PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for providing an advertising moving picture capable of easily producing an advertising moving picture adapting to himself or herself in the Internet environment inexpensively. SOLUTION: A user browses a list of various moving picture clips which are prepared in advance and directly selects moving picture clips suitable for his or her commodity advertisement to arrange the moving picture clips, thereafter inputs caption texts to correspond to the respective moving picture clips, and combines the moving picture clips with background music pieces. All users are allowed to borrow advertising moving pictures that are created by other users and modify some portions of the advertising moving pictures to suit themselves, and thereby can simply and easily create an advertising moving picture. In addition, a user having generated an advertising moving picture using contents registered by himself or herself settles a part of expense paid by himself or herself, and a user having generated an advertising moving picture by using an advertising moving picture registered by another user settles a part of expense paid by the user for the producer of the borrowed advertising moving picture, whereby various contents can be secured, and the generation of the advertising moving picture can be activated.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To highly reliably set an importance for subsidiary contents prepared by secondarily utilizing contents. SOLUTION: By utilizing directly utilized content information specifying what is the directly utilized contents which are the additional information of the subsidiary contents and are directly and secondarily utilized contents when preparing the subsidiary contents, the importance based on generation relation with other subsidiary contents is set. The subsidiary contents are the secondary creation utilizing other contents as an editing material, and the relation of secondary utilization can be viewed as the generation relation. On the basis of the generation relation peculiar to the relation of the secondary utilization, the highly reliable importance can be obtained. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable simple generation of motion picture data having effective production by musical instruments or effectors. SOLUTION: A template file previously defines a material frame allowing a still picture or a motion picture to be inserted, an effect for the image, a BGM as musical instrument to be piped during the reproduction of the image, images and a transition as a switching system between the images, according to a time code. A motion picture generating apparatus analyzes meta-data for each of the material frames of the template file selected by a user, also analyzes meta-data of an image retained by the user, and inserts an image having matched meta-data into the material frame of the template file. This apparatus is applicable to, for example, an information processing apparatus that executes processing for the generation of motion pictures. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contents distribution system which distributes the contents, in such a way that a user does not feel uncomfortable when a scene changes from a program to a commercial (CM). SOLUTION: The system receives a contents request information from a user terminal and searches for the stream data of programs and CM according to a key word included in the contents request information for extracting specific stream data. When the extracted stream data of a program is connected with the extracted stream data of a CM, a transition effect is added to the connection. Then, the connected stream data is distributed to the terminal of the user. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
