Video viewing apparatus, video play back control method, and recording/play back program

A video viewing apparatus comprising:

• an image module configured to image a personal video in which a viewer is imaged, the viewer watching a master video;
• an image motion period determination module configured to determine, for each of the master video and the personal video, a continuous period of frames in which an image is moving as a breakpoint of a series of operations;
• a motion characteristic amount acquisition module configured to acquire motion characteristic amounts from image motion parts of individual frames in the frame period determined as the breakpoint of the series of operations;
• a motion characteristic amount comparison module configured to compare a motion characteristic amount of the master video with that of the personal video;
• a storage module configured to store information corresponding to a frame having a large difference in motion characteristic amount revealed by the comparison;
• and
• a disclosure module configured to reproduce the frames of the master video and the personal video based on the recorded information at the time of play back and output the reproduced frames to an output module, wherein the disclosure module automatically repetitively reproduces the frame having the large difference in motion characteristic amount.

A video play back control method configured to reproduce a master video recorded in a recording medium and a personal video obtained by imaging a viewer, who is watching the master video, by an imaging module based on a processing procedure by a control module, the method comprising:

• playing back the master video and determining, for each of the master video and the personal video, a continuous period of frames in which an image is moving as a breakpoint of a series of operations;
• acquiring motion characteristic amounts from image motion parts of individual frames in the period of frames determined as a breakpoint of a series of an operation;
• comparing a motion characteristic amount of the master video with that of the personal video;
• storing information corresponding to a frame having a large difference in motion characteristic amount revealed by the comparison;
• and
• playing back the frames of the master video and the personal video based on the stored information at the time of play back and displaying the frames to a display module, wherein an image which specifies a region of the image motion part is displayed when the frame having a large difference in motion characteristic amount is reproduced.
