Content extracting device, content extracting method and program

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor that:

obtains intimacy degree information corresponding to identification information of a first person, the intimacy degree information indicating a degree of intimacy between the first person and a second person over a predetermined period of time and being calculated based on a plurality of stored images including the first person and the second person;

specifies an extraction period based on the intimacy degree information; and

extracts content in the extraction period.

2. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the intimacy degree information indicates a degree of intimacy between the first person and the second person and is calculated based on a frequency of contact between the first person and the second person.

3. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the intimacy degree information indicates a degree of intimacy between the first person and the second person, and the processor specifies the extraction period as a period during which the degree information indicates that a degree of intimacy between the first person and the second person is high.

4. The information processing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the processor identifies a third person having a high degree of intimacy with the first person and the second person during the specified extraction period.

5. The information processing apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the processor extracts content corresponding to the first, second and third persons during the specified extraction period.

6. The information processing apparatus of claim 3 , wherein processor identifies an event during the extraction period and obtains importance degree information corresponding to the event.

7. The information processing apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the processor extracts the content in the extraction period based on the importance degree information corresponding to the event.

8. The information processing apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the processor identifies a third person having a high degree of intimacy with the first person and the second person during the specified extraction period.

9. The information processing apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor extracts the content in the extraction period corresponding to the first, second and third person based on the importance degree information corresponding to the event.

10. The information processing apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the importance degree information corresponding to the event is calculated based on at least one of a date of the event, a time of the event, a location of the event, and an analysis of content associated with the event.

11. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the intimacy degree information is calculated based on contents and registration information in a social network service.

12. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the intimacy degree information is calculated based on information corresponding to a usage history of a social network service.

13. The information processing apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the intimacy degree information indicates a degree of intimacy between the first person and the second person and the information corresponding to a usage history of a social network service indicates a frequency of contact between the first person and the second person.

14. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor obtains captured image data and identifies the first person based on the obtained captured image data.

15. An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a processor of the information processing apparatus, intimacy degree information corresponding to identification information of a person, the intimacy degree information indicating a degree of intimacy between the first person and a second person over a predetermined period of time and being calculated based on a plurality of stored images including the first person and the second person;

specifying, by the processor, an extraction period based on the intimacy degree information; and

extracting, by the processor, content in the extraction period.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer program code, which when executed by an information processing apparatus, causes the information processing apparatus to perform a method comprising:

obtaining intimacy degree information corresponding to identification information of a person, the intimacy degree information indicating a degree of intimacy between the first person and a second person over a predetermined period of time and being calculated based on a plurality of stored images including the first person and the second person;

specifying an extraction period based on the intimacy degree information; and

extracting content in the extraction period.
