Thus, the slideshow can be adapted according to the interest of the user for example, for the first collection of contents being reproduced, for a particular element of the content being reproduced ... by switching to a second collection especially in case of lack of interest of the user for the first collection or in case of interest of the user for a particular element of the content being reproduced.

Description

The invention relates to a method for reproducing a succession of contents, in particular photos, also called slideshow.

A slideshow is a display of a succession of slides, photographs, images. Thus, the slide show proposed by the image processing devices consists in scrolling through a selection of images. Today, the applications of gallery or photo album, in local or in the cloud, make it possible to load the photos taken by the users by means of their camera, telephones, smartphones, phablettes, tactile tablets ... and propose to visualize these photos as a slideshow to scroll through all the photos taken in chronological order either loading or shooting.

Some image processing devices allow to make before the launch of the slide show a selection among the set of photographs according to one or more keywords associated with the photos. Then once the slideshow is launched, only the selected photos will be displayed successively.

During the scrolling of the preselected photographs or not, the user will be able to choose the direction of scrolling, the speed of scrolling, the suspension, the reading or the stop of the slide show. One of the aims of the present invention is to provide improvements over the state of the art. An object of the invention is a method of reproducing a succession of contents constituting a first collection. The reproduction method includes, when information of interest from a user of the reproduction method indicates a lack of interest of the user for the first collection, a substitution of the first collection by a second collection of contents according to the information of interest. Thus, the slideshow can be adapted according to the interest of the user for example, for the first collection of contents being reproduced, for a particular element of the content being reproduced ... by switching to a second collection especially in case of lack of interest of the user for the first collection or in case of interest of the user for a particular element of the content being reproduced.

Advantageously, the information of interest comprises at least one element selected by the user in the content being reproduced. Thus, the slide show becomes interactive allowing the user to choose during the reproduction to change the collection of content reproduced, in particular by selecting a keyword or part of the content being reproduced (the part of the content being defined either by the user or by zone delimitation in the content reproduced by a content management / processing method).

Advantageously, the reproduction method comprises a creation of the second collection as a function of at least one element selected by the user in a content being reproduced from the first collection. Thus, not only does the slideshow switch from a first collection to a second collection, but also the second collection is not a predefined content collection but created when the user selects an item in the collection. the content being reproduced. This avoids overloading the content management device with multiple predefined collections corresponding to predetermined keywords or key elements.

Advantageously, the content being reproduced comprising at least one user-selectable element, when the information of interest indicates a lack of interest for each of the at least one selectable element of the content being reproduced, the second collection is a collection reproduced by the reproduction process prior to the reproduction of the first collection being reproduced.

Thus, to return to the previously reproduced collection, it suffices for the user to indicate his disinterest in the collection being reproduced, in particular by selecting a part of the content that does not correspond to any key element.

Advantageously, the reproduction method comprises an analysis of the content being reproduced providing at least one area, a reproduction of at least the area relating to the reproduction of the content being reproduced, making it possible to define a part of the content in the course of reproduction. reproduction as a user selectable item.

Thus, the content is pre-zoned thus pre-defining key elements selectable by the user to indicate its interest in a part of the content being reproduced corresponding to a key element. Advantageously, the analysis of the content is an object recognition.

3028976 3 Thus, for an image, a video, the analysis is a recognition of face, monuments, landscape ... allowing to define key images as a key element. In the same way, a voice or musical recognition makes it possible to define key-sounds as key-element.

Advantageously, the information of interest indicates a lack of interest in the elements of the reproduced content when the user selects a part of the reproduced content located outside the areas reproduced on the content being reproduced.

Advantageously, according to an implementation of the invention, the various steps of the method according to the invention are implemented by a software or computer program, this software comprising software instructions intended to be executed by a data processor. a reproduction device of a succession of contents and being designed to control the execution of the different steps of this method.

The features and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly on reading the description, given by way of example, and the figures relating thereto which represent: FIG. 1, a simplified diagram of a method of reproduction of a succession of contents 30 according to the invention, FIG. 2, a simplified illustration of the invention, FIGS. 3a and 3b, examples of implementation of a method of reproduction of a succession of contents according to the invention , respectively, when the user indicates that he is interested in a person on the content being reproduced, and when the user indicates his disinterest in the content being reproduced, Figure 4, a simplified diagram of a method for managing the reproduction. 5, a simplified diagram of a reproduction device of a succession of contents according to the invention, FIG. 6, a simplified diagram of a content management device or a content management device. d The invention relates to a device for capturing content or a communication terminal according to the invention. FIG. 1 illustrates a simplified diagram of a method of reproduction of a succession of contents according to the invention. The succession of content being reproduced constitutes a first collection CC1. The CCRPRO reproduction method comprises, when information of interest from a user of the reproduction method indicates a lack of interest of the user for the first collection [Iu = N], a SUBST substitution of the first collection CC1 by a second CC2 collection of contents according to the information of interest read. Thanks to the invention, the slideshow (the reproduction of a succession of contents) is then adaptable. Thus, if the first contents of the first collection interest the user 15 but not the following, the slideshow will not become boring for the user. In addition, adaptation to the user context is fast and simple, or transparent to the user avoiding that it goes to another activity. In particular, the CCRPRO reproduction method comprises a reading of a CC collection and the CDSP reproduction of the content read in the CC collection. In particular, the method for reproducing a succession of contents CCRPRO comprises a reproduction of the first collection CC1 whose contents are retrieved in a content database BDD_c. The contents constituting the first collection CC1 25 are ordered, in particular, in ascending or descending chronological order of loading into the BDD content database c, shooting, or content creation ... In particular, the method of reproduction of a succession of contents CCRPRO includes a definition of the first collection CC PRED allowing to select, prior to the launching of the reading - of the first collection CC1 for the reproduction of its CDSP contents, the contents of the database. content data BDD_c to constitute the succession of contents of the first collection, in particular according to one or more selection criteria (for example, detected according to the user context and / or entered by the user ...). The first collection CC1 thus defined is either directly supplied for reproduction or stored in a collection database BDD _CC before being read there. In particular, an SLCT selection relating to the content ci being reproduced is performed by the user U. This selection SLCT is either an ACT interaction of the user U during the reproduction of the content ci, or a detection of a behavior of the user U during the reproduction of the content ci. An element elt is thus selected either in data associated with the content ci (for example in metadata, and / or a tattoo of the content), or directly in the content ci being reproduced.

In particular, the CCRPRO reproduction method comprises an ANLZ analysis of content c, ci providing at least one reproducible element with the content c, ci and selectable zc, zci by a user. The selectable element zc, zci provides for determining information of interest read.

In particular, the CCRPRO reproduction method comprises an ANLZ analysis of the content being reproduced here. The reproducible and selectable element zci by the user provided by the ANLZ analysis is reproduced CDSP with the content being reproduced ci. It is optionally selected SLCT by the user U if it is of interest to the user U.

By way of example, the reproducible element with the content c, ci and selectable zc, zci by the user is an area of the content c, ci. The CDSP reproduction of the zone relative to the CDSP reproduction of the content ci being reproduced makes it possible to define a part of the content currently being reproduced as a selectable element zci by the user U.

The selectable items zc, zci optionally include one or more selectable items distinct from the keywords, and key elements, and allowing when selected to return to the previously reproduced collection. These elements are also called return elements.

In particular, the contents c stored in the content database BDD_c are analyzed ANLZ prior to the start of the reading - of the first collection CC1 for the reproduction of its CDSP contents. The reproducible elements with the content c, ci and selectable zc by a user are stored in association with the content c in the BDD content database c.

In particular, the content c modified by integrating the selectable elements zc is stored in the content database BDD_c in addition to or instead of the original content c. Alternatively, the selectable items zc are recorded in the metadata or tattooed on the content c in the content database BDD_c. Thus, during the CDSP reproduction of this content c, the reproduction of the selectable elements zc will be faster because the selectable elements are already provided or even integrated into the content c. In particular, the information of interest comprises at least one element selected by the user in the content being reproduced. In particular, the CCRPRO reproduction method comprises an elaboration II of information of interest read by the user U with respect to the content ci being reproduced as a function of the selected element elt. The adaptation of the slideshow is then dynamic because it is the reaction of the user to the content being reproduced. In particular, the information of interest read indicates that: the user U has expressed nothing about the first collection CC1 and in particular the content ci being reproduced [Iu = 0], the user U expressed his interest in at least one element elt of the content ci being reproduced [lu = f (elt)], the user U expressed his disinterest [Iu = 1 \ 1] ... In particular, the method CCRPRO reproduces a creation of a content collection CC_CREA. The creation of collection CC_CREA generates in particular a collection according to at least one information of interest read relative to the content being reproduced. In particular, the CCRPRO reproduction method comprises a creation CC_CREA 20 of the second collection CC2 as a function of at least one element selected by the user in a content ci in the course of reproduction of the first collection CC1. For example, when the user U has expressed his interest in at least one element elt of the content ci being reproduced [lu = f (elt)], the substitution triggers cmd (lu) the collection creation CC_CREA which provides a second CC2 collection. The second collection CC2 thus created is a function of the information of interest read relative to the content ci being reproduced. The dynamic creation of the second collection triggered by the SLCT selection of at least one element of the content being reproduced avoids overloading the content management device with multiple predefined collections corresponding to predetermined keywords or key elements. . The selectable elements zc, zci comprise, in particular, keywords and / or key elements, that is to say elements making it possible to search in at least one content data base for contents of which at least a portion is identical. or similar to the key element, and / or comprising an identical or similar selectable element, and / or corresponding metadata. For example, on a content such as a photo, a video, the selectable element is an image part corresponding to a face, a monument ..., in this case the collection creation process CC_CREA searches the contents containing the same face 40 identical key-element) which is only possible when taking burst pictures, or a similar face 3028976 8 (ie the face of the same person taken with expressions different, different angles of view and / or at different ages ...), or corresponding metadata (such as an identifier of the person corresponding to the face: name, email address, pseudo, coordinates ...) 5 One or multiple collections can be created CC CREA independently of the reproduction of a content and then stored in the collection database BDD CC according to one or more predetermined information of interest, such as keywords or key elements. These collections will thus be able to be used as the second CC2 collection during the SUBST substitution allowing faster switching from a first collection CC1 to a second collection CC2. In particular, the content being reproduced having at least one selectable element zci by the user, when the information of interest indicates a lack of interest for each of the at least one selectable element zci of the content being reproduced ci, the second collection CC2 is a collection reproduced by the reproduction process prior to the reproduction of the first collection CC1 during reproduction. For example, the user U views a first collection CC1. During the DSP reproduction of a content ci of this first collection CC1, the user U selects a zci element which triggers the SUBST substitution by a second collection CC2. Subsequently, the collection currently being reproduced, also called the first collection, CC2 no longer interests the user U. He wishes to return to the collection CC1 that he was viewing previously. To express its disinterest in the current collection, the user U selects a portion of the content of the first collection CC2 that does not correspond to any key element (for example, the sky, the blur of a photo or a video , the ambient noise of an audio tape ...). This selection will indicate his disinterest and trigger the switch to a second collection consisting of the previously reproduced CC1 collection.

In a particular embodiment of the invention, the reproduction method is implemented in the form of a program comprising program code instructions for performing the steps of the reproduction method when the program is executed by a processor.

Figure 2 illustrates the invention in a simplified manner. The first collection CC1 consists of a succession of contents (illustrated as a rectangle in Figure 2) is read -. Each content read in the first collection CC1 is reproduced successively. When reproducing a content ci, an SLCT selection is made relative to the content ci being reproduced.

3028976 9 This selection SLCT makes it possible to substitute, in the collection reproduction, the second collection CC2 to the first collection CC1. This second collection CC2 is either selected in a collection database BDD CC is dynamically created CC CREA based on information of interest of the user provided by the selection SLCT.

As shown in the diagram of FIG. 2, at the end of the reading of the second collection CC2, the reproduction method CCRPRO can return to the reading of the first collection CC1 either at the beginning thereof or by reproducing again the content that has contributed to the substitution (as illustrated), either by reproducing the content according to the content 10 in the first collection ... Possibly, if after reproduction of some content of the second collection CC2, the user viewing content ck is no longer interested in the second CC2 collection, he can express his disinterest. The expression of the lack of interest of the user will trigger the substitution of a first collection, in this case the collection being copied CC2, by a second collection, in this case the previously reproduced collection CC1. FIG. 3a illustrates an exemplary implementation of a method of reproducing one of a succession of contents according to the invention, when the user indicates that he is interested by a person in the content being reproduced. The contents of the example of FIGS. 3a and 3b are images. When reproducing a first collection CC1, an image belonging to this first collection CC1 CC1 is reproduced. In parallel, this image is analyzed ANLZ to determine therein selectable elements {zj, ci} j. These selectable items are reproduced with the CSDP image.

Thus, the pre-defined content is predefined key elements selectable by the user to indicate its interest in a part of the content being reproduced corresponding to a key element.

In our example, the user U visualizes the image ci and on it the faces of the persons are framed to constitute the selectable elements z1, ci, z2, ci, z3, ci, z4, ci, allowing the user to indicate his interest on one or more people in this image (key elements), and a frame is drawn on the background wall constituting a selectable element 4-1 allowing the user his disinterest in the collection in the course of reproduction 40 (element-return).

For example, the analysis of the content ci is an object recognition, such as a face recognition (it could also be a recognition of monument, furniture, object to allow to generate collections of products) . In the same way, a voice or musical recognition makes it possible to define key sounds (in particular determined the identity of a person, a society, an album, etc.) as a key element. The selection of the element-return 4-là this stage, that is to say while no collection was reproduced before the first collection CC1 being reproduced, would result in the end of the reproduction process CCRPRO either a random selection of a collection in a DC BDD collection database 10, a random generation of a collection, or a generation of a collection containing contents that do not correspond to any of the key elements of the content. reproduction course ci (not shown). In the example of FIG. 3a, the user U selects the selectable element z3, ci. Thus, the SLCT selection provides a selected element elt = z3, ci directly or indirectly to the SUBST substitution. In particular, an elaboration of information of interest It generates from the selected element elt the information of interest read, which comprises, for example, a corresponding image of the face 20 and / or an identifier z3 id corresponding to the person whose face is reproduced in the selected element. In particular, a collection creation CC_CREA receives the information of interest read directly from the development of information of interest II or indirectly, for example, in the form of a command from the SUBST substitution. The creation of collection CC_CREA generates according to the information of interest read a second collection CC2, in particular by searching, according to the information of interest read, in a BDD contents database c contents.

In our case, the collection creation CC_CREA generates a second collection of contents, in particular an image comprising the face of the person selected in the content being reproduced here. Given that the image here has several selectable elements, the user U 35 could select several selectable items. Thus, the creation of collection CC_CREA would generate a second collection of contents comprising either the faces of all the persons selected in the content being reproduced ci, or at least one of the selected persons in the content being reproduced ci.

In a non-illustrated variant of the invention, when the user selects several elements, the method includes a request to the user to propose to the user to create the second collection by requesting that the contents of the second collection. include either all or at least one of the selected elements.

Then, the user having expressed his interest in a particular item z3, ci content being reproduced ci, the second collection CC2 created is substituted for the first collection being reproduced.

This second collection CC2 is read - and each of the contents of this second collection are reproduced CDSP. In particular, the image ck belonging to the second collection ck c CC2 is reproduced. In our example, the image ck is a photo of the person corresponding to the selected element elt = z3, ci in the image ci of the previously reproduced collection CC1.

FIG. 3b illustrates an exemplary implementation of a method of reproducing one of a succession of contents according to the invention, when the user indicates his disinterest in the content being reproduced.

Following the example of Figure 3a, the first collection CC2 is being reproduced (it has been substituted for a previously reproduced CC1 collection). In particular, the user views the image ck of this first collection CC2. In parallel, this image ck is analyzed ANLZ to determine therein selectable elements, in this case a key element zck and a return element 4-1. These selectable items are reproduced with the CSDP image. In our example, the user U visualizes the image ck and on it the face of the person is framed to constitute a selectable element zck allowing the user 30 to indicate his interest on the person present in this image ck (key elements), and a frame is drawn on the bottom wall constituting a selectable element 4-1 allowing the user his disinterest in the collection being reproduced (element-return). In the example of FIG. 3b, the user U selects the selectable element 4- '.

Thus, the SLCT selection provides a selected element elt = 0 directly or indirectly to the SUBST substitution. In particular, an elaboration of information of interest II generates from the selected element elt the information of interest read which comprises, for example, either a value of zero interest, 40 or a return command lu = N .

Thus, the information of interest indicates a lack of interest in the elements of the content ck reproduced, especially when the user selects a part of the reproduced content located outside the areas reproduced on the content being reproduced.

Next, the user having expressed his disinterest by the selection of the return element 4-1 of the content being reproduced ck, the second collection CC1, previously reproduced collection, is substituted for the first collection CC2 during reproduction. This second collection CC1 is read - and each of the contents of this second collection are reproduced CDSP, in particular from the image ci at which its reading was interrupted as illustrated by FIG. 3b. FIG. 4 illustrates a simplified diagram of a content management method according to the invention.

The PGC content management method comprises: a CCRPRO reproduction of a succession of contents constituting a first collection CC1, and when an information of interest read by a user of the management method PGC indicates a lack of interest in the user for the first collection CC1 [lu = N], a SUBST substitution of the first collection CC1 by a second collection CC2 according to the information of interest read. The substituting step SUBST is either implemented directly by the PGC content management method, or implemented by the CCCRPRO content inheritance reproduction. In particular, the reproduction CCRPRO comprises a reading - of a collection CC and the CDSP reproduction of the content read in the collection CC.

In particular, the reproduction of a succession of contents CCRPRO comprises a reproduction of the first collection CC1 whose contents are retrieved in a content database BDD_c. The contents constituting the first collection CC1 are ordered, in particular, in ascending or descending chronological order of loading into the BDD contents database c, of shooting, or of creation of content ... In particular, the method of PGC Content Management includes a content CPT capture. The captured contents are optionally stored: directly or indirectly in a content database BDD_c serving to constitute the first collection CC1 and / or to create a second collection CC2.

In particular, an SLCT selection (not illustrated in FIG. 4) relating to the content ci being reproduced is performed by the user U. This selection SLCT is either an ACT interaction of the user U during the reproduction of the This content is a detection of a behavior of the user U during the reproduction of the content ci. An element elt is thus selected either in data associated with the content ci (for example in metadata, and / or a tattoo of the content), or directly in the content ci being reproduced. In particular, the management method PGC and / or the reproduction CCRPRO comprises the selection and / or elaboration of the information of interest read by the user U with respect to the content ci being copied, for example as a function of the selected element elt. In particular, the PGC management method includes, directly or indirectly, an ANLZ analysis of content c, ci providing at least one reproducible element with the content c, ci and selectable zc, zci by a user. The selectable element zc, zci provides for determining information of interest read. In particular, either the CCRPRO reproduction or a TT content processing comprises the ANLZ analysis. For example, the content management method comprises, besides reproducing the succession of contents CCRPRO, a content processing TT able to analyze ANLZ the contents stored in the BDD contents database c, possibly during their CPT capture, their In particular, the reproducible and selectable element zci by the user provided by the ANLZ analysis is reproduced CDSP with the content being reproduced ci. It is optionally selected SLCT by the user U if it is of interest to the user U. In particular, the information of interest read comprises at least one selected element elt by the user in the current content of reproduction. In particular, the development Il (not illustrated in FIG. 4) of information of interest read by the user U with respect to the content ci being reproduced as a function of the selected element elt. In particular, the reproduction CCRPRO comprises a creation of a content collection CC_CREA. The collection creation CC_CREA notably generates a collection based on at least one information of interest read relating to the content being reproduced. In particular, the reproduction CCRPRO comprises a creation CC_CREA of the second collection CC2 as a function of at least one element selected by the user in a content ci in the course of reproduction of the first collection CC1.

For example, when the user U has expressed his interest in at least one element elt of the content ci being reproduced [lu = f (elt)], the substitution triggers cmd (lu) the collection creation CC_CREA which provides a second CC2 collection. The second collection CC2 thus created is a function of the information of interest read relative to the content ci being reproduced.

One or more collections can be created CC_CREA independently of the reproduction of a content and then recorded in the collection database BDD CC according to one or more predetermined information of interest, such as keywords or key elements. . These collections will thus be able to be used as the second CC2 collection during the SUBST substitution allowing faster switching from a first collection CC1 to a second collection CC2. In particular, the content being reproduced having at least one selectable element zci by the user, when the information of interest indicates a lack of interest for each of the at least one selectable element zci of the content being reproduced ci, the second CC2 collection is a collection reproduced by the CCRPRO reproduction prior to the reproduction of the first CC1 collection being reproduced. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the PGC management method is implemented in the form of a program comprising program code instructions for executing the steps of the content management method when the program is executed by a processor. FIG. 5 illustrates a simplified diagram of a reproduction device of a succession of contents according to the invention. The reproduction device 10 of a succession of contents constituting a first collection comprises a switch 104 substituting the first collection CC1 by a second collection CC2 as a function of information of interest read by a user of the reproduction device 10. when the information of interest read indicates a lack of interest of the user for the first collection CC1. In particular, the reproduction device 10 comprises a DC collection reader 102 successively supplying the contents of the collection CC read to a reproduction module 101, such as a screen and / or loudspeakers, on which the contents are reproduced successively. In particular, the reproduction device 10 comprises an interface 105 allowing the user U to interact with the content being copied and / or at the interface 105 to detect a behavior of the user U during the reproduction content. The interface 105 provides information of interest read from the user relating to the content being reproduced, in particular to the switch 104. In particular, the reproduction device 10 comprises a content analyzer 106 capable of supplying elements. zci reproducible with the content being reproduced ci by the reproduction module 101 and selectable by the user U by means of the interface 105. The interface 105 develops information of interest read according to the selected element. The switch 104 thus provides the reader 102 with a first collection CC1 as long as the user shows an interest in it read, and a second collection CC2 otherwise. In particular, the reproduction device 10 comprises a collection generator 107. The collection generator 107 is able to implement one or more of the following functions taken alone or in combination. The collection generator 107 is, in particular, able to generate a first collection by selecting contents in a content database 103, possibly according to predefined selection criteria, that is to say those defined before the reader is started. 102. The reproduction device 10 optionally includes the content database 103. The collection generator 107 is able to create one or more collections CC by selecting contents in the content database 103 according to selectable elements. provided by the analyzer 106 relative to contents of the content database 103. The CC collections thus created are stored in a collections database 108. In this case, the reproduction device 10 comprises the database of 108. Thus, the switch 104 searches, in the collection database 108, 30 for a second collection in fo nction of the information of interest read. The collection generator 107 is able to create a second collection CC2 by selecting for this second collection of contents in a content database 103 according to the information of interest read. The collection generator 107 receives the information of interest read from the user relating to the content ci being reproduced, either directly from the interface 105, or in a command from the switch 104 when it performs a substitution. The collection generator 107 searches in particular in a content database 103 contents according to the information of interest read to create a second collection CC2. The second collection CC2 thus created is provided by the collection generator 107 to the switch 104.

Thus, by combining several of the functions of the collection generator 107, if the switch 104 is not found in the existing collections of the collection database 108 previously created by the collection generator 107, a collection corresponding to 5 the information of interest read from the content being reproduced, the switch 104 can command the content generator 107 to create a second collection CC2 according to the information of interest read. Figure 6 illustrates a simplified diagram of a content management device or a content capture device or a communication terminal according to the invention. The device 1 represented in FIG. 6 and comprising: - a reproduction device 10 of a succession of contents constituting a first collection, and 15 - a switch 15, 105 substituting the first collection by a second collection as a function of information of interest of a user of the management device. is either a content management device, a content capture device, or a communication terminal.

In particular, the communication module 16 records or triggers the recording, by a processing module 12, of a content received or loaded into a content data base 13, 103, respectively external or internal to the reproduction device 10. Either the reproduction device 10 of a succession of contents constituting a first collection, ie the device 1 comprises a switch, respectively 104, 14, substituting the first collection CC1 by a second collection CC2 as a function of a piece of information of interest read from a user or from the device 10 or device 1, when the information of interest read indicates a lack of interest of the user for the first collection CC1. In particular, the reproduction device 10 comprises a collection reader 5 CC supplying successively the contents of the collection CC read to a reproduction module 101, such as a screen and / or loudspeakers, on which the contents are reproduced successively. In particular, either the reproduction device 10 or the device 1 comprises an interface, respectively 105, 15, allowing the user U to interact with the content being reproduced and / or at the interface 105, 15 to detect a behavior of the user U during the reproduction of a content.
