Note that the menu before switching to the division information menu will be described later in the fifth embodiment.

  The playback function 60d is configured such that, of the items of the division information menu displayed on the screen 30 of the image display device 3 by the menu display function 60c, the playback instruction of the divided file corresponding to the desired item is given via the interface 61 by the touch panel 4. Are read out from the storage unit 64 and output to the interface 63 to generate an image signal and an audio signal, respectively. A process of outputting audio signals to the image display device 3 and the audio output device 5 incorporated therein is performed. Needless to say, the reproduction instruction of the divided file corresponding to each item is associated with each finger contact position information obtained from the interface 61.

  Next, the operation of the cooking recipe editing / presenting system configured as described above will be described. First, the operation at the time of registering a cooking recipe in the automatic editing / reproducing apparatus 6 will be described. In order to input basic information to the automatic editing / reproducing apparatus 6, an item for a segment execution instruction in a predetermined menu on the screen 30 of the image display apparatus 3. Touch (press) with your finger. Then, the segment execution instruction in the predetermined menu is input to the automatic editing / playback device 6 via the interface 61 by the touch panel 4, and the automatic editing / playback device 6 shifts to the playback signal monitoring mode.

  Thereafter, when the desired cooking program is reproduced by the recording / reproducing apparatus 2, the automatic editing / reproducing apparatus 6 divides and divides the basic information from the recording / reproducing apparatus 2 into a plurality of divided files. Stored in the storage unit 64. Subsequently, for each divided file of the plurality of divided files, information of the still image that represents the contents of the divided file and is an item of the divided information menu is extracted from the moving image information corresponding to the divided file. The file is stored in the storage unit 64 in association with the divided file. Thus, the registration of the cooking recipe to the automatic editing / playback apparatus 6 is completed.

  Next, an operation example in the case where a dish is made while watching a necessary scene of the registered cooking recipe will be described. In the automatic editing / playback device 6, a division information menu display instruction for displaying a division information menu for all or a part of the plurality of division files included in the cooking recipe on the screen 30 of the image display device 3 is displayed on the touch panel 4. When input via the interface 61, an image signal including each image (thumbnail image) information corresponding to all or part of the contents of the plurality of divided files is generated, and the image display device 3 via the interface 63 is generated. Is output. Accordingly, a division information menu including each image (thumbnail image) is displayed on the screen 30 of the image display device 3.

  Thereafter, when the user touches a desired item (thumbnail image) in the division information menu, the automatic editing / reproducing apparatus 6 inputs a reproduction instruction of the divided file corresponding to the desired item via the interface 61 on the touch panel 4.

Each is output to the built-in audio output device 5. As a result, a moving image corresponding to the desired divided file is displayed on the screen 30 of the image display device 3, and sound corresponding to the desired divided file is output from the audio output device 5.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, when a division information menu display instruction is input from the touch panel 4, the division information menu is displayed on the screen 30 of the image display device 3, and the division file corresponding to the desired item is displayed. When a playback instruction is input on the touch panel 4, a moving image corresponding to the divided file is displayed on the screen of the image display device 3, and a sound corresponding to the divided file is output from the audio output device 5. You can quickly check the demonstration scenes and make dishes while checking the corresponding scenes as the dishes progress. In addition, the basic information including moving image information and audio information that contains a demonstration of how to make a dish is automatically divided and divided into a plurality of divided files, and a division information menu for selecting a divided file Are automatically created, so that the time-consuming editing work can be eliminated. In addition, it is possible to eliminate the need for a server on the side that records the demonstration of how to make a dish.

  Thereby, when cooking with reference to a cooking program on the television, necessary information can be obtained in the kitchen without pausing the video or taking notes while rewinding many times. In other words, it is possible to easily retrieve and repeatedly view information on a necessary part without playing back all long moving images or fast-forwarding or rewinding.

  Moreover, since the division | segmentation file of a recipe can be displayed on the screen 30 of the image display apparatus 3 during cooking, it becomes more convenient than watching a video in a kitchen. For example, when a cooking program is reproduced as it is, it becomes a single continuous file of several minutes to several tens of minutes. Therefore, if it is desired to see an intermediate process, it is necessary to fast-forward to that place if it is a video. On the other hand, according to the first embodiment, the base information is divided into a plurality of divided files and stored in a hard disk device that reads and writes data on a disk-shaped recording medium. Can be played. Furthermore, since the thumbnail image is associated with the divided file, it becomes easy to select a desired divided file by using the thumbnail image, and it becomes easy to call a necessary scene with the same feeling as a cookbook.

  In the first embodiment, the sorting function 60a is configured to divide and divide basic information into a plurality of divided files as a plurality of divided information. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the basic information is divided into a plurality of divided information. It is also possible to create a section information to be divided into two and store this section information in the storage unit 64 together with the base information. Even in this configuration, the base information can be divided into a plurality of pieces of division information based on the division information.

  In the first embodiment, the touch panel 4 and the interface 40 are provided in the image display device 3 and the interface 61 is provided in the automatic editing / playback device 6 as the input means. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The image display device 3 is provided with various operation buttons and a signal output interface for outputting a signal indicating which of these operation buttons has been operated, and the signal input interface for inputting the signal is automatically edited. The structure provided in the reproducing | regenerating apparatus 6 may be sufficient. Alternatively, the input means may be constituted by a separate infrared remote controller having various operation buttons and an interface that is provided in the automatic editing / reproducing apparatus 6 and includes a light receiving unit that receives an infrared command from the infrared remote controller. Good.

  In the first embodiment, the audio output device 5 is built in the image display device 3. However, the audio output device 5 is provided separately from the image display device 3 and is arranged in parallel with the image display device 3. However, the structure provided so that a sound may be emitted toward the inside of a kitchen from the outside of a kitchen may be sufficient.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the automatic editing / playback device 6 is configured to be provided separately and independently. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and the configuration built in the recording / playback device 2 is also built into the image display device 3. But you can.

  Alternatively, even if the automatic editing / playback apparatus 6 includes at least a DVD device (DVD player) for recording and playback, the automatic editing / playback apparatus 6 includes a reception tuner, a timer with a calendar function, and a program reservation function similar to those of the recording / playback apparatus 2. But you can. In the case of a configuration including a DVD device, base information is input by setting a DVD disc containing a cooking program recorded by the recording / playback device 2 (referred to as a DVD) on the DVD device and generating it. be able to. In the case of a configuration including a receiving tuner or the like, the basic information of the cooking program can be directly received and stored in the storage unit 64.

  In the first embodiment, the image display device 3 is a panel television such as a liquid crystal television, but is not limited thereto, and may be a display device used in a computer. In this case, information on the screen size of the image display device (for example, 400 × 300 pixels) is stored in the automatic editing / playback device, and the screen size is compared with the image size of the moving image information at the time of moving image classification. When the image size is larger than the screen size, if the image is reproduced as it is, a part of the image is not displayed, so that the moving image is reduced so that the image size becomes equal to or smaller than the screen size. For example, when the image size is 800 × 600 pixels, the image size is reduced to 1/2 times vertically and horizontally, and when the image size is 640 × 480 pixels, the image size is reduced to 5 times vertically and horizontally. Conversely, if the image size is smaller than the screen size, the entire image is displayed even if it is played back as it is, but the image size may be enlarged to the screen size. However, since the image becomes coarse when enlarging, it is desirable to add a restriction such as setting the upper limit to 1.5 times, for example.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the sorting function of the automatic editing / playback apparatus in the cooking recipe editing / presenting system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  In the cooking recipe editing / presentation system according to the second embodiment, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the sorting function 60a divides the time between the start time and the end time of the basic information for each predetermined time TM. By doing so, the basic information is divided and divided into a plurality of divided files. Needless to say, the plurality of divided files are associated with each other so as to form the same set.

  Here, the basic information including moving image information and audio information that recorded a demonstration of how to make a dish is divided into a plurality of divided files as described above, unlike sports programs, etc. The process of dividing files (procedures for cooking) is often clearly different. Due to this feature, even if the basic information is divided by the predetermined time TM, it is possible to classify with high accuracy. In addition, the occurrence of an error in the segmented portion with respect to the transition point of each process does not become a fatal problem, and it is sufficiently useful if the base information can be segmented for each approximate process. For example, in the case of basic information in which a first process of “cutting a material” and a second process of “making a cut material strange” are continuously recorded, the last part in the middle of the first process Even if divided, each divided file is originally a continuous moving image and sound, and the first process and the second process are continuous. Therefore, each process is determined by the moving image and sound of each divided file. You can check without discomfort.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, the basic information can be easily divided / divided into a plurality of divided files, and each procedure of how to make a dish can be confirmed without a sense of incongruity by the moving image and sound of each divided file. Can continue.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the sorting function of the automatic editing / playback apparatus in the cooking recipe editing / presenting system according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

  In the cooking recipe editing / presentation system according to the third embodiment, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the sorting function 60a is based on the moving image information included in the basic information, and the start time and the end time of the basic information. For every fixed time TM between the two frames, both frames separated by the fixed time TM are extracted to obtain a difference, and when this difference exceeds a predetermined threshold, between the frames (in the center in the figure) The process of dividing (dividing) the base information is repeated. Note that the same processing may be performed for both adjacent frames between the two frames, and the frames that have exceeded the threshold may be classified.

  Each process of how to make a dish has few similarities such as “cut the ingredients”, “make it strange until it changes color”, “add water and simmer”, so if you change from one process to the next, It is considered that the content of the moving image frame changes greatly.

  Therefore, in the third embodiment, both frames are extracted to obtain a difference, and when the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold, the base information is divided and divided into divided files between the frames. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the error of the division location with respect to the transfer location of each process can be suppressed.

  Also, since both frames separated by a certain time TM are extracted, the number of divided files can be reduced by adjusting the certain time TM to an appropriate time (for example, approximately one tenth of the time required for one process). It is possible to prevent the enormous amount from being increased, and it is possible to prevent the segmented portion from being greatly shifted from the portion between the processes.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of an error in the divided part with respect to the transition part of each procedure of cooking, and by adjusting the certain time TM to an appropriate time, It is possible to prevent the number from becoming enormous, and to prevent the section from being greatly deviated from the position between each procedure of cooking.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the sorting function of the automatic editing / playback apparatus in the cooking recipe editing / presenting system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

  In the cooking recipe editing / presentation system according to the fourth embodiment, in the first or third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the sorting function 60a performs the above-described cooking demonstration based on the audio information included in the basic information. This is characterized in that a silent portion where no voice is present for a predetermined time TM or more is searched, and base information is divided and divided at the silent portion.

  Normally, in a cooking program, the contents of a process are explained (narration) immediately after the start and immediately before the end, and there is no narration (no sound) during the transition to the next process. ) In many cases.

  Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, a section with no narration for a certain time TM or more is regarded as a transition section to the next process, and the voice of the person performing the cooking is based on the voice information included in the basic information for a certain time. A silent part having no TM or higher is searched, and the base information is divided by the silent part (the center of the silent part in the figure). As a specific example, a portion where the sound level obtained from the sound information included in the base information is equal to or lower than a predetermined level and continues for a certain time TM or more can be searched as a soundless portion. Alternatively, it is possible to add a voice recognition function to the automatic editing / reproducing apparatus 6 to convert voice information into text data, and to search a place where the text data cannot be obtained for a certain time TM or more as a voiceless place.

  As described above, according to the fourth embodiment, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of an error in a segmented portion with respect to a transition portion of each procedure for cooking. Further, by combining with the third embodiment, it is possible to more suitably suppress the occurrence of an error in the segmented part with respect to the transitional part of each procedure of cooking.

(Embodiment 5)
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of an automatic editing / playback apparatus in the cooking recipe editing / presenting system according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention.

  In any of the first to fourth embodiments, the cooking recipe editing / presentation system according to the fifth embodiment is further configured such that the storage unit 64 further stores various keywords related to cooking (for example, material names), and the control unit 60 has a voice recognition function. 60e and a keyword assignment function 60f. The various keywords are not limited to the storage unit 64 but may be stored in a non-volatile semiconductor storage device such as a ROM or an EEPROM.

  The speech recognition function 60e performs processing for recognizing speech information included in the basic information and converting it into text. The voice recognition function 60e may be configured by a CPU different from the control unit 60 and a voice recognition dedicated program executed by the CPU.

  The keyword assignment function 60f determines whether or not the keyword stored in the storage unit 64 is included in the text converted by the speech recognition function 60e. If the keyword is included, the keyword is determined based on the basic information. A process of assigning to a set of a plurality of divided files and storing them in the storage unit 64 for each group of the divided files based on each basic information is performed. That is, the storage unit 64 stores a plurality of sets of divided files based on the base information, and keywords are assigned to the sets.

  The menu display function 60c is a recipe for all or a part of each keyword stored in the storage unit 64 displayed on the screen 30 of the image display device 3 as a difference from any of the first to fourth embodiments. When an instruction for selecting a desired keyword from each keyword is input via the interface 61 in the menu, processing for setting the instruction as a division information menu display instruction of the first embodiment is executed. That is, a division information menu display for displaying a division information menu for all or part of a plurality of pieces of division information corresponding to a desired dish (basic information) designated by a desired keyword on the screen 30 of the image display device 3. It is an instruction.

  As a specific example, the recipe menu is an initial menu displayed at the time of activation, and has a configuration in which up and down arrows are arranged on the right side and a table including a plurality of rows in at least one column is included. This table can be scrolled in the direction of the arrow touched by touching one of the up and down arrows with a finger, and a software configuration that enables selection of any one of the keywords as each item It has become. Then, touch the desired keyword twice with a finger in a so-called double-click manner, or touch the desired keyword once with a finger and then touch the image button containing another “OK” character with the finger. The instruction for selecting a desired keyword is fixed. In addition to this, when a keyword is included and touched with a finger, a predetermined number of image buttons for confirming an instruction to select the keyword are included, and all the keywords are displayed by the predetermined number of image buttons. A menu including switching display image buttons for sequentially displaying a predetermined number of similar image buttons containing the remaining keywords when the remaining keywords cannot be used may be used as a recipe menu.

  Here, the search function is indispensable in the configuration in which the cooking program is stored in the storage unit 64 as a recipe. As a recipe search keyword, a material name or a dish name is often used. However, as the number of stored recipes increases, the task of assigning the search keyword to each recipe becomes very troublesome. For example, a configuration in which a keyword of a cooking program is downloaded from a web server and automatically registered based on a preset cooking program name and broadcasting date is conceivable, but the burden of setting work varies from user to provider. This is not a solution that eliminates the burden of setting work.

  Therefore, in the fifth embodiment, by utilizing the fact that the description of the material is always included in the narration of the cooking program, keywords are automatically extracted from the narration and assigned to a set of a plurality of corresponding divided files. is there. In addition, since the ingredients are usually introduced before cooking, the audio information of the first and second divided files among the plurality of divided files based on the basic information, or a predetermined time from the start time in the plurality of divided files ( The keyword search time can be shortened by searching for a keyword from voice information within (for example, 5 minutes).

  As described above, according to the fifth embodiment, it is possible to select a desired dish from the recipe menu based on the keyword, and it is possible to eliminate the trouble of assigning the keyword to each set of a plurality of divided files. Moreover, a recipe database can be constructed automatically.

  In the fifth embodiment, the recipe menu is an initial menu displayed at the time of activation. However, the recipe menu is not limited to this, and may be a hierarchically subsequent menu that is switched by an input from the touch panel 4 from the initial menu. In this case, the menu display function 60c receives a recipe menu display instruction for displaying a recipe menu for all or a part of each keyword stored in the storage unit 64 on the screen of the image display device 3 by using the touch panel 4 from a predetermined menu. When input via the interface 61, an image signal including all or part of each keyword is generated, and processing for outputting this image signal to the image display device 3 via the interface 63 is performed. Good. As a result, the recipe menu is displayed from the predetermined menu on the screen 30 of the image display device 3.

  In the first to fifth embodiments, the menu creation function 60b represents the contents of the divided file for each divided file of the plurality of divided files based on the moving image information corresponding to the divided file and the divided information. When the image information (thumbnail image) that is the menu item is created, but the above keyword is included in the audio information corresponding to the divided file, the thumbnail corresponding to the time zone when the keyword was obtained. It may be configured to create image information in which the keyword is written in parallel with the image. In addition, if you add more words that can be used in cooking, for example, to understand the contents of the keyword, you can omit the thumbnail image and create image information that consists only of the keyword in the fixed phrase. The same effect as when using is obtained.

(Embodiment 6)
In the cooking recipe editing / presentation system according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention, as a difference from the fifth embodiment, the storage unit 64 stores various terms constituting a cooking title, and the control unit 60 uses the keyword assignment function 60f. Instead, it has a title assignment function. The various terms are not limited to the storage unit 64, and may be stored in a nonvolatile semiconductor storage device such as a ROM or an EEPROM.

  The title assignment function determines whether or not the term stored in the storage unit 64 is included in the text converted by the speech recognition function 60e, and if the term is included, from the sentence including the term. A cooking title (cooking name) is determined, the title is assigned to a set of a plurality of divided files based on the corresponding basic information, and stored in the storage unit 64 for each of the plurality of divided files based on the basic information. Is. That is, the storage unit 64 stores a plurality of sets of divided files based on the base information, and titles are assigned to the sets.

  The menu display function 60c is different from that of the fifth embodiment in a recipe menu for all or part of each title stored in the storage unit 64 displayed on the screen 30 of the image display device 3. When an instruction to select a desired title from the respective titles is input via the interface 61, a process of using the instruction as a division information menu display instruction is executed. That is, a division information menu display instruction for displaying on the screen 30 of the image display device 3 a division information menu for all or part of a plurality of pieces of division information corresponding to a desired dish specified by a desired title. It is.

  As a specific example, the recipe menu is an initial menu displayed at the time of activation, and has a configuration in which up and down arrows are arranged on the right side and a table including a plurality of rows in at least one column is included. This table can be scrolled in the direction of the arrow touched by touching one of the up and down arrows with a finger, and a software configuration that enables selection of any one of the titles as each item It has become. Then, touch the desired title twice with your finger in a double-click manner, or touch the desired keyword once with your finger and then touch the image button containing another “OK” character with your finger. An instruction to select a desired title is confirmed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a predetermined number of image buttons for confirming an instruction for selecting the title when the finger is included and touched with a finger are displayed, and all the titles are displayed by the predetermined number of image buttons. A menu including switching display image buttons for sequentially displaying a predetermined number of similar image buttons including the remaining titles when the remaining titles cannot be used may be used as a recipe menu.

  Here, when viewing the demonstration by one of multiple divided files about cooking, it is convenient to set a title, and in recipe search, the cooking name is often used as a keyword, so the cooking name Setting the name as the title improves usability. However, as with the keyword in the fifth embodiment, the task of assigning a title to each recipe becomes very troublesome, and in this sixth embodiment, the title is automatically assigned to a set of a plurality of divided files. .

  When a dish name is a title, unlike a keyword, it is very difficult to store various title candidates as a dictionary in the storage unit 64 in advance. For example, in the case of spaghetti, not only the classics such as meat sauce and carbonara, but also the names of dishes that change depending on the ingredients used, such as "tomato and basil ...", "tuna and asparagus ...", "mushroom cream ..." This is because there are many. In addition, even a classic dish may be given a modifier such as “... Carbonara”, so it is very difficult to narrow down the name candidates.

  Therefore, in the sixth embodiment, the storage unit 64 stores various basic terms (words such as spaghetti, broiled, sautéed, simmered, and gratin) that constitute a dish name, and includes the terms from narration, for example, Extract the sentence “Today we will make ~”.

  As described above, according to the sixth embodiment, it is possible to select a desired dish from the recipe menu based on the title, and it is possible to eliminate the trouble of assigning the title to each set of a plurality of divided files. Moreover, a recipe database can be constructed automatically.

  In the sixth embodiment, the recipe menu is an initial menu displayed at the time of activation. However, the recipe menu is not limited to this, and may be a hierarchically subsequent menu switched from the initial menu by an input on the touch panel 4. In this case, the menu display function 60c receives a recipe menu display instruction for displaying a recipe menu for all or part of each title stored in the storage unit 64 on the screen of the image display device 3 from the predetermined menu using the touch panel 4. When the image signal is input via the interface 61, an image signal including all or part of each title is generated, and the image signal is output to the image display device 3 via the interface 63. Good. As a result, the recipe menu is displayed from the predetermined menu on the screen 30 of the image display device 3.

  As a modification of the fifth and sixth embodiments, the automatic editing / playback apparatus 6 has, for example, a Japanese input function, and automatically displays a keyword or title set on the screen 30 of the image display apparatus 3. An input field for correction and a keyboard image for Japanese input, for example, can be displayed, and the automatically set keyword or title can be corrected with the character string input to the input field using the keyboard image. You may do it.
