Abstract

A video playback device includes a storage unit, a sound-attached video playback control unit, a pause control unit, a text display control unit and a playback restart control unit. The sound-attached video playback control unit controls to play a sound-attached video on the basis of a user operation. The pause control unit controls to pause the sound-attached video on the basis of a user operation while the sound-attached video is played. When the sound-attached video is paused, the text display control unit controls to read from the storage unit a text correlated with a sound-attached video portion including a point at which the sound-attached video is paused to display the text. The playback restart control unit controls to restart the sound-attached video from the paused point on the basis of a user operation.

the video playback device further comprises:

a text specification unit which specifies a text in the displayed list of the texts as a specific text on the basis of a user operation; and

a video-portion-for-specific-text playback control unit which controls to play a sound-attached video portion correlated with the specific text, and

the playback restart control unit restarts the sound-attached video from the paused point on the basis of a user operation after the sound-attached video portion is played by the video-portion-for-specific-text playback control unit.

3. The video playback device according to claim 2 further comprising a playback recognition mark display control unit which controls to display a mark to recognize which is played, the sound-attached video or the sound-attached video portion, when the sound-attached video is played and/or when the sound-attached video portion is played.

4. The video playback device according to claim 2 further comprising:

a video portion pause control unit which controls to pause the sound-attached video portion on the basis of a user operation while the sound-attached video portion is played by the video-portion-for-specific-text playback control unit; and

a pause recognition mark display control unit which controls to display a mark to recognize which is paused, the sound-attached video or the sound-attached video portion, when the sound-attached video is paused and/or when the sound-attached video portion is paused.

5. The video playback device according to claim 1 , wherein the text display control unit includes a text display prevention control unit which controls to prevent the text from being displayed while the sound-attached video is played.

6. The video playback device according to claim 1 , wherein the text display control unit controls to hide a displayed image of the sound-attached video played by the sound-attached video playback control unit and display the text.

7. A video playback method for a computer including: a sound-attached video storage unit in which a sound-attached video is stored; and a text storage unit in which texts for sounds of sound-attached video portions of the sound-attached video are stored in such a way as to be correlated with the respective sound-attached video portions, the video playback method comprising:

controlling to play the sound-attached video on the basis of a user operation;

controlling to pause the sound-attached video on the basis of a user operation while the sound-attached video is played;

when the sound-attached video is paused, controlling to read from the text storage unit a text correlated with a sound-attached video portion including a point at which the sound-attached video is paused; and

controlling to restart the sound-attached video from the paused point on the basis of a user operation.

8. A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a video playback program for a computer including: a sound-attached video storage unit in which a sound-attached video is stored; and a text storage unit in which texts for sounds of sound-attached video portions of the sound-attached video are stored in such a way as to be correlated with the respective sound-attached video portions,

the video playback program causing the computer to function as:

a sound-attached video playback control unit which controls to play the sound-attached video on the basis of a user operation;

a pause control unit which controls to pause the sound-attached video on the basis of a user operation while the sound-attached video is played by the sound-attached video playback control unit;

a text display control unit which, when the sound-attached video is paused by the pause control unit, controls to read from the text storage unit a text correlated with a sound-attached video portion including a point at which the sound-attached video is paused by the pause control unit so as to display the text; and

a playback restart control unit which controls to restart the sound-attached video from the paused point on the basis of a user operation.

9. A video playback control device comprising:
