摘要:
A content playback apparatus obtains and plays a content section from content according to an obtaining method that varies.The content playback apparatus which obtains the content section from content and plays the obtained content section includes a reference generation unit that generates a judgment reference that varies dynamically over a playback time axis of the content, and a content section obtaining unit that obtains the content section by comparing the content with the judgment reference. With this structure, the content playback apparatus is able to obtain a content section according to a method that varies.

摘要:
A playback apparatus that enables a user to acquire a desired partial content from a content. When it receives type information indicating a type of an object, the playback apparatus acquires position information indicating a playback position, which corresponds to a time at which the type information was received, in a content that was being played back then. The playback apparatus further acquires a partial content that includes an object corresponding to the type indicated by the received type information and is started from either the playback position indicated by the position information or a position in a vicinity of the playback position.
摘要:
A broadcast program recording apparatus locates a start position of a target broadcast program preset to be recorded, even if a program preceding the target broadcast program is broadcast for an extended time period. In a record/playback apparatus 100, a silence detecting unit 108 detects silent frames and calculates a segment period between detected silent frames. An index registering unit 109 judges whether a program broadcast during the segment period is a CM. If judged in the affirmative, the record/playback apparatus 100 adds the segment period to the total CM period. If judged in the negative, it is further judged whether the total CM period exceeds a threshold. On judging that the threshold is exceeded, the record/playback apparatus 100 generates an index entry composed of a content ID and the display time of a silent frame that is broadcast between the CM and a broadcast program, and stores the index entry to the index storage unit 104.

A rule storage unit 106 stores a plurality of pieces of specifying information each showing a feature of frames to be specified as start frames, and each corresponding to a different type of content. A program obtaining unit 104 obtains a content of which start frames are to be specified. An information obtaining unit 105 obtains type information showing the type of the obtained content. A selecting unit 107 obtains from the rule storage unit 106 a piece of specifying information corresponding to the obtained type information. A specifying unit 108 specifies, as the start frames, frames in the obtained content having the feature shown by the obtained piece of specifying information.

摘要:
A program recording apparatus for receiving and recording a program. The program recording apparatus includes: a receiving unit operable to receive a first program and a second program; a recording unit operable to record the received first and second programs; an acquiring unit operable to acquire a first title of the first program and a second title of the second program; an extracting unit operable to extract a first difference from the first title, and extracts a second difference from the second title, the first and second differences being respectively portions of the first and second titles and being different from each other; and a program list generating unit operable to generate a program list based on the first and second differences extracted by the extracting unit.
摘要:
A program search device is described that searches for programs using a keyword search and handles the programs found in the search by classifying the programs into special programs and regular programs. The device searches for broadcast programs corresponding to a current time from an electronic program guide, and includes a program guide storing unit that prestores an electronic program guide a keyword storing unit that prestores one or more extraction keywords and corresponding effective periods, a time obtaining unit operable to obtain a current time, a detecting unit operable to read an extraction keyword corresponding to an effective period and detect, from the electronic program guide, one or more program display information sets including the read extraction keyword, and an extracting unit operable to extract each of one or more program display information sets that indicates a regular program, or a special program.
