Method and apparatus for multi-playing videos

摘要

A method of multi-playing videos in an apparatus having a first decoder for decoding a video and a controller for controlling the decoder includes determining, by the controller, whether the first decoder is in use, generating video clips by decoding a video by the controller as a second decoder if the first decoder is in use, storing video clips in a storage unit, and simultaneously playing video clips stored in the storage unit in response to detection of a preview request event.

主权项

1. A method of multi-playing videos in an apparatus having a first decoder for decoding a video having a given playback duration, and a controller, the method comprising:
determining, by the controller, whether the first decoder is decoding the video; if the first decoder is decoding the video, generating video clips from the video, each video clip being a continuous temporal portion of the video, by decoding and reducing the video using the controller as a second decoder; storing the decoded and reduced video clips in a storage unit separately from the video; and simultaneously playing the decoded and reduced video clips stored in the storage unit without decoding time in response to detection of a preview request event.
