In addition, in the present embodiment, for declarative section purpose clearly constitutes, according to the formation of program, arrange each video material, use program to constitute editing device 130 and determine the operation that In point and Out are ordered respectively, generate program as this result and constitute table metadata, but do not use program formation editing device 130 and directly put video materials in order, that is to say, can carry out the arrangement change of material, the In point of each material and the decision that Out is ordered yet by non-linear editor 140.At this moment, program formation metadata has the data structure of editing meta-data and is not limited to have the data structure of Fig. 7.
In step 4, non-linear editing device 140 or caption editing device 150 carry out the editing operating of video material.Step 4 is divided into two steps, promptly use non-linear editing device 140 to carry out editing steps 4-1 such as the montage of video material of Database Unit 112 keeping or combination, use the step 4-2 of special-effects such as 150 pairs of edited video materials enforcement captions of caption editing device or edit effect.Editing video material at step 4 inediting is the actual video that uses in program, is referred to as " whole group ".Keep in the database (not shown) of whole group beyond Database Unit 112.And, in non-linear editing device 140 or caption editing device 150 inediting video materials, generate the editing meta-data of recording and narrating content of edit simultaneously.In the present embodiment, generate EDL (Edit Decision List) metadata.
The following describes the editing meta-data that in non-linear editing device 140 or caption editing device 150, generates.As Fig. 8 and shown in Figure 9, editing meta-data is each editing device output, and form itself has the distinctive data structure of editing device producer not by standardization.Editing meta-data shown in Figure 8 generates output by caption editing device 150.Shown in label 710, editing meta-data comprises that program constitutes the circulation of Table I D710 and various edit item 720.Edit item comprises: video material ID721, the former In point 722 of recording and narrating the actual place that utilizes in former video material and Out point 723, the program In point 724 that is illustrated in the place of making up in the program and program Out point 725, the kind of representing to become edit object are video or voice or or its both object 726, are illustrated in and have implemented the special-effect kind 727 of what kind of special-effect, the special-effect order 728 of editing device between In point and the Out point.For example label 730 is illustrated in the middle of the video material of video material ID=012345, video section between the time counting " 00:01:00-00:01:01 " of this video material has been carried out special-effect, in program, in " 00:01:00-00:01:01 ", use.And special-effect represents to have carried out additional " captions ", sends the order at " XX, YY, the zero * port in ‘ Xin Diarrhea county ', Font, Color ".This is illustrated in XX, on the YY axle, to the zero * port in “ Xin Diarrhea county " such character string specifies the color of Font (font) and literal to append to video.And the editing meta-data that Fig. 9 represents is generated and output by non-linear editing device 140.Shown in label 810, editing meta-data is the same with editing meta-data shown in Figure 8, and the circulation that is made of Table I D810 and various edit item 820 program constitutes.For example, label 830 is illustrated in the video material of video material ID=012349, and the video section between the time counting " 00:01:00-00:01:03 " of this video material is carried out special-effect, in program, uses in " 00:01:57-00:02:00 ".And special-effect is represented to have carried out " edit effect ", sends the order of " FadeOut, Black ".Here it is, and expression implements picture is faded out into the edit effect of black.Editing meta-data in non-linear editing device 140 or generation in caption editing device 150 is input to editing data login unit 116, editing data login unit 116 signs in to Database Unit 112 with editing meta-data, is input to simple and easy program reproducing metadata on the other hand and generates starting unit 113.
Simple and easy program reproducing metadata is generated starting unit 113 input video material metadata, program formation table metadata or editing meta-data.Simple and easy program reproducing metadata generates starting unit 113 and accepts the notice that the login of various metadata finishes, and carries out the starting of simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation unit 111 and judges.Here, illustrate that simple and easy program reproducing metadata generates the starting judgement of starting unit 113.For example, timing before the end of the step 3 of simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation starting unit 113 in program making, promptly there is being program to constitute the new login of table metadata from program formation table login unit 115 or more under the situation of new login, judging to generate starting.Even this situation program is not finished, also the structure with combination simply makes material in the formation table respond the requirement of audiovisual continuously.And simple and easy program reproducing metadata generates the timing of starting unit 113 before program making step 4-1,4-2 finish, promptly from each video editing apparatus have the new login of editing meta-data or more the situation of new login judge and generate starting.This situation is that the terminal of response beyond each video editing apparatus makes and the request simply confirmed consistent with video of program edit effect.In addition, simple and easy program reproducing metadata generate starting unit 113 the new login of video material metadata is arranged from video material login unit 114, more the situation of new login judges and generates starting.This situation be used for program formation table login after, the new login of response video material or the more request of the new login situation of carrying out.And then in addition, simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation starting unit 113 judges in the situation that has program to constitute the login of Table I D and generates starting.Simple and easy program reproducing metadata generates starting unit 113 and has the interface that constitutes editing device 130 with program, constitutes Table I D from program formation editing device 130 appointed programs, and program receiving completes and indicates or whole group transmission request.According to this request, simple and easy program reproducing metadata generates starting unit 130 and is judged as and has made whole group, constitutes the program of Table I D for having program, the generation request of simple and easy program reproducing metadata is sent to simple and easy program reproducing metadata generate starting unit 113.Like this, judgement is started in the login that notice that the login that simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation starting unit 113 is accepted various metadata finishes or program constitute Table I D, and simple and easy program reproducing metadata is generated request constitute Table I D with program and send to simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation unit 111, thereby the generation that simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation unit 111 is carried out simple and easy program reproducing metadata is handled.
The internal structure of simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation unit 111 then is described.As shown in Figure 3, simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation unit 111 comprises: the reproduction video material regularly of recording and narrating video material is reproduced regularly generation unit 210, record and narrate the content of edit Displaying timer generation unit 220 of the Displaying timer of content of edit, be combined in that video material is reproduced regularly rabbit order that generation unit 210 generated and in the command in combination unit 231 of the content of edit Displaying timer generation unit 220 content of edit orders that generate, be sorted in the rabbit order of combination in the command in combination unit 231 and the taxon 232 of content of edit order in chronological order, output has the simple and easy program reproducing metadata outputting unit 233 of the simple and easy program reproducing metadata of sorted rabbit order and content of edit order.And video material reproduces regularly that generation unit 210 comprises: obtain program and constitute program that Table I D and the program related with it constitute table metadata and constitute table metadata and obtain unit 211, constitute the montage extraction unit 212 that the montage circulation of table metadata each montage extracted, the montage after extracting the rabbit order generation unit 214 that extracts the video material information extraction unit 213 of the information of video material, generates the rabbit order according to the information of extracting in video material information extraction unit 213 from program.And content of edit Displaying timer generation unit 220 comprises: the editing meta-data of obtaining the editing meta-data that is associated with program formation Table I D is obtained unit 221, editing data tool extraction unit 222 to each item extraction editing meta-data, from the editing meta-data of the project extracted, extract the content of edit extraction unit 223 of content of edit, the order that is comprised in the content of edit that extracts is transformed into the order converter unit 225 of character string, content of edit order generation unit 226 according to content of edit that extracts and the order of the generation of the character string after conversion content of edit.And content of edit Displaying timer generation unit 220 has order and carries out the character string map table 224 of character string of foundation management of the description character string of order, and order converter unit 225 uses character string map tables 224, and order is transformed into character string.Character string map table 224 is discussed in the back.
Then use Figure 10 that the action that the generation of simple and easy program reproducing metadata is handled is described.As mentioned above, the login that notice that the login that simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation starting unit 113 is accepted various metadata finishes or program constitute Table I D, start judgement, and simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation request is sent to simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation unit 111 with program formation Table I D.Simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation unit 111 constitutes Table I D by program receiving and simple and easy program reproducing metadata generates request, carries out the generation of simple and easy program reproducing metadata and handles (S901).Program formation Table I D and simple and easy program reproducing metadata generation request are sent to program formation table metadata and obtain unit 211, and program formation table metadata is obtained unit 211 and obtained the program formation table metadata (S902) with program formation Table I D.The program that use obtains constitutes Table I D or program constitutes table metadata, generates the head unit (S903) of simple and easy program reproducing metadata.In the head unit, give program and constitute Table I D, and determine the layout of simple and easy program reproducing picture.For example, the 1110 pairs of programs in the head unit of simple and easy program reproducing metadata shown in Figure 12 constitute Table I D and give<program id=" 9324 " 〉, layout represents to use 4 kinds<region id=〉.In the present embodiment, as the used again frame of video material, use<region id=" movie " 〉, remaining 3 kinds of frame use<region id=" kouka " that show usefulness as content of edit 〉.In addition, also can be the quantity that the quantity of edit effect changes frame according to the quantity of editing meta-data.
Then, generate the main unit of simple and easy program reproducing metadata.Generate the rabbit order 1121 of recording and narrating video material reproduction timing in main unit 1120, record and narrate the content of edit order 1122 of content of edit Displaying timer.The generation of rabbit order 1121 is, read program and constitute table metadata and obtain the program of obtaining unit 211 and constitute table metadata and send to montage extraction unit 212 (S904), the information (S905) of the part that is equivalent to a montage is extracted in the montage circulation that constitutes table metadata from program at montage extraction unit 212.For example, if constitute table metadata, then extract the part of label 626 to 633 according to the program of Fig. 7.Then, the information of the montage that montage extraction unit 212 will extract sends to video material information extraction unit 213, and video material information extraction unit 213 is extracted video material information (S906) from a clip information.Video material information has material ID628, In point 631 and Out point 632 etc.Video material information extraction unit 213 sends to rabbit order generation unit 214 with the video material information of extracting, rabbit order generation unit 214 is obtained the video material metadata that is associated with video material information and is recorded and narrated position (location) in the video material metadata etc., generates rabbit order (S907).For example, video material information has been sent under the situation of material ID628, can obtain the video material metadata related with material ID628, and, by the position 402 that the video material metadata is recorded and narrated, can obtain the video material that in Database Unit 112, keeps.What generate in the rabbit order generation unit 214 records and narrates rabbit order 1121 (S908) in the main unit 1120 of simple and easy program reproducing metadata for the rabbit order 11211 of a montage as one of order.Record for the rabbit order of simple and easy program reproducing metadata is recorded and narrated by sending to command in combination unit 231 in the rabbit order that rabbit order generation unit 214 generates.Thus, the generation of rabbit order that constitutes a montage of table metadata for program finishes.And, at this moment, have under the situation of next montage project in the montage circulation in order or scene, till disappearing, the montage project carries out the processing (S909) of step 905 to step 908, under the situation that does not have the montage project, then generate the content of edit order 1122 of the main unit of simple and easy program reproducing metadata.Because transfer to the generation of content of edit order, rabbit order generation unit 214 constitutes the editing meta-data that Table I D sends to content of edit Displaying timer generation unit 220 with program and obtains unit 221.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the generation of the rabbit order of material has been to use and has constituted the program of generation that editing device 130 generates the rabbit order of materials by program and constitute table metadata, but also can use the result's that the montage that becomes the material that has carried out constituting program in non-linear editor connects editing meta-data.At this moment, editing meta-data is the same with editing meta-data shown in Figure 9, and each montage has video material information 830, wherein, and for not logining the data structure of special-effect kind 827, order 828 data.
Obtain unit 221 at editing meta-data and obtain editing meta-data (S910) with program formation Table I D.Decision is used for display box (S911) that the record content of the editing meta-data obtained is carried out text display.Display box distributes the display box of a record to the head unit that generates in step 903.For example, the head unit 1110 of the simple and easy program reproducing metadata shown in Figure 12 shows that as content of edit the frame of usefulness has 3 kinds<region id=" kouka " 〉, for a kind of editing meta-data is carried out text display and distributes a display box.For the distribution of display box, both can also can set up related in advance to display box according to the processing sequence of editing meta-data according to the special processing kind in the editing meta-data.
The generation of content of edit order 1122 is to read editing meta-data to obtain the editing meta-data that unit 221 is obtained, and editing meta-data extraction unit 222 extracts (S912) to each project.For example, if according to the editing meta-data of Fig. 8, then extract the part of label 730.Then, the editing meta-data of the project that editing meta-data extraction unit 222 will extract sends to content of edit extraction unit 223, and content of edit extraction unit 223 extracts content of edit (S913) from the editing meta-data of a project.If according to the editing meta-data of Fig. 8, then extract program In point 724, program Out point 725, special-effect kind 727 and command information 728 etc.The content of edit that extracts sends to order converter unit 225, and order converter unit 225 uses character string map table 224 that command information 728 is transformed into character string (S914).
Here, description character string map table.As shown in figure 11, the character string map table is that order is set up related table with the character string of the explanation of having carried out order.For example, label 1001 is carrying out the character string conversion under the situation of special-effect kind=" edit effect ", and label 1002 regulations will be carried out the character string conversion with the order in the editing meta-data.In addition, label 1003 is related with output string foundation with order and independent variable, and label 1004 expression order=" FadeIn " and independent variable=" Color " carry out character string and are transformed into output string=" coming out gradually " Color " look " output.Label 1005 expression order=" FadeOut " and independent variable=" Color " are carried out character string and are transformed into output string=" fading out " Color " look " output.For example, obtaining editing meta-data shown in Figure 9, under the situation of the part of extraction label 830, the content of edit that extracts is program In point 824=" 00:01:57 ", program Out point 825=" 00:02:00 ", special-effect kind 827=" edit effect " and command information 828=" FadeOut, Black ".And, when this content of edit is input to order converter unit 225, in order converter unit 225, use character string map table 224, be transformed into command information 828=and " come out gradually " Black look " ".In addition, in the present embodiment, only under the special-effect kind is the situation of edit effect, carry out conversion,, do not carry out the character string conversion and the utility command that remains untouched so the special-effect kind is under the situation of captions effect to the character string of command information.
Use utilizes character string map table 224 to carry out the character string or the order of conversion, generates content of edit order (S915).For example, under the situation of the label 730 that has extracted editing meta-data shown in Figure 8,<textstream begin=" 00:00:00.0s " end=" 00:00:01.0s " region=" kouka1 " data=" XX axle; zero * port, YY axle ‘ Xin Diarrhea county ", font=Font, color=Color/〉order generates as content of edit.And, under the situation of the label 830 that has extracted editing meta-data shown in Figure 9,<textream begin=" 00:01:57.0s " end=" 00:02:00.0s " region=" kouka2 " data=" comes out gradually into the Black look " 〉, order generates as content of edit.The content of edit order 11221 that generates in content of edit order generation unit 226 is in the content of edit order of recording and narrating as one of order in the main unit 1120 of simple and easy program reproducing metadata 1122 (S916).For example, in the content of edit order 1222 of the main unit 1220 of simple and easy program reproducing metadata shown in Figure 12, record and narrate label 11221 or 11222.Record to the content of edit order of simple and easy program reproducing metadata is recorded and narrated by sending to command in combination unit 231 in the content of edit order that content of edit order generation unit 226 generates.Thus, the generation for the content of edit order of a project of editing meta-data finishes.And, at this moment, in the editing meta-data that extracts, have under the situation of next project, to there not being to carry out till the project processing (S917) of step 912 to 916, under the situation of the editing meta-data that other kind is arranged, also to there not being to carry out till the editing meta-data processing (S918) of step 910 to 917.By carrying out above processing, generate rabbit order and content of edit order respectively, send to command in combination unit 231.Send to taxon 232 after each order of 231 combinations of command in combination unit.Each order that taxon 232 will make up makes simple and easy program can reproduce (S919) according to time sequencing according to the time sequencing classification.Be classified by each order, the generation of simple and easy program reproducing metadata finishes, and simple and easy program reproducing metadata sends to simple and easy program reproducing metadata outputting unit 233.The simple and easy program reproducing metadata that simple and easy program reproducing metadata outputting unit 233 will generate sends to database 112, in Database Unit 112, simple and easy program reproducing metadata is set up related maintenance with various metadata.As shown in figure 13, in Database Unit 112, will make video material metadata, program formation table metadata, editing meta-data and simple and easy program reproducing metadata set up association and manage.Program constitute table metadata and video material metadata by video material ID wait set up related.And it is related by foundation such as special-effects with editing data that program constitutes table metadata.And then program constitutes table metadata and sets up related with simple and easy program reproducing metadata by program formation Table I D.That is, program constitutes table metadata and video material metadata, editing meta-data and simple and easy program reproducing metadata can be set up association and manage.
More than, present embodiment uses the video material metadata, the program that sign in to archive management device to constitute table metadata and editing meta-data, generation has the simple and easy program reproducing metadata of rabbit order and content of edit order, and these various metadata can be set up related keeping in database.In addition, the action of explanation is in the present embodiment handled by the archive management program of the recording medium (not shown) of the execution of the computer in archive management device record in archive management device.
