Abstract
On receiving a fast-forward playback instruction from a remote-control manager, a system controller determines whether the fast-forward playback speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed and whether the display screen should be divided into sections. If it determines that the display screen should be divided, the system controller determines how many sections the screen should be divided into, in accordance with the fast-forward playback speed. The system controller informs a GUI manager that the display screen should be divided into sections, the number of which has been determined.
Claims11
An image playback apparatus comprising:
- a playback unit configured to play back encoded moving-picture data;
- a first display unit configured to display the moving-picture data played back by the playback unit, using an entire display region;
- a second display unit configured to display, in time series, parts of the moving-picture data played back by the playback unit, respectively in display sections into which the display region has been divided;
- a designating unit configured to designate a playback speed at which the playback unit should play back the moving-picture data;
- and
- a display control unit configured to control the first and second display unit so that the first display unit displays the moving-picture data in the entire display region when the designating unit designates a playback speed which is lower than a specific value, and the second display unit displays the parts of the moving-picture data in display sections, respectively, when the designating unit designates a playback speed equal to or higher than the specific value.
An image playback method comprising:
- receiving speed data representing a playback speed at which encoded moving-picture data should be played back;
- displaying the moving-picture data in an entire display region, when the playback speed represented by the speed data is lower than a specific value;
- and
- displaying parts of the moving-picture data, in time series, respectively in display sections prepared by dividing the display region, when the playback speed represented by the speed data is equal to or higher than the specific value.
