Signal processing device
View Patent ↗The present signal processing device includes an operating unit, an editing database, a conflict detection unit and a conflict display unit. The operating unit is configured to output a plurality of pieces of editing result information and a single or plurality of editing IDs identifying pieces of result information in association with each other. The editing database holds the plurality of pieces of editing result information and the single or plurality of editing IDs in association with each other. The conflict detection unit detects a difference between or differences among the plurality of pieces of editing result information associated with the same editing ID as a single or plurality of conflict states based on the plurality of pieces of editing result information and the single or plurality of editing IDs to be obtained from the editing database. The conflict display unit displays the single or plurality of conflict states.
1. A signal processing device, comprising:
an operating unit configured to output a plurality of pieces of editing result information and at least one editing ID,
the pieces of editing result information being edited results of a set of signal data, each piece of editing result information including a playlist,
each playlist including a reproduction duration,
the at least one editing ID indicating the pieces of editing result information are a result of an edit to the set of signal data, and identifying associations between the pieces of editing result information;
an editing database configured to store the pieces of editing result information and the at least one editing ID, and associate corresponding editing result information with the at least one editing ID;
a conflict detection unit configured to:
detect one or more differences between the pieces of editing result information associated with a single editing ID based on the pieces of editing result information and the one or more editing IDs obtained from the editing database,
detect the one or more differences if no common reproduction duration exists between playlists, and
identify each of the one or more differences as one or more conflict states; and
a conflict display unit configured to display the one or more conflict states detected by the conflict detection unit.
2. The signal processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an operation input unit configured to input an operation of a user regarding conflict resolution judgment; and
a conflict resolution unit configured to update at least one of the pieces of editing result information, the update based on the input into the operation input unit, and update the display by the conflict display unit.
3. The signal processing device according to claim 2 , wherein:
the conflict resolution unit is further configured to set at least one of the pieces of editing result information as basic editing result information, and automatically update the editing result information with priority on the basic editing result information.
4. The signal processing device according to claim 2 , wherein:
the conflict resolution unit is configured to automatically update the editing result information based on elements overlapping among the pieces of editing result information.
5. The signal processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a material database configured to hold one or more sets of signal data and one or more material IDs, the material IDs identifying the associations between the one or more sets of signal data, and
each piece of editing result information is a playlist including the one or more material IDs and a reproduction duration, each playlist formed by a reproduction element, and the reproduction duration is a duration in which the one or more material IDs would be reproduced.
6. The signal processing device according to claim 5 , wherein:
the operating unit further includes an editing unit configured to edit the editing result information based on an input by a user, and
the conflict resolution unit is configured to update the editing result information in the editing database every time an editing operation of the editing unit is executed.
7. The signal processing device according to claim 5 , wherein:
the conflict detection unit is further configured to detect matching values among corresponding reproduction elements in different playlists, and detect overlapping among corresponding reproduction elements in the different playlists.
