Description

Apparatus and method for displaying video content {APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING VIDEO CONTENTS}

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for displaying video content, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a control method for displaying video content in various ways according to a user's manipulation when displaying video content.

With the recent development of electronic/communication technologies, it has become possible to receive and view video content in real time in a portable wireless communication terminal.

That is, the terminal is equipped with a video player, which is an application for reproducing video content, and a user can receive and play video content from a content providing server using the video player.

In this case, a'progress bar' may be displayed on the video player to allow the user to know the time of the portion currently being played out of the total time of the video and to allow the user to directly manipulate the playback time (playback time) for the video.

An example in which the'progress bar' is displayed on the video player is illustrated in FIG. 1.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, a'progress bar' 11 is usually displayed in the lower area of the video player, and the'movement button' 12 is usually included in the progress bar 11, You can touch and drag the move button.

In the conventional video player, when the user touches and drags the move button 12 to the left/right side of the progress bar 11 and then releases the touch, the video content is played by jumping to a point in time corresponding to the touch release position. It performs the function that makes it possible.

That is, while moving the moving button 12 through touch drag, the user terminal will finally stop moving the moving button 12 when the moving button 12 is paused and the movement of the moving button 12 is terminated (ie, touch release). ) Is processed (for example, a request to a content providing server) to be played from a time point corresponding to the final position moved.

However, in the case of such a conventional user terminal (i.e., a video player provided in the user terminal), as described above, the image of the video display area 13 is displayed while the movement is performed through a touch drag on the movement button 12. For the case, the paused state is maintained, and the image of the moving image display area is changed only after the touch is released on the movement button 12, which causes user inconvenience.

For example, if the user moves the move button 12 to the left to find a specific point in time that has passed by the video that the user was watching, the video remains paused in the video display area, so it is difficult to find a specific point of time he wants. It is not easy, and only after repeating the process of "touch, drag and release" several times, you can find the specific point you want.

Furthermore, the needs of viewers who watch video content may be diverse, but the conventional simple player function alone does not satisfy the diverse needs of such viewers.

Publication Patent No. 10-2016-0053663

The present invention has been conceived to solve the above-described disadvantages of the related art, and an object thereof is to provide an apparatus for displaying video content and a control method thereof capable of displaying various content types that meet the user's needs during video content playback.

In order to achieve the above object, a content reproducing apparatus according to the present invention includes: a display unit; A user manipulation detection unit detecting whether a user touches the movement button in a basic mode state in which the video content received from the content providing server is reproduced and displayed on the content display area of the display unit with a basic progress bar including a movement button; When the user manipulation sensor detects a touch on the move button, a partial section based on the current position of the move button is selected among all play sections included in the basic progress bar, and the selected partial section is enlarged and displayed. A mode switching unit for converting one fine adjustment bar into a fine adjustment mode displaying the basic progress bar; In the fine adjustment mode state, when a drag in the fine adjustment bar with respect to the user's movement button is detected by the user manipulation detection unit, an individual image frame corresponding to the time position of the movement button moved according to the drag And a content display controller configured to display an individual image frame received from the content providing server as a still image in the content display area after transmitting the request signal to the content providing server.

In addition, in order to achieve the above object, the control method of the content playback device according to the present invention is in a basic mode state in which video content received from a content providing server is played back and displayed in a content display area together with a basic progress bar including a move button. Detecting whether a user touches the movement button; When a touch to the move button is detected in the step, a partial section based on the current position of the move button is selected among all play sections included in the basic progress bar, and the selected partial section is enlarged and displayed. Switching a bar to a fine adjustment mode for displaying a bar in place of the basic progress bar; When the user detects a drag in the fine adjustment bar with respect to the movement button in the fine adjustment mode state, an individual image frame request signal corresponding to the time position of the movement button moved according to the drag is provided to the content And displaying an individual image frame received from the content providing server as a still image in the content display area after being transmitted to the server.

As described above, according to the present invention, the viewer who is watching the video content can move the playback video point to the corresponding location by touching a specific location of the progress bar, as in the prior art, as well as a move button included in the progress bar. If you touch, the progress bar is switched to the fine adjustment bar, so you can finely adjust and check the frame conversion of the image.

In particular, in the case of entering the fine adjustment mode, the fine adjustment bar is arranged with a fine time adjustment section in the center and a double speed section on the left/right side, so that the use of a fine adjustment bar with a shorter time interval for the entire section compared to the basic progress bar. Can minimize discomfort.

In other words, by setting the left/right ends of the fine adjustment bar as the double speed section, when the move button passes the fine time adjustment section and enters the double speed section, individual video frames before or after that are played even if you do not drag any more. As it can be displayed continuously, user convenience is increased.

In addition, since images shot at the same viewpoint and at different angles can be viewed according to a user's touch operation on the display area other than the fine adjustment bar, each viewer can view video content in different views rather than watching the same video. .

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, each embodiment according to the present invention is only one example for aiding understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. In particular, the present invention may be configured with a combination of at least one or more of individual configurations, individual functions, or individual steps included in each embodiment.

In particular, for convenience, some claims in the claims include alphabets such as'(a)', but these alphabets do not prescribe the order of each step.

In addition, each signal mentioned in each embodiment according to the present invention may mean one signal transmitted by one connection or the like, but may also mean a series of signal groups transmitted for the purpose of performing a specific function to be described later. . That is, in each embodiment, a plurality of signals transmitted at a predetermined time interval or transmitted after receiving a response signal from a counterpart device may be expressed as one signal name for convenience.

A schematic configuration of an entire communication system including the content reproducing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is as shown in FIG. 2.

In the figure, the content providing server 200 has various video contents and performs a function of providing video content according to the request of the content playback device 100, and at this time, it provides the entire video content (for example, continuous streaming method). Provided), or only a specific frame (ie, individual video frame) included in the video content may be selectively provided.

Here, providing the entire video content means that continuous frames included in the video content are continuously transmitted even if there is no request for a specific frame from the content playback device 100, and the content playback device ( In response to a request for a specific image frame from 100), it means that only the requested image frame (ie, individual image frame) is extracted and provided.

For example, when there is a request for the entire video content from the content reproducing device 100, the content providing server 200 may transmit a series of video frames included in the video content even if there is no special request for each video frame. It can be transmitted to 100, and if a signal requesting a specific video frame included in the video content (i.e., an individual video request signal) is received from the content reproducing apparatus 100, the content reproducing apparatus extracts only the requested specific frame. It can be sent to (100).

In particular, the content providing server 200 may be provided with a plurality of individual image frames matched to the same viewpoint and having different photographing angles.

For example, each individual image frame photographed by a plurality of cameras at the same time and synchronized with time may be included in a single image content or distributed and included in a plurality of image content.

In this case, the content providing server 200 may provide each individual image frame matched at the same point in time but having different photographing angles according to the request of the content reproducing apparatus 100.

For example, when a view direction change request signal including specific viewpoint (time) information and angle information is received from the content playback device 100, individual image frames photographed at a specific angle at a specific viewpoint using the viewpoint information and angle information It is capable of extracting and transmitting it to the content reproducing apparatus 100. A more detailed description of this will be provided later.

Meanwhile, the content reproducing apparatus 100 plays and displays video content provided by the content providing server 200, and has a communication function such as, for example, a portable wireless communication terminal or a personal computer provided in the home. It may correspond to the equipped device.

For convenience, in this embodiment, as an example, the content playback device 100 is a mobile communication terminal such as a smartphone.

In particular, the content reproducing apparatus 100 may play video content or display only a specific video frame included in the video content in a stopped state.

An example of a specific functional block of the content reproducing apparatus 100 is a display unit 110, a user manipulation detection unit 120, a mode switching unit 130, a content display control unit 140, as shown in FIG. It may be configured to include a storage unit 150.

First, data, information, or applications required for the operation of the content playback device 100 are stored in the storage unit 150, and further, data and information generated during the operation of the content playback device 100 or received from the outside. May be additionally saved or updated.

In particular, the storage unit 150 may store corresponding information such as various set values and operation modes required during the operation of the content reproducing apparatus 100.

The display unit 110 displays image content received from the content providing server 200, and may be configured to include, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD) that consumes less power. It may correspond to a touch screen configured with the receiving touch pad.

The user manipulation detection unit 120 detects various manipulations of a user related to video content playback, and may be configured, for example, including the touch pad described above, or includes a separate input device (keyboard, mouse, etc.) It can be configured.

That is, the user manipulation detection unit 120 is capable of detecting a user's touch or drag in various modes. Here, the term'drag' means, for example, taking a touch screen as an example, while the user touches a specific object or a specific point with a finger, etc., and moves the finger while maintaining the touch, which is provided with a touch screen. Since it is widely used in one device, a more detailed description will be omitted.

However, since the present invention is not limited to a device having such a touch screen, it is obvious that touch and drag may be performed by other input devices. For example, in the case of a personal computer, the user can move the mouse pointer using the mouse and then press the mouse button to perform a function corresponding to the touch operation, and drag the mouse by moving the mouse while holding the mouse button. The function corresponding to the operation can be performed.

Looking at a specific example of the function of such a user manipulation detection unit 120, the user manipulation detection unit 120 may detect whether the user touches the movement button 105 in the basic mode state, where the basic mode state This means a state in which the video content received from the content providing server 200 together with the basic progress bar 102 including the move button 105 is being reproduced and displayed on the content display area 101 of the display unit 110. .

That is, a state in which a user (i.e., a video viewer) is playing and viewing a predetermined video content received from the content providing server 200 through his or her content reproducing device 100 may be referred to as a basic mode state. The basic progress bar 102 may be displayed on the display unit 110 together with the image content.

Here, the basic progress bar 102 corresponds to the conventional'progress bar' described in FIG. 1, and may be displayed on the lower area of the display unit 110 and includes a'move button 105'. That is, the movement button 105 in the basic progress bar 102 can gradually move from left to right as the video content progresses, and the area from the first left to the movement button 105 in the basic progress bar 102 is colored. Alternatively, the brightness may be changed so that the viewer can visually know that the video content has been reproduced accordingly. Since the display method of the basic progress bar 102 itself corresponds to a known technology, a more detailed description will be omitted. .

In addition, the content display area 101 is an area in which a player or the like reproduces and displays an image on the display unit, and in this embodiment, it is distinguished from the area in which the basic progress bar 102 or the fine adjustment bar 103 is displayed. I assume.

In the basic mode state, the user can touch and drag the movement button 105 in the progress bar or touch and drag the remaining areas except the movement button 105 in the basic progress bar 102. The manipulation detection unit 120 performs a function of detecting various touch manipulations or drag manipulations of the user.

A more detailed description of the processing process according to the user's touch manipulation will be described later.

The basic progress bar 102 may be temporarily displayed along with the image content on the display according to the user's selection.

When the user manipulation detection unit 120 detects a touch on the movement button 105 in the basic progress bar 102 of the user in the basic mode state, the mode switching unit 130 includes all of the basic progress bar 102. In the play section, a partial section based on the current position of the move button 105 is selected, and a fine adjustment bar 103 that enlarges the selected section is displayed by replacing the basic progress bar 102. It performs the function of switching to'fine adjustment mode'.

Here, the time range corresponding to the entire fine adjustment bar may be smaller than the time range corresponding to the entire basic progress bar.

For example, the basic progress bar 102 may indicate the total time of the currently played video content as in the prior art. When the mode switching unit 130 switches to the fine adjustment mode according to a predetermined condition, the basic Among the entire video play section included in the progress bar 102 (for example, a 60-minute section), some sections based on the current location (for example, a 20-minute location) of the move button 105 (for example, a 19-minute to 21-minute section) ), and converts to a so-called'fine adjustment mode' that displays an enlarged display of the selected partial section (for example, 19 minutes to 21 minutes) by replacing the basic progress bar 102 Performs the function of

That is, according to the above-described example, the basic progress bar 102 and the fine adjustment bar 103 may have the same size, but the basic progress bar 102 is a time period of 0 minutes to 60 minutes of the video content. On the other hand, the fine adjustment bar 103 represents a time interval of 19 minutes to 21 minutes of the video content.

Fig. 4 is a diagram showing this situation.

The upper image 111 of FIG. 4 is an image showing a state in which the basic progress bar 102 is displayed in the basic mode state, and the lower image 112 of FIG. 4 is a movement button 105 of the basic progress bar 102 This is an image showing a state that is switched to the fine adjustment mode as the user touches.

At this time, it can be seen that the narrow section of the basic progress bar 102 is enlarged to become the fine adjustment bar 103.

That is, as mentioned in the previous example, the mode switching unit 130 includes a period of 19 minutes to 21 minutes among the intervals of the basic progress bar 102 having a total time interval of 0 minutes to 60 minutes. It is possible to make the entire section.

Meanwhile, in this state, the mode switching unit 130 may switch to the basic mode state when the user manipulation detection unit 120 detects the release of the touch to the moving button 105 in the fine adjustment mode state.

Meanwhile, as shown in Fig. 5(a), the central region of the fine adjustment bar 103 is a fine time adjustment section 103b, and a predetermined region at the left/right ends of the fine adjustment bar 103 is double speed sections 103a and 103c. ), which will be described in more detail later.

When switching from the basic mode to the fine adjustment mode, the mode switching unit 130 may allow the movement button 105 to be disposed at the center of the fine adjustment bar 103.

That is, as in the above-described example, if the fine adjustment bar 103 represents 19 minutes to 21 minutes of the playback time of the video content, the mode switching unit 130 indicates that the move button 105 corresponds to the playback time of 20 minutes. It can be placed in the center.

The above-described fine adjustment mode state can be maintained while the user's touch to the movement button 105 continues. Therefore, in the following description of an embodiment of the present invention, if the user is referred to as a "fine adjustment mode state" It is assumed that the touch to (105) is maintained (regardless of whether you are just touching or dragging).

On the other hand, the content display control unit 140 moves according to the drag when a drag in the fine adjustment bar 103 for the user's movement button 105 is detected by the user manipulation detection unit 120 in the fine adjustment mode state. An individual image frame request signal corresponding to the time position of the moving button 105 to be transmitted may be transmitted to the content providing server 200.

For example, the fine adjustment bar 103 is separately shown in FIG. 5, but it is assumed that the user moved the movement button 105 as shown in FIG. 5(b) in the state of the fine adjustment bar 103 as shown in FIG. 5(a). Assuming, the position of the move button 105 of the fine adjustment bar 103 of FIG. 5(a) corresponds to a position where the playback time is 20 minutes, and the position of the move button 105 of FIG. 5(b) is the position of the playback time. It is assumed that this is the case (20 minutes + 1/30 seconds).

In this embodiment, if the video content is a 30 frame video having 30 frames per second, the content display control unit 140 moves the move button 105 from the state of FIG. 5 (a) to the state of FIG. 5 (b). It is possible to request the content providing server 200 to transmit a frame (ie, the above-described individual video frame) corresponding to the playback time (20 minutes + 1/30 seconds).

At this time, the video frame requested by the content display control unit 140 to the content providing server 200 corresponds to the first video frame after 20 minutes.

This process may be performed throughout the movement of the movement button 105.

That is, when the user keeps moving the move button 105 of FIG. 5(b) to the right to reach a position corresponding to (20 minutes + 2/30 seconds), the content display control unit 140 It is possible to request the content providing server 200 to transmit a video frame corresponding to +2/30 seconds (that is, the second video frame after 20 minutes). In this way, when the user moves the move button 105 to the right, the content display control unit 140 allows the user to move the move button 105 to the left, similar to a request for transmission of a future image frame based on the current time point. In the case of moving, transmission of an image frame in the past may be requested based on the current view.

When an individual video frame is received from the content providing server 200 according to the above-described individual video frame request signal, the content display device displays the received individual video frame as a still image on the content display area 101.

Here, displaying a still image means that an individual image frame of the content display area 101 of the display unit 110 is not replaced with another individual image frame unless there is an additional drag operation by the user.

When the user continues to move (drag) the move button 105, the content display control unit 140 continuously transmits an individual image frame request signal corresponding to the moved position to the content providing server 200 to create a new individual image. Since frames are received and displayed, the user can easily check each image frame included in the image content only by moving the move button 105.

In particular, as described above, the fine adjustment bar 103 generally represents a shorter time (for example, 19 minutes to 21 minutes) than the basic progress bar 102, so that the user can check each individual image frame by pressing a move button ( There is no need to move the 105) finely, increasing the convenience of operation.

For example, if the total time interval of the fine adjustment bar 103 is 0 to 60 minutes, after checking the individual video frames of (20 minutes + 1/30), individual video frames of (20 minutes + 2/30 seconds) In the case of wanting to check, it is possible only to move the movement button 105 of the fine adjustment bar 103 very finely, but as described above, the fine adjustment bar 103 has a partial section of the basic progress bar 102 enlarged. Because it is a state, such problems and inconveniences can be prevented.

In addition, as mentioned in the description with reference to Fig. 5(a), the central area of the fine adjustment bar 103 is the fine time adjustment section 103b, and the left/right predetermined area of the fine adjustment bar 103 is a double speed section ( 103a, 103c), and the content display control unit 140 includes the above-described process, that is, individual image frames corresponding to the position in the time when the move button 105 is located in the fine time adjustment section 103b. The request signal is transmitted to the content providing server 200 to display an individual image frame received from the content providing server 200 as a still image in the content display area 101, whereas the move button 105 is in the double speed section ( 103a, 103c), after determining the double speed corresponding to the current location of the move button 105, transmits a double speed transmission request signal to the content providing server 200, and transmits the multiple speed transmission request signal to the content providing server 200. The individual video frames may be displayed as double-speed playback images corresponding to the double-speed determined prior to the content display area 101.

Here, displaying the double-speed playback image means that the content of the display unit 110 is displayed even when the movement button 105 is stopped at a specific position (ie, a specific position of the double-speed section 103a, 103c) without the user's additional drag operation. It means to change and display individual video frames in the region 101 at a specific speed.

For example, the total time of the fine time adjustment section 103b is 19 minutes to 21 minutes, and the position of the double speed section 103c reached by the move button 105 past the fine time adjustment section 103b is predefined '1' In the case of the'double speed' position, the content display control unit 140 performs an individual video frame after 21 minutes (i.e., (21 minutes+1/30 seconds) frame, (21 minutes+2/30 seconds) frame, (21 minutes+3) /30 seconds) frames, (21 minutes + 4/30 seconds) frames, etc.) are sequentially requested and received, and each individual video frame received is sequentially received at a speed of a preset standard speed (i.e., 1x speed). It is displayed on the content display area 101.

Similarly, the move button 105 passed the '1x speed' position of the double speed section 103c and reached the predefined '2x speed' position, and an individual video frame displayed as a 1x playback image at that time is at the time of 22 minutes playback. If applicable, the content display control unit 140 is the individual video frame after that, that is, (22 minutes + 1/30 seconds) frame, (22 minutes + 2/30 seconds) frame, (22 minutes + 3/) 30 seconds) frames, (22 minutes + 4/30 seconds) frames, etc. are sequentially requested and received, and each received individual video frame is twice as fast as a preset standard speed (i.e., double speed). It is to sequentially display on the content display area 101. For example, when 1x is 30 frames, displaying individual video frames at 2x means displaying 60 individual video frames received from the content providing server 200 in 1 second.

In the above example, in performing the processing for a specific double speed, the content display control unit 140 requests and receives consecutive individual video frames from the content providing server 200, but processes the display speed according to the specific double speed as an example. , The display speed may be the same, but individual image frames requested from the content providing server 200 may be spaced at a predetermined interval.

For example, as in the above-described example, the movement button 105 passes the '1x speed' position of the double speed section 103c and reaches the predefined '2x speed' position, and is displayed as a 1x playback image at that time. If the frame corresponds to the 22-minute playback time point, the content display control unit 140 determines the subsequent individual video frames, i.e., (22 minutes+1/30 seconds) frame, (22 minutes+3/30 seconds) frame. , (22 minutes + 5/30 seconds) frames, (22 minutes + 7/30 seconds) frames, etc., only the odd-numbered frames are sequentially requested and received, and each of the received individual video frames is at a standard double speed (i.e., 1 It can also be displayed on the content display area 101 sequentially at a speed of double speed).

In this case, when only the odd-numbered or even-numbered individual video frames are requested, received, and displayed, the effect of processing at the last double speed can be achieved.

The above-described embodiment describes an example of using the right double speed section 103c, and when the move button 105 is positioned in the left double speed section 103a, the previous individual video frame (past video frame) is processed to be displayed. Of course, the description of the speed is the same.

In the above-described embodiment, as an example, the image frame is reproduced at a double speed corresponding to the point at which the move button 105 is located in the double speed section 103a, 103c, but the move button 105 is within the double speed section 103a, 103c. It goes without saying that the video frame may be played at a double speed corresponding to the speed moved in

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the center area of the fine adjustment bar is a fine time adjustment section, and the left/right predetermined regions of the fine adjustment bar are composed of a double-speed playback section, but here, the left/right schedule of the fine adjustment bar The region may be composed of a reproduction section.

That is, when the move button 105 is located in the fine time adjustment section, the content display control unit 140 displays an individual image frame received from the content providing server 200 as a still image in the content display area as described above. On the other hand, when the move button 105 is located in the playback section, a playback request signal is transmitted to the content providing server 200, and a plurality of individual video frames received from the content providing server 200 are played in the content display area. It can be displayed as an image.

That is, when the move button 105 is located in the playback section, the content display control unit 140 requests continuous individual video frames from the content providing server 200 to receive from the content providing server 200 even if there is no user's special manipulation. It is possible to display a video by playing back individual video frames.

On the other hand, the above-described user manipulation detection unit 120 can detect whether the user has an additional touch or drag in a preset area other than the area where the fine adjustment bar 103 is displayed in the fine adjustment mode state. When the sensing unit 120 detects an additional touch and drag on the movement button 105, the content display control unit 140 determines an angle corresponding to the current position according to the additional touch and drag, and the determined angle After transmitting the view direction change request signal corresponding to the content providing server 200, an individual image frame with a changed shooting angle received from the content providing server 200 can be displayed as a still image on the content display area 101. have.

An example of a display screen for this processing is shown in FIG. 6.

For example, in a state in which the user is touching the move button 105 of the fine adjustment bar 103 with a finger (that is, in this state, an individual image frame corresponding to the touch position is displayed as a still image) When the content display area 101 other than the fine adjustment bar 103 is touched and then dragged, the content display control unit 140 determines a predefined angle according to the dragged distance from the touch position, and It transmits a view direction change request signal corresponding to the angle to the content providing server 200. Accordingly, a new individual image frame corresponding to the angle included in the view direction change request signal is received from the content providing server 200, and the content display control unit 140 displays the individual image frame with the received shooting angle changed in the content display area. It is to display as a still image at (101).

This process may be continuously processed as the moving distance of the additional drag is changed.

For example, when a user drags to the right after an additional touch, an individual image frame photographed by a camera installed at an angle of 10 degrees from the front, followed by an individual image frame photographed by a camera installed at an angle of 20 degrees, and then As a result, individual image frames captured by a camera installed at an angle of 30 degrees may be displayed in order on the content display area 101.

This means that the viewer can easily see the image whose view direction is changed with respect to the still image at the same viewpoint by dragging.

For example, in a golf tournament, a golf swing pose at a specific point in time of a specific player can be viewed from various angles using the above-described user's additional touch and drag.

At this time, the content display control unit 140 sets a separate camera position display area 107, and stores the position of the camera 108 corresponding to the angle determined according to the user's additional touch and drag in the camera position display area 107. You can also display it. That is, in the camera location display area 107, a dynamically changing image in which the location of the camera 108 changes according to an additional touch and drag of a user may be displayed.

Of course, such a camera location display area 107 always occupies an area of the display unit 110 at the time of switching to the fine adjustment mode even if there is no user manipulation, and even in the basic mode, and It is also possible for the viewer to know at what angle the frame was taken by the camera 108.

On the other hand, as described above, when the user releases the touch to the move button 105 in the fine adjustment mode state, it is switched back to the basic mode state, and the content display control unit 140 is switched back to the basic mode state as described above. An individual image frame currently being displayed in the fine adjustment mode state may be processed for reproduction.

For example, when the content display control unit 140 switches back to the basic mode state, the image content is controlled to be paused in the individual image frame being displayed in the fine adjustment mode state, or is displayed in the fine adjustment mode state. It can be processed to start playback from individual video frames that existed.

For example, if an individual video frame corresponding to (20 minutes + 2/30 seconds) was displayed when the touch was released, the content display control unit 140 processes to be played starting from the frame or paused at the frame. After that, when a user's request for playback is detected, playback can be started.

On the other hand, the content display control unit 140 performs content processing in the basic Morse state as well as the fine adjustment mode state. Specifically, in the basic mode state, the content display control unit 140 covers the remaining areas except for the move button 105 in the basic progress bar 102. When a user's touch is detected by the user manipulation detection unit 120, the content display control unit 140 moves the movement button 105 to a position within the touched basic progress bar 102 and corresponds to the video content. It can be played by performing a section jump to the playback time corresponding to the touched time position.

Hereinafter, a control process of the content reproducing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

First, when the user touches the move button 105 in the basic progress bar 102 while the video content received from the content providing server 200 is being played and displayed as shown in FIG. 7(a), the content playback device While switching to the fine adjustment mode, 100 converts the basic progress bar 102 into a fine adjustment bar 103 as shown in FIG. 7(b).

In this case, the content reproducing apparatus 100 makes a partial section in time of the basic progress bar 102 become an entire section in time of the fine adjustment bar 103.

The user can move the movement button 105 within the fine adjustment bar 103 as shown in FIG. 7(c) in a state that is switched to the fine adjustment mode (that is, a state in which the touch to the movement button 105 is maintained). However, the content reproducing apparatus 100 requests and receives an individual image frame corresponding to the moved position of the move button 105 to the content providing server 200 and then displays it. This process is performed by the user's move button 105 ) Can be continued while the touch drag continues.

That is, each time the user moves the movement button 105 to the left/right side within the fine adjustment bar 103, individual image frames of the present or past can be viewed sequentially.

When dragging the movement button 105 is stopped at a specific position in the fine adjustment bar 103 as shown in FIG. 7(d), an individual image frame is displayed as a still image.

When the user releases the touch on the move button 105 in the fine adjustment bar 103 in the state as shown in FIG. 7(d), the content playback device 100 switches to the basic mode as shown in FIG. The adjustment bar 103 is processed to change to the basic progress bar 102.

In addition, the image content can maintain the display state of the individual image frame that was last displayed as a still image in FIG. 7(d), which can be said to be a state in which the individual image frame is paused.

Therefore, when the user presses the play button, the play can be performed from the paused time point.

Meanwhile, it goes without saying that the process of performing each of the above-described embodiments may be performed by a program or application stored in a predetermined recording medium (eg, computer-readable). Here, the recording medium includes all of an electronic recording medium such as a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic recording medium such as a hard disk, and an optical recording medium such as a compact disk (CD).
