INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM FOR RECORDING DATA IN ADAPTIVELY REPRODUCIBLE DATA STRUCTURE ACCORDING TO PROFILE INFORMATION, SPECIALLY IN REFERENCE TO ADAPTIVELY REPRODUCING DATA FOR VARIOUS REPRODUCTION DEVICES HAVING DIFFERENT INTERACTIVE DATA RANGES

摘要

PURPOSE: An information storage medium for recording data in adaptively reproducible data structure according to profile information is provided to record interactive data having an adaptively reproducible data structure for various reproduction devices having different interactive data ranges, and to record interactive data having a high compatible data structure. CONSTITUTION: Interactive data necessary for reproducing AV data in an interactive mode are displayed with an AV screen obtained from the AV data, and supply related additional information on the AV screen. Profile information shows versions of the interactive data. The interactive data include start-up files initially read when the interactive mode is selected. The profile information is recorded in the start-up files. A reproduction device, reproducing the AV data in the interactive mode, refers to the profile information to select the reproducible interactive data.
