Claims (45)

1. A display control device comprising:

a related content acquisition unit that acquires related content that relates to predetermined video content; and

a display controller that applies control to display the related content after the predetermined video content is recorded,

wherein, in a case where a plurality of pieces of the related content that relates to the predetermined video content exists, the display controller (i) specifies a priority ranking for each of the plurality of pieces of the related content based on information used to select the predetermined video content, and (ii) applies control to display each of the plurality pieces of the related content at a position according to the priority ranking that corresponds to each of the plurality pieces of the related content.

2. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the predetermined video content is selected as a recording target according to recording selection information used to select the recording target, the related content acquisition unit acquires the related content according to the recording selection information.

3. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the predetermined video content is selected as a playback target according to playback selection information used to select the playback target, the related content acquisition unit acquires the related content according to the playback selection information.

4. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the predetermined video content is selected as a recording target according to preregistered information, the related content acquisition unit acquires the related content according to the preregistered information.

5. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the related content acquisition unit acquires the related content according to metadata of the predetermined video content.

6. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the related content acquisition unit acquires, as the related content that relates to the predetermined video content, related content that relates to video content to be played back.

7. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the related content acquisition unit acquires, as the related content that relates to the predetermined video content, related content that relates to predetermined video content recorded recently.

8. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display controller applies control to insert the related content before video content to be played back in a manner that the related content is displayed before the video content to be played back.

9. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where video content to be played back includes a predetermined video segment, the related content acquisition unit acquires a related segment that relates to the predetermined video segment, and

wherein the display controller applies control to display the related segment at a timing corresponding to a display timing of the predetermined video segment.

10. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display controller applies control to display the related content at a predetermined position on a selection screen used to select video content to be played back.

11. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display controller applies control to display the related content at a predetermined position on an operation screen for video content to be played back.

12. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the related content acquisition unit acquires related content that relates to a performer obtained as a result of conducting a predetermined recognition process on the predetermined video content.

13. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the related content acquisition unit acquires related content that relates to extracted information extracted from viewer comments regarding the predetermined video content.

14. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where advertising content included in the predetermined video content is played back by fast-forwarding, the display controller applies control to display information indicating that advertising content.

15. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display controller applies control to display advertising content included in the predetermined video content in a case where that advertising content satisfies a predetermined condition, and to skip display of that advertising content in a case where that advertising content does not satisfy the predetermined condition.

16. The display control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the display controller applies control to display the related content, and the display control device then accesses a site outside a predetermined range during playback of the predetermined video content, the display controller applies control to stop playback of the predetermined video content.

17. A recording control device comprising:

a recording controller that applies control to record predetermined video content; and

a display controller that applies control to display the predetermined video content;

wherein control is applied to display related content that relates to the predetermined video content after the predetermined video content is recorded by the recording controller, and

wherein, in a case where a plurality of pieces of the related content that relates to the predetermined video content exists, the display controller (i) specifies a priority ranking for each of the plurality of pieces of the related content based on information used to select the predetermined video content, and (ii) applies control to display each of the plurality pieces of the related content at a position according to the priority ranking that corresponds to each of the plurality pieces of the related content.

18. A display control method comprising:

acquiring related content that relates to predetermined video content; and

applying control to display the related content after the predetermined video content is recorded,

wherein, in a case where a plurality of pieces of the related content that relates to the predetermined video content exists, the applying includes (i) specifying a priority ranking for each of the plurality of pieces of the related content based on information used to select the predetermined video content, and (ii) applying control to display each of the plurality pieces of the related content at a position according to the priority ranking that corresponds to each of the plurality pieces of the related content.

19. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the information used to select the predetermined video content is a keyword or keywords such that the priority ranking specified by the display controller is based on the keyword or keywords.
