  Here, a case where a bookmark is added to a recorded or already recorded television broadcast program will be described as an example. However, the present invention can be similarly applied to other contents including image data. it can.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the image data of the program being recorded or the image data of the program already recorded on the recording medium 16 being reproduced by the reproduction unit 17 is input to the input unit 11. This is supplied to the recording control unit 15.

  The bookmark information acquisition unit 12 acquires information (hereinafter referred to as bookmark information) necessary for generating a bookmark display from the image data supplied from the input unit 11 in accordance with the control of the control unit 20, and a menu screen. This is supplied to the display control unit 13.

  Under the control of the control unit 20, the menu screen display control unit 13 extracts bookmark information for generating a menu screen from the bookmark information supplied from the bookmark information acquisition unit 12 and stores the bookmark information in the storage unit 14.

  The menu screen display control unit 13 also generates a bookmark display from the bookmark information stored in the storage unit 14 according to the control of the control unit 20, and attaches the generated bookmark display to the bookmark as shown in FIG. A menu screen is generated for each scene and displayed on the display unit 18.

  The recording control unit 15 records the image data supplied from the input unit 11 on the recording medium 16 according to the control of the control unit 20.

  The reproduction unit 17 reproduces separately input image data or image data recorded on the recording medium 16 under the control of the control unit 20 and supplies the image data to the display unit 18 and the input unit 11.

  The operation unit 19 includes various buttons and a reception unit that receives control signals from the remote controller, and inputs operation contents of various buttons and the like of the user and notifies the control unit 20 of them.

  The control unit 20 controls each unit and executes bookmark processing and the like described later.

  Next, a configuration example of the bookmark information acquisition unit 12 will be described.

  The scene change detection unit 31 analyzes the image data supplied from the input unit 11 and detects a scene change. For example, a point at which the main part of a program is switched to a commercial, a point at which a night scene is switched to a daytime scene, or a point at which an appearing person or object is switched is detected as a scene change.

  When the scene change detection unit 31 detects a scene change, the scene change detection unit 31 supplies the fact to the thumbnail image generation unit 32 and the menu screen display control unit 13.

  For example, when the scene change detection unit 31 notifies that the scene change has been detected, the thumbnail image generation unit 32 generates a thumbnail image from the image data having the scene change, and supplies the thumbnail image to the menu screen display control unit 13. .

  The additional information extraction unit 33 receives image data from the input unit 11 and EPG information separately.

  For example, when character information of closed captioning is multiplexed on the image supplied to the additional information extraction unit 33, the feature amount corresponding to the character information is supplied from the feature amount extraction unit 52. Therefore, the keyword extraction unit 53 generates character information (that is, text) corresponding to the feature amount and supplies it to the menu screen display control unit 13.

  Even if character information is not included, for example, when an image of a predetermined object such as “mountain” or “castle” is included, feature amounts corresponding to those images are supplied from the feature amount extraction unit 52. Therefore, the keyword extraction unit 53 selects a keyword (for example, the words “mountain” and “castle”, and the names of the “mountain” and “castle” if the names can be specified) corresponding to the feature amount). Extracted and supplied to the menu screen display control unit 13.

  Next, bookmark processing of the recording / reproducing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 1, the control unit 20 of the recording / reproducing apparatus 1 controls the reproducing unit 17 to reproduce separately input image data or image data already recorded on the recording medium 16.

  As a result, the image data reproduced by the reproduction unit 17 is displayed on the display unit 18 and input to the input unit 11. The input unit 11 supplies the input image data to the recording control unit 15 and the bookmark information acquisition unit 12. Note that when the image data recorded on the recording medium 16 is reproduced, the input unit 11 does not supply the image data to the recording control unit 15.

  Next, in step S <b> 2, the control unit 20 controls the bookmark information acquisition unit 12 to start acquiring bookmark information.

  As a result, the bookmark information acquisition unit 12 starts acquiring bookmark information from the image data supplied from the input unit 11.

  That is, the scene change detection unit 31 starts detection of a scene change, the thumbnail image generation unit 32 starts generation of a thumbnail image, and the additional information extraction unit 33 starts extraction of additional information.

  In step S3, the control unit 20 waits until the operation unit 19 inputs that a bookmark operation for attaching a bookmark to the image being reproduced has been input. If it is determined that the input has been made, step S4 is performed. The menu screen display control unit 13 is instructed to acquire bookmark information for generating a menu screen. Thereby, the menu screen display control unit 13 acquires the scene change position detected immediately before the scene when the bookmark operation is performed, for example, and sets the position of the image as the image to which the bookmark is attached. To detect.

  For example, when a scene as shown in FIG. 6 is reproduced in order from the scene C1 on the left side of the drawing and displayed on the display unit 18, a bookmark operation is performed when the scene C6 indicated by the upward arrow A is displayed. In this case, a bookmark is added to the scene C4 indicated by the upward arrow B and detected by the scene change detection unit 31 and having a scene change from a mountain landscape image to a human face image.

  In step S5, the menu screen display control unit 13 attaches a bookmark from the thumbnail image and the additional information supplied from the bookmark information acquisition unit 12 (the thumbnail image generation unit 32 and the additional information extraction unit 33). The thumbnail image and additional information acquired from the selected image (frame C4 in the example of FIG. 6) are extracted and stored in the storage unit 14 as bookmark information for generating a menu screen.

  When the closed caption character information is multiplexed on the video content to be bookmarked, the character information (that is, text) extracted from the character image supplied from the bookmark information acquisition unit 12 is stored in the storage unit 14. Is remembered.

  Even if character information is not included, for example, when an image of an object such as “mountain” or “castle” is included, the bookmark information acquisition unit 12 supplies the image extracted from the image. A word meaning an object (for example, words of “mountain” or “castle”) or the name of the object is stored in the storage unit 14.

  Next, in step S6, the control unit 20 determines whether or not a command to end the reproduction of the image data is input from the operation unit 19, and if it is determined that it is not input, the control unit 20 returns to step S3, Wait until the bookmark operation is performed again.

  When an instruction to end the reproduction of the image data is input in step S6, the control unit 20 ends the bookmark process.

  Next, menu screen display processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the menu screen display control unit 13 receives a menu screen display command from the control unit 20, in step S11, the menu screen display control unit 13 reads bookmark information for generating the menu screen stored in the bookmark processing described above from the storage unit 14. .

  In step S12, the menu screen display control unit 13 generates a bookmark display from the bookmark information read in step S11. For example, when character information is stored as bookmark information, a predetermined word (for example, “home run of Takesaka” in the example of FIG. 3) is extracted from the character information, or a thumbnail image or title is displayed. Generate data for

  The menu screen display control unit 13 arranges the generated bookmark display so as to be displayed for each scene with a bookmark, as shown in FIG. 3, generates a menu screen, and displays it on the display unit 18. .

  In this way, a menu screen on which a bookmark display is displayed for each scene with a bookmark is presented to the user.

  As described above, during the reproduction process of the image data recorded on the recording medium 16 or the image data already recorded on the recording medium 16, a bookmark operation for the scene being reproduced from the user is received and the timing of the operation is received. A bookmark is attached to the scene corresponding to, a bookmark display is generated based on the additional information obtained from the scene, and a menu screen arranged so that the bookmark display is displayed for each scene with the bookmark is displayed. Thus, the user can easily find the scene he / she wants to view from the menu screen.

  Even if the timing of the bookmark operation is delayed, for example, since the bookmark is retroactively attached to the scene having the previous scene change, the bookmark can be appropriately attached. In the example of FIG. 6, a bookmark can be attached to the scene C <b> 4 where the human face image has started to be displayed.

  In addition, if the text information of the closed caption is multiplexed in the bookmarked scene, the text information can be displayed as a bookmark display, so the closed caption text explains the contents of the scene. Therefore, a comment (such as “Takesaka's home run” in the example of FIG. 3) that appropriately represents the scene can be displayed as a bookmark display.

  When a predetermined bookmark display on the menu screen as shown in FIG. 3 is selected by the user's operation on the operation unit 19, playback is started from a scene corresponding to the bookmark display. For example, as bookmark information, It is also possible to retain a scene change point after the bookmarked scene, play back to that scene change point, and then stop playback.

  FIG. 8 shows another configuration example of the recording / reproducing apparatus 1. In this recording / reproducing apparatus, an image dividing unit 61 is further provided in the recording / reproducing apparatus 1 of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the recording / playback apparatus 1 of FIG. 8 designates an arbitrary position of a scene being played back by a pointer 19A by a predetermined operation on the operation unit 19 by a user, an area corresponding to the position is displayed. Additional information is extracted from the image data.

  That is, when an indication that a predetermined position is designated by the pointer 19A is input from the operation unit 19 during reproduction, the control unit 20 notifies the image dividing unit 61 of the position.

  The image dividing unit 61 extracts image data of an area corresponding to the position notified from the control unit 20 (in the example of FIG. 9, a human image area) from the image data supplied from the input unit 11. The image data is supplied to the thumbnail image generation unit 32 and the additional information extraction unit 33.

  The thumbnail image generating unit 32 generates a thumbnail image from the divided images supplied from the image dividing unit 61 and supplies the thumbnail images to the menu screen display control unit 13.

  The additional information extracting unit 33 extracts additional information from the feature amount of the divided image supplied from the image dividing unit 61 and supplies the additional information to the menu screen display control unit 13. In the case of the example of FIG. 9, the additional information extraction unit 33 recognizes that the image is a human image from the image data supplied from the image dividing unit 61 and informs the menu screen display control unit 13 that the image is a human image. Notice. When the face image of the person supplied from the image dividing unit 61 is recognized and the name of the recognized person can be specified, the specified name or the like can be notified to the menu screen display control unit 13.

  The menu screen display control unit 13 stores the thumbnail image supplied from the thumbnail image generation unit 32 and the additional information supplied from the additional information extraction unit 33 in the storage unit 14 as bookmark information for generating a menu screen.

  Since the predetermined area can be designated together with the scene to be noticed in this way, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, in the example of FIG. When the pitcher image is designated, a comment corresponding to the pitcher (for example, “Ueno hits home run”) can be displayed as a bookmark display, as shown in FIG.
