Embodiments of this disclosure provide a method relating to video playing in mobile phone. The method includes: while displaying a first video in a first user interface of a first application, detecting an event for displaying a second user interface of a second application; if the second application has a higher display priority than the first application and playback of the first video is in active progress, replacing display of the first user interface of the first application with display of the second user interface of the second application on the display; generating a hover box to overlay a portion of the second user interface of the second application on the display; and continuing the playback of the first video in the hover box overlaid on the portion of the second user interface of the second application such that both the first application and the second application are performed simultaneously.

Embodiments disclosed herein are related to systems and methods for implementing a customizable compact overlay window in a display. In one embodiment, a computing system includes one or more processors and a storage device that stores computer executable instructions that can be executed by the processors to cause the computing system to perform the following. The system receives from an application running on the computing system customization parameters that define how the application is to be configured in a compact overlay window. The system generates the compact overlay window so that the compact overlay window is customizable according to the customization parameters. The system positions the compact overlay window in a portion of a display of the computing system.

Videos are to be displayed in parallel, without missing information or a decrease in efficiency in the usable display region.

The aspect ratio of the large screen of an information processing apparatus 100 is 16:9, which is compatible with a Hi-Vision video. In a case where the large screen is used in a portrait layout, if the large screen is divided into three small screens in the vertical direction, the aspect ratio of the small screens after the dividing is 9:16/3=16:9.48. With respect to the original video content at 16:9, the ratio in inches is 9/16=56.25% (the area ratio is (9/16).sup.2=31.64%). Accordingly, the usable display region can be efficiently used.

A video signal conversion method, a corresponding video signal conversion device and a display system including the video signal conversion device, by which low-resolution video signals can be converted and combined into a high-resolution video signal, such that a high-resolution image combined by low-resolution images can be displayed on an ultra-high definition display screen. The video signal conversion method includes: receiving in parallel a plurality of sub-frames divided from a low-resolution image of a video signal; performing image processing on each of the received sub-frames; and synthesizing the plurality of sub-frames after being subjected to the image processing into a high-resolution image frame and displaying the high-resolution image on a display device.

According to various examples of the present invention, an electronic device for controlling a plurality of displays can comprise: a first display for displaying a first screen; a second display for displaying a second screen; and a control unit for determining attributes of the first screen and the second screen, for determining whether to display, on a display that does not enter into an idle mode, a screen displayed on a display that enters into the idle mode in correspondence to the entry into the idle mode of either the first display or the second display, and for controlling the first display or the second display such that the first screen or the second screen is displayed thereon. In addition, various other examples are possible.

An image display system includes an image acquisition unit which acquires an image, an area setting unit which sets a plurality of viewing areas to which the image is to be assigned according to a direction of the image, an image assignment unit which assigns the image to each of the plurality of viewing areas, an operation determination unit which discriminates an operation in a first viewing area among the plurality of viewing areas each having the image assigned thereto, and a display control unit which displays the image in the first viewing area and the image in a second viewing area other than the first viewing area among the plurality of viewing areas concurrently based on a result of the discrimination by the operation determination unit.

A disclosed display method includes: projecting data of a space that includes a first display provided by a first display device to a perspective view; causing a second display device to display the perspective view on a second display; accepting a designation of a first position on the second display; converting the first position into a second position on the first display, upon detecting that the first position is inside an area that corresponds to the first display; and operating an image displayed on the first display based on the second position.

A display device includes a display area including a plurality of pixels and a plurality of scan lines connected to the plurality of pixels, and a driving circuit portion that generates a compensation data voltage to compensate for a difference in length between the plurality of scan lines to input the compensation data voltage to a pixel disposed in a first area, based on start scan line information indicating a start of the first area including scan lines of the plurality of scan lines, and end scan line information indicating an end of the first area.
