3D SUBTITLE PROCESS DEVICE AND 3D SUBTITLE PROCESS METHOD

摘要

A 3D subtitle process device causes a 3D display device to three-dimensionally display subtitles each indicated in corresponding subtitle data, including the following units. A setting control unit controls subtitle display setting regarding a subtitle display method performed by the 3D display device. A depth correction unit corrects at least one depth information included in corresponding subtitle data, so that a subtitle that starts display earlier among the subtitles is three-dimensionally displayed to appear deeper, when the subtitle display setting instructs a change of the subtitle display method and subtitles each indicated in corresponding subtitle data are to be displayed temporally overlapping on a screen. A subtitle drawing unit generates a 3D subtitle image from the pieces of the subtitle data in which at least one depth information has been corrected, so as to cause the 3D display device to three-dimensionally display the subtitles.

主权项

1. A three-dimensional (3D) subtitle process device that causes a 3D display device to three-dimensionally display a plurality of subtitles indicated in pieces of subtitle data, the 3D subtitle process device comprising:
a setting control unit configured to control subtitle display setting regarding a subtitle display method performed by the 3D display device; a depth correction unit configured to, when the subtitle display setting instructs a change of the subtitle display method and a plurality of subtitles each indicated in a corresponding one of pieces of subtitle data are to be displayed temporally overlapping on a screen, correct at least one of pieces of depth information each included in a corresponding one of the pieces of the subtitle data, so that a subtitle that starts display earlier among the subtitles is three-dimensionally displayed to appear deeper; and a subtitle drawing unit configured to generate a 3D subtitle image from the pieces of the subtitle data in which the at least one of the pieces of the depth information has been corrected, so as to cause the 3D display device to three-dimensionally display the subtitles.
