Abstract

An information display apparatus includes a display unit configured to display first content and a part of second content that is a moving image in an overlapping manner. The information display apparatus includes a change unit configured to change a displayed area of the second content while reproducing the second content in a case where an area in which the first content is displayed is selected by a user.

Claims

1. An information display apparatus comprising:

a display unit configured to display first content and a part of second content that is a moving image in an overlapping manner; and

a change unit configured to change a displayed area of the second content while reproducing the second content in a case where an area in which the first content is displayed is selected by a user.

2. The information display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display unit arranges and displays a part of the second content on a back face of the first content including an area transmitting background.

3. The information display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the change unit enlarges the displayed area of the second content while the area in which the first content is displayed is continued to be selected by the user.

4. The information display apparatus according to claim 3,

wherein the display unit displays an area of the second content that has the same display size as that of the area in which the first content is displayed, and

wherein the change unit returns the displayed area of the second content to a display size that is the same as that of the area in which the first content is displayed in a case where the selection is released by the user.

5. The information display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the change unit moves the first content in accordance with an operation of moving the area in which the first content is displayed and changes the area in which the second content is displayed.

6. The information display apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the change unit moves the first content without changing an area in which the first content and the second content overlap each other and changes the displayed area of the second content.

7. The information display apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the change unit moves the first content while reducing the area in which the first content and the second content overlap each other in a case where an operation of moving the first content is executed for a predetermined threshold or more.

8. The information display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the change unit changes a reproduction speed of the second content in accordance with the displayed area of the second content.

9. The information display apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the change unit reproduces the second content at a reproduction speed lower than a predetermined reproduction speed in a case where a display size of the area in which the first content is displayed and a display size of the displayed area of the second content coincide with each other and causes the reproduction speed of the second content to approach the predetermined reproduction speed as the displayed area of the second content is enlarged.

10. The information display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display unit displays the first content and the second content in an overlapping manner while reproducing the second content.

11. The information display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display unit displays the first content including an area that can transit to predetermined content when the area is selected by the user.

12. The information display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display unit displays the second content that displays an image that can transit to predetermined content when the image is selected by the user after end of the reproduction.

13. The information display apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display unit displays the first content in which information relating to the second content is arranged, and

wherein the change unit changes the information arranged in the first content in accordance with a reproduction state of the second content.

14. A distribution apparatus comprising,

a distribution unit configured to distribute second content that is a moving image, which is displayed together with first content, to a terminal apparatus together with control information,

the control information causing the terminal apparatus to execute:

displaying the first content and a part of the second content in an overlapping manner; and

changing a displayed area of the second content while reproducing the second content in a case where an area in which the first content is displayed is selected by a user.

15. An information display method executed by an information display apparatus, the information display method comprising:

displaying first content and a part of second content that is a moving image in an overlapping manner; and

changing a displayed area of the second content while reproducing the second content in a case where an area in which the first content is displayed is selected by a user.

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein a display program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

displaying first content and a part of second content that is a moving image in an overlapping manner; and

changing a displayed area of the second content while reproducing the second content in a case where an area in which the first content is displayed is selected by a user.
