Patent ID: 8787466

Claim:
A video playback device comprising: a video acquisition part to acquire a first video data encoded at a first frame rate, the first video data containing multiple frame sequences each including a frame holding both of information about a background image and information about a moving object image, and second frames each holding information about position of the moving object image in itself but not holding information about the background image; a video data generation part to generate, based on the first video data acquired by the video acquisition part, a second video data to be played back at a second frame rate lower than the first frame rate; and a video display part to display video based on the second video data generated by the video data generation part, wherein the video data generation part includes: a computing part to compute, with respect to each of three contiguous frames in the first video content, a position of a virtual moving object image that is situated in between a first and a second moving object images in each of two contiguous frames in the three contiguous frames as a half of a motion of the first moving object image and a half of a motion of the second moving object image; and a frame image creating part to create, with respect to each position of the virtual moving object image computed by the computing part, a frame image containing the background image and the moving object image placed in the computed position, the frame image being a component of the second video data.
