Abstract

According to one embodiment, there is provided a video display apparatus, including: a display controller configured to cause a display module to display a moving image distributed from a video hosting site, the moving image having a first URI; and a URI output module configured to output a second URI different from the first URI, upon receiving a URI transmission request during display of the moving image.

Claims

1. A video display apparatus, comprising:

a display controller configured to cause a display module to display a moving image distributed from a video hosting site, the moving image having a first URI; and

a URI output module configured to output a second URI different from the first URI, upon receiving a URI transmission request during display of the moving image.

2. The apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the second URI corresponds to a page introducing a video content in the video hosting site.

3. The apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the second URI corresponds to a page where writing on a shared moving image is allowed.

4. The apparatus of claim 1,

wherein the URI transmission request is outputted from another apparatus, and

wherein the URI output module outputs the second URI in response to the URI transmission request.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

a URI receiver configured to receive a URI of a video hosting site, the video hosting side providing a first moving image with plural screen size formats; and

a specifying module configured to specify at least one of the screen size formats with which the first moving image is to be outputted, based on the URI of the video hosting site,

wherein the first moving image is displayed with the specified moving image output format.

6. The apparatus of claim 5,

wherein the received video hosting site includes information about a relevant video hosting site different from the video hosting site, the relevant video hosting site providing a second moving image relevant to the first moving image.

7. The apparatus of claim 5, further comprising:

a URI recorder configured to record, during display of the first moving image, the URI of the video hosting site corresponding to the first moving image.

8. The apparatus of claim 5, further comprising:

a URI recorder configured to record, during display of the first moving image, the URI of the video hosting site corresponding to the first moving image,

wherein the recorded URI is outputted, upon receiving a URI transmission request outputted from another apparatus.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising;

the display module.

10. A video display method, comprising:

displaying, on a display module, a moving image distributed from a video hosting site, the moving image having a first URI; and

outputting a second URI different from the first URI, upon receiving a URI transmission request during display of the moving image.
