Abstract

There is provided an information processing device including a display control unit that controls display of a display screen containing a content display area and a subtitles display area, and an operation recognition unit that, when a first operation on the subtitles display area is detected, recognizes that an operation to perform second processing is performed, the second processing being different from first processing performed when the first operation on the content display area is detected.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An information processing device comprising:
a display control unit that is configured to control display of a display screen containing a content display area and a subtitles display area; and
an operation recognition unit that, in an event a first operation on the subtitles display area is detected, is configured to recognize that an operation to perform second processing is performed, the second processing being different from first processing performed in an event the first operation on the content display area is detected,
wherein the display control unit is further configured to start animation in which a background of the subtitles display area moves in a direction showing a playback direction of the content, in an event the first operation on the subtitles display area is detected.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first operation is a drag operation, and
wherein the second processing is change processing of a playback speed.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in an event, the first operation on the subtitles display area is detected, the display control unit is configured to start the animation of the background of the subtitles display area, wherein the background moves in a direction showing the playback direction of the content.

4. An information processing device comprising:
a display control unit that is configured to control display of a display screen containing a content display area and a subtitles display area; and
an operation recognition unit that, in an event a first operation on the subtitles display area is detected, is configured to recognize that an operation to perform second processing is performed, the second processing being different from first processing performed in an event the first operation on the content display area is detected,
wherein the second processing is change processing to change a playback speed of content, and
wherein, in an event the first operation on the subtitles display area is detected, the display control unit is further configured to start animation in which a background of the subtitles display area moves in a direction showing a playback direction of the content.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the background of the subtitles display area has a pattern attached thereto.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first processing is seeking processing of the content.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display control unit is configured to cause the subtitles display area to display subtitles text after a cursor indicating a current playback position being superimposed thereon.

8. An information processing method comprising:
controlling display of a display screen containing a content display area and a subtitles display area; and
in an event a first operation on the subtitles display area is detected,
recognizing that an operation to perform second processing is performed, the second processing being different from first processing performed in an event the first operation on the content display area is detected, and
starting animation in which a background of the subtitles display area moves in a direction showing a playback direction of the content.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, a set of computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to perform steps comprising:
controlling display of a display screen containing a content display area and a subtitles display area; and
in an event a first operation on the subtitles display area is detected,
recognizing that an operation to perform second processing is performed, the second processing being different from first processing performed in an event the first operation on the content display area is detected, and
starting animation in which a background of the subtitles display area moves in a direction showing a playback direction of the content displayed on the content display area.
