Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes a creation unit to combine first section data in moving image data with other content data to create a composite moving image content, a reproduction unit to reproduce the moving image data, an operation reception unit to receive a predetermined operation input by a user during reproduction of the moving image data, and a control unit to extract second section data including a reproduction position of the moving image data at a time when the predetermined operation input is received and control the creation unit so that the creation unit changes the first section data in the composite moving image content into the second section data, the second section data being different from the first section data.

Claims (57)

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

circuitry configured to:

combine a first section of a moving image with other content to create a composite moving image content;

receive an operation input by a user;

detect a current reproduction position of the composite moving image content displayed on a display when the operation input by the user is received;

newly extract a second section, that is different from the first section, from the moving image based upon an extraction position corresponding to the operation input by the user and the current reproduction position of the composite moving image content, the second section having a predetermined length; and

insert the second section from the moving image into the composite moving image content,

wherein the operation input by the user includes specifying the extraction position for extracting the second section from the moving image from a plurality of predetermined extraction positions included in a drop down menu.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

extract, as the second section, a predetermined section of the moving image, having a start point that corresponds to the current reproduction position, and

insert the predetermined section into the composite moving image so as to replace the first section in the composite moving image.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

extract, as the second section, a predetermined section of the moving image, having an end point that corresponds to the current reproduction position, and

insert the predetermined section into the composite moving image so as to replace the first section in the composite moving image.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

extract, as the second section, a predetermined section of the moving image, having a midpoint that corresponds to the current reproduction position, and

insert the predetermined section into the composite moving image so as to replace the first section in the composite moving image.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

perform frame advance of the displayed composite moving image content, and

receive the operation input by the user during the frame advance of the displayed composite moving image content.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

detect a person's face from data corresponding to the composite moving image content,

create, when the operation input by the user is received, display information that indicates entire sections of the composite moving image content that include the person's face, and

output, on the display, the display information.

7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

detect a person's voice from data corresponding to the composite moving image content,

create, when the operation input by the user is received, display information that indicates entire sections of the composite moving image content that include the person's voice, and

output, on the display, the display information.

8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

create, when the operation input by the user is received, thumbnail images of the moving image at a start point, a midpoint, and an end point of the second section, and

output, on the display, the thumbnail images.

9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to display, on the display, a current position of playback of the displayed composite moving image content.

10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the circuitry is configured to display, on the display, positions of a section in which a person's face is included and positions of a section in which a person's voice is included relative to the current position of playback of the displayed composite moving image content.

11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the circuitry is configured to display, on the display, the positions of the section in which the person's face is included and the positions of the section in which the person's voice is included in response to another operation input by the user.

12. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined length of the second section is a same length as the first section.

13. A method of changing a moving image section, comprising:

combining a first section of a moving image with other content to create a composite moving image content;

receiving an operation input by a user;

detecting a current reproduction position of the composite moving image content displayed on a display when the operation input by the user is received;

newly extracting, using circuitry, a second section, that is different from the first section, from the moving image based upon an extraction position corresponding to the operation input by the user and the current reproduction position of the composite moving image content, the second section having a predetermined length; and

insert the second section from the moving image into the composite moving image content,

wherein the operation input by the user includes specifying the extraction position for extracting the second section from the moving image from a plurality of predetermined extraction positions included in a drop down menu.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with a program to cause an electronic apparatus to execute a method comprising:

combining a first section of a moving image with other content to create a composite moving image content;

receiving an operation input by a user;

detecting a current reproduction position of the composite moving image content displayed on a display when the operation input by the user is received;

newly extracting, using circuitry, a second section, that is different from the first section, from the moving image based upon an extraction position corresponding to the operation input by the user and the current reproduction position of the composite moving image content, the second section having a predetermined length; and

insert the second section from the moving image into the composite moving image content,

wherein the operation input by the user includes specifying the extraction position for extracting the second section from the moving image from a plurality of predetermined extraction positions included in a drop down menu.

15. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a creation unit to combine a first section of a moving image with other content to create a composite moving image content;

an operation reception unit to receive an operation input by a user; and

a control unit to:

detect a current reproduction position of the composite moving image content displayed on a display when the operation input by the user is received,

newly extract a second section, that is different from the first section, from the moving image based upon an extraction position corresponding to the operation input by the user and the current reproduction position of the composite moving image content, the second section having a predetermined length, and

insert the second section from the moving image into the composite moving image content,

wherein the operation input by the user includes specifying the extraction position for extracting the second section from the moving image from a plurality of predetermined extraction positions included in a drop down menu.
