Abstract

An information processing apparatus comprising that includes a reproduction unit to reproduce video content comprising a plurality of frames; a memory to store a table including object identification information identifying an object image, and frame identification information identifying a frame of the plurality of frames that includes the object image; and a processor to extract the frame including the object image from the video content and generate display data of a reduced image corresponding to the frame for display.

Claims (52)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a reproduction unit configured to reproduce video content comprising a plurality of frames;

a memory configured to store object identification information identifying an object image, a keyword corresponding to the object identification information, frame identification information identifying a frame of the plurality of frames that includes the object image, and information indicating a number of times the object image is included in the frame;

a processor configured to

extract the frame including the object image from the video content; and

generate display data including a reduced image corresponding to the frame for display and additional information indicating the number of times the object image is included in the frame.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a user interface configured to receive a user selection corresponding to the object image.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to detect the object image corresponding to the object identification information from the frame when the video content is reproduced.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to generate a progress bar displaying a total playback time and a playback progress of the video content.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to populate the progress bar with a predetermined mark correlating the reduced image with the progress bar based on playback time information of the frame.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a user interface configured to receive a selection corresponding to the reduced image, wherein said processor is configured to move a reproduction position of the video content to a reproduction position of the frame corresponding to the selected reduced image.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to detect the object image from each of the plurality of frames of the video content during reproduction to generate the object identification information identifying the object image, frame identification information identifying each of the plurality of frames that include the object image, and information indicating a number of times the object image is included in each of the plurality of frames that include the object image.

8. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a user interface configured to display an object detection window displaying a plurality of object images for selection, and receive an input corresponding to one of the plurality of displayed object images, wherein

the processor is configured to extract a frame from the plurality of frames including the selected object image, and generate the display data including said reduced image from the extracted frame and indicating a number of times the object image is included in each of the plurality of frames that include the object image.

9. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to extract, of a plurality of frames including the object image, a single frame representative of the plurality of frames over a predetermined time period to generate the display data.

10. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the processor is configured to extract, of a plurality of frames including the object image, a frame at a time of a scene change occurring from the video content to generate the display data.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium including computer program instructions, which when executed by an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to perform a method comprising:

reproducing video content comprising a plurality of frames;

storing object identification information identifying an object image, a keyword corresponding to the object identification information, frame identification information identifying a frame of the plurality of frames that includes the object image, and information indicating a number of times the object image is included in the frame;

extracting the frame including the object image from the video content; and

generating display data including a reduced image corresponding to the frame for display and additional information indicating the number of times the object image is included in the frame.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, at a user interface of the information processing apparatus, a selection corresponding to the object image.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 11 , further comprising:

detecting the object image corresponding to the object identification information from the frame when the video content is reproduced.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 11 , further comprising:

generating and displaying a progress bar indicating a total playback time and a playback progress of the video content.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 14 , further comprising:

populating the progress bar with a predetermined mark correlating the reduced image with the progress bar based on playback time information of the frame.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving a selection corresponding to the reduced image; and

moving a reproduction position of the video content to a reproduction position of the frame corresponding to the selected reduced image.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 11 , further comprising:

displaying an object detection window including a plurality of object images for selection;

receiving an input corresponding to one of the plurality of displayed object images;

extracting a frame from the plurality of frames including the selected object image; and

generating the display data including said reduced image from the extracted frame and indicating a number of times the selected object image is included in the frame.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 11 , further comprising:

extracting, of a plurality of frames including the object image, a single frame representative of the plurality of frames over a predetermined time period to generate the display data.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 11 , further comprising:

extracting, of a plurality of frames including the object image, a frame at a time of a scene change occurring from the video content to generate the display data.

20. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the object identification information is linked with address book data indicating a name or face image registered in the address book data.
