## Abstract

Method for displaying multimedia content, electronic device for performing same, and recording medium in which program for executing same is recorded are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for displaying multimedia content comprises acquiring multimedia content including video data which is reproduced as a video, and slide data including a key scene which is matched with event time point in a reproduction time period of the video data and is displayed in a slideshow manner, acquiring a text data corresponding to the multimedia content, displaying the multimedia content in a first area according to a video mode for reproducing the video data as the video or a slideshow mode for displaying the key scene in the slideshow manner, displaying at least a portion of the text data in a second area; and adjusting the displayed text data according to the displayed multimedia content.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for displaying multimedia content using a key scene image, the method comprising:
providing a first screen including a first area and a second area in a first mode,
wherein a list associated with the multimedia content is provided in the first area, the list including at least two bookmarked information,
wherein each of the at least two bookmarked information comprises a key scene image related to the multimedia content and further comprises a bookmarked time regarding the key scene image, and a summary text describing a scene including the key scene image,
wherein a bar associated with the multimedia content is provided in the second area which is different from the first area,
wherein at least two bookmarked indicators are provided on the bar, and
wherein each of the at least two bookmarked indicators corresponds to each of the at least two bookmarked information and a position of the at least two bookmarked indicators displayed on the bar is determined by the bookmarked time of the bookmarked information;
receiving a user input;
in response to the received user input, selecting one bookmarked information from the list; and
providing a second screen including a third area in a second mode; and
displaying the multimedia from a time corresponding to the selected bookmarked information, wherein the multimedia is displayed in the third area.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the user input is received through the first area in which the list is provided, not through the second area in which the bar is provided.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the list provided in the first screen is not displayed in the second screen.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first mode is a slideshow mode and the second mode is a display mode.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the list is scrollable in the first area.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the list is page-shifted in the first area.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the list is diminished according to a user input.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the list is generated by a user or a content provider providing the multimedia content.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the bookmarked time is earlier than a reproducing time of the key scene image.

### Claim 10

A method for displaying multimedia content comprising:
acquiring a multimedia content and at least two still images associated with the multimedia content,
wherein the multimedia content includes a video data which is reproduced as a video, and
wherein each of the at least two still images is a reproduced image of an image frame of the video data and represents each of at least two key scenes included in the video data;
acquiring a subtitle data associated with the multimedia content;
acquiring at least two summary texts related to the at least two key scenes, each of the at least two summary texts describing each of the at least two key scenes;
acquiring at least two event times related to the at least two key scenes;
displaying the multimedia content in a first area according to a video mode for reproducing the video data as the video;
displaying the subtitle data in a second area where the second area is included in the first area;
displaying the at least two still images in a third area in a still image display mode wherein the third area is different from the first and the second area;
displaying the at least two summary texts in a fourth area wherein the fourth area is different from the first, the second and the third area;
displaying the at least two event times related to the at least two key scenes in a fifth area;
receiving a user input for selecting one event time from the at least two event times displayed in the fifth area while displaying the at least two still images in the still image display mode; and
changing the display mode from the still image display mode to the video mode and displaying the video data from the selected event time by skipping the video data prior to the selected event time.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10,
wherein a reproducing time of the still image is different from the event time displayed in the fifth area.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10,
wherein the at least two still images include a first still image and a second still image that is next to the first still image,
wherein the at least two event times include a first event time corresponding to the first still image and a second event time corresponding to the second image, and
wherein a reproducing time of the first still image is later than the first event time and is earlier than the second event time.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10,
wherein the user input is received via at least one of the fifth area and the fourth area.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)
