of capturing each of the print objects () a user input gesture () over a region of a document () being rendered on a display () in accordance with a structured object specification () of the document () is received; an element of the structured object specification () being rendered within an active area of the user input gesture () on the display () is identified; the user input gesture () is interpreted as a print content designation command; and the print object () is derived from the structured object specification () in accordance with the identified element of the structured object specification () and the print content designation command. A print layout () of the print objects () on one or more pages () is determined. The print layout () is outputted.

The present invention provides a picture coding apparatus which can reduce a load in decoding. When a RAU to be coded is an open GOP type RAU, the present invention includes: a motion estimation unit, a motion compensation unit, and the like which codes a picture to be coded to generate a BI-picture; a BI information generation unit which generates a RAU map indicating whether or not the BI-picture is positioned in a display order immediately before a starting I-picture in the RAU of the stream; and a variable length coding unit which writes the RAU map into the RAU of the stream.

Method for generating and decoding a coded picture signal, an apparatus for generating and decoding a coded picture signal, a program for generating and decoding a coding picture signal, and an integrated circuit for generating and decoding a coded picture signal

A method for extracting web content includes detecting, within a web page, a hierarchical structure that includes a plurality of nodes. Potential article nodes from the plurality of nodes are identified. The identified potential article node with a highest rank in the hierarchical structure is identified as an article node. Content is extracted from the article node.

Selective content extraction

A system for web-based video browsing includes a web server and a web client. The web server and the web client cooperatively provide a set of video browsing functions. The video browsing functions enable a user of the web client to browse a source video and select a video frame from the source video. The distribution of the video browsing functions between the web server and the web client may be adapted to a communication speed between the web server and the web client.

A picture coding apparatus reduces a load in decoding. The picture coding apparatus codes each picture according to a picture type of the picture. The picture types include at least an I picture, a P picture, a B picture, and a skipped picture. A first coder is configured to code first supplementary information, including coded pictures and indicating respective picture types of the coded pictures, in a decoding order of the coded pictures. A second coder is configured to code second supplementary information, indicating respective pieces of picture structure information of the coded pictures, in the decoding order. A writer is configured to write, at a position prior to a starting picture, the first supplementary information coded by said first coder and the second supplementary information coded by said second coder.

The present invention provides an information storage medium in which a stream including basic data and extension data for next generation is stored, so as to allow a decoder capable of decoding only basic data to process such a stream including basic data and extension data. Such information storage medium is an information storage medium on which an audio stream including a plurality of TS packets is stored, wherein each of the TS packets includes one of (a) a first packet including basic data, and (b) a second packet including extension data related to the basic data, the basic data is data capable of being decoded into complete sound without requiring the extension data, and the extension data is data intended for improving the quality of audio generated from the basic data, and a header of each of the TS packets includes an identifier indicating whether the TS packet includes the first packet or the second packet.

In a method for decomposing a block of a video sequence frame, it is determined as to whether either or both of the dimensions of the block equals a predetermined minimum dimension. In response to either or both of the dimensions equaling the predetermined minimum dimension, a motion vector for the block is sent. In response to both of the dimensions exceeding the predetermined minimum dimension, a motion vector for the block is determined, the block is partitioned into two wedges, the block is divided into four N/2&#xd7;N/2 sub-blocks, and these steps are repeated on each of the four N/2&#xd7;N/2 sub-blocks until either or both of the dimensions equal the predetermined minimum dimension.
