If the operation unit 8 is operated, for example, “Telop introduction” is instructed and the “select” button 121 or the center key 124 is pressed, then the screen of FIG. 5C is displayed.

  In the screen of FIG. 5C, a telop supply source that is a telop storage place of the telop file to be introduced is selected. In FIG. 5C, for example, the memory 21 (Handset Memory) and the memory card 9 (Memory Card) mounted in the memory card access unit 19 are presented as the telop supply source. If one of the desired ones is designated and the “select” button 121 or the center key 124 is pressed, the screen is switched to a screen for displaying the telop list of FIG.

  On the screen of FIG. 5D, the file names of the telop files stored in the telop supply source selected in FIG. 5C are read by the CPU 20 and displayed in a list. If the user operates the operation unit 8 to specify the file name of the telop to be introduced from the telop list and presses the “select” button 121 or the center key 124, the screen displays information on the telop as shown in FIG. Is switched to a menu screen for the user to set.

  On the screen shown in FIG. 5E, the telop data TD of the selected telop file Fi and related attribute data ATi can be set. If the user does not want to set (change or update) information relating to the telop data TD or the attribute data ATi, the user may press the “set” button 122 on the screen. In this case, the control unit 13 sets information relating to the telop data TD or the attribute data ATi. That is, the data A5 of the attribute data ATi is set so as to instruct default setting (refer to the preset data DA). Further, the content of the telop data TD becomes the content of the telop data TD included in the selected telop file Fi, and the screen returns to the screen of FIG. Thus, the automatic setting by the control unit 13 of the introduction and display attribute data ATi of the telop is completed.

  In FIG. 5E, regarding the telop data TD, editing of characters of the telop content TC, display setting that is the setting of the data A1 to A4 of the attribute data ATi, and character modification that is the setting of character modification of the telop content TC, etc. List items. Here, when the user desires to edit the character of the telop content TC, the user operates the operation unit 8 to select “telop character” on the screen, and presses the center key 124. Thereby, the screen is switched to the screen of FIG. If it is desired to set the display attribute of the telop content TC, the operation unit 8 is operated to select “display setting” on the screen, and the center key 124 is pressed. Thus, the screen is switched to the screen of FIG. When it is desired to modify the text of the telop content TC, the operation unit 8 is operated to select “character modification” on the screen, and the center key 124 is pressed. As a result, the screen is switched to the screen shown in FIG.

  When “character editing” is selected on the screen of FIG. 5F, the characters of the telop content TC can be corrected. “Time setting” can correct the reproduction time (reproduction start time TS or reproduction end time TE) of the telop data TD.

  On the screen shown in FIG. 5G, the operation unit 8 is operated for attributes relating to telop display such as “display position”, “character size”, “background color”, “scroll”, “preset”, etc. of the telop content TC. Can be set as desired by the user. When enabling the contents desired by the user such as “display position”, “character size”, “background color”, “scroll”, etc., the user does not refer to “preset” and preset data DA. Set it.

  On the screen of FIG. 5H, attributes relating to character decoration such as “character color”, “highlight”, “flashing”, etc. can be set as desired by the user for the characters of the telop content TC.

  When all the telop settings are completed, the “return” button 123 is operated to return to the screen of FIG. When the “set” button 122 is pressed, the telop setting becomes the set value set above, the telop content becomes the content included in the telop file, and the “return” button 123 is operated to operate FIG. ) Screen.

  When the telop file selected in the above procedure is read out and stored in a predetermined area of the memory 21, and the telop contents and display attributes of the telop data of the telop file in the predetermined area are subsequently set by the operation of the operation unit 8. The set contents are also temporarily stored in a predetermined area of the memory 21. When the setting is completed (returning to the screen of FIG. 5B), the CPU 20 reads the contents of the telop data and the display attributes of the telop file stored in the predetermined area of the memory 21, and the telop file in the storage unit 11 The area E1 and the attribute data area E2 are stored in association with each other as the telop file Fi and the attribute data ATi. This completes the introduction of the telop and the display setting.

  6 is a schematic flowchart for adding a telop when playing a movie. FIGS. 7, 8, and 9 are flowcharts for a telop introduction operation process, a telop introduction control process, and a telop reproduction control process, and FIG. It is a flowchart of a telop display process. Programs according to these flowcharts are stored in advance in a storage medium such as the memory 21, and each process is executed by the CPU 20 reading and executing each program from the memory 21. The operation of adding a telop when playing a movie on the mobile phone 18 will be described with reference to each flowchart.

  When the user operates the operation unit 8 to instruct reproduction of desired movie data, processing according to the flowchart of FIG. 6 is started.

  First, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the introduction of a telop has been instructed by the user's key operation of the operation unit 8 (step S1). If it is determined that the introduction of the telop is not instructed (“NO” in step S1), the CPU 20 reads out the desired movie data instructed from the display data area E3 of the storage unit 11, processes it, and displays it on the display unit 12. Is started (reproduction is started) (step S5).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the introduction of the telop has been instructed by the user (“Yes” in step S1), the CPU 20 accepts a telop introduction operation via the user operation unit 8 (step S2, FIG. H), see FIG. Then, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the introduction of the telop is successful (step S3), and when it is determined that the introduction of the telop is not successful (“No” in step S3), the telop is not introduced and the operation unit The movie is played back via 8 (step S5).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the introduction of the telop is successful (“Yes” in step S3), the control unit 13 performs the telop introduction control process (see step S4, FIG. 8), and then the operation unit 8 The movie is played back via (step S5).

  The determination in step S3 is that the introduction process is interrupted by an external event during the introduction of the telop. For example, when installed, the installation will not be successful due to telephone reception or user cancellation.

  During the telop introduction operation in step S2, after selecting a telop place (medium in which desired telop data is stored), the extension of the telop file in the designated place is determined and is not supported by the mobile phone 18. If the file is not included in the telop list, it is determined that the introduction is successful.

  Then, the CPU 20 determines whether to add a telop when playing back the movie (step S6). That is, it is determined whether or not the telop introduction control processing in step S4 has been performed. When it is determined that the telop introduction control process is not performed and no telop is added (“No” in step S6), only the movie is reproduced on the display unit 12 through the operation control of the control unit 13 (step S8).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the telop introduction control process has been performed and the telop is to be added (“Yes” in step S6), the control unit 13 executes the telop reproduction control process (see step S7, FIG. 9). . Therefore, it is possible to add a telop to the movie to be played in real time.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the introduction (step S2) of the rop explained in FIGS. Referring to FIG. 7, first, the user operates operation unit 8 to select a place for storing a telop file (memory 21 or memory card 9 of the main body) (step S9), and based on the subsequent operation of operation unit 8 by the user. Then, it is determined whether or not there is a telop file to be introduced in the selected place (step S10). When it is determined that there is no telop file to be introduced (“None” in step S10), the telop introduction operation ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a telop file to be introduced (“Yes” in step S10), the CPU 20 selects the telop file by operating the operation unit 8 (step S11). It is determined whether or not to execute the telop setting based on the operation of the operation unit 8 (step S12). If it is determined not to execute the telop setting (“No” in step S12), the preset data DA is set in the telop data display or character modification attribute data of the selected telop file (step S13). The telop introduction operation ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the telop setting is to be performed (“Yes” in step S12), the CPU 20 executes the telop setting based on the user instruction via the operation unit 8 (step S14, FIG. 5E to FIG. 5). When the setting is completed, the telop introduction operation ends.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a telop introduction control process. Referring to FIG. 8, CPU 20 recognizes information (eg, file name, file storage location (in this case, storage unit 11), size, etc.) of telop file Fi introduced in step S2 (step S15), Based on the recognized information, the telop file area E1 of the storage unit 11 is searched, the introduced telop file Fi is read, the telop content TC of the telop data TD of the read telop file Fi, the reproduction start time TS of the telop, and the reproduction The end time TE is analyzed (step S16), and the analysis content 111 indicating the analysis result is stored in the buffer area BE of the storage unit 11 (step S17).

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the telop reproduction control process. Referring to FIG. 9, when a telop is introduced and movie playback is started based on an instruction via operation unit 8, timer 23 is activated by control unit 13 to start timing and control time data to control unit 13 (step S18). The CPU 20 compares the time data input from the timer 23 with the time of the reproduction start time TS indicated by the analysis content 11 of the buffer area BE, and determines whether or not both times match (step S19). When it is determined that the time data does not match (does not reach) the time of the telop reproduction start time TS (“No” in step S19), the operation control in step S19 is looped.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the time data matches (has reached) the playback start time TS of the telop (“Yes” in step S19), the CPU 20 reads the analysis content 111 (telop data from the buffer area BE of the storage unit 11). The TD's telop content TC, telop playback start time TS and playback end time TE information) are read (step S20), and display processing based on the telop data TD is executed based on the read information (step S21, FIG. 10). See).

  When the telop display processing is completed, it is determined based on whether or not the next telop data TD is present with reference to the analysis content 111 based on whether or not the mark EOF is read (step S22). If the mark EOF is not read and the next telop data TD to be displayed is read (“Yes” in step S22), the process returns to step S19 and the subsequent processes are similarly performed on the telop data TD.

  On the other hand, when the mark EOF is read and it is determined that the telop display based on all the telop data TD of the telop file Fi has been completed (“None” in step S22), the timer 23 is reset and the contents of the buffer area 111 are reset. Is deleted (step S23), and the telop reproduction control process ends.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the display processing of the telop. Referring to FIG. 10, CPU 20 reads analysis contents 111 (information of telop contents TC, reproduction start time TS of telop, and reproduction end time TE) from buffer area BE, and determines whether or not the information is recognizable ( Step S24). If it is determined that it cannot be recognized (“No” in step S24), the telop display processing ends. In step S24, the rationality of the information is determined. For example, when the reproduction start time TS exceeds the reproduction end time TE, it is irrational, and it is determined that the telop reproduction cannot be performed, that is, it cannot be recognized.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the CPU 20 recognizes the information (“Yes” in step S24), the moving image interlocking control process is executed (step S25), the telop control process is executed (step S26), and then from the timer 23, The time indicated by the input time data is compared with the reproduction end time TE of the telop, and it is determined whether or not the two times coincide (step S27). When it is determined that the two times do not match and the telop playback end time TE has not been reached (“No” in step S27), the telop content TC is rendered in accordance with the associated attribute data ATi (step S28), and thereafter When the determination control in step S27 is executed again, that is, when it is determined that the time data of the timer 23 does not reach the reproduction end time TE of the telop (“No” in step S27), the above-described operation control (steps S27 and S28). ).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the playback end time TE of the telop is reached (“Yes” in step S27), the telop drawing is ended on the display unit 12 (step S29), and the telop display processing is ended.

  A specific example in which a user introduces a telop using the mobile phone 18 will be described below.

  Assume that a telop file desired by the user (for example, a telop file having a file name: movsub.txt) has already been stored in the telop file area E1 of the storage unit 11 through the method shown in FIG.

  The telop file movsub.txt is similar to the telop data TD in which the playback start point TS, playback end point, and telop content TC indicate [1], [5], and [Good morning], respectively, [8], [12], is assumed to contain title data TD indicating the respective [Hi]. Here, the former telop data TD is referred to as telop data TD1, and the latter is referred to as telop data TD2.

  First, the user selects a movie (for example, movie.3gp) to be played back on the operation unit 8, presses “Menu” on the playback screen, presses “Edit” from the playback menu, and FIG. 5A is displayed. Next, the telop file movsub.txt is introduced as described with reference to FIGS.

  The CPU 20 recognizes the information of the introduced telop file, reads the telop file movsub.txt stored in the storage unit 11 based on the recognized information, analyzes the information of the telop contents, the reproduction start point and the end point of the telop, The analysis content 111 indicating the analyzed information is stored in the buffer area BE of the storage unit 11.

  The user operates the operation unit 8 to return to the movie playback screen and presses “play” from the playback menu to start movie playback. The control unit 13 activates the timer 23 and starts measuring the elapsed playback time. When the time data of the timer 23 indicates the time of the reproduction start time TS of the first telop data TD1, the CPU 20 reads the information of the telop data TD1 from the buffer area BE of the storage unit 11, and based on the read information, A telop display process is executed in accordance with the attribute data ATi. On the display unit 12, "Good morning" is displayed together with the movie. Thereafter, when the time data of the timer 23 coincides (reaches) with the reproduction end time TE of the first telop data TD, the “Good morning” telop disappears from the screen of the display unit 12. Since the CPU 20 determines that the next telop data TD2 exists based on the analysis contents 111, the reproduction control process for the next telop is performed.

  When the time data of the timer 23 matches (reaches) the time indicated by the reproduction start time TS of the second telop data TD2, the CPU 20 reads and reads the information of the telop data TD2 from the buffer area BE of the storage unit 11. Based on the information, telop display processing is executed according to the related attribute data ATi. In the display section 12, "Hello" is displayed along with the movie. Then, time data of the timer 23 is equal to the reproduction end time TE of ticker data TD2 of the second (reaching) time, "Hello" disappears. The CPU 20 determines that there is no next telop data TD based on the analysis content 111, resets the timer 23, erases the analysis content 111 stored in the buffer area BE of the storage unit 11, and ends the telop reproduction control process. To do.

  Thereafter, when the playback end point of the movie movie.3gp is reached, the playback of the movie to which the telop is added is also ended.

  When a telop is displayed together with an image of a playback movie, the data processing unit 27 of FIG. 4 is given movie data in which data such as characters indicated by the telop content TC is superimposed from the control unit 13. The control unit 13 determines a time period for superimposing the telop content TC based on the reproduction start time TS and the reproduction end time TE. Further, the display data of the telop content TC is determined so that the display mode conforms to the attribute data ATi of the telop content TC such as the character color. Since the data processing unit 27 provides the X driver 26 and the Y driver 25 with a signal according to the movie data on which the display data of the telop content TC is superimposed, the X driver 25 and the Y driver 26 provide a voltage signal based on the given signal. Applied to the liquid crystal array of the LCD 24. As a result, the LCD 24 displays a movie in which the telop content TC is superimposed in a display mode according to the attribute data ATi.
