Abstract

A video playback device includes a processor that executes a procedure. The procedure includes: for each of plural videos, receiving designations of positions in display regions of the videos; and adjusting a placement position in the display regions of the plural videos such that the positions designated for each of the plural videos are aligned at the same position in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction.

Claims (25)

1. A non-transitory recording medium storing a video playback program that causes a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

displaying a plurality of videos separately in a plurality of display regions, respectively, each of the plurality of videos including control information for controlling a display position and a display size of a display region for the each of the plurality of videos within the screen;

for each of the displayed plurality of videos, receiving a user-designated position indicating a horizontal position or a vertical position within a frame in each of the displayed plurality of videos in each of the plurality of display regions; and

adjusting, by updating the control information of the plurality of videos according to the received user-designated position, a placement position of at least one of the plurality of display regions to line up the plurality of display regions to be at the same horizontal position for the user-designated position indicating the horizontal position in each of the plurality of display regions or at the same vertical position for the user-designated position indicating the vertical position in each of the plurality of display regions.

2. The non-transitory recording medium of claim 1 , wherein, in the process, the user-designated position in each of the plurality of display regions is received during playback of each of the plurality of videos in each of the plurality of display regions, respectively.

3. The non-transitory recording medium of claim 1 , wherein, in the process, adjusting the placement position includes adjusting a vertical direction position or a horizontal direction position of the at least one of the plurality of display regions, and displaying the plurality of videos in a superimposed state.

4. The non-transitory recording medium of claim 1 , wherein, in the process, adjusting the placement position includes displaying the plurality of videos in a superimposed state such that the at least one of the plurality of display regions is offset from an original position of the at least one of the plurality of display regions by a specific distance in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction.

5. The non-transitory recording medium of claim 1 , wherein the process further comprises storing, in a storage section, information related to the placement position adjusted for the at least one of the plurality of display regions.

6. A video playback device, comprising:

a processor configured to execute a process, the process comprising:

displaying a plurality of videos separately in a plurality of display regions, respectively, each of the plurality of videos including control information for controlling a display position and a display size of a display region for the each of the plurality of videos within the screen;

for each of the displayed plurality of videos, receiving a user-designated position indicating a horizontal position or a vertical position within a frame in each of the displayed plurality of videos in each of the plurality of display regions; and

adjusting, by updating the control information of the plurality of videos according to the received user-designated position, a placement position of at least one of the plurality of display regions to line up the plurality of display regions to be at the same horizontal position for the user-designated position indicating the horizontal position in each of the plurality of display regions or at the same vertical position for the user-designated position indicating the vertical position in each of the plurality of display regions.

7. The video playback device of claim 6 , wherein, in the process, the user-designated position in each of the plurality of display regions is received during playback of each of the plurality of videos in each of the plurality of display regions, respectively.

8. The video playback device of claim 6 , wherein, in the process, adjusting the placement position includes adjusting a vertical direction position or a horizontal direction position of the at least one of the plurality of display regions, and displaying the plurality of videos in a superimposed state.

9. The video playback device of claim 6 , wherein, in the process, adjusting the placement position includes displaying the plurality of videos in a superimposed state such that the at least one of the plurality of display regions is offset from an original position of the at least one of the plurality of display regions by a specific distance in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction.

10. The video playback device of claim 6 , wherein the process further comprises storing, in a storage section, information related to the placement position adjusted for the at least one of the plurality of display regions.

11. A video playback method, comprising:

displaying a plurality of videos separately in a plurality of display regions, respectively, each of the plurality of videos including control information for controlling a display position and a display size of a display region for the each of the plurality of videos within the screen;

for each of the displayed plurality of videos, receiving a user-designated position indicating a horizontal position or a vertical position within a frame in each of the displayed plurality of videos in each of the plurality of display regions; and

by a processor, adjusting, by updating the control information of the plurality of videos according to the received user-designated position, a placement position of at least one of the plurality of display regions to line up the plurality of display regions to be at the same horizontal position for the user-designated position indicating the horizontal position in each of the plurality of display regions or at the same vertical position for the user-designated position indicating the vertical position in each of the plurality of display regions.

12. The video playback method of claim 11 , wherein, in the process, the user-designated position in each of the plurality of display regions is received during playback of each of the plurality of videos in each of the plurality of display regions, respectively.

13. The video playback method of claim 11 , wherein, in the process, adjusting the placement position includes adjusting a vertical direction position or a horizontal direction position of the at least one of the plurality of display regions, and displaying the plurality of videos in a superimposed state.

14. The video playback method of claim 11 , wherein, in the process, adjusting the placement position includes displaying the plurality of videos in a superimposed state such that the at least one of the plurality of display regions is offset from an original position of the at least one of the plurality of display regions by a specific distance in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction.

15. The video playback method of claim 11 , wherein the process further comprises storing, in a storage section, information related to the placement position adjusted for the at least one of the plurality of display regions.
