A video playback apparatus includes a thumbnail creating unit for creating thumbnail image data for a video file, and a user operation unit for receiving an instruction from a user. The thumbnail creating unit divides a total playback duration time T of the video file into 2^n intervals and creates the thumbnail image data from the first frame of each of the divided intervals. The thumbnail creating unit then supplies the created thumbnail image data to an image displaying unit to display thumbnail images. Upon the user operation unit receiving a first predetermined operation, the thumbnail creating unit increments the value n by 1 to increase the number of thumbnail images. Upon the user operation unit receiving a second predetermined operation, the thumbnail creating unit decrements the value n by 1 to decrease the number of thumbnail image.

A music content playback apparatus includes: a selection section that selects a piece of music content out of a plurality of pieces of music content; a recognition section that recognizes playback elapse state about a previous piece of music content played immediately before the piece of music content is selected; and a playback section that plays back the selected piece of music content from a playback point corresponding to the playback elapse state.
摘要:
A method of retrieving and selecting content includes the steps of detecting a motion tempo of a user; determining whether a time during which the detected motion tempo is continuously outside a threshold range of the motion tempo corresponding to content being played back exceeds a waiting time that is set or calculated; and retrieving and selecting content suitable for the motion tempo of the user if the motion tempo of the user is outside the threshold range for a time period longer than the waiting time.
