IMAGE OUTPUT METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18103080 titled 'IMAGE OUTPUT METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that can play a video on a display using a first application. It can also activate a second application while the video is playing and determine a specific frame of the video corresponding to the time point when the second application is activated. The device can then seek that frame and play the video using the second application, as long as the second application can seek the frame within a reference time.
- An electronic device with a display and a processor
- Can play a video using a first application
- Can obtain playback information associated with the video using the first application
- Can activate a second application while the video is playing
- Can determine the frame of the video corresponding to the time point when the second application is activated
- Can seek and play the video using the second application, if it can seek the frame within a reference time
Potential Applications
- Multi-tasking while watching videos
- Seamless transition between video playback and other applications
- Enhanced user experience for video playback
Problems Solved
- Difficulty in switching between video playback and other applications
- Inability to easily locate a specific frame in a video while using a different application
- Lack of flexibility in video playback options
Benefits
- Improved multitasking capabilities
- Enhanced user control over video playback
- More efficient and seamless video viewing experience
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes: a display; and a processor configured to: play a video on the display by using a first application, obtain playback information associated with playing the video by using the first application, activate a second application while the video is played by using the first application, determine a frame of the video corresponding to a time point at which the second application is activated, and seek the frame to play the video by using the second application, based on the second application being able to seek the frame within a reference time.
