Abstract:
A multimedia application system uses metadata for sensory devices. The system includes: a sensory-device engine for generating a sensory device command (SDC) for controlling the sensory devices based on sensory effect information (SEI) generated to represent sensory effects by using the sensory devices depending on video contents, user preference information (UPI) of the sensory devices and device capability information (DCI) indicative of reproducing capability of the sensory devices; and a sensory-device controller for controlling sensory devices to perform sensory effect reproduction in response to the generated SDC.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for providing metadata for sensory effect, a computer readable recording medium on which the metadata for the sensory effect is recorded, and a method and an apparatus for sensory reproduction. According to this technique, disclosed is a method for providing the metadata for a sensory effect which comprises the steps of: generating SEM (Sensory Effect Metadata) which includes sensory effect information on contents; and transmitting the SEM to a sensory reproduction apparatus engine unit which analyzes the SEM and generates control information on a sensory reproduction apparatus, wherein the sensory effect information includes color calibration effect information on the contents.
