Abstract

An information processing device is provided with: an image meaning judgment section classifying and judging an inputted image as having a particular meaning by classifying characteristics of the image itself and referring to a database; an audio meaning judgment section classifying and judging an inputted audio as having a particular meaning by classifying characteristics of the audio itself and referring to a database; and an association control section outputting the inputted image and the inputted audio acquired at different timings mutually in association with each other on the basis of each of judgment results of the image meaning judgment section and the audio meaning judgment section; and the information processing device is capable of, even if an image without a corresponding audio or an audio without a corresponding image is inputted, outputting the image and the audio in association with each other.

Claims (42)

1 . An information processing device comprising:

an audio receiver for receiving an inputted audio;

an audio meaning judgment section judging a meaning of the inputted audio by referring to a database; and

a control section presenting an image related to the inputted audio on the basis of a judgment result of the image meaning judgment section, and associating the inputted audio with the image.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the database includes information on a relationship between at least one of a frequency and a temporal change of an audio and a meaning, and

the audio meaning judgment section judges a meaning of the inputted audio by at least one of the frequency and the temporal change of the inputted audio.

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

the control section presents the image related to the inputted audio by referring to an image database in which meanings and images are associated to each other.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein

the image database is created by classifying images stored in a cloud and languages accompanying the images.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising

a presentation section comprising an audio output and a display,

wherein the control section communicates with the presentation section to output the inputted audio and display the associated image together.

6 . A shooting apparatus comprising:

an image pickup device picking up an image of an object to obtain a picked-up image;

a sound recorder acquiring a sound to obtain a recorded audio;

an image database in which meanings and images are associated with each other;

an audio meaning judgment section judging a meaning of the recorded audio by referring to an audio database; and

a control section presenting an image read from the image database related to the recorded audio on the basis of a judgment result of the audio meaning judgment section, and associating the recorded audio with the image;

wherein the associated image is different from the picked-up image and is acquired separately from the recorded audio.

7 . The shooting apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the database includes information on a relationship between at least one of a frequency and a temporal change of the recorded audio and a meaning of the recorded audio, and

the audio meaning judgment section judges a meaning of the recorded audio by at least one of the frequency and the temporal change of the recorded audio.

8 . The shooting apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising

a presentation section comprising an audio output and a display,

wherein the control section communicates with the presentation section to output the recorded audio and display the associated image together.

9 . An information processing method comprising:

receiving an inputted audio by an audio receiver;

judging a meaning of the inputted audio by referring to a database;

presenting an image related to the inputted audio on the basis of a judgment result of the image meaning judgment section; and

associating the inputted audio with the image.

10 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an information processing program for causing a computer to execute:

an audio receiving step receiving an inputted audio;

an audio meaning judgment step judging a meaning of an inputted audio by referring to a database;

a control step presenting an image related to the inputted audio on the basis of a judgment result of the image meaning judgment section, and associating the inputted audio with the image.

11 . An information processing device comprising:

a recorder for recording a sound to obtain a recorded audio;

an audio meaning judgment circuit judging a meaning of the recorded audio by referring to a database;

a control circuit presenting an image related to the recorded audio on the basis of a judgment result of the image meaning judgment section and associating the recorded audio with the image; and

a display;

wherein the control circuit displays the recorded audio and associated image together.
