摘要:
To provide a content distribution system which inhibits execution of processing which is unnecessary for streams having specific structures. The content distribution system includes a distribution server and a playback apparatus. The distribution server transmits a program stream and a program state flag associated with the program stream that indicates whether or not program content corresponding to the program stream is constituted of only 3D video. The playback apparatus determines, prior to decoding the program stream, whether or not the program state flag indicates that the program content is constituted of only 3D video, and when determining that the program content is constituted of only 3D video, decodes the program stream and performs control so as to play back the program stream as 3D video without determining whether or not each frame included in the program stream is a 3D video frame.

A content recommendation device and a content recommendation method that recommend appropriate content with appropriate timing are provided. The content recommendation device (300) is a content recommendation device (300) which recommends content to a user as recommended content, and which includes a recommended content determining unit (330) which determines second content as the recommended content, the second content being related to first content that is at least partially viewed by the user and a recommendation timing determining unit (350) which determines a recommendation timing for presenting information of the recommended content, based on a chronological relationship between the recommended content and third content which is related to the recommended content and is currently available or will be available for viewing.

An encoding method is provided, according to which video streams obtained by compression-coding original images are contained in one transport stream. The video streams contained in the transport stream include a video stream that constitutes 2D video and video streams that constitute 3D video. When containing such video streams in the transport stream, a descriptor specifying the video streams constituting the 3D video is contained in a PMT (Programmable Map Table) of the transport stream.

To provide a video processing device capable of seamlessly displaying 3D videos and 2D videos contained in a broadcasted 3D program. A video processing device for outputting a 2D video and a 3D video includes a reception unit receiving a video stream containing video frames, the video frames including 2D video frames for a 2D video and/or 3D video frames for a 3D video; a program judgment unit judging whether the video stream received by the reception unit contains a 2D program or a 3D program; and an output unit, when the program judgment unit judges that the video stream contains the 3D program, outputting the 2D video frames contained therein in a 3D video output format, and when the program judgment unit judges that the video stream contains the 2D program, outputting the 2D video frames contained therein in a 2D video output format.

An encoding device that, when encoding frame image groups which represent scenes respectively viewed from plurality of viewpoints over predetermined time period, generates base-view video stream by encoding frame image group of standard viewpoint without using, as reference image, any frame image of other viewpoints, generates first-type dependent-view video stream by encoding frame image group of first-type viewpoint by using, as reference image, frame image of same time of base-view video stream or of another first-type dependent-view video stream, first-type viewpoint being positioned such that at least one viewpoint is present between first-type viewpoint and standard viewpoint, and generates second-type dependent-view video stream by encoding frame image group of second-type viewpoint by using, as reference images, frame images of same time of two viewpoints sandwiching second-type viewpoint, second-type viewpoint being neither standard viewpoint nor first-type viewpoint.
摘要:
To provide a content playback device capable of, when playing back a content distributed in a streaming format via a network whose view mode is selectable among a plurality of view modes, presenting to a user the switchability between the view modes, thereby to improve the user's convenience. The content playback device includes a reception unit that receives, from the content distribution system, control information indicating a plurality of view modes selectable for viewing the video content, a presentation unit that presents, to a user, the view modes as options of a view mode for viewing the video content, an input reception unit that receives an input selecting one view mode among the view modes from the user; and a request unit that requests the content distribution system to distribute the video content in the streaming format, by transmitting information indicating the selected view mode to the content distribution system.

The present invention aims to provide a video processing device allowing notifications to be made to viewers of a program without annoyances being posed thereby. A video processing device comprises a receiver receiving video information including a subject program and flag information indicating whether the video information includes type-1 guide information for making a notification when the subject program is in 3D; a determiner determining, according to received flag information, whether the user is to be notified of the type-1 guide information; and an output controller outputting a program from the received video information, outputting type-2 guide information for making the notification when the subject program is in 3D and the determiner determines that the user is not to be notified of the type-1 guide information, and preventing output of the type-2 guide information when the determiner determines that the user is to be notified of the type- guide information.
摘要:
A content distribution system capable of playing back a stream without missing out an initial frame. The content distribution system includes a distribution server and a playback apparatus. The distribution server transmits a video stream and an initial frame state flag indicating whether an initial frame of the video stream is a 3D video frame or a 2D video frame. Receiving the video stream and the initial frame state flag, the playback apparatus determines whether the initial frame is a 3D video frame or a 2D video frame by using the initial frame state flag and sets, prior to decoding the video stream, an output mode to be applied to the initial frame to a 3D output mode when the initial frame is a 3D video frame and to a 2D output mode when the initial frame is a 2D video frame.
摘要:
An electronic notification device (100) is provided which is capable of presenting, to a user, content which the user wishes to view, from a large number of pieces of content without the need for a large number of user operations. An electronic notification device (100) notifies a user whether content is available via a network, and includes a content availability checking unit (110) which obtains content availability information indicating one or more pieces of content available via the network; a specifying unit (120) which specifies one or more pieces of specific content in which a user's interest level is determined as having increased, by determining whether or not the user's interest level in the content has increased; and a notification unit (130) which notifies the user of specific content information indicating the one or more pieces of specific content specified by the specifying unit (120) among the one or more pieces of content indicated in the content availability information.
