Abstract
A contents display system for displaying contents including video data including a plurality of video intervals and concomitant data associated with the video data includes a contents display mode determiner for determining, per video interval, a display mode for displaying video data and concomitant data included in the contents to be displayed on a display screen, and a contents arrangement unit for generating, per video interval, contents in which the video data and the concomitant data are arranged according to the display mode determined by the contents display mode determiner.

A contents display system for displaying contents including video data including a plurality of video intervals and concomitant data associated with the video data, the system comprising:
- contents display mode determining means for determining, per video interval, a display mode for displaying video image and concomitant data included in contents to be displayed on a display screen, said video image being included in said video data included in the contents to be displayed;
- and
- contents arranging means for generating, per video interval, contents in which said video image and said concomitant data are arranged according to the display mode determined by said contents display mode determining means.
A contents distribution system for distributing contents including video data including a plurality of video intervals and concomitant data associated with the video data, the system comprising:
- a user terminal;
- and
- a contents distribution server for distributing contents;
- wherein said user terminal includes contents requesting means for sending a contents distribution request through a communication network to said contents distribution server;
- and
- said contents distribution server comprises;
- contents display mode determining means for determining, per video interval, a display mode for displaying video image and concomitant data included in contents requested to be distributed on a display screen when the contents distribution request is received from said user terminal, said video image being included in said video data included in the contents requested to be distributed;
- contents arranging means for generating, per video interval, contents in which said video image and said concomitant data are arranged according to the display mode determined by said contents display mode determining means;
- and
- contents distributing means for sending the contents generated by said contents arranging means through said communication network to said user terminal.
A contents distribution server for distributing contents including video data including a plurality of video intervals and concomitant data associated with the video data, the server comprising:
- contents display mode determining means for determining, per video interval, a display mode for displaying video image and concomitant data included in requested contents on a display screen, said video image being included in said video data included in the requested contents.
A contents display method of displaying contents including video data including a plurality of video intervals and concomitant data associated with the video data, the method comprising the step of:
- determining, per video interval, a display mode for displaying video image and concomitant data included in contents to be displayed on a display screen, said video image being included in said video data included in the contents to be displayed.
The method according to claim 17, wherein said contents display mode determining step comprises the steps of:
- dividing, per display interval, the display screen into a video display area for displaying a video image included in the contents and a concomitant data display area for displaying concomitant data included in the contents;
- superimposing, per video interval, the concomitant data corresponding to the video image over the video image;
- and
- determining a process for displaying the contents to be displayed per video interval by selecting a mode for optimizing an evaluated value based on a first evaluated value of the contents when the contents to be displayed are displayed using a mode for dividing and displaying the video image and the concomitant data, and a second evaluated value of the contents when the contents are displayed using a mode for superimposing the concomitant data over the video image.
A computer readable recording medium in which a program for displaying contents including video data including a plurality of video intervals and concomitant data associated with the video data is stored, said program enabling a computer to perform the processes for:
- determining, per video interval, a display mode for displaying video image and concomitant data included in contents on a display screen, said video image being included in said video data included in the contents to be displayed;
- and
- generating, per video interval, contents in which said video image and said concomitant data are arranged according to the determined display mode.
