Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a data acquiring unit configured to acquire content to which metadata is attached and the metadata attached to the content, the metadata being generated from data obtained from a sensor mounted on a subject, and a display control unit configured to reflect contents of the metadata acquired by the data acquiring unit in display of the content to which the metadata acquired by the data acquiring unit is attached.

Claims (45)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:

receiving content associated with metadata and the metadata which is generated from data obtained from a sensor mounted on a subject while performing one or more contacting strikes of a sports movement; and

controlling a display of the received metadata and the received content,

wherein the content includes a time axis along which one or more indicators are provided to indicate timing of the one or more contacting strikes of the sports movement, and the time axis includes a playback position indicator positioned at a point along the time axis that corresponds to a current playback position of displaying the content, the playback position indicator being controlled to move along the time axis in association with a progression of displaying the content, and

wherein a color type or a color density of the time axis is changed depending on a type of the one or more contacting strikes of the sports movement.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the subject is an equipment used by a user performing the sports movement, and

wherein information on a situation where the equipment is used is controlled to be displayed with the content.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the metadata is controlled to be displayed so as not to overlap with a part of the content.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the content includes a plurality of people as the subject, the metadata is controlled to be displayed with the content in a manner that the metadata is associated with the respective people.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 4 ,

wherein names of the people are controlled to be displayed with the content.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 4 ,

wherein, according to the people, a color of information generated from the metadata is changed.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 4 ,

wherein lines connecting the people with the information generated from the metadata are controlled to be displayed with the content.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein when the playback position indicator is positioned at a point along the time axis corresponding to a first indicator of the one or more indicators, the metadata are controlled to be displayed as information that is associated with the first indicator and obtained at a point in time corresponding to a display location of the first indicator upon the time axis.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the activity is tennis.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the received metadata are controlled to be displayed to include hit information that indicates the type of the one or more contacting strikes.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the received metadata controlled to be displayed with the content further includes hit information that indicates contacting position or effectiveness of the one or more contacting strikes.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the received metadata controlled to be displayed with the content further includes hit information that indicates both contacting position and effectiveness of the one or more contacting strikes, the indicated effectiveness including information regarding location of contact in respect to a predefined sweet spot.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 12 ,

wherein the information regarding location of contact in respect to the predefined sweet spot includes a distance from the contacting position on the equipment to the sweet spot.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the metadata includes a time at which the data was obtained from the sensor.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the time axis includes a starting point and an end point of the content.

16. An information processing apparatus comprising:

circuitry configured to

receive content associated with metadata and the metadata which is generated from data obtained from a sensor mounted on a subject while performing one or more contacting strikes of a sports movement, and

control a display of the received metadata and the received content,

wherein the content includes a time axis along which one or more indicators are provided to indicate timing of the one or more contacting strikes of the sports movement, and the time axis includes a playback position indicator positioned at a point along the time axis that corresponds to a current playback position of displaying the content, the playback position indicator being controlled to move along the time axis in association with a progression of displaying the content, and

wherein a color type or a color density of the time axis is changed depending on a type of the one or more contacting strikes of the sports movement.

17. An information processing method comprising:

receiving content associated with metadata and the metadata which is generated from data obtained from a sensor mounted on a subject while performing one or more contacting strikes of a sports movement; and

controlling a display of the received metadata and the received content,

wherein the content includes a time axis along which one or more indicators are provided to indicate timing of the one or more contacting strikes of the sports movement, and the time axis includes a playback position indicator positioned at a point along the time axis that corresponds to a current playback position of displaying the content, the playback position indicator being controlled to move along the time axis in association with a progression of displaying the content, and

wherein a color type or a color density of the time axis is changed depending on a type of the one or more contacting strikes of the sports movement.
