Is described as the bottom direction of the screen. Further, on the screen of the terminal device 100, the direction in which the left end of the content C10 is displayed is described as the screen left direction, and the direction in which the right end of the content C10 is displayed on the screen is described as the screen right direction. To do.

  A terminal device 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 is a smart device such as a smartphone or a tablet, and can communicate with an arbitrary server device via a wireless communication network such as 3G (Generation) or LTE (Long Term Evolution). It is a portable terminal device. Further, the terminal device 100 has a screen such as a liquid crystal display.

  Here, the screen of the terminal device 100 is assumed to have a rectangular screen. More specifically, the screen of the terminal device 100 is assumed to have a vertically long screen in which the length in the vertical direction is longer than the length in the horizontal direction. In the following description, an example in which the terminal device 100 is used in a state where the screen is vertically long is described, but the embodiment is not limited to this, and the terminal device 100 is used in a state where the screen is horizontally long. May be. Further, it is assumed that a touch panel is adopted for the terminal device 100. That is, the user of the terminal device 100 performs various operations by touching the screen with a finger or a stylus.

  The content C10 is various web content distributed to the terminal device 100 via a network such as the Internet. For example, in the content C10, a plurality of display areas C11 to C15 are arranged side by side. As will be described later, the content C10 is displayed with the moving image M10 disposed in each of the display areas C11 to C15.

  Here, it is assumed that the content C10 is a web page optimized for a smart device, and the horizontal display size is the same as the horizontal display size of the screen of the terminal device 100. The content C10 is a web page whose vertical display size is equal to or larger than the vertical display size of the screen of the terminal device 100.

  The moving image M10 is content that is arranged and displayed in each of the display areas C11 to C15 arranged on the content C10, and is content that includes a moving image or a moving image. The moving image M10 is a moving image in which the vertical display size is longer than the horizontal display size, that is, a vertical moving image.

  For example, the moving image M10 is a moving image such as an event distributed via the Internet, a live video or a recorded video such as a sports broadcast, a movie or a program distributed via a moving image distribution service, or the like. Further, the moving image M10 may be a moving image taken by a user and posted on an SNS (Social Networking Service), a microblog, or the like. An arbitrary data format can be adopted as a data format when the moving image M10 is distributed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, since the area having the same display size as the screen of the terminal device 100 is displayed in the content C10, the display sizes of the display areas C13 and C15 are displayed in the other display areas C11, C12, and C14. It is described in a mode smaller than the size. However, the embodiment is not limited to this, and the display areas C11 to C15 are display areas having the same size. In addition, in the content C10, display areas having the same display size are arranged in addition to the display areas C11 to C15.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, as the content C10, the content in which the display areas C11 to C15 in which the moving image M10 is disposed is arranged side by side, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the content C10 may be a web page in which only one display area C11 is arranged and one moving image is arranged and displayed in the display area C11.

  Here, the web page displayed as the content C10 is content in which news, weather forecast, received mail index and contents, photo viewer, and other various contents are arranged in independent tiles, and arranged in tiles. It may be content that can be operated, updated, etc. for each content (hereinafter referred to as a tile). Further, for example, the web page displayed as the content C10 may be a web page displayed with the moving image M11 arranged on one of the tiles.

  In addition, tiles on which content related to advertisements is arranged may be inserted into the web page displayed as the content C10 as needed. For example, the moving image M10 related to the advertisement may be arranged in the display area M11 of the web page displayed as the content C10. In addition, the size of each tile arrange | positioned on a web page, an arrangement position, and the number of the tiles arrange | positioned may be changed automatically for every tile, and may be changed according to a user's operation. The web page may include an input field for inputting a search keyword, a link to another web page, and the like. Further, for example, the content C10 shown in FIG. 1 is similar to the above-described tile, and the display areas C11 to C15 are sequentially read together with the scroll, and are arranged and displayed in the content C10, that is, the user's scroll. It may be content in which a display area is added with the operation.

  Note that the content C10 is set as a layout position and a display position by CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), JavaScript (registered trademark), HTML5, and other scripts that can describe dynamic content. It may be content whose display mode is changed by an operation or the like. For example, the content C10 is content that can include images, characters, figures, symbols, moving images, and the like that are controlled to be displayed, erased, enlarged, reduced, moved, rotated, played back, paused, and the like by user operations. . Note that the content C10 may be a web page described in HTML, XML, or the like.

  Further, all or a part of each moving image M10 arranged in the content C10 may be a moving image that advertises a predetermined product, service, company, or the like, that is, a content related to an advertisement. Here, the content related to the advertisement is not limited to the commercial or non-profit advertisement, but is a volunteer recruitment, a public advertisement, a notification to the public, a part of information regarding the content C10, and other arbitrary contents.

  That is, the moving image M10 is not only content including so-called advertisement-related information, but also interests the user, information included in the content C10, information related to the moving image M10, and content related to the content C10 and the moving image M10. Any moving image can be applied as long as the information included in (for example, a landing page) is widely notified. Further, the moving image M10 may or may not include sound.

  When accepting such distribution of the content C10 and the moving image M10, the terminal device 100 executes the following processing. First, the terminal device 100 accepts the distribution of the content C10 according to the user's operation. In addition, the terminal device 100 acquires the moving image M10 arranged in each of the display areas C11 to C15 according to a predetermined control command included in the content C10. And the terminal device 100 arrange | positions the acquired moving image M10 to each display area C11-C15, and displays the content C10.

[2. Reproduction process executed by terminal device 100]
Here, when the reproduction of the plurality of moving images M10 is automatically started, the plurality of moving images M10 are reproduced at the same time on the screen, the visibility is lowered, and the target to be watched by the user is As a result, the information appealing effect related to each moving image M10 deteriorates. Further, when a plurality of moving images M10 are played back simultaneously, the user's attention is distracted, and the user's impression may be deteriorated. In addition, for example, even when only one moving image M10 is arranged in the content C10, when the reproduction of the moving image M10 is automatically started, other than the moving image M10 included in the content C10. This distracts the attention of the user who has browsed the content and deteriorates the impression of the moving image M10.

  Therefore, the terminal device 100 executes the following reproduction process. First, the terminal device 100 displays the content C10 on which the moving image M10 is arranged. Then, the terminal device 100 reproduces the moving image M10 while the area where the moving image M10 is arranged in the content C10 is selected by the user.

[2-1. (Reproduction processing)
First, the reproduction process executed by the terminal device 100 will be described. For example, the terminal device 100 arranges the moving image M11 in the display area C11 of the content C10, arranges the moving image M12 in the display area C12, arranges the moving image M13 in the display area C13, and moves the moving image M14 in the display area C14. Place. Similarly, the terminal device 100 arranges the moving image M10 in other display areas included in the content C10. Then, the terminal device 100 displays the content C10 without reproducing each moving image M10.

  Here, when the user touches the screen to perform an operation, the terminal device 100 detects a touch position that is a touched position on the screen. Further, when the detected contact position is included in the area where the moving image M11 is displayed, for example, the terminal device 100 determines that the user has touched the area where the moving image M11 is displayed. Then, while the user is in contact with the area where the moving image M11 is displayed, the reproduction of the moving image M11 is continued. That is, the terminal device 100 reproduces the selected moving image M11 while the user selects the moving image M11.

  Further, when the selection of the area where the moving image M10 is arranged is released, the terminal device 100 stops the reproduction of the moving image M10. For example, the terminal device 100 continues to play the moving image M11 while the user is in contact with the area where the moving image M11 is displayed, and the user releases the finger from the screen. When the contact is stopped or the contact position is not included in the area where the moving image M11 is displayed, the reproduction of the moving image M11 is stopped. Then, when the user touches the area where the moving image M11 is displayed again, the terminal device 100 resumes the reproduction of the moving image M11 from the reproduction position that was stopped last time.

[2-2. Regarding the area where the moving image M10 is arranged]
Here, if the terminal device 100 can consider that the user has selected the moving image M10, the terminal device 100 can reproduce the moving image M10 even if the user does not touch the area where the moving image M10 is actually displayed. You may go. For example, when the display size of the display area C11 is larger than the display size of the moving image M11, the terminal device 100 displays the moving image M11 in such a manner that there is a frame around the moving image M11.

  In such a case, in the terminal device 100, when the user selects a frame around the moving image M11, that is, the user touches the region where the display region C11 where the moving image M11 is arranged is displayed. If it is, the moving image M11 may be played back. In the following description, the fact that the user touches not only the area where the moving image M10 is displayed, but also the area where the display area where the moving image M10 is arranged is displayed. May touch. "

[2-3. About attention)
Here, when the moving image M10 is not automatically reproduced, there is a possibility that the browsing of the content C10 may be terminated without reproducing the moving image M10. Therefore, the terminal device 100 may superimpose and display information indicating that the selected moving image M10 is reproduced when the moving image M10 is selected on the content C10. For example, the terminal device 100 may display an attention display in which a text for requesting the user to touch the moving image M10 such as “touch” is superimposed on the content C10.

[2-4. (About the playback bar display)
Further, when the reproduction of the moving image M10 is started, the terminal device 100 may display a reproduction bar indicating the reproduction position so as to overlap the moving image M10. For example, when the user touches the area where the display area C11 where the moving image M11 is arranged is displayed, the terminal device 100 starts the reproduction of the moving image M11 and also displays the reproduction bar B11 indicating the reproduction position. Is superimposed on the moving image M11 and displayed. As a result, in the terminal device 100, even when the selection of the moving image M11 is canceled because the user's finger leaves the screen or the like, and the reproduction of the moving image M11 is stopped, the moving image M11 is a moving image. The user can be informed that playback is resumed by contact.

[2-5. Example of playback processing)
Hereinafter, an example of a reproduction process executed by the terminal device 100 will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, an example of the reproduction process executed when displaying the content C10 in which a plurality of moving images M10 are arranged will be described separately for the first state to the sixth state.

  First, the terminal device 100 accepts the distribution of the content C10 in which the plurality of display areas C11 to C15 are arranged and the moving image M10 arranged in each of the display areas C11 to C15. In such a case, as shown in the first state, the terminal device 100 arranges and displays the moving images M11 to M15 in the display areas C11 to C15 on the screen and suggests that the moving image M11 is touched. The attention display A10 to be displayed is displayed. Then, the terminal device 100 cancels the display of the attention display A10 when the user's finger F10 touches the screen or when a predetermined time has elapsed since the attention display A10 was displayed.

  Here, as shown in the second state, it is assumed that the user's finger F10 contacts the display area C11 or the area where the moving image M11 is displayed. In such a case, the terminal device 100 starts reproducing the moving image M11 as shown in the third state on the assumption that the user has touched the moving image M11. Further, the terminal device 100 displays a reproduction bar B11 indicating a reproduction position being reproduced in the moving image M11 so as to be superimposed on the moving image M11.

  Further, as shown in the fourth state, the terminal device 100 stops (temporarily stops) the reproduction of the moving image M11 when the user's finger F10 is released from the screen. Then, as shown in the fifth state, when the user's finger F10 comes into contact with the moving image M11, the terminal device 100 resumes the reproduction of the moving image M11 from the previously stopped reproduction position. Then, as illustrated in the sixth state, the terminal device 100 continues to reproduce the moving image M11 while the user's finger F10 is in contact with the moving image M11.

  As described above, the terminal device 100 does not automatically start the reproduction of the moving image M10, but reproduces the moving image M10 while being selected by the user. As a result, for example, the terminal device 100 does not arbitrarily start playback of the moving image M10, and thus does not hinder browsing of the content C10. As a result, the terminal device 100 can improve the appeal effect of information related to the content C10 and the moving image M10 as a result of preventing the deterioration of the impression with respect to the moving image M10 and the content C10.

  Further, the terminal device 100 displays the content C10 in which the moving image M10 having a vertically long display size is arranged on the vertically long screen as the content C10. However, when the vertically long moving image M10 is displayed on the vertically long screen, the screen occupation ratio of the moving image M10 is likely to be higher than when the vertically long moving image M10 is displayed on the horizontally long screen. For this reason, when the vertically long moving image M10 is automatically reproduced on the vertically long screen, the visibility of the entire content C10 is greatly deteriorated. However, since the terminal device 100 reproduces the moving image M10 only while being selected by the user, it is possible to prevent the visibility of the content C10 from being deteriorated.

[2-6. (About continuous playback)
Note that if the finger or the like is kept in contact with the moving image M10 in order to continue the reproduction of the moving image M10, the operability is deteriorated. Therefore, when the time when the user contacts the moving image M10 exceeds a predetermined time, the terminal device 100 continues to reproduce the moving image M10 even when the user lifts his / her finger from the screen. May be. Further, the terminal device 100 may stop the reproduction of the moving image M10 when the user contacts the reproduced moving image M10 and the finger is released again from the screen.

[2-7. (Relationship with scroll operation)
Here, the user may perform a scroll operation for moving the display position of the content C10 by moving the contact position without releasing the finger by touching the finger on the screen. In such a scrolling operation, the display position of the content C10 is moved so that the position of the content C10 touched by the user's finger follows the contact position. Therefore, when a scroll operation is performed while touching the moving image M10, the terminal device 100 scrolls the content C10 in which the moving image M10 is arranged while continuing to reproduce the moving image M10.

  Further, the terminal device 100 may change the reproduction mode of the selected moving image M10 based on the content of the scroll operation such as the direction of the scroll operation and the amount of the scroll operation. For example, the terminal device 100 reproduces the moving image M10 when a scrolling operation (hereinafter referred to as an upscrolling operation) for scrolling the content C10 in the upward direction on the screen while being in contact with the moving image M10 is performed. When a scroll operation for scrolling the content C10 downward (hereinafter referred to as a downward scroll operation) is performed, the moving image M10 may be reversely reproduced.

  Further, the terminal device 100 may control the playback position of the moving image M10 according to the amount of scroll operation. For example, when the up scroll operation is performed with the moving image M10 in contact with the moving image M10, the terminal device 100 advances the reproduction position of the moving image M10 to a reproduction position corresponding to the scroll amount, and scrolls down with the moving image M10 in contact with the moving image M10. When the operation is performed, the reproduction position of the moving image M10 may be returned to the reproduction position corresponding to the scroll amount.

[2-8. (Selecting moving images)
In the above-described example, the playback process in which the terminal device 100 having a touch panel such as a smart device plays back the moving image M10 touched by the user is described. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. That is, the terminal device 100 may reproduce the selected moving image M10 in an arbitrary manner as long as it can detect that the user has selected the moving image M10.

  For example, when the position of the cursor operated by the user via an input device such as a mouse overlaps the area where the moving image M10 is placed, the terminal device 100 may start playing the moving image M10. Good. Further, when the content C10 is projected using a projector or the like, the terminal device 100 touches the projected moving image M10 or selects the moving image M10 with a pointer or a laser pointer. In this case, the reproduction of the moving image M10 may be started. That is, the terminal device 100 may reproduce the moving image M10 selected in an arbitrary selection mode as long as the moving image M10 selected by the user is continuously reproduced while being selected.

[2-9. About landing page)
Here, the terminal device 100 may display a moving image M10 that can transition to a predetermined landing page when the user selects it. For example, when the user taps the moving image M10, the terminal device 100 may display a landing page related to the moving image M10.

[2-10. About the execution subject)
Although the description is omitted above, the terminal device 100 can realize the above-described reproduction processing by an arbitrary method. For example, the terminal device 100 may realize the above-described processing by downloading in advance an application that causes the terminal device 100 to execute the above-described reproduction processing and executing the application at an arbitrary timing.

  In addition, the terminal device 100 accepts the distribution of the control information that causes the above-described reproduction processing to be performed simultaneously with the distribution of the content C10 and the distribution of the moving image M10. Then, the terminal device 100 may perform the above-described reproduction process according to the control information. Such control information can be realized by a script language such as JavaScript (registered trademark) or CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) embedded in the content C10. Hereinafter, the terminal device 100 and the like that execute the reproduction process shown in FIG. 1 according to such control information will be described.

[3. Distribution system configuration)

Further, the connection relationship between the processing units included in the control unit 23 is not limited to the connection relationship illustrated in FIG. 3, and may be another connection relationship.

  The submission accepting unit 25 accepts submission of the moving image M10 from the registration terminal 10. For example, the submission receiving unit 25 receives submissions of the moving images M11 to M15 as the moving image M10 that is arranged and displayed on the content C10. In such a case, the submission reception unit 25 registers the received moving images M11 to M15 in the content database 24 in association with the content ID of the content C10. In addition, the submission receiving unit 25 collects the number of impressions and the number of reproductions of the moving images M11 to M15 directly from the terminal device 100 to which the moving images M11 to M15 are distributed or from a predetermined log server or the like. Then, the collected number of impressions and the number of reproductions are registered in the content database 24.

  The request reception unit 26 receives an acquisition request for the content C10 from the terminal device 100. For example, the request reception unit 26 receives an HTTP request as an acquisition request for the content C10.

  When the request for acquiring the content C10 is received by the request receiving unit 26, the content selecting unit 27 receives the content C10 to be distributed and one or more moving images M10 arranged in the content C10 from the content database 24. get. Then, the content selection unit 27 outputs the acquired content C10 and moving image M10 to the distribution unit 28.

  Note that the content selection unit 27 may select the moving image M10 arranged in the content C10 from the moving images M10 associated with the content ID of the content C10. For example, the content selection unit 27 may perform matching of the moving image M10 to be distributed based on the position of the terminal device 100 and the user attribute. For example, the content selection unit 27 may select the moving image M10 to be distributed based on the number of impressions or the guaranteed number of impressions, or may select the moving image M10 having a high bid price or CTR value. Good.

  Moreover, the content selection part 27 may select the moving image M10 which matches a search query, when the web page displayed as the content C10 is a result of a web search. That is, the content selection unit 27 may select the moving image M10 related to the advertisement using an advertisement distribution method called a search-linked advertisement. Further, the content selection unit 27 may select a moving image M10 that matches user attribute information (such as psychographic attributes and demographic attributes). That is, the content selection unit 27 may select the moving image M10 related to the advertisement using an advertisement distribution method called targeting distribution.

  The distribution unit 28 distributes control information that causes the terminal device 100 to execute a reproduction process for both the content C10 and the moving image M10. Specifically, the distribution unit 28 generates content C10 including control information for executing the above-described reproduction process, and distributes the moving image M10 to the terminal device 100 together with the generated content C10.

[5. Configuration of terminal device]
Next, the configuration of the terminal device 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the terminal device according to the embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the terminal device 100 includes a communication unit 110, a storage unit 120, an input unit 130, an output unit 140, and a control unit 150. Note that the terminal device 100 may have any functional configuration other than the functional configuration illustrated in FIG. 5.

  The communication unit 110 is realized by a NIC or the like, for example. The communication unit 110 is connected to the network N by wire or wireless, and transmits / receives information to / from the content distribution server 20. The storage unit 120 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory device such as a RAM or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk.

  The input unit 130 is an input device that receives various operations from a user. For example, the input unit 130 is realized by a keyboard, a mouse, an operation key, or the like. The output unit 140 is a display device for displaying various information, that is, a screen, and is realized by a liquid crystal display or the like. In addition, when a touch panel is employ | adopted for the terminal device 100, the input part 130 and the output part 140 are integrated. In the following description, the output unit 140 may be described as a screen.

  The control unit 150 is realized, for example, by executing various programs stored in a storage device inside the content distribution server 20 using the RAM as a work area by a CPU, an MPU, or the like. The control unit 150 is realized by an integrated circuit such as an ASIC or FPGA, for example.

  As illustrated in FIG. 5, the control unit 150 includes a request unit 151, an operation control unit 152, and a display control unit 153, and realizes or executes functions and operations of information processing described below. The internal configuration of the control unit 150 is not limited to the configuration illustrated in FIG. 5, and may be another configuration as long as the information processing described later is performed. Further, the connection relationship between the processing units included in the control unit 150 is not limited to the connection relationship illustrated in FIG. 5, and may be another connection relationship.

  When the request unit 151 receives a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the content C10 from the operation control unit 152, the request unit 151 transmits an acquisition request for the content C10 indicated by the received URL to the content distribution server 20.

  The operation control unit 152 executes various controls in accordance with user operations received via the input unit 130. For example, the operation control unit 152 outputs to the display control unit 153 the contents of the user's operation such as the contact position that is the position on the screen that the user has touched, the content of the scroll operation, the content of the tap operation, and the like.

  The display control unit 153 executes the above-described reproduction process by executing control information distributed together with the content C10. For example, when the control unit 150 executes the control information, the display control unit 153 operates as a display unit 154, a detection unit 155, and a reproduction unit 156, and executes the above-described reproduction process, as illustrated in FIG. .

  The display unit 154 displays the content C10 in which the moving image M10 moving image is arranged. More specifically, the moving image M10 is displayed by arranging the vertically long moving images M11 to M15 in the display areas C11 to C15 included in the content C10. The display unit 154 displays, on the screen, an attention display A10 indicating that the selected moving image M10 is reproduced when the moving image M10 is selected together with the content C10 in which the moving images M11 to M15 are arranged. .

  Further, the display unit 154 changes the display mode of the content C10 according to the user's operation. For example, when the user performs a scroll operation on the screen, the display unit 154 scrolls the content C10 according to the scroll operation performed by the user.

  The detection unit 155 detects the moving image M10 selected by the user. For example, the detection unit 155 acquires the contact position where the user's finger contacts. Then, the detection unit 155 determines whether or not the contact position is included in the moving image M10 or the display area where the moving image M10 is arranged. Then, when the contact position is included in the moving image M10 or the display area where the moving image M10 is arranged, the detecting unit 155 detects the moving image M10 as the selected moving image M10. Note that the detection unit 155 performs the above-described processing at predetermined time intervals. For this reason, for example, while the user is in contact with the moving image M11, the detection unit 155 continues to detect the moving image M11 as the moving image M10 selected by the user.

  The reproduction unit 156 reproduces the moving image M10 while the area where the moving image M10 is arranged in the content C10 is selected by the user. More specifically, the reproduction unit 156 continues to reproduce the moving image M10 while the user is in contact with the area where the moving image M10 is displayed. Further, the reproduction unit 156 stops the reproduction of the moving image M10 when the selection of the area where the moving image M10 is arranged is canceled, for example, when the user's finger is released from the screen. Then, when the area where the moving image M10 is arranged is selected again, the reproducing unit 156 resumes the reproduction of the moving image M10 from the reproduction position where it was previously stopped.

  For example, when the moving image M11 is detected as the moving image M10 selected by the user, the reproducing unit 156 continues to reproduce the moving image M11 while the moving image M11 is continuously detected. Then, when the moving image M10 selected by the user is no longer detected, the reproducing unit 156 stops the reproduction of the moving image M11 and stores the reproduction position reproduced last in the moving image M11. Then, when the moving image M11 is detected again as the moving image M10 selected by the user, the reproducing unit 156 resumes the reproduction of the moving image M11 from the stored reproduction position.

[6. Variations on playback processing
In the above, an example of the reproduction process by the terminal device 100 has been described using the reproduction mode illustrated in FIG. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. Hereinafter, variations of the reproduction processing executed by the terminal device 100 will be described. Note that the playback processing described below is realized by, for example, the functions exhibited by the display unit 154 and the playback unit 156, but the embodiment is not limited to this.

[6-1. (Playback mode during scroll operation)
In the example described above, the terminal device 100 continues to reproduce the moving image M10 while the user is in contact with the moving image M10. Here, when the user scrolls the content C10 while keeping contact with the moving image M10, the terminal device 100 may scroll the content C10 while continuing to reproduce the moving image M10.

  For example, FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a process in which the terminal device according to the embodiment reproduces a moving image during a scroll operation. In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, an example of the reproduction process performed during the scroll operation is described in the first state to the sixth state. In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, an example in which the moving image M11 is arranged in the display area C14 and the moving image M14 is arranged in the display area C11 is described.

  For example, the terminal device 100 accepts distribution of the content C10 and the moving image M10 as in FIG. In such a case, the terminal device 100 arranges and displays the moving image M10 in each of the display areas C11 to C15 included in the content C10 as shown in the first state. Here, as shown in the second state, the user's finger F10 comes into contact with the display area C14 or the area where the moving image M11 is displayed, and the contact position is moved upward as it is without leaving the screen. In other words, it is assumed that an up scroll operation has been performed. In such a case, as shown in the third state, the terminal device 100 scrolls the content C10 in the upward direction on the screen while continuing to play the moving image M11.

  Further, when the user's finger F10 performs a downward scroll operation without moving away from the moving image M11 as shown in the third state, the terminal device 100 reproduces the moving image M11 as shown in the fourth state. While continuing, the content C10 is scrolled downward in the screen. Then, as shown in the fourth state, the terminal device 100 stops the reproduction of the moving image M11 when the user's finger F10 leaves the screen. Subsequently, as shown in the fifth state, when the user's finger F10 comes into contact with the moving image M11 again and performs the downward scroll operation as it is, the terminal device 100 stops the previous movement of the moving image M11. As shown in the sixth state, the content C10 is scrolled downward on the screen.

[6-2. Change of playback mode according to scrolling operation)
Further, the terminal device 100 may change the reproduction mode of the selected moving image M10 based on the content of the scroll operation. For example, if the up scroll operation is performed while the area where the moving image M11 is displayed is selected, the terminal device 100 may advance the playback position of the moving image M11 by an amount corresponding to the amount of the scroll operation. Good. In addition, when a downward scroll operation is performed while the area where the moving image M11 is displayed is selected, the terminal device 100 may return the playback position of the moving image M11 by an amount corresponding to the amount of the scroll operation. Good.

  For example, FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a process in which the terminal device according to the embodiment controls the playback mode of the moving image according to the content of the scroll operation. In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, an example of processing for controlling the playback mode of the moving image according to the content of the scroll operation is described separately for the first state to the sixth state. Further, in the example illustrated in FIG. 7, as in FIG. 6, the example in which the moving image M <b> 11 is disposed in the display area C <b> 14 and the moving image M <b> 14 is disposed in the display area C <b> 11 has been described.

  For example, the terminal device 100 accepts distribution of the content C10 and the moving image M10. In such a case, the terminal device 100 arranges and displays the moving image M10 in each of the display areas C11 to C15 included in the content C10 as shown in the first state. Here, as shown in the second state, when the user's finger F10 comes into contact with the display area C14 or the area where the moving image M11 is displayed, the terminal device 100 starts the reproduction of the moving image M11.

  Here, as illustrated in the third state, when the terminal device 100 performs an up scroll operation while the user's finger F10 is in contact with the moving image M11, as illustrated in the third state, as illustrated in the fourth state, the moving image M11. The content C10 including is scrolled upward in the screen, and the reproduction position of the moving image M11 is advanced by the amount of the upward scroll operation. That is, the terminal device 100 fast-forwards the moving image M11 according to the amount of upward scrolling.

  Further, as illustrated in the fourth state, the terminal device 100 displays the moving image M11 as illustrated in the fifth state when the user's finger F10 performs a downward scroll operation while being in contact with the moving image M11. The content C10 included is scrolled downward on the screen, and the playback position of the moving image M11 is returned by the amount of the scroll-down operation. Then, as shown in the fifth state, when the user's finger F10 further performs a scroll-down operation as shown in the fifth state, the terminal device 100 scrolls the content C10 downward in the screen as shown in the sixth state. At the same time, the playback position of the moving image M11 is further returned by the amount of the downward scroll operation. That is, the terminal device 100 quickly reverses the playback position of the moving image M11 according to the amount of upward scrolling.

[6-3. (Continue playback)
In addition, when the time when the user contacts the moving image M10 exceeds a predetermined time, the terminal device 100 continues to reproduce the moving image M10 even when the user lifts his / her finger from the screen. May be. For example, FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a process in which the terminal device according to the embodiment continues the reproduction of the moving image. In the example illustrated in FIG. 8, an example of the process of continuing the reproduction of the moving image M11 even when the user's finger F10 is separated from the moving image M11 is described in the first state to the fourth state.

  For example, when receiving the distribution of the content C10 and the moving image M10, the terminal device 100 arranges and displays the moving image M10 in each of the display areas C11 to C15 included in the content C10 as shown in the first state. When the user's finger F10 contacts the moving image M11 as shown in the first state, the terminal device 100 starts the reproduction of the moving image M11 as shown in the second state.

  Here, in the second state, it is assumed that the time when the user's finger F10 contacts the moving image M11 exceeds a predetermined threshold (for example, 3 seconds). In such a case, as shown in the third state, the terminal device 100 continues to reproduce the moving image M11 even when the user's finger F10 is released from the screen. And the terminal device 100 reproduces | regenerates the moving image M11 to the last, as shown to a 4th state.

  When the terminal device 100 is in the third state or in the fourth state, the user's finger F10 comes into contact with the moving image M11, and then the user's finger F10 moves away from the screen. The reproduction of the moving image M11 may be stopped. That is, the terminal device 100 may stop the reproduction of the moving image M10 when the moving image M10 that has been reproduced is selected again and then the selection is canceled.

[6-4. (Play multiple videos)
Further, the terminal device 100 may reproduce a plurality of moving images M10 at the same time. For example, if the user has been in contact with the moving image M11 for a predetermined time or longer, the terminal device 100 continues to reproduce the moving image M11 even after the finger F10 has left the moving image M11. In such a state, when the user's finger F10 contacts the area where the moving image M12 is placed, the terminal device 100 may play the moving image M12 while continuing to play the moving image M11. . Further, when starting the reproduction of the moving image M12, the terminal device 100 may stop the reproduction of the moving image M11 regardless of the operation of the user.

[6-5. (Acquisition of moving image)
Here, when data of all the moving images M10 is acquired at the time of distribution of the content C10, there is a possibility that the response when displaying the content C10 and the moving image M10 may be reduced. Further, when data of all the moving images M10 arranged in the content C10 is acquired, the data communication amount increases, and there is a possibility that the user's impression is deteriorated. Therefore, the terminal device 100 may acquire only a predetermined range of each moving image M10 as a buffer when distributing the content C10.

  For example, when distributing the content C10, the terminal device 100 requests the content distribution server 20 to distribute data for 20 frames from the top of each moving image M10. In such a case, the content distribution server 20 distributes only the requested range of each moving image M10. Then, the terminal device 100 arranges and displays each distributed moving image M10 on the content C10.

  In addition, for example, when the user selects the moving image M11, the terminal device 100 transmits a distribution request for data in a range not acquired in the selected moving image M11 to the content distribution server 20. Then, the terminal device 100 may start the reproduction of the moving image M11 while receiving the data of the moving image M11. By executing such processing, the terminal device 100 can reduce the amount of communication when displaying the content C10 in which a plurality of moving images M10 are arranged.

[6-6. Others]
The terminal device 100 may execute the reproduction process by appropriately combining the arbitrary processes described above. Such a combination can be arbitrarily set by a user, an advertiser, or the like when the moving image M10 is registered in the content distribution server 20. Then, the content distribution server 20 generates control information that causes the terminal device 100 to execute the reproduction process of the set content, and distributes the generated control information to the terminal device 100. As a result, the terminal device 100 can combine and execute the above-described arbitrary processes according to the advertiser settings.

[7. Processing flow of terminal device 100]
Next, the procedure of processing executed by the terminal device 100 that executed the control information will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a flow of reproduction processing executed by the terminal device according to the embodiment. For example, the terminal device 100 receives a predetermined range (for example, from the beginning to a predetermined reproduction area) of the content C10 and each moving image M10 from the content distribution server 20 in accordance with a user operation (step S101). ). Next, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not the content C10 and each moving image M10 have been received (step S102). When it is determined that the content has not been received (step S102: No), the terminal device 100 continues to receive it. stand by.

  When the terminal device 100 receives the content C10 and each moving image M10 (step S102: Yes), the terminal device 100 arranges and displays each moving image M10 on the content C10 (step S103). Subsequently, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not an area in which the moving image M10 is arranged is selected (step S104). When the region is selected (step S104: Yes), among the selected moving images M10, Then, acquisition of the remaining reproduction area that has not been downloaded is started (step S105), and reproduction of the selected moving image M10 is started (step S106).

  Next, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not the selection has been released (step S107). If the selection has not been released (step S107: No), the terminal device 100 continues to play the selected moving image (step S107: No). Step S108), Step S107 is executed again. When the selection is canceled (step S107: Yes), the terminal device 100 stops the reproduction of the moving image (step S109).

  Further, the terminal device 100 determines whether or not the content C10 is to be transitioned by a process such as a user tapping a link (step S110). When the terminal device 100 changes the content C10 (step S110: Yes), the terminal device 100 changes the content C10 (step S111) and ends the process.

  On the other hand, when the terminal device 100 does not change the content C10 (step S110: No), the terminal device 100 executes step S104. If the area where the moving image M10 is arranged is not selected (step S104: No), the terminal device 100 waits until it is selected.
