Stereoscopic image reproduction method in case of pause mode and stereoscopic image reproduction apparatus using same

摘要

An apparatus, which forms a stereoscopic image by alternately displaying a left image and a right image, for reproducing a stereoscopic image in a pause mode, includes: a decoder unit configured to perform decoding on received image information; a 3D format generation unit configured to pair left and right images which are temporally consistent to generate stereoscopic image data; and a user input processing unit configured to receive a user selection with respect to image reproduction and delivering a corresponding signal to the decoder unit and the 3D format generation unit, wherein when the user input processing receives a to selection of a pause mode from the user, the decoder unit stops the decoding operation on the basis of the signal from the user input processing unit and the 3D format generation unit generates the stereoscopic image data by using the same left and right video frames. Even when a pause mode is selected while a stereoscopic image is being reproduced, the stereoscopic image can be outputted, and in this case, the stereoscopic image can be outputted in the pause mode without using any additional configuration.

1. An apparatus that forms a stereoscopic image by alternately displaying a left image and a right image, for reproducing a stereoscopic image in a pause mode, the apparatus comprising:
a decoder unit configured to perform decoding on received image information; a three-dimensional format generation unit configured to pair left and right images that are temporally consistent to generate stereoscopic image data; and a user input processing unit configured to receive a user selection with respect to image reproduction and to provide a corresponding signal to the decoder unit and the three-dimensional format generation unit, wherein when the user input processing unit receives a selection of a pause mode from the user, the decoder unit stops the decoding based on the signal from the user input processing unit and the three-dimensional format generation unit generates the stereoscopic image data by using the same left and right video frames, wherein the three-dimensional format generation unit to generate, in the pause mode, one of the stereoscopic image data and a two-dimensional image based on a user's selection received by the user input processing unit, wherein when the user input processing unit receives, from the user, a selection of changing the stereoscopic image being reproduced in the pause mode into the two-dimensional image, the three-dimensional format generation unit generates the two-dimensional image by interpolating the same left and right video frames based on a signal from the user input processing unit, and wherein the generated two-dimensional image by interpolating is repeatedly output in the pause mode.
