The plurality of moving images or image data may be set such as moving images or image data to be exposed on the screen provided by the play program according to specific event information input by the user to the digital device in addition to the moving images or images to be played by the user.

For example, when a user is watching a drama through a player program and the user drags a specific event, for example, a mouse, the advertisement data to be displayed on the screen of the player program is selected and set in advance.

Meanwhile, according to the calculated size and position of the screens to be exposed, pre-selected video or image data is played on part or all of the screen of the player program (S104).

Such a method of exposing a plurality of screens in a player program according to the present invention will be described in more detail through examples.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a sequence according to an example of a plurality of screens for implementing a plurality of screen providing methods in a player program according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the plurality of screens of the player program according to the present invention as shown in step 200 are not visible to the actual user based on the video or image screen being played in the player program, that is, the main screen, but are virtually an auxiliary screen. Are located around the main screen.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the main screen is referred to as M, and the sub screens A to H are adjacent to each other, and one or more screens are virtually present around the main screen currently viewed by the player program user. Is the same as

In this state, when the user performs a predetermined event, for example, when the main screen is dragged to the upper left side as illustrated in step 202, the screen exposed to the screen of the player program is displayed according to the dragged position and direction. It becomes the E, G, and H screens that are virtually positioned with some.

In other words, it is not visually visible to the user, but the screen of the player program functions as a window and the windows are moved so that different screens are seen.

Meanwhile, the video or the image exposed through the E, G, and H screens may be preset as described above, and the number or size of the screens may be variously set.

In addition, the event for displaying the plurality of screens may be positioned to place an icon or a button at a specific position of the screen provided by the player program as well as drag or click of the mouse and drag or click.

An example in which a plurality of screens is provided in a player program according to the present invention will be described with reference to the example of FIG. 3.

As shown in the example of FIG. 3, for example, as shown in a general player program, a video being watched by a user through a player program is displayed on the main screen of the player program. Alcohol advertising is located.

In this state, when the user places the mouse on the screen of the player program and drags the mouse to the left side, some or all of the car advertisement screen is exposed and played.

Meanwhile, when the video provided through the sub screen is a video, the video may be played from the moment the screen is exposed on the screen of the player program, or the main screen may be played along with the playback of the played video.

The number and type of other screens exposed according to a specific event input by a user in the player program according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may vary.

In addition, various types of events and recognition methods for exposing such other screens are possible.

On the other hand, the plurality of screens are provided in the screen in the player program in the screen size and position corresponding to the event in accordance with the user's event, so that the user can watch a variety of videos or images through the screen of the player program and to the various auxiliary screens You may also be interested in

For example, if you watch a drama program through the player program, and sometimes want to watch a baseball game on the way, set the drama to be played on the main screen, and set the game to be played on the sub-screen to play the drama and baseball. Simultaneous viewing and the like becomes possible.

In addition, instead of simply displaying both screens, the corresponding screen is displayed on the screen of the player program according to an event performed by the user, thereby inducing user interest.

4 is a diagram illustrating a comparison of providing a plurality of screens according to a conventional screen division and providing the screen according to the present invention.

Conventionally, when playing two or more videos or images on a screen of a player program as illustrated in FIG. 4A, the screen itself is divided so that the videos or images are played on each of the divided screens.

However, in the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 4 (b), the screen of the player program acts like a window, and thus the effect of being able to see several screens by moving the window by a user's operation.

Therefore, the interest of the user can be increased as compared with the provision of a plurality of screens by the conventional simple screen division.

Meanwhile, the method of providing a plurality of screens in the player program according to the present invention may be implemented as a program and stored in a computer-readable recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.). have.

It is apparent that such a program may be included in the player program or provided separately from the player program and installed in the digital device.

The setting unit 500 sets a video or an image to be played on the sub screen by a user's input, and sets an event to expose the sub screen.

On the other hand, as described above, the event that the sub screen is exposed can be various forms, for example, a mouse drag, click the icon or button in the screen of the player program can be set.

The event detector 510 detects an event for exposing the auxiliary screen to the screen of the player program and inputs event occurrence information. As described above, the event may include not only an event performed on the player program according to the setting in the setting unit 500, but also an event performed on a digital device in which the player program is installed.

When the event occurrence information is input from the sensor 510, the screen exposure area calculator 520 calculates the exposure area of the sub screen to be exposed on the screen of the player program in response to the event.

Meanwhile, when there are a plurality of moving images or images that may be exposed, the screen exposure area calculator 520 may determine a moving image or image to be exposed according to an event and calculate an exposure area of an auxiliary screen to be exposed.

Various methods may be used to calculate the exposure position and size of the main screen and the sub screen according to an event generated by the user.

Referring to FIG. 6, an example of calculating an event occurrence according to the present invention and a position and a size at which an auxiliary screen is exposed will be described.
