Storage medium storing multimedia data for providing moving image reproduction function and programming function, and apparatus and method for reproducing moving image

摘要

A storage medium storing multimedia data for providing a moving image reproduction function and a programming function, and an apparatus and method for reproducing a moving image from the storage medium the apparatus including a storage unit which stores the program data downloaded from the storage medium or from a network and download management information indicating whether the downloaded program data can be executed independently without the storage medium; a reading unit which reads the downloaded program data and the download management information from the storage unit; and a reproduction unit which reproduces the downloaded program data with reference to the download management information. Therefore, it is possible to provide not only a typical moving image reproduction function but also a user interaction function and/or other additional functions to a user and to independently execute a program application downloaded to a local storage from a storage medium or from an external database via a network without the storage medium.
