<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a uniform resource indicator (URI) pointer system and method for retrieving MPEG-4 data pointers in an MPEG-2 TS. <P>SOLUTION: The method comprises: receiving an MPEG-2 TS; locating a URI in the TS; in response to the URI, accessing an address; in response to accessing the address, retrieving MPEG-4 resources; and, decoding the MPEG-4 resources. Locating the URI in the TS includes locating a URI selected from a group including a local cache address, a Web protocol identifier, and a local identifier (lid). The MPEG-2 TS may include MPEG-4 resources organized in an Object Carousal (OC) system. Then, lid URIs provide a binding name and access scheme to the objects in the OC. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
