  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a video reproduction apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the video reproduction apparatus 1 includes a recording medium 10, a microcomputer 11, an operation input unit 12, a first screen generation unit 13, a second screen generation unit 14, a video composition unit 15, an output terminal 16, and remote control reception. A portion 18 is provided. The first screen generation unit 13 includes a first memory 130 and a first decoder 131, and the second screen generation unit 14 includes a second memory 140 and a second decoder 141. Reference numeral 2 denotes a display device such as a television or a monitor. The video reproduction device 1 and the display device 2 are connected by a connection cable 17.

  The recording medium 10 is, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD), an optical disk drive such as a BD / DVD, a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory, and the like, and can store video data such as broadcast programs and photographed videos. Further, the recording medium 10 does not need to be built in the video playback device 1 and may be outside the video playback device 1 such as on a network.

  The operation input unit 12 is an operation button that accepts various operations (play, stop, skip, etc.). The user operates the operation button and outputs an operation signal corresponding to the operation button to the microcomputer 11. In some cases, the user operates the remote controller 19, receives the operation signal by the remote control receiver 18, and outputs it to the microcomputer 11.

  The microcomputer 11 is composed mainly of a microprocessor, extracts video data stored in the recording medium 10, and outputs the video data to the first screen generation unit 13 or the second screen generation unit 14, It receives an operation signal from the input unit 12 or the remote control receiving unit 18 and performs control according to it.

  First, a process for displaying (reproducing) the video data stored in the recording medium 10 on the display device 2 will be described.

  When a reproduction operation signal is input to the microcomputer 11 from the operation input unit 12 or the remote control receiving unit 18, the video data stored in the recording medium 10 is stored in the first memory of the first screen generation unit 13 via the microcomputer 11. 130. The video data input to the first memory 130 is sequentially output to the first decoder 131. The video data is decoded (decoded) by the first decoder 131, converted into video data that can be displayed on the display device 2, and output to the video synthesis unit 15.

  The video composition unit 15 is mainly configured by a scaler that adjusts the display size and position of the input video data, and outputs the video data output from the first screen generation unit 13 to the output terminal 16.

  The output terminal 16 is a terminal for outputting a video signal to the outside, and the video signal output from the output terminal 16 is output to the display device 2 via the cable 17. Here, the cable 17 is a cable for sending a video signal such as an HDMI cable or a composite cable.

  In addition, the video reproduction apparatus 1 of the present invention has a second screen generation unit 14 having the same configuration as the first screen generation unit 13, and is stored in the recording medium 10 in the same manner as the first screen generation unit 13. The video data is output to the microcomputer 11, the second memory 140, and the second decoder 141, decoded by the second decoder 141, and output to the video composition unit 15. Here, the second memory 140 and the second decoder 141 are equivalent to the first memory 130 and the first decoder 131, respectively.

  The video composition unit 15 can also output the video data from the second screen generation unit 14 to the output terminal 16.

  Further, the video data stored in the recording medium 10 is input to both the first screen generation unit 13 and the second screen generation unit 14 via the microcomputer 11, and the first screen generation unit 13 and the second screen are input. The two video data from the generation unit 14 can be combined and output to the output terminal 16 as one video.

  As described above, when video data is input only from the first screen generation unit 13, the video synthesis unit 15 outputs the video data from the output terminal 16 and displays it on the display device 2. When video data is input only from the second screen generation unit 14, the video data is output from the output terminal 16 and displayed on the display device 2.

  Furthermore, when video data is input from the second screen generation unit 14 together with the first screen generation unit 13, the video data output from the first screen generation unit 13 and the video output from the second screen generation unit 14 The video data synthesized with the data is output to the display device 2 for display. Furthermore, the video composition unit 15 can also synthesize and display information such as the playback position of the video data output from the first screen generation unit 13 and the video data output from the second screen generation unit 14.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an image output from the output terminal 16 (displayed on the display device 2). The first screen generation unit 13 is displayed as the main screen 20 on the entire screen, and the video generated by the second screen generation unit 14 is reduced to the lower right corner of the parent screen 20 and displayed as the child screen 21. ing.

  Further, information on the reproduction position of the video data of the first screen generation unit 13 and the second screen generation unit is displayed in the lower left corner.

  The playback position information 22 includes a progressive bar display unit 220 indicating the length of the entire video data, a video data total playback time display unit 221 indicating the total playback time of the video data, and a parent screen indicating the elapsed time at the playback position on the parent screen. A playback elapsed time display unit 222, a parent screen playback position display unit 223 indicating a playback position on the parent screen with respect to the entire video data, a child screen playback elapsed time display unit 224 indicating an elapsed time at the playback position on the child screen, and the entire video data A sub-screen playback position display unit 225 indicating the playback position on the sub-screen, and a sub-screen playback position scene name display unit 226 indicating the name of the scene being played back on the sub-screen.

  When there is no name in the scene being played back on the sub-screen, the sub-screen playback position scene name display unit 226 is blank.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining video data. The start position of the video data is 301, the end position is 302, and there are three digest scenes 31, 32, and 33. The first digest scene 31 is a section from the start position 311 to the end position 312, the second digest scene 32 is a section from the start position 321 to the end position 322, and the third digest scene 33 is a section from the start position 331 to the end position 332. It is.

  The digest scenes 31, 32, and 33 are obtained by extracting scenes having an importance level equal to or higher than a predetermined value in each scene of the entire video data, and the extraction is performed by the microcomputer 11.

  Next, background skip playback, which is a feature of the present invention (in order to distinguish it from conventional skip playback, the skip playback of the present invention is referred to as background skip playback) will be described in detail.

  This function is used when searching for a scene that suits the user's preference over the currently viewed scene while continuing to reproduce the currently viewed scene during normal playback.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart relating to the background skip reproduction processing of the video reproduction apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. A case where the user performs a background skip playback operation during playback of video data in the video playback apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, when the reproduction operation of the video data stored in the storage medium 10 is performed, the first screen generation unit 13 starts output from the video data start position 301 (S401). At this time, video data is not output from the second screen generator. While the video data is being output, the microcomputer 11 waits for input of an operation signal from the operation input unit 12 or the remote control receiving unit 18 (S402).

  Here, when an operation signal is input, it is determined whether the input operation signal is an operation signal for background skip reproduction (S403). If the input operation signal is not a background skip playback operation signal, processing according to the operation signal is performed, and the process returns to S402.

  In S403, when the input operation signal is an operation signal for background skip reproduction, the video data in the recording medium 10 is also output to the second screen generation unit 14 and decoded by the second screen generation unit 14. The sub-screen 21 is generated from the video signal (S404).

  Then, it skips to the next digest scene in the sub-screen 21, and playback is executed from the start position of that scene (S405). That is, if the time when the background skip playback operation signal is input is the time t in FIG. 3, the next skip scene 32 is skipped to the start position 321.

  At this time, the reproduction of the video data in the first screen generation unit 13 is continuously output as the main screen 20. While the video data of both the first screen generation unit 13 and the second screen generation unit 14 is being output, the microcomputer 11 waits for input of an operation signal from the operation input unit 12 or the remote control reception unit 18 (S406).

  Here, it is assumed that the user inputs keys corresponding to the following operation signals using the operation input unit 12 or the remote controller 19.

  In the video data being played on the sub-screen 21, “skip playback” is used to skip to the next digest scene, “decision” is selected for a scene that matches the user's preference, and there is no scene that matches the user's preference. In this case, a key corresponding to each of “return” is input, and an operation signal corresponding to the key is input to the microcomputer 11.

  First, in S407, it is determined whether the input operation signal is a “skip playback” operation signal. If the operation signal is a “skip playback” operation signal, the process returns to S405, and the video data in the sub-screen 21 is skipped to the next third digest scene 33 and reproduced from the start position 331 of the scene. Output from the second screen generation unit 14.

  In this way, only the video data of the second video generation unit 14 can be skip-played one after another on the sub-screen 21 while the video data from the first screen generation unit 13 is output on the main screen 20. In S407, if the operation signal is other than the “skip playback” operation signal, the process proceeds to S408. In step S408, it is determined whether the input operation signal is a “decision” operation signal. If the operation signal is “decision”, the child screen 21 is deleted in step S409. The output of the video data from the first screen generation unit 13 is stopped, the video data from the second screen generation unit 14 is output to the display device 2 as the parent screen 21 (S410), and the process is terminated.

  If the input operation signal is not the “determine” operation signal in S408, the process proceeds to S411. In S411, it is determined whether the input operation signal is a “return” operation signal. If the operation signal is “return”, the sub-screen 21 is deleted in S412 and the video data from the second screen generation unit 14 is deleted. Is stopped, the video data from the first screen generator continues to be output to the display device 2 as it is (S413), and the process is terminated.

If the operation signal is other than “Return” in S411, the process returns to S406.
In the above description, the operation input for the background skip playback is other than the digest scene. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the background skip playback operation is performed during the playback of the first digest scene 31. In (S403), the video data reproduced in S405 is reproduced while being skipped at the start time 321 of the second digest scene 32 which is the next digest scene.

  In the above description, the case where the background skip reproduction operation is performed when the video data is output only from the first screen generation unit 13 has been described. However, the video data is transmitted only from the second screen generation unit 14. Even when a background skip playback operation is performed in the output state, the background skip playback function can be used. At that time, the roles of the first screen generation unit 13 and the second screen generation unit 14 in the above are reversed, the video of the first image generation unit 13 becomes the sub-screen 21, and the video of the second image generation unit 14 is The main screen 20 is displayed. Here, the parent screen continuation processing S410 and S413 are performed after the child screen deletion S409 and S412, but this order may be reversed.

  In the above description, the first screen generation unit 13 and the second screen generation unit 14 have been described as being equivalent. However, the output of the video data from the second screen generation unit 14 is reduced to a small screen such as the child screen 21. When the output is dedicated to the output, the performance of the second screen generation unit 14 may be lower than that of the first screen generation unit 13. In that case, when the reproduction of the child screen 21 is continued on the parent screen 20 in the sequence S410 of FIG. 5, the output of the video data performed by the second screen generation unit 14 is switched to the output from the first screen generation unit.

In the above description, when the reproduction is performed simultaneously on the main screen 20 and the sub-screen 21, the sound of an arbitrary screen is output as the sound. Or you may synthesize | combine and output the audio | voice of both screens.
In addition to the skip operation, the background skip playback includes other operations such as fast-forward, rewind, skip in the reverse direction, pause, and normal playback. Convenience can also be improved.

  For example, when the second digest scene 32 is being played back on the child screen 21, when fast forward or rewind processing is performed, the second digest scene 32 on the child screen 21 is fast forwarded or rewinded. To do. Regarding skipping in the reverse direction, when the second digest scene 32 is being reproduced on the sub-screen 21, the start time 321 of the second digest scene 32 or the start time 311 of the first digest scene 31 immediately before is displayed. Try to skip.

  In FIG. 2, the child screen 21 is combined with the lower right corner of the parent screen 20, but is not limited to the lower right corner, and may be, for example, the lower left corner, the upper right corner, and the upper left corner. Alternatively, the main screen 20 and the sub-screen 21 may be switched so that the video data from the first image generation unit 13 is displayed as the sub-screen 21 and the video data from the second image generation unit 14 is displayed as the main screen 20. good. Alternatively, the child screen 21 does not need to be included in the parent screen 20, and the parent screen 20 and the child screen 21 may be combined in a state where they are aligned vertically and horizontally.

  In the above, skipping to the next digest scene and playing is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in S405, skipping to the next chapter and playing back the chapters one after another. You may make it skip.

  Note that the display of the reproduction position information 3 is not necessarily required to realize the function of the present invention, and only the display of the main screen 20 and the sub-screen 21 and the display of the reproduction position information 3 may be omitted. Needless to say.

  As described above, according to the video playback apparatus 1 to which the first embodiment of the present invention is applied, the other scenes in the same video data are displayed in the child screen while the continuation of the scene being viewed is played back on the parent screen. Searchable. This makes it easy to compare the continuation of the scene being viewed with the scene being searched. In addition, when there is a scene that matches the user's preference after the scene being viewed, it is possible to prevent the user from overlooking, and this provides an excellent effect on user convenience.

  Or, if there is no scene that suits the user's preference in the destination moved by the search operation including the skip playback operation, the user can view the continuation of the scene that was viewed before the background skip playback operation with a simple operation. Demonstrates the excellent effect of improving convenience.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the video reproduction apparatus 5 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the video reproduction apparatus 5, 53 is a video generation unit, and 55 is a video synthesis unit. Since all blocks other than the video generation unit 53 and the video synthesis unit 55 are common to the video reproduction device 1 of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  The video generation unit 53 includes a first memory 130, a first decoder 131, and a third memory 540. The first memory 130 and the first decoder 131 are the same as the first memory 130 and the first decoder 131 of the video reproduction device 1 of the first embodiment. The third memory 540 stores the video output from the first decoder 131 as a still image and outputs it to the video synthesis unit 55. The third memory 540 is also used for storing reproduction position information of video data.

  The video composition unit 55 outputs the video data output from the first decoder 131 to the output terminal 16. When receiving still image data input from the third memory 540, the video data output from the first decoder 131 and the still image data in the third memory 540 are combined and output.

  Next, the operation when background skip playback is executed in the video playback device 5 will be described in detail.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart relating to the background skip reproduction process of the video reproduction apparatus 5 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. A case where the user performs a background skip playback operation during playback of video data in the video playback device 5 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, when the reproduction operation of the video data stored in the storage medium 10 is performed, the first decoder 131 starts output from the start position 301 of the video data in the recording medium 10 (S601). At this time, video (still image) data is not output from the third memory 540.

  While the video data is being output, the microcomputer 11 waits for input of an operation signal from the operation input unit 12 or the remote control reception unit 18 (S602). Here, when an operation signal is input, it is determined whether the input operation signal is an operation signal for background skip reproduction (S603). If the input operation signal is not a background skip reproduction operation signal, processing according to the operation signal is performed, and the process returns to S602.

  In S603, when the input operation signal is an operation signal for background skip reproduction, the video data output from the first decoder 131 at that time is stored in the third memory 540 as still image data, and at that time The reproduction position information of the video data is stored in the third memory 540, and the still image data stored in the third memory 540 is output to the video composition unit 55, and is generated as the child screen 21 (S604).

  Then, by displaying the still image data stored in the third memory 540 on the parent screen 20, the reproduction of the parent screen is temporarily stopped (S605). At the same time, it skips to the next digest scene in the sub-screen 21, and playback is executed from the start position of that scene (S606).

  That is, if the time when the background skip playback operation signal is input is the time t in FIG. 3, the next skip scene 32 is skipped to the start position 321. Further, the reproduction position information of the video data stored in the third memory 540 is time t.

  While both the video data from the first decoder 131 and the still image data from the third memory are input to the video synthesizer 55, the microcomputer 11 waits for input of an operation signal from the operation input unit 12 or the remote control receiver 18. A state is entered (S607).

  Here, as in the first embodiment, the user inputs keys corresponding to the following operation signals using the operation input unit 12 or the remote controller 19.

  In the video data being played on the sub-screen 21, “skip playback” is used to skip to the next digest scene, “decision” is selected for a scene that matches the user's preference, and there is no scene that matches the user's preference. In this case, a key corresponding to each of “return” is input, and an operation signal corresponding to the key is input to the microcomputer 11.

  First, in step S608, it is determined whether the input operation signal is a “skip playback” operation signal. If the operation signal is a “skip playback” operation signal, the process returns to S606, the video data in the sub-screen 21 is skipped at the start time 331 of the next third digest scene 33, and the playback process is performed. 1 decoder 131 outputs. In this manner, video data from the first decoder 131 can be skip-played one after another on the sub-screen 21 while still image data stored in the third memory 540 is output on the main screen 20. In S608, if the operation signal is other than the “skip playback” operation signal, the process proceeds to S609.

  In step S609, it is determined whether the input operation signal is a “decision” operation signal. If the operation signal is “decision”, the sub-screen 21 is deleted in step S610, and the third memory 540 transfers to the video composition unit 55. Is stopped, the video data from the first decoder 131 is output to the display device 2 as the main screen 21 (S611), and the process is terminated.

  As in the first embodiment, when the third digest scene 33 is being displayed on the child screen 21, the third digest scene 33 is continuously displayed on the parent screen 20.

  If it is determined in S609 that the input operation signal is not a “determine” operation signal, the process proceeds to S612. In S612, it is determined whether the input operation signal is a “return” operation signal. If the operation signal is a “return” operation signal, the child screen 21 is deleted in S613 and the third memory 540 transfers to the video composition unit 55. Output of the still image data is stopped, the playback position of the video data input to the video generator 53 is changed to the playback position (time t) stored in the third memory 540, and the video data from the first decoder 131 is changed. Is output, the reproduction of the main screen is resumed (S413), and the process ends.

If the operation signal is other than “Return” in S612, the process returns to S607.
Here, the parent screen continuation processing S611 or the parent screen resumption processing S614 is performed after the child screen deletion S610 and S613 processing, but this order may be reversed.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, two decoders, the first decoder 131 and the second decoder 142, are required. However, the second embodiment has an advantage that only the first decoder 131 is required.

  In addition to the skip operation, the background skip playback includes other operations such as fast-forward, rewind, skip in the reverse direction, pause, and normal playback. Convenience can also be improved.

  In the above, skipping to the next digest scene and playing is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this. In S606, skipping is played back to the next chapter, and skipping to chapters one after another. You may make it do.

  As described above, according to the video playback device 5 to which the second embodiment of the present invention is applied, while still images of the scene being viewed are played back on the parent screen, other scenes in the same video data are stored in the child screen. It is possible to search with. This makes it easy to compare the scene being viewed with the scene being searched. When there is no scene that suits the preference in the scene being searched, it is possible to continue the viewing of the scene that was being viewed before the search operation with a simple operation, which is an excellent effect of improving the convenience in the user operation.

  Also, by displaying the scene that was viewed before the search operation as a still image, it is possible to achieve an excellent effect on the user's convenience of facilitating the understanding of the scene that was viewed before the search operation.
