Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/120768
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A video player for limiting the view by a viewer not satisfying the view allowance condition allowing a young person to view a specific video. When a limited video viewing of which by a viewer not satisfying a view allowance condition is limited by limiting the broadcast time zone, e.g., by limiting the broadcast time zone to the midnight of when the young people are asleep is recorded, the video player (1) inhibits reproduction of the limited video in a time zone other than the time zone from the recording start time of the limited video to a predetermined time. When thumbnails indicating the recorded videos are displayed, the video player (1) does not display any thumbnail of the limited video in a time zone other than the time zone from the recording start time of the limited video to a predetermined time. Since the limited video can be reproduced only in the time zone from the originally broadcast time to a predetermined time, any viewer not satisfying the view allowance condition is prevented from viewing a limited video.
