Abstract

A playback system includes a display device and an information terminal adapted to communicate with the display device. The information terminal includes a processor and a recording medium storing instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a process including displaying a first group of identification information items of content data stored in the information terminal in a first viewing area of a display screen, and displaying a second group of identification information items of the content data selected according to a selecting operation performed on the first group of identification information items displayed in the first viewing area in a second viewing area of the display screen at different times. The display device is adapted to play back the content data corresponding to the selected identification information items.

Claims

1. A playback system including a display device and an information terminal adapted to communicate with the display device, the information terminal including a processor and a recording medium storing instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a process comprising:

displaying a first group of identification information items of content data stored in the information terminal in a first viewing area of a display screen; and

displaying a second group of identification information items of the content data, selected according to a selecting operation performed on the first group of identification information items displayed in the first viewing area, in a second viewing area of the display screen at different times; and

the display device being adapted to play back the content data corresponding to the selected identification information items.

2. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing instructions which when executed by a processor of an information terminal, adapted to communicate with a display device, cause the processor to perform a process comprising:

displaying a first group of identification information items of content data stored in the information terminal in a first viewing area of a display screen; and

displaying a second group of identification information items of the content data, selected according to a selecting operation performed on the first group of identification information items displayed in the first viewing area, in a second viewing area of the display screen at different times.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 2, wherein the displaying the second group includes displaying in the second viewing area the selected identification information items in a sequence of selection of the identification information items from the first viewing area.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 2, wherein the process further comprises:

storing the second group of identification information items displayed in the second viewing area in the displaying the second group into a storage part;

wherein the displaying the second group includes;

reading the second group of identification information items from the storage part upon starting of execution of the instructions; and

displaying the second group of identification information items read from the storage part in the second viewing area.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 2, wherein the displaying the first group includes displaying in the first viewing area identification information items, among the first group of identification information items of the stored content data, which are classified into a group specified by a user'"'"'s display instruction.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 2, wherein the displaying the first group includes displaying in the first viewing area identification information items, among the first group of identification information items of the stored content data, which are moved to be viewed in the first viewing area according to a user'"'"'s display instruction.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 2, wherein the process further comprising:

transmitting the content data corresponding to the selected identification information items to the display device by the information terminal.

8. A playback control method for use in a playback system including a display device and an information terminal adapted to communicate with the display device, the method comprising:

displaying by the information terminal a first group of identification information items of content data stored in the information terminal in a first viewing area of a display screen;

displaying by the information terminal a second group of identification information items of the content data, selected according to a selecting operation performed on the first group of identification information items displayed in the first viewing area, in a second viewing area of the display screen at different times; and

playing back the content data corresponding to the selected identification information items by the display device.
