The playback device 120 is configured to play multimedia materials. In some embodiments, the playback device 120 includes a playback device 120a and a playback device 120b. The playback device 120a is, for example, a video player (for example, a display panel). The playback device 120b is, for example, an audio player (for example, a speaker). The multimedia material is, for example, audio material, video material or a combination thereof.

In some embodiments, the playback device 120a and the playback device 120b can be integrated into a single playback device.

The processor 140 is configured to control the playback device 120 to play multimedia materials. The processor 140 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a processing chip, or other various hardware components (eg, processing circuits) having processing and control functions.

In some embodiments, the repeat playback system 100 further includes one or more input devices 160. The input device 160 is coupled to the processor 140. The input device 160 is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, a touch pad, or other various input devices. When the user operates at least one of the input devices 160 described above, the processor 140 will receive the corresponding command. Then, the processor 140 controls the playback device 120 to play the multimedia material according to the instructions.

In some embodiments, the playback device 120, the processor 140, and the input device 160 are included in a desktop computer system, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone, or other various electronic systems. The disclosure is not limited by the above.

Next, please refer to both Figure 1 and Figure 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a multimedia material according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the length of the multimedia material is T. In general, a multimedia material contains a plurality of time stamps. In some embodiments, the playback device 120 plays the multimedia material starting from the start time stamp T0. In some embodiments, when the multimedia material is played to the first time stamp T1, if the user presses the blank button once, the multimedia material will be paused. If the user presses the blank button again, the multimedia material will continue to play from the first time mark T1.

In some embodiments, the processor 140 is configured to control the playback device 120 to repeatedly play the data between the second time stamp T2 and the first time stamp T1 according to the first instruction corresponding to the first time stamp T1. The processor 140 is further configured to cancel the repeated play according to the second instruction.

For example, in the case that the multimedia material is played to the first time stamp T1, if the user presses the blank key twice (first condition) within 0.5 seconds, the processor 140 will receive the corresponding first instruction. . The processor 140 controls the playback device 120 to return to the second time stamp T2 according to the first instruction. Next, the processor 140 controls the playback device 120 to repeatedly play the data between the second time stamp T2 and the first time stamp T1. The data between the second time stamp T2 and the first time stamp T1 will continue to be repeatedly played until the user presses the blank button once (second condition). When the user presses the blank button again, the processor 140 will receive the corresponding second instruction and cancel the repeated playback operation according to the second instruction. That is to say, when the multimedia material is played to the first time stamp T1, the playback device 120 plays the data after the first time stamp T1 and does not return to the second time stamp T2.

It should be understood that although the above embodiments are exemplified by blank keys, the disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the blank key can be used by other physical buttons on the keyboard, buttons on the mouse, virtual buttons on the touch panel, and specific touch gestures on the touchpad (eg, zoom gestures or other Replaced by various gestures). In other words, the first instruction and/or the second instruction correspond to at least one input device 160. In some embodiments, the first instruction and the second instruction correspond to the same input device 160. In some other embodiments, the first instruction and the second instruction correspond to different two input devices 160, respectively.

In some embodiments, the processor 140 is configured to control the playback device 120 to repeatedly play the data between the third time stamp T3 and the first time stamp T1 according to the third instruction corresponding to the first time stamp T1. The third instruction is different from the first instruction, and the third time stamp T3 is different from the second time stamp T2.

For example, in the case that the multimedia material is played to the first time stamp T1, if the user presses the blank button three times (the third condition), the processor 140 will receive the corresponding third command. The processor 140 controls the playback device 120 to return to the third time stamp T3 according to the third instruction. Next, the processor 140 controls the playback device 120 to repeatedly play the data between the third time stamp T3 and the first time stamp T1. During the repeated play, if the user presses the blank button once, the processor 140 will receive the corresponding second command and cancel the repeated play operation according to the second command. In some embodiments, since the third time stamp T3 is different from the second time stamp T2, the length of time from the third time stamp T3 to the first time stamp T1 (eg, m seconds) is different from the second time stamp T2 to The time length of the time T1 is marked (for example: n seconds). In short, different instructions will correspond to different overlay time lengths. For example, the first instruction corresponds to n seconds and the third instruction corresponds to m seconds.

In addition, in some embodiments, when the multimedia material is repeatedly played (for example, the data between the second time stamp T2 and the first time stamp T1 is repeatedly played), if the user is played in the multimedia material When the four time stamp T4 is pressed twice within 0.5 seconds (the first condition), the processor 140 will receive the corresponding first command. In the example of the second figure, the fourth time stamp T4 is between the second time stamp T2 and the first time stamp T1. Next, the processor 140 controls the playback device 120 to return to the fifth time stamp T5 according to the first instruction, so that the playback device 120 replays the data between the second time stamp T5 and the fourth time stamp T4. Similarly, since the first instruction corresponds to n seconds, the processor 140 controls the playback device 120 to perform overwriting from the fifth time stamp T5 of the first n seconds before the fourth time stamp T4. In other words, the length of time from the fifth time stamp T5 to the fourth time stamp T4 (for example, n seconds) is equal to the length of time between the second time stamp T2 and the first time stamp T1.

Please refer to Figure 3. FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a repeated play method 300 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the repeat play method 300 is applied to the repeat play system 100 of FIG.
