摘要:
In a video recorder, closed caption sentence data is outputted by analyzing digital broadcasting data including closed caption information. Index data is generated on the basis of a feature extraction rule and the effectiveness of an appearing keyword by analyzing closed caption sentence data. Closed caption feature data including a type of a closed caption sentence and a display time is generated by analyzing a closed caption ES (Elementary Stream). The broadcasting data is stored as record data, the closed caption feature data is analyzed, chapter data for reproducing a program is generated by a chapter designated by the user, and the chapter data is outputted to a storage. In the case of recording and reproducing the digital broadcasting program, it is possible to perform both the reproduction by the optimal index using the closed caption and the reproduction by the keyword voluntarily inputted by the user.

The present invention relates to a technique for displaying a characteristic image or scene of video data as a thumbnail so that a user can easily understand the contents of the video data. Video data is inputted, the data describing an important scene in the video data is inputted or generated, and a thumbnail of the important scene indicated in the important scene data is generated. The inputted video data is reproduced, the reproduced video and the thumbnail are displayed, and the important scene in the video data is displayed in a thumbnail. Alternatively, an image at an arbitrary position of the important scene or at the beginning or at a position where an audio data power is at its peak is made a thumbnail image and a thumbnail image is generated from the important scene in the video data for display.

A motion picture recording/reproducing apparatus for embodying the technique includes, at least, a motion picture data input unit which inputs the motion picture data, a storage unit which stores the motion picture data, a recording unit which stores the motion picture data in the storage unit, a feature generating unit which generates a feature of the motion picture data, a ranking generating unit which provides ranking of scenes in the motion picture data according to their importance levels, a reproduction scene deciding unit which decides a reproduction image for each of the scenes in the motion picture data, and a category acquiring unit which acquires the category of the motion picture data. The ranking generating unit provides ranking of the scenes in the input motion picture data on the basis of the acquired category.

A video playback apparatus includes: video data inputting unit; a ranking data inputting/generating unit that inputs or generates ranking data where scenes in video data are ranked according to importance; a playback scene determination parameter inputting unit that inputs parameters when determining scenes to be played back according to importance; a playback scene determining unit that determines playback scenes based on ranking data and playback scene determination parameters; and a display unit that displays playback scenes. A viewing time of video data that the user desires and a maximum time width of each playback scene are inputted to the playback scene determination parameter inputting unit, and the playback scene determining unit cuts scenes so that the playback time of the playback scenes fits the maximum time width, and determines the playback scenes so that the sum of the playback time of the playback scenes fits within the viewing time.

A video data display board, device or method for inputting and displaying video data including vertical blanking interval data containing character data and other image data than the vertical blanking interval data. The video data display device has a data transfer circuit capable of transferring both of the data to devices different from each other, so that the processing of character information and image data are performed by using the different devices which perform an appropriate process according to the property of the data. The processed character and image data are displayed on a graphic display screen simultaneously.

Methods and apparatus for processing data representing multiple image sequences, e.g., TV programs, and displaying multiple images from different video sequences in different windows of a single display screen are disclosed. The amount of system resources required to process and display the image data are a function of the size of the windows in which the images are displayed. In accordance with the present invention demand for system resources is assessed and compared to the amount of available system resources. If the demand for system resources will exceed the available system resources, the size of one or more of the windows used to display secondary images, e.g., the small PIP windows, is reduced to reduce the burden, e.g., processing or bus bandwidth burden, on one or more system resources. In one embodiment, the system suggests a set of window sizes to the user which will allow for the decoding and display of programs without exceeding the available system resources. The user can accept or modify the suggested program window sizes. When the user input results in the use of window sizes that will result in a demand for system resources that exceeds the available resources, data corresponding to inter-coded frames is ignored and/or decoding and display of secondary images is limited to images with significant scene changes.

It is provided a movie recommendation system comprising a log holding unit a movie information input unit including a movie basic information input unit and a movie extended information input unit, and a recommendation calculation unit including a simple recommendation calculation unit and an extended recommendation calculation unit. The movie recommendation system compares the number of the operation logs held in the log holding unit and a predetermined value, calculates the recommendation movies by the simple recommendation calculation unit in a case where it is determined that a small number of operation logs are held in the log holding unit, and calculates the recommendation movies by the extended recommendation calculation unit in a case where it is determined that a large number of operation logs are held in the log holding unit.

A reproducing apparatus is provided. According to that reproducing apparatus, separately provided sound data and motion picture data coincide with each other in reproducing start timing with smaller discrepancy than the conventional techniques. The reproducing apparatus 1 synchronously reproduces separately provided motion picture data and sound data, comprising a motion picture reproducing unit 40 and a sound reproducing unit 50. The motion picture reproducing unit 50 includes a motion picture decoder 42 which decodes the motion picture data and a display control unit 44 which converts the motion picture data decoded by the motion picture decoder into an image signal for a display unit, to output the image signal to the display unit 60. The sound reproducing unit 50 includes a sound decoder 52 which decodes the sound data, a PCM data buffer 53 which stores the sound data decoded by the sound decoder 52, and a digital-analog converter 54 which converts the decoded sound data stored in the data buffer into a sound signal for a speaker, to output the sound signal to the speaker 71.
