Content playback apparatus and content playback method
View Patent ↗According to one embodiment, a content playback apparatus which acquires desired content from a specific site accessed via a network and plays back the acquired content, comprises a determination module configured to determine, when a data input request is received from a currently accessed site, whether or not the site is at least a site included in the specific site, and a controller configured to generate, when the determination module determines that the currently accessed site is not included in the specific site, a warning that advises accordingly.
1. A content playback apparatus which accesses a specific site selected on a site selection window displaying a plurality of sites via a network to acquire desired content from the specific site and playback the acquired content, the content playback apparatus having a controller comprising:
a non-transitory storage memory;
a first control logic configured to store information of the site selection window and identification data of the specific site to be selected on the site selection window;
a second control logic configured to generate the site selection window by using the information of the site selection window;
a third control logic configured to determine, when a window indicating a data input request is displayed from a currently accessed site, whether or not the currently accessed site is at least a site included in the specific site selected on the site selection window by using the identification data;
a fourth control logic configured to generate, when the third control logic determines that the currently accessed site is not included in the specific site, a warning that advises accordingly, wherein the warning is executed according to a warning video display or a sound output, when the currently accessed site requests a user to input a user ID; and
a fifth control logic configured to forcibly inhibit a data input requested from a site included in a list, which is acquired in advance via the network.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the third control logic is configured to compare identification data given to the currently accessed site with identification data given to the specific site, and to determine whether or not the currently accessed site is at least the site included in the specific site.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the third control logic is configured to compare a domain name included in a URL of the currently accessed site with a domain name included in a URL of the specific site, and to determine whether or not the currently accessed site is at least the site included in the specific site.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to generate, when the third control logic determines that the currently accessed site is not at least the site included in the specific site, the warning that advises accordingly by a video display and an audio output.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to generate, when the third control logic determines that the currently accessed site is not at least the site included in the specific site, a warning which additionally video-displays a message that advises accordingly in a text input window requested by the currently accessed site.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising: a sixth control logic configured to register a site for which a warning is not generated even when a data input request is received from that site.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the fourth control logic is configured to generate, when the third control logic determines that the currently accessed site is not at least the site included in the specific site, a warning indicating that an input of personal information regarding the specific site is inhibited by at least one of a video display and a sound output.
8. A content playback apparatus which accesses a specific site selected on a site selection window displaying a plurality of sites via a network to acquire desired content from the specific site and playback the acquired content, the content playback apparatus having a controller comprising:
a non-transitory storage memory;
a first control logic configured to store in the non-transitory storage memory information of the site selection window and identification data of the specific site to be selected on the site selection window;
a second control logic configured to generate the site selection window by using the information of the site selection window;
a third control logic configured to determine, when a window is displayed that requires a data input on a currently accessed site, whether or not the currently accessed site is at least a site included in the specific site selected on the site selection window by using the identification data;
a fourth control logic configured to generate, when the third control logic determines that the currently accessed site is not included in the specific site, a warning indicating that a data input is inhibited, and wherein the warning is executed by a warning video display or a sound output, when the currently accessed site requests a user to input a user ID; and
a fifth control logic configured to forcibly inhibit a data input requested from a site included in a list, which is acquired in advance via the network.
9. A content playback method which accesses by a content playback apparatus a specific site selected on a site selection window displaying a plurality of sites via a network to acquire desired content from the specific site and playback the acquired content, wherein the content playback apparatus having a controller, the method comprising:
generating by a second control logic included in the controller the site selection window by using the information of the site selection window stored by a first control logic, wherein the controller includes a non-transitory storage memory and the first control logic configured to store in the non-transitory storage memory information of the site selection window and identification data of the specific site to be selected on the site selection window;
determining, by a third control logic included in the controller, when a window requiring a data input is displayed from a currently accessed site, whether or not the currently accessed site is at least a site included in the specific site selected on the site selection window by using the identification data; and
generating, when it is determined by the third control logic that the currently accessed site is not included in the specific site, a warning that advises accordingly by a fourth control logic included in the controller, wherein the warning is executed according to a warning video display or a sound output, when the currently accessed site requests a user to input a user ID; and
a fifth control logic configured to forcibly inhibit a data input requested from a site included in a list, which is acquired in advance via the network.
