Information processing device, information processing method, and information processing program

1. An information processing device comprising:

a control unit configured to store in a recording medium a piece of attribute information specified by a first user input from among a plurality of sequential pieces of the attribute information in association with a time period of a content stored in the recording medium;

an output unit configured to output the content, the output unit comprising a display screen; and

a reception unit configured to receive the first user input as a touch operation on the display screen of the output unit;

wherein:

the output unit is configured to display a slider capable of changing a display location on the display screen based on the touch operation,

the control unit is configured to store in the recording medium the piece of the attribute information specified by the display location of the slider in association with the time period of the content,

the reception unit is configured to receive a second user input specifying a range, the range encompassing one or more of the plurality of sequential pieces of attribute information,

the control unit is configured to identify, in response to the second user input specifying a range being received by the reception unit, one or more time periods of the content having associated attribute information within the specified range, and

the output unit is configured to output the identified one or more time periods of the content having associated attribute information within the specified range.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit displays as a graph a transition of the attribute information in association with the time period of the content with respect to each predetermined time period on the display unit.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the control unit changes the attribute information in association with the time period based on the user input to the graph displayed on the display unit, and stores the attribute information in the recording medium.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising a reproduction unit configured to, when the content is reproduced, reproduce only a part of the content associated with the piece of the attribute information specified by the user input based on the attribute information in association with the time period of the content.

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

an imaging unit;

wherein the output unit outputs a moving image taken by the imaging unit as the content.

6. An information processing method comprising acts of:

outputting, via a display screen, a body of content;

displaying, on the display screen, a slider enabling a user to set a display location from among a plurality of sequential display locations on the slider;

receiving, during output of the body of content over a time period, user input as a plurality of touch operations on the display screen, the user input setting the display location of the slider to a plurality of different display locations, each of the plurality of different display locations being associated with a different segment of the body of content;

storing, in a recording medium, attribute information for each different segment, the attribute information for each one of the segments being specified by the display location set during the output of the one segment;

receiving user input defining a range of display locations on the slider;

in response to receiving the user input defining the range of display locations on the slider, identifying one or more segments having attribute information specified by the defined range of display locations, and

outputting, via the display screen, the one or more identified segments having attribute information specified by the defined range of display locations.

7. A storage device on which is stored instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising acts of:

outputting, via a display screen, a body of content;

displaying, on the display screen, a slider enabling a user to set a display location from among a plurality of sequential display locations on the slider;

receiving, during output of the body of content over a time period, user input as a plurality of touch operations on the display screen, the user input setting the display location of the slider to a plurality of different display locations, each of the plurality of different display locations being associated with a different segment of the body of content;

storing, in a recording medium, attribute information for each different segment, the attribute information for each one of the segments being specified by the display location set during the output of the one segment;

receiving user input defining a range of display locations on the slider;

in response to receiving the user input defining the range of display locations on the slider, identifying one or more segments having attribute information specified by the defined range of display locations, and

outputting, via the display screen, the one or more identified segments having attribute information specified by the defined range of display locations.
