  • Video playing device, video playing method, and video playing program having automatic video selections based upon user concentration
    Patent number: 8290341
    Abstract: A video playing device includes a classification unit classifying a video or a video section to be played according to a degree of user's necessary concentration on a video. A user's concentration derivation unit calculates a degree of user's concentration on the video. A video selection unit selects the video or the video section to be played based on a classification result and the degree of user's concentration on the video. A video playing unit plays the video or the video section selected by the video selection unit, and operates so as to preferentially play videos or video sections which the degree of user's concentration necessary to watch each video or video section is lower than the current degree of user's concentration.
