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 video processing technique which enables users to effectively watch highlight scenes while listening to audio part thereof in a short period of time is disclosed. Upon input of video data, highlight scene data describing therein a highlight scene(s) in the video data is input or generated. Then, based this highlight scene data, determine a default playback parameter. Control is provided to reproduce the highlight scene(s) of the video data in a way such that when inputting a parameter for determination of a playback scene(s), this input playback parameter is used while giving thereto higher priority than the default playback parameter.

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.

摘要:
There is provided a broadcast program recording/playback apparatus that starts playback of a recorded broadcast program from a desired scene, so that a user can specify a precise position of a desired scene in a recorded broadcast program and start playback. The apparatus comprises a recording control unit and a playback control unit. The playback control unit obtains information for feature data belonging to a referential feature frame and a relative time difference between the feature frame and an objective frame including the desired scene as position specifying data for determining the desired scene position. The playback control unit searches for the feature frame having the feature data from recorded broadcast program data, determines the objective frame position by adding the relative time difference to the position of the feature frame searched out, and controls to start playback from the determined objective frame position.
