The aforementioned structure of the video playback system 100 can also support the producer or director of the film to utilize these additional sensory effect manufacturing devices to create a corresponding scenario effect. For example, in the process of playing the aforementioned target movie or auxiliary movie on the main display 115 of the video playback device 110, the indication module 250 in the multi-fire show control server 130 can be used to indicate the use of the portable communication device 120 through the network. The vibrating device vibrates in a predetermined mode, performs a predetermined state of illumination using the illumination device, releases a predetermined scent using the scent storage device, or simultaneously performs at least one of the foregoing operations to manufacture and play with the main display 115 at that time. The content of the film is related to the plot effect, thereby enhancing the user's perception of the content of the film. In addition, in the process of playing the aforementioned auxiliary movie or target movie on the screen 125 of the portable communication device 120, the indication module 250 in the multi-shot display control server 130 may also instruct the portable communication device 120 to utilize the vibration device. The illuminating device, and/or the scent storage device, performs at least one of the foregoing operations to produce a plot effect relating to the content of the movie being played by the screen 125 at the time, thereby enhancing the user's perception of the content of the movie.

It can be seen from the foregoing description that the foregoing structure of the video playing system 100 allows the film producer or director to use the more and more portable communication device 120 to synchronously play the auxiliary video corresponding to the target movie content, so that the content of the story is made. The presentation is no longer limited to the aforementioned single primary display 115. In this way, when the main display 115 plays the target movie, the user can view the image different from the target movie viewing angle, the different time and space of the target movie, or the scenario from the screen 125 of the portable communication device 120. The enlarged result of the partial image area of the target movie can greatly enhance the user's flexibility and entertainment for the content of the viewed movie, thereby providing a richer and different movie viewing experience for consumers.
