Communication IF portion 16 is by carrying out communicating by letter of various content-datas such as image, voice, text between the database in network 22 and the external server 23.

Operating portion 18 for example utilizes keyboard or mouse to constitute.This operating portion 18 is accepted operator's operation, should operate indication and send to CPU10.This CPU10 carries out the various processing of narrating later according to the operation indication from operating portion 18 inputs.

Monitor apparatus 20 shows many Edition Containses picture of being generated by content editing apparatus 11 and shows the various images of this content for each content of reproducing the many contents by this many Edition Contains picture editing.

Speaker unit 21 is exported sound relevant with this content and music for each content of reproducing many contents.

Network 22 for example is the Internet.In this network 22, connecting server 23.This server 23 has the database of the map datum of store various kinds of data, for example music data and various places.And transcriber 1 can use the map datum etc. of various data, for example music data and various places in the database that is stored in server 23 by network 22.Thus, transcriber 1 can suitably be downloaded necessary content-data from the database of server 23, and this content-data is kept among the 13b of content stores portion of storage part 13.Therefore, even transcriber 1 is not preserved a large amount of content-data etc. all the time in storage part 13, also can utilize necessary content-data where necessary.

One of feature of present embodiment is that many Edition Containses picture uses " annular shows ".Should in many Edition Containses picture and content playback picture both sides, all use " annular shows ".Many content playbacks picture is the picture that uses during the actual reproduction content and during retrieving images after the editor at many Edition Containses picture.

As image retrieval unit in the past, known have according to the so-called breviary demonstration of arrangement demonstration downscaled images and the calendar demonstration of arranging the demonstration thumbnail image corresponding with the time on photography date on this each hurdle in being divided into each dateline of calendar shape with photographing date time sequencing guide look.By contrast, present embodiment and existing display mode differ widely.

Fig. 2 represents that notion and breviary that annular shows show the example that is applied to image retrieval.Promptly, the display mode of present embodiment be constitute year, month, day, the time as unit and form the time shaft of ring-type, the time shaft of this ring-type coupled together make up demonstration, form thus and can jump to any time on date and conduct interviews, and can determine the display mode of image in retrieval or the time on date of reproducing.But, the editing pictures of the content of present embodiment may not be necessarily " annular shows " as prerequisite.

The annular that many content playbacks shown in Figure 2 are used shows it for example is the example of on August 31st, 2007 as the annular demonstration of benchmark.In addition, for the time on date for example being expressed as " 2007/8/31 " on August 31st, 2007.Annular show by year ring Y, month ring M, day ring D, the time the constituting of ring these 4 circles of T.Year ring Y for example 2003 as the summit, enclose constituted 1 from these 2003 to 2008.Month ring M for example Dec (Dec.) as the summit, enclose from January to Dec, constituting 1.Day, ring was for example constituted 1 circle from 1 day to 31 days.Shi Huan is for example constituted 1 circle from 0 o'clock to 24 o'clock.

Below, illustrative examples is as specifying the step on August 31st, 2007.

At first, only show a year ring Y, the operating portion 18 of operational example such as keyboard or mouse etc., 2007 years of selecting (click) year ring Y.Thus, show a month ring M to 2007 as the center.

Then, the operating portion 18 of operational example such as keyboard or mouse etc. after for example August of selection (click) month ring M, shows is encircled D as the day at center August (August:Aug).In addition, for example after 31 days of (clicks) day ring D are also selected by operating operation portion 18, show 31 days as the center the time encircle T.

During with this demonstration of ring T simultaneously, the time ring T periphery show the thumbnail image of this time as a plurality of images of photography time on date.In addition, in Fig. 2, omitted the demonstration of thumbnail image.When showing thumbnail image,, also can when surrounding, encircle T each position display representative image on every side if its amount of images is many.And, not only show thumbnail image corresponding to time ring T, can certainly encircle D corresponding to day, show thumbnail image in the mode of surrounding this day ring D.

This annular shows it is the picture that the time shaft of ring-type is come display image as benchmark.Therefore, when wanting on the viewing time, also can visit rapidly from image that must be far away, each image that for example different year is taken.Because at the circumferential arrangement photographs of time shaft, so the photography frequency in that age comes into plain view.And, herein for convenience of explanation, shown from year ring Y and then encircled whole rings of T, but also can utilize the rolling operation on the picture or dwindle/processing and amplifying, only show the image of time specific date.

Fig. 3 has represented to utilize an example of many content playbacks picture of annular demonstration.Showing expression in the upper left corner of many content playbacks picture reproduces the time on reproduction date 30 of the time in the past of each content, for example reproduces the time on date (2007/8/31 16:03).Concrete condition will be narrated in the back, when reproducing content, sequentially be presented at each static image data of photography time on date 2007/8/31 shooting.The demonstration while with these static image datas shows each dynamic image data and each text data by predetermined timing, goes back reproducing music.

In addition, then slow rather if according to the Actual Elapsed Time propelling of reproducing in many content playbacks corresponding to the photography time on date, advance so quicken (for example 100 times or 1000 times etc.) usually.The speed of this reproduction is called fltting speed.The fltting speed that reproduces can be set arbitrarily by the operator, also can be automatically made become the switching time that makes each still image according to the still image quantity of this day suitable time.In the present embodiment, for example be set at and for example utilize 3 minutes and reproduce photography on August 31 2007 time on date this day.

Specify reproduction of content picture shown in Figure 3.For example the day in " August " is encircled D to position display on the picture right side.In the current time on date of expression is the position of " 31 days ", and the day of the day of expression reproduction time on date indicates that Ma is shown by blacking.Thus, can show a day sign Ma with discerning.And sign Ma " 31 days " encircle T when showing as the center day.Time tag Ta represent to reproduce in the time on date " hour ".This time tag Ta advances on the interior week of time ring T according to the time and deasil moves.On the content playback picture, on ring T for example " 16 o'clock ", it was 16 o'clock that the time on date is reproduced in expression when time tag Ta was positioned at.

On content playback picture shown in Figure 3, still image, dynamic image, map, text have for example been shown simultaneously as content.For still image, for example a plurality of static image datas of taking August 31 time on date in photography are as each downscaled images 37, along the time ring T around be presented at its photography time near.These downscaled images 37 showed according to each subsidiary photography time on date of this each static image data.At this, for example show a plurality of static image datas of taking about " " and " " constantly at 16 o'clock at 22 o'clock.These downscaled images 31 also can overlappedly show.And the still image 32 of " 16 o'clock " of the most approaching moment of photography time is shown as bigger size.

The shooting place corresponding map 33 of each still image that shows in the lower right corner of content playback picture and on this content playback picture, show.This ground Figure 33 is selected automatically according to for example gps data that appends in the photographs.The demonstration time of this ground Figure 33 can be set when editor.Thus, ground Figure 33 can show for a long time, also can only show when one day beginning.

On the content playback picture, for example show two dynamic image picture 34a, 34b simultaneously on its right side.For example, if in the image of taking about 16 o'clock on the 31st August of time on date of photographing, have dynamic image data, then on these dynamic image pictures 34a, 34b, reproduce these dynamic image datas simultaneously.Even there is not the dynamic image data of taking this day (August 31), if on many content playbacks picture shown in Figure 3, in advance dynamic image is reproduced compiled program, then the program setting that reproduces according to this dynamic image is carried out each dynamic image simultaneously and is reproduced on each dynamic image picture 34a, 34b.And,, then become tediously long easily if the dynamic image on each dynamic image picture 34a, 34b reproduces captured full content.Therefore, the dynamic image on each dynamic image picture 34a, 34b reproduces and also can briefly carry out on many content playbacks picture.

Below time ring T, show text 35.The article that the text 35 expression is associated with captured still image or dynamic image.By showing the text 35, can realize more many-sided reproduction of each content.Figure 33 is identical with ground, and the demonstration time can be set on many Edition Containses picture.

Below, illustrate that the Edition Contains of the system that constitutes is as mentioned above handled.

Edition Contains is handled mainly and is carried out by content editing apparatus 11 and display control unit 10a.Wherein, content editing apparatus 11 makes editing pictures display control unit 11a and reproduces the timing setting 11b of portion action.

Fig. 4 represents the main flow chart of many content models.Transcriber 1 can be selected many content models and other patterns.At this, suppose to have selected in advance many content models.

Transcriber 1 has been prepared edit pattern and these two patterns of reproduction execution pattern at least in many content models.Edit pattern is used for type, the content of setting content and the timing that begins to finish thereof.Reproduce execution pattern and be used for after editor, according to actual reproduction content shown in Figure 3 based on edit pattern.

According to the operation of operator, select any pattern in edit pattern and the reproduction execution pattern to operating portion 18.Transcriber 1 is judged any pattern of having selected in edit pattern and the reproduction execution pattern at step S11.When having selected edit pattern, transcriber 1 changes step S12 over to, the processing of executive editor's pattern (editing and processing) in the result of this judgement.And when having selected the reproduction execution pattern, transcriber 1 changes step S13 over to, carries out the processing (reproduce to carry out and handle) of reproducing execution pattern.About the concrete condition of step 13, will in Figure 17 of back, illustrate.

In the implementation of edit pattern or reproduction execution pattern, transcriber 1 is in the operation of step S14 monitoring operator to the end indication of operating portion 18.Transcriber 1 monitors the operation that finishes indication, when receiving the operation of this end indication, finishes many content models.If do not finish the operation of indication, transcriber 1 returns step S11.

Below, the processing (editing and processing) of the edit pattern when having selected edit pattern is described.Fig. 5 represents to be used for to illustrate the process flow diagram of step of the editing and processing of many content models.

Fig. 6 represents the initial picture of many Edition Containses picture, for example the editing pictures when switching to edit pattern in reproduction implementation shown in Figure 3.40 expressions of many Edition Containses picture are presented at the whole image on the monitor apparatus 20.Top at many Edition Containses picture 40 shows the date edited time 41.This date edited time 41 is identical with the reproduction time on date in fact, but for fear of confusion, is called the date edited time on many Edition Containses picture 40.

At first, editing pictures display control unit 11a sets the date edited time 41 at step S21.Many Edition Containses picture 40 shown in Figure 4 is that the picture from reproduce implementation switches the picture of coming, so the date edited time 41 for example is shown as " 2007/8/31 ".Though also can be set at other times on date,, in the example afterwards, be assumed to be in this time on date and carry out editing and processing for for simplicity.And the date edited time is also " 8/31 " one day, but for example also can change to the unit in 1 week or the unit in January.

Then, editing pictures display control unit 11a carries out the display process of static image data at step S22.Because in this example the benchmark that reproduces is made as still image.The display process of this static image data is carried out according to the process flow diagram of the display process step of explanation still image shown in Figure 7.

Promptly, editing pictures display control unit 11a is at step S31, judge the content-data be stored among the content-data storage part 13b, subsidiary time on photography date in each static image data for example, retrieval is corresponding to showing time period, photograph at least one static image data of time on date 2007/8/31 for example from content-data storage part 13b.

Then, when retrieving each corresponding static image data from content-data storage part 13b, editing pictures display control unit 11a reads the thumbnail image of these static image datas at step S32.

Then, editing pictures display control unit 11a is at step S33, according to the photography quantity of photography date Time Calculation in the unit interval of the static image data of correspondence, generates the photography frequency data of expression photography frequency.At this, for example calculate per 2 hours photography quantity.

It more than is the display process of the static image data of step S22.

Then, editing pictures display control unit 11a changes step S23 shown in Figure 5 once more over to, thumbnail image/photography frequency data with reference to being read generate above-mentioned initial many Edition Containses picture 40 shown in Figure 6, make monitor apparatus 20 show this many Edition Containses picture 40.

At this, the many Edition Containses picture 40 that is presented on this monitor apparatus 20 is described.Show the date edited time 41 on the top of many Edition Containses picture 40.Right lower quadrant display operation icon 43 at many Edition Containses picture 40.

Picture right lower quadrant at many Edition Containses picture 40 shows handle icon 42.This handle icon 42 comprises OK button 42a and CANCEL (cancellation) button 42b.For example, by to the operation of operating portions such as keyboard or mouse 18, indicated " OK " after, carry out according to content edited on many Edition Containses picture 40 and to reproduce.

The 10d of record-playback portion reproduces the processing of various content-datas such as the image that is stored in the storage part 13, voice, text.Under the situation of having reproduced voice and music data, the 10c of speech processes portion carries out the processing with compressed speech data and music data decompression, makes speaker unit 21 actions by voice reproduction IF portion 15.If the reproduced image data, then image processing part 10b carries out the decompression that compressed view data such as for example JPEG/MPEG are decompressed, the γ correction/acutance processing of the view data that is suitable for other demonstrations etc. is handled, is converted to the adjusted size of converted image size.Display control unit 10a makes monitor apparatus 20 show this still image/dynamic image by showing IF portion 14.

And when when " cancellation " indicated in the operation of operating portions such as keyboard or mouse 18, editing pictures display control unit 11a makes the editor in the current operation invalid, returns the state before the operation.

Central portion at many Edition Containses picture 40 shows time ring 43.This time ring 43 for example comprises 6 time ring 43a～43f of concentric circles.This ring 43 disposes the 1st time ring 43a, the 2nd time ring 43b, the 3rd time ring 43c, the 4th time ring 43d, the 5th time ring 43e time successively from the outside, have standby time ring 43f at inner ring.

Wherein, the 1st time ring 43a is used to show the reproduction timing of still image.The 2nd time ring 43b is used to show the reproduction timing of dynamic image.The 3rd time ring 43c is used to show the reproduction timing of music.The 4th time ring 43d is used for the reproduction timing of videotex.The 5th time ring 43e is used for the reproduction timing of displayed map.And the standby time ring 43f of inner ring is used as the standard of each time ring when carrying out content setting, for example be shown as the annular date time 43f of 1 week as 24 hours.

Below date edited time 41 of many Edition Containses picture 40, show classification information 44.This classification information 44 comprises the meaning of each ring of all categories that is used for understanding easily ground performance the 1st time ring 43a～the 5th time ring 43e, promptly with still image, dynamic image, music, text, each sign flag that map is corresponding.Specifically, for example if the 1st time was encircled 43a, then each sign flag is the sign flag of the camera of expression still image.If the 2nd time ring 43b then is the sign flag of the video photography device of expression dynamic image.If the 3rd time ring 43c then is the sign flag of the headphone of expression music.If the 4th time ring 43d then is the sign flag of expression texts such as " ABC ".If the 5th time ring 43e, then be the sign flag etc. of for example representing landform.

And the sign flag of still image is presented on the 1st time ring 43a.The sign flag of dynamic image is presented on the 2nd time ring 43b.The sign flag of music is presented on the 3rd time ring 43c.The sign flag of text is presented on the 4th time ring 43d.The sign flag of map is presented on the 5th time ring 43e.

In addition, on many Edition Containses picture 40 shown in Figure 6, the size of classification information 44 is little, can not clearly show the shape of each sign flag, so illustrate the figure after classification information 44 amplifications in the left side.On many Edition Containses picture 40 of reality, the amplification that also can not carry out this classification information 44 shows.

On the 1st time ring 43a, show a plurality of representative image 45-1～45-n that represents still image.In addition, these representative image 45-1～45-n is not limited on the 1st time ring 43a, also can show along the 1st time ring 43a.These representative image 45-1～45-n for example represents a plurality of still images taken in per 1 hour in the date edited time (2007/8/31), is shown as downscaled images respectively on each position corresponding with the approximate location of photography time.Under the situation that can not all show more than the quantity that these representative image 45-1～45-n takes in its photography time (1 hour), be respectively a view data that from many view data, is selected as showing usefulness.These representative image 45-1～45-n for example is the image that begins to be taken most in its photography time section.These representative image 45-1～45-n or downscaled images are to generate according to the thumbnail image that the step S32 at the process flow diagram of above-mentioned still image display process shown in Figure 7 is read out.

Show photography frequency information F on the 1st time ring 43a, photography frequency information F is according to the photography frequency data of calculating in the step S33 of the process flow diagram of above-mentioned still image display process shown in Figure 7 represent the to photograph frequency of quantity.This photography frequency information F forms has the circular-arc of preset width, overlapping being presented on the 1st time ring 43a.This photography frequency information F shows frequency curve F1 (be single hacures) in few time period of photography quantity (for example below 4/hour) on Fig. 6, at (for example more than 5/hour) demonstration frequency curve F2 (being the jack to jack adapter hachure on Fig. 6) of many time periods of photography quantity.According to the demonstration of this photography frequency information F, what of the photography quantity of recognition time section easily.

Then, editing pictures display control unit 11a changes step S24 shown in Figure 5 once more over to, judge from 6 times ring 43a～43f, selected time ring 43a, 43b ..., among the 43f which.When this result of determination was regularly the 5th time ring 43e of reproduction by the operation of operating portions such as keyboard or mouse 18 having been selected displayed map for example, editing pictures display control unit 11a carried out the Edition Contains that map uses at step S25 and handles.

The edit step of the map in many Edition Containses processing is described.Fig. 8 is many Edition Containses picture 40 that map is used.Fig. 9 is the process flow diagram of the editing and processing step in the many content models of expression.At first, editing pictures display control unit 11a judges at step S41 whether the type of selected content is map.If this result of determination is selected content is map, then editing pictures display control unit 11a changes step S42 over to.Editing pictures display control unit 11a reads positional information subsidiary in this static image data from the static image data that retrieves among the step S31 of Fig. 7, read the map datum that is equivalent to this positional information in the content-data from be stored in the 13b of content stores portion.

On the other hand, if selected content is the information outside the map, then in most cases expect particular content by operator's chosen content.Therefore, editing pictures display control unit 11a is at step S43, from the 13b of the content stores portion retrieval content corresponding with selected content, for example bent name data, text data, dynamic image data etc., its tabulation of demonstration on monitor apparatus 20.

But about dynamic image data, for example if the dynamic image data of taking the same day, it is rational then reproducing this dynamic image data.Therefore, whether editing pictures display control unit 11a retrieval is present in the dynamic image data of date edited time shooting in the 13b of content stores portion, if be present in the dynamic image data of this date edited time shooting, then preferentially select this dynamic image data.And, the dynamic image data of time on date if do not photograph corresponding to the date edited time, then editing pictures display control unit 11a makes monitor apparatus 20 show the tabulation that is stored in the dynamic image data among the 13b of content stores portion, can make the operator therefrom select specific dynamic image data.

When under the state of the tabulation that has shown content on the monitor apparatus 20, if operating in of operating portions such as keyboard or mouse 18 selected specific content in this tabulation by the operator, then editing pictures display control unit 11a is at step S44, read selected content from the 13b of content stores portion, step S45 in the back makes monitor apparatus 20 show the content and the contents management information 50 thereof of being read.On many Edition Containses picture 40 that map shown in Figure 8 is used, below its left side, show contents management information 50.

This contents management information 50 is for example represented the filename of content.And the central portion of many Edition Containses picture 40 of using at map shows the content information 51 of map.In addition, the content information 51 of map is presented at the central portion among ring time on the date 43f.According to the demonstration of the content information 51 of this contents management information 50 and map, confirm selected content easily.

In addition, many Edition Containses picture 40 of map shown in Figure 8 is selected map automatically according to the camera positions of still image, so there is not the demonstration of contents list.Shown in the music list that the concrete example of contents list is narrated in the back.

Then, editing pictures display control unit 11a is at step S46, judges that of whether supressing in the editing and processing of many contents in the handle icon 42 is cancel button 42b.If this result of determination is to supress cancel button 42b, then editing pictures display control unit 11a changes step S47 over to, and the picture before turning back to.And if supress OK button 42a, then editing pictures display control unit 11a returns editing and processing shown in Figure 5.

Then, if cancel button 42b and OK button 42a do not press, then editing pictures display control unit 11a judges the operation indication that whether is had setting/change the content demonstration time at step S49.If this result of determination is the operation indication that is not had setting/change the content demonstration time, then editing pictures display control unit 11a repeating step S46, S48, S49.

If there is the operation indication of setting/change the content demonstration time, then editing pictures display control unit 11a changes step S50 over to, show the operation indication of setting/change of time according to content, for example according to shown in Figure 8, the timing information 52 of the time that indicator gauge example such as map reproduce on the 5th time ring 43e.This timing information 52 is for example utilized 18 inputs of operating portions such as keyboard or mouse by the operator.In Fig. 8, by click on the 5th time ring 43e moment 13:02 and constantly the position separately etc. of 23:00 import.

Specifically, timing information 52 comprise the end point 52e of the starting point 52s of the start time that expression is reproduced, concluding time that expression is reproduced and represent these starting points 52s and end point 52e between the reproduction line 52a of reproduction period.Starting point 52s and end point 52e for example utilize expressions such as two circles respectively.Reproducing line 52a for example utilizes thick line to represent.This reproduction line 52a for example can utilize different color showings at each content, and it is red for example can distinguishing and be expressed as map, and music is blue, and text is yellow, and dynamic image is green.

And, show the indication time on date 53 at the picture lower left quarter of many Edition Containses picture 40 of map.The standby time ring 43f of these the 1st～the 5th times of expression indication time on date 53 ring 43a～43e and inner ring encircles cursor placement location (time on date) on 43 in each time.On many Edition Containses picture 40 of map shown in Figure 8, current cursor is consistent with starting point 52a, is the time on date (13:02) of starting point 52a as indication date time showing.And, on many Edition Containses picture 40 of this map, set at the roughly moment of indicated time on date 2007/8/31 13:00 to moment 23:00, at central authorities' reproduction displayed map 51 of time ring 43, as content information 51.

In addition, be presented at a plurality of representative image 45-1～45-n on the 1st time ring 43a, on many Edition Containses picture 40 of map, continue to show as long as the not change of time on date is just identical with above-mentioned Fig. 6.

Then, editing pictures display control unit 11a is at step S51, judges that of whether supressing in the editing and processing of many contents in the handle icon 42 is cancel button 42b.If this result of determination is to supress cancel button 42b, then editing pictures display control unit 11a changes step S52 over to, and the picture before turning back to.

And if supress OK button 42a, then editing pictures display control unit 11a changes step S54 over to from step S53, it is definite to be judged to be the timing information of being imported 52, sets according to the timing information 52 of this input and reproduces regularly, returns above-mentioned editing and processing shown in Figure 5.

In addition, if do not press cancel button 42b and OK button 42a, then editing pictures display control unit 11a repeating step S50, S51, S53.

Below, the edit step of the many Edition Containses music in handling is described.

Figure 10 represents many Edition Containses picture 40 of music.For example after the editor of map finishes, utilized operating portion 18 clicking operation such as keyboard or mouse the operator ring used of music promptly during the 3rd time ring 43c, editing pictures display control unit 11a makes monitor apparatus 20 show many Edition Containses picture 40 of music shown in Figure 10 at step S24 shown in Figure 5.

Even switch to many Edition Containses picture 40 of music from map, editing pictures display control unit 11a also continues the editing operating content on many Edition Containses picture 40 of displayed map.This is the content reproduction timing each other in order to confirm map and music.At this, at the reproduction timing information 52 of the map of setting on many Edition Containses picture 40 of map shown in Figure 8, for example reproduce line 52a and be presented on the 5th time ring 43e.In addition, reproducing line 52a is shown as and can distinguishes mutually with the reproduction line 60a that is edited on this many Edition Containses picture 40.Certainly, when on initial many Edition Containses picture 40 shown in Figure 6, clicking the 3rd time ring 43c, also can switch to many Edition Containses picture 40 of music shown in Figure 10.

After having selected music, editing pictures display control unit 11a shows that at the picture upper right quarter spendable bent among the 13b of content stores portion that is stored in storage part 13 is had a guide look of, as contents list 61 at step S43.

The bent name of from contents list 61, having selected to want to use when operating portions such as operator's operation keyboard or mouse 18, for example during bent name " Love me... " etc., editing pictures display control unit 11a to selected bent name " Love me... " additional mark, for example sign " ◎ " shows, so that can know the bent name of selecting in contents list 61.And editing pictures display control unit 11a shows the sign flag of expression music and the bent name of selecting " Love me... " at the central portion of time ring 52 in contents list 61, as content information 51.And, identical with many Edition Containses picture 40 shown in Figure 8, at the picture lower left quarter of many Edition Containses picture 40 of music, show the filename and the indication time on date 53 of selected music, as contents management information 50.

If there is the operation indication of setting/change the content demonstration time, then editing pictures display control unit 11a changes step S50 over to, show the operation indication of setting/change of time according to content, for example according to shown in Figure 10, the timing information 60 of the time of indicator gauge example such as reproducing music on the 3rd time ring 43c.This timing information 60 is for example by being shown by operating portions 18 such as operator's operation keyboard or mouses.This timing information 60 comprise the reproduction start time of representing music starting point 60s, expression music reproduction end time end point 60e and represent these starting points 60s and end point 60e between the reproduction line 60a of reproduction period.

In addition, when carrying out the Edition Contains of music, below contents management information 50, show auxiliary linear time base 62 as editor.The total length of this linear time base 62 is represented the whole playing time of music, is used for wanting when whole playing time is selected to reproduce the part of using.Also show during dynamic image editor that this linear time base 62 is narrated in the back.Because the time of the content of common dynamic image and music is long,, only utilize wherein a part of situation many so when being used for many content playbacks, compare the full content that reproduces dynamic image or music.

Therefore, in order easily to carry out from dynamic image or music all, extracting a part of arbitrarily indication, be provided with the time and encircle 43 different linear time bases 62.The operator can set starting point 62s, end point 62e on linear time base 62 and linearity is reproduced line 62a as reproducing regularly.

That is, if the starting point 62s of mobile linear time base 62 or end point 62e, then editing pictures display control unit 11a carries out making the starting point 60s of reproduction timing information 52 of music or end point 60e is corresponding moves with control.And if the starting point 60s of the reproduction timing information 60 of mobile music or end point 60e, then editing pictures display control unit 11a controls starting point 62s or the end point 62e with mobile linear time base 62.About the starting point of the reproduction timing information of music or the indication of end point, can on linear time base 62 and the 3rd time ring 43c either party, carry out, also can make the opposing party's change that links according to a side indication.

In the present embodiment, the recovery time of selected song for example is 3 minutes and 52 seconds, and on linear time base 62, starting point 62s was set to 1 minute and 14 seconds, and end point 62e was set to 2 minutes and 7 seconds.The promptly linear line 62a that reproduces of starting point 62s on this linear time base 62 and the reproduction indicating section between the end point 62e utilizes the color that can discern, for example darker color to show.

About the starting point 62s on the linear time base 62, end point 62e and linear indication of reproducing line 62a, be also embodied on the 3rd time ring 43c.On the 3rd time ring 43c, if starting point 60s is set at the position of indication time on date 13:00, then end point 60e is positioned at the position that is equivalent to after 1 minute and 9 seconds reproducing music time.

As previously described, the actual reproduction of many contents is the time of photography time on date to be quickened (shortening) carry out.For example, the actual reproduction speed of many contents is set to one day (24 hours) of reproducing the photography time on date in 3 minutes.Like this, be about 7 seconds in 1 hour of the photography time on date in many reproduction of content, 53 seconds reproducing music time was equivalent to 7 hours.Therefore, the position that is equivalent to 53 seconds reproducing music time from moment 13:02 roughly is moment 20:00.This moment 20:00 is the position of finishing.Be equivalent to reproduction period between starting point 60s and the end point 60e.Utilize reproduction line A60a to represent between these starting points 60s and the end point 60e.

Below, the edit step of the many Edition Containses text in handling is described.

Figure 11 represents many Edition Containses picture 40 of text.When music editor's end, operator shown in Figure 10 utilized operating portion 18 to click the 4th time ring 43d, editing pictures display control unit 11a made monitor apparatus 20 show many Edition Containses picture 40 of text shown in Figure 11.Even switch to many Edition Containses picture 40 of text, editing pictures display control unit 11a also shows the content of editing operating process before this, so that can confirm content reproduction each other regularly.In the present embodiment, on the ring 43c of the 3rd time on many Edition Containses picture 40 of text, show the reproduction line 60a (two places) of music, the reproduction line 52a of displayed map on the 5th time ring 43e.In addition, the content of music has also been set a place except that above-mentioned explanation, adds up to have set two places.

When having selected text editing, editing pictures display control unit 11a is at step S43, shows spendable text guide look among the 13b of content stores portion that is stored in storage part 13 at the picture upper right quarter, as contents list 61.The text that uses is selected to want by operator's operating operation portion 18 from contents list 61.Identical with the situation of music shown in Figure 10, to selected text additional mark " ◎ ", so that understand the text name on contents list 61, selected, for example " whale shark ".In addition, it also can not the mode that above-mentioned user selects from tabulation, if have corresponding to the text of still image or the text that obtains in this day (for example 2007/8/31), then editing pictures display control unit 11a also can preferentially read text data from the 13b of content stores portion.

The central portion of time in many Edition Containses picture 40 of text ring 43, part or all that shows selected text is as content information 51.And identical with Fig. 8 and each many Edition Containses picture 40 shown in Figure 10, the lower left quarter at many Edition Containses picture 40 of text shows the filename and indication time on date (2:00) 53 of selected text, as contents management information 50.Same as described above, editing pictures display control unit 11a receives the operation of operator to operating portion 18 at step S50, shows in the text display starting position to show end point 70e (6:00) at the text display end position by starting point 70s (2:00).And editing pictures display control unit 11a shows the reproduction line 60a that represents reproduction period between starting point 70s and end point 70e.

Below, the dynamic image editing steps in many Edition Containses processing is described.

Figure 12～Figure 16 represents each many Edition Containses picture 40 of dynamic image edit menu.Wherein, Figure 12 represents to finish the timing setting of each content of map/music/text, clicks many Edition Containses picture 40 of the 1st dynamic image content that the 2nd times ring 43b switches by utilizing operating portion 18.

Select for example dynamic image data in a plurality of dynamic image datas of editing pictures display control unit 11a from be stored in the 13b of content stores portion, the reproduction of the dynamic image data of this selection of indication regularly on many Edition Containses picture 40 of the 1st dynamic image content.In addition, the selection of dynamic image data is identical with the situation of explanation in many Edition Containses picture 40 of above-mentioned text shown in Figure 11, can accept the operation of operator, from dynamic image list (omitting diagram), select by editing pictures display control unit 11a to operating portion 18.And the selection of dynamic image data can also be retrieved the dynamic image data of taking in the date edited time automatically by editing pictures display control unit 11a from the 13b of content stores portion.

And the central portion of the time ring 43 of editing pictures display control unit 11a in many Edition Containses picture 40 of the 1st dynamic image content shows the part of selected dynamic image data, for example starts image, as content information 51.And editing pictures display control unit 11a shows that in the lower left of many Edition Containses picture 40 of the 1st dynamic image content the filename of dynamic image data is as contents management information 50.Cursor position that indication times on date 53 expression is current and for example moment 12:36 to start with.

Below contents management information 50, show linear time base 62.This linear time base 62 is identical with the linear time base 62 of music shown in Figure 10.The total length of this linear time base 62 is corresponding to the overall writing time (for example 3 minutes and 36 seconds) of dynamic image data.62 parts that utilization reproduction line 62a represents between starting point 62s and end point 62e of this linear time base are as reproducing part.In addition, on many Edition Containses picture 40, for example being designated as the recovery time in 00 second to 1 minute and 10 seconds.

Corresponding to the recovery time on the linear time base 62, on the 2nd time ring 43b, show the reproduction curve 80 of dynamic image data.This reproduction curve 80 when having specified starting point 80s or end point 80e either party, be equivalent to the real time for example 1 minute 10 seconds reproduction period be shown as and reproduce line 80a.In addition, the time of starting point 80a is the time of utilizing time appointed day (for example 2007/8/31 12:26) expression.At this, dynamic image data reproduces with identical speed, and content playback speed ought be set at about 3 minutes the previous day.Thus, for example 1 minute and 10 seconds recovery time was equivalent in the ring time (date edited time) 9.3 hours, thus end point 80e be positioned on the 2nd time ring 43b for example near 21.55 o'clock.

In addition, the specified order of starting point 80s and end point 80e does not have special provision, can begin to specify from the either party.And time shaft that will appointment also can begin to specify from the either party linear time base 62 and the 2nd time ring 43b.

Figure 13 represents many Edition Containses picture 40 of the 2nd dynamic image content.Above-mentioned many Edition Containses picture 40 shown in Figure 12 is appointed as the part of dynamic image data (for example 1 minute and 10 seconds) to reproduce and is used.By contrast, Figure 13 represents further to click in many Edition Containses picture 40 of the 2nd dynamic image content the situation of the prolongation of the reproduction curve 80a on the 2nd time ring 43b.Promptly, when utilizing operating portion 18 further to click the prolongation of the reproduction curve 80a on the 2nd time ring 43b, accept this click, editing pictures display control unit 11a shows for example by the end of 24 o'clock constantly prolongation curve 81 with at the current actual reproduction time of end point 62e position display (for example 00:1:10) 82a.This is because the reproduction period of dynamic image data can further prolong.Reproduce real time 82a and be shown as reproduction real time 82b at the end point 62e of linear time base 62.

Figure 14 represents many Edition Containses picture 40 of the 3rd dynamic image content.This many Edition Containses picture 40 is illustrated on above-mentioned many Edition Containses shown in Figure 13 picture 40, makes end point 81e further move to for example situation in 24 o'clock moment of the upper limit on August 31st, 2007.During this situation, reproduce line 80a and extend at 24 o'clock constantly.And when further prolonging the recovery time, the date edited time shown in the next one for example switched to the picture in September 1 2007 next day from August 31st, 2007.

Figure 15 represents many Edition Containses picture 40 of the 4th dynamic image content.The picture in September 1 2007 date edited time of the 4th dynamic image content of coming is switched in these many Edition Containses picture 40 expressions from the 3rd dynamic image content.Because the date edited time switches, so on the 1st time ring 43a, different with a plurality of representative image 45-1～45-n of the still image in representative shown in Figure 14 on August 31st, 2007.Editing pictures display control unit 11a shows a plurality of representative image 90-1～90-m that represents the still image of taking on September 1st, 2007.Meanwhile, editing pictures display control unit 11a also shows each frequency line 91a, 91b again.

In the 4th dynamic image content of Figure 15, other guides such as map/music/text are not set at current point in time.That is, do not show corresponding to this each reproduction of content line.And, the current cursor position of indication time on date 53 expressions.At this, " 2007/9/10:00 " for example shows date the time.

On linear time base 62, when by the operator operation of operating portion 18 for example being appointed as 2 minutes 40 seconds position with end point 62e, editing pictures display control unit 11a receives this appointment, at preposition display reproduction line 62a with reproduce real time 82b.And editing pictures display control unit 11a is display reproduction curve 91, end point 91e and the prolongation curve 91f that represents the T.T. amount (for example 00:3:36) of dynamic image data in its front on the 2nd time ring 43b.

Figure 16 represents many Edition Containses picture 40 of the 5th dynamic image content.This many Edition Containses picture 40 is illustrated on many Edition Containses picture 40 shown in Figure 15, makes end point 91e move to the rearmost position of reproduction, so that reproduce situation about measuring whole writing times of dynamic image data.This many Edition Containses picture 40 is appointed as for example 3 minutes and 36 seconds with the recovery time of dynamic image data.Thus, on the linear time base 62, end point 62e is positioned at right-hand member, shows 3 minutes and 36 seconds as reproducing real time 82b, will totally be shown as and reproduce line 62a.Equally, on the 2nd time ring 43b, reproduce curve 91 and end point 91e be configured in should the position on and show.End point 91e is near date edited for example was positioned on the time 16 o'clock constantly.

The explanation of the editing and processing on many Edition Containses picture 40 that more than is through with.In addition, the reproduction of still image regularly is treated to the timing of reproducing according to the photography time on date, is not limited thereto certainly, also can change the reproduction timing of still image.

Figure 17 is that description is reproduced the process flow diagram of carrying out the step of handling.Content playback is carried out and is handled the display process that refers to picture illustrated in fig. 3 in front, is the concrete processing of the step 13 among Fig. 4.With reference to the process flow diagram of Figure 17, illustrate that the execution of this content playback is handled.

To the other indication of operating portion 18 or selection automatically, reproduce the timing setting 11b of portion according to the operator, set the fltting speed when advancing content playback at step S61.In the example in front, this fltting speed is for to be set at about 3 minutes with one day.

Then, reproduce the timing setting 11b of portion, judge whether operated the OK button that instruction content reproduces at step S62.Meanwhile, reproduce the timing setting 11b of portion, judge the cancel button of whether having operated the cancellation content playback at step S63.In this result of determination is when having operated cancel button, reproduces the timing setting 11b of portion and is judged to be the cancellation content playback.So content editing apparatus 11 changes step S14 shown in Figure 4 over to.

On the other hand, when having operated the OK button, reproduce the timing setting 11b of portion and change step S64 over to,, for example on content playback picture shown in Figure 3, reproduce each content according to the step of in each above-mentioned editing and processing, setting.In addition, when in the reproduction of content way, supressing cancel button, reproduce the timing setting 11b of portion and change step S66 over to, end the execution of content playback from step S65.And content editing apparatus 11 changes step S14 shown in Figure 4 over to.

Like this, according to an above-mentioned embodiment, in a plurality of contents of combination, still image for example, dynamic image, music, text, each content such as map and when reproducing, when each reproduction timing of each content of editor, show many Edition Containses picture 40, regularly set in each reproduction that basis is edited on this many Edition Containses picture 40 in each reproduction timing of each content, show each reproduction a plurality of time shafts regularly that are used to specify each content, for example the 1st～the 5th time ring 43a～43e encircles 43a～43e along the 1st～the 5th time and shows each timing information 52 that respectively reproduces timing of representing each content.Thus, on many Edition Containses picture 40, the reproduction each other of a plurality of contents regularly comes into plain view.Carry out the editor that many content playbacks are used easily.

And, make a plurality of time shafts, for example the 1st～the 5th time ring 43a～43e forms ring-type, simultaneously the 1st～the 5th time ring 43a～43e is configured to concentric circles and shows, so the setting operation of the selection of easy clear for example each contents such as still image, dynamic image, music, text, map and these reproduction of content time etc.Thus, even be unfamiliar with the user of operation, also can carry out the setting operation operation of a plurality of reproduction of content time etc., and not have inharmonious sense with visual sense.
