  The secondary storage device 106 is composed of, for example, a hard disk, a DVD or a CD and their drives, a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory, a removable hard disk such as an iVDR, and the like. Data to be processed in the apparatus, moving image data to be reproduced, first chapter data, second chapter data, etc. described later are stored.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the video playback apparatus according to the present embodiment. Some or all of these functional blocks may be realized as hardware in addition to the hardware shown in FIG. 2, or may be realized as a software program executed by the central processing unit 101. In the following description, it is assumed that all of these functional blocks are software programs executed by the central processing unit 101 as an example.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the moving image reproducing apparatus of the present invention includes a moving image data input unit 201, a first chapter data input unit 202, a chapter management unit 203, a skip designation unit 204, a skip position acquisition unit 205, and a reproduction. A control unit 206, an audio output unit 207, a display unit 208, and a control unit 209 are included. Moreover, it comprises a moving image data dividing unit 210, a second chapter data setting unit 211, a dubbing unit 212, and a playlist reproduction instruction unit 213 as necessary.

  Hereinafter, each component in FIG. 2 will be described.

  The moving image data input unit 201 inputs moving image data from the storage device 105 or the secondary storage device 106 or via a LAN card.

  The first chapter data input unit 202 receives the first chapter data corresponding to the moving image data to be played back selected by the control unit 209, which will be described later, from the storage device 105 or the secondary storage device 106, or from the network via a LAN card. input. This is because, for example, data having the same file name as the moving image data to be reproduced selected by the control unit 209 and having a predetermined extension is transferred from the storage device 105 or the secondary storage device 106 or via a LAN card to the network. It can be realized by acquiring from. The first chapter data may be chapter data separately set by the user or may be chapter data set separately outside the apparatus. However, for convenience, the first chapter data is mechanically or automatically by the apparatus or another apparatus. It is set chapter data. As a method and apparatus for setting a chapter mechanically or automatically, a known technique such as detecting a CM and setting a chapter at the end of the CM section can be applied. Here, the first chapter data has a data structure shown in FIG. 3, for example.

  FIG. 3 is an example of the data structure of the first chapter data.

  In FIG. 3, reference numeral 301 denotes a chapter number, which is a number or a numerical value assigned sequentially to the chapter. Reference numeral 302 denotes a chapter position, which is the time of the chapter in the moving image data. Reference numerals 311 to 313 each represent one chapter, and in this example, there are three chapters. In this description, the chapter number 301 is a numerical value that is sequentially assigned to the chapter. However, the present invention is not limited to this and may be a unique ID value for the chapter. Further, this chapter number 301 is not necessarily required, and can be deleted. In this description, the chapter position is described as “time in moving image data”, but is not limited thereto, and may be, for example, “video frame number in moving image data” or the like, and indicates a position in moving image data. Anything can be used.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the chapter management unit 203 is based on the second chapter data set by the second chapter data setting unit 211 described later and the first chapter data input by the first chapter data input means. Thus, the chapter of the moving image data is managed. Details of processing contents of the chapter management unit 203 will be described later.

  The skip designation unit 204 instructs the later-described reproduction control unit 206 via the input device 102 to skip to the next chapter in the moving image data currently being reproduced.

  The skip position acquisition unit 205 acquires the skip position based on the chapter managed by the chapter management unit 203 when the skip is specified by the skip specification unit 204. In particular, the current playback position in the current playback video data is input from the playback control unit 206 described later, the next chapter position is acquired from the current playback position and the chapter data managed by the chapter management unit 203, and the next Is notified to the playback control unit 206. This is because each chapter position listed in the chapter data managed by the chapter management unit 203 is compared with the current reproduction position input from the reproduction control unit 206, and after a certain time later than the current reproduction position. This can be realized by acquiring a chapter position that is earlier in time and notifying the playback control unit 206 of the chapter position.

  The playback control unit 206 inputs the video data to be played back selected by the control unit 209 described later from the video data input unit 201, generates a playback image and playback audio, and displays a display unit 208 described below and a sound output unit described later. It outputs to 207. At this time, if the first chapter data is valid at the time of reproduction of the moving image data, the reproduction control unit 206 displays an icon indicating that on the display means. When skip is instructed from the skip specification unit 204 during playback, the current playback position is obtained, notified to the skip position acquisition unit 205, and the next chapter position is acquired from the skip position acquisition unit 205. Then, jump to the next chapter position and continue playback. At this time, if the first chapter data is valid when skip is specified by the user by the skip specifying means, the chapter position based on the first chapter data is displayed on the display means. The processing content and display screen in the playback control unit 206 will be described in detail later.

  The audio output unit 207 outputs the audio reproduced by the reproduction control unit 206 to the audio output device 104.

  The display unit 208 displays the playback video by the playback control unit 206 on the display device 103. In addition, the control unit 209 described later displays a menu image for the user to select a playback moving image.

  The control unit 209 is activated in this video playback device when the user instructs playback of video data via the input device 102, and the playback control unit 206 uses video data that can be input by the video data input unit 201. Thus, the replayable moving image data is displayed as a menu image on the display unit 208 as a list. At this time, an icon is superimposed and displayed on the item position of the corresponding moving image data on the list display with respect to the moving image data for which the first chapter data is determined to be valid by the chapter management unit 203. In addition, when the moving image data to be reproduced is designated by the user, the moving image data is notified to the reproduction control unit 206 and the first chapter data input unit 202, and the moving image data to be reproduced and the moving image data to be reproduced are respectively notified. The corresponding first chapter data can be acquired. Note that the processing content of the control unit 209 and an example of the menu image displayed on the control unit 209 will be described in detail later.

  The moving image data dividing unit 210 divides moving image data in accordance with an instruction from the user. This is because, for example, when the user gives a division instruction via the input device 102 while the reproduction control unit 206 reproduces the moving image data input by the moving image data input unit 201, the reproduction of the moving image data starts. The position and the position where the division instruction is given are stored as another moving picture data in the storage device 105 or the secondary storage apparatus 106, and another moving picture is obtained from the position where the division instruction of the moving picture data is given to the reproduction end position This can be realized by storing the data in the storage device 105 or the secondary storage device 106. Note that the moving image data dividing unit 211 may be configured to invalidate the corresponding first chapter data when dividing moving image data. For example, the first chapter data, which is a file having the same name as the file name of the divided moving image data and having a predetermined extension, is searched from the storage device 105 or the secondary storage device 106 or via a LAN card and determined in advance. This can be realized by changing the file name to the specified extension.

  The second chapter data setting unit 211 sets second chapter data for the moving image data input by the moving image data input unit 201 in accordance with an instruction from the user. For example, this may be configured to be executed when the user instructs the second chapter data setting of the moving image data designated by the input device 102 on the menu screen displayed by the control unit 209.

  Now, when the 2nd chapter data setting part 211 is performed, the said 2nd chapter data setting part 211 will display the chapter setting screen shown in FIG. 4 on the said display means.

  FIG. 4 is an example of a chapter setting screen. In FIG. 4, 401 is a chapter setting screen display screen, 402 is a moving image display area, 403 is a travel bar that displays the playback position and chapter position, 404 is a message area, and 405 is an icon display area. On this screen, the user can set the second chapter by giving a chapter setting instruction from the input device 102 while operating the input device 102 to play or frame-by-frame playback of the moving image data. For example, this is based on the time of the chapter position on the moving image data by hitting a chapter setting instruction with the input device 102 at a favorite place while looking at the image displayed on the moving image display area 402 and the traveling bar 403. The second chapter data may be generated. When the second chapter data setting unit 211 is executed and the chapter setting screen 401 is displayed, it is determined whether or not the first chapter data of the target moving image data is valid. An icon indicating that may be displayed in the icon display area 405. Whether the first chapter data is valid is determined by, for example, storing the first chapter data file having the same file name as the moving image data and having a predetermined extension for the first chapter data in the storage device 105 or the secondary data. What is necessary is just to judge that it is effective when it searches from the memory | storage device 106, and is found, and when it does not find, it determines that it is invalid. If it is determined that the first chapter data is valid, a message indicating that the first chapter data is valid may be displayed in the message area 404. The data structure of the second chapter data generated by setting in the second chapter data setting unit 211 may be the same as the first chapter data described above. Separately, it is held in the storage device 105 or the secondary storage device 106. For example, the second chapter data held in the storage device 105 or the secondary storage device 106 may have a predetermined extension different from the moving image data and the first chapter data with the same file name as the moving image data. . In addition, when the second chapter data is set by the second chapter data setting unit 211, the second chapter data setting unit 211 is configured to invalidate the first chapter data of the corresponding moving image data. Also good. For example, the first chapter data file having the same file name as the generated second chapter data and having a predetermined extension for the first chapter data is searched from the storage device 105 or the secondary storage device 106. This can be realized by changing the extension to a predetermined extension and storing it again in the storage device 105 or the secondary storage device 106. In this case, the second chapter data setting unit 211 displays an icon indicating that the second chapter data is valid in the icon display area 405 and an icon indicating that the first chapter data is invalid. It is good to display. Alternatively, an icon indicating that the first chapter data is valid may be deleted. In the case of such a configuration, when the second chapter data setting unit 211 is executed and the chapter setting screen 401 is displayed, it is determined whether or not the first chapter data of the target moving image data is valid. If valid, a message indicating that the first chapter becomes invalid may be displayed in the message area 404 by setting the second chapter. Further, when the second chapter data setting unit 211 invalidates the first chapter data, the second chapter data set by the second chapter data setting unit 211 is erased and the first chapter data is set. The data may be revalidated. This can be realized, for example, by returning the extension of the file of the changed first chapter data. At this time, the second chapter data setting unit 211 displays an icon indicating that the second chapter data is invalid in the icon display area 405 or deletes the icon indicating that the second chapter data is valid. In addition, an icon indicating that the first chapter data is valid may be displayed. Alternatively, an icon indicating that the first chapter data is invalid may be deleted.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the dubbing unit 212 copies or moves the designated moving image data to the storage device 105 or the secondary storage device 106 in accordance with an instruction from the user. For example, this may be configured to be executed when the user instructs dubbing of the moving image data designated by the input device 102 on the menu screen displayed by the control unit 209. At this time, when copying or moving the moving image data without editing, the dubbing unit 212 copies or moves the first chapter data managed by the chapter management unit 203 to copy or move the moving image data. The first chapter data is also valid. On the other hand, when the video data is edited and copied or moved, that is, for example, re-encoded, the first chapter data is copied without being copied and moved. Alternatively, the first chapter data of the moving moving image data is invalidated. Or, when the moving image data is edited and copied or moved, the first chapter data of the copied moving image data is validated by editing and copying or moving the first chapter data accordingly. Configure as follows. For example, when re-encoding moving image data, the time information of each chapter in the first chapter data is set again in accordance with the time information of the re-encoded moving image data, and the first moving image data is encoded together with the encoded moving image data. It can also be realized by copying or moving chapter data.

  The playlist reproduction instruction unit 213 instructs to designate and reproduce a plurality of designated moving image data scenes in accordance with an instruction from the user. For example, when the user designates and reproduces one or more moving image data and one or more scenes for each of the moving image data on the menu screen displayed by the control unit 209, respectively. In addition, it can be assumed that a playlist reproduction instruction unit has been made to the regeneration control unit 206. In this case, the reproduction control unit 206 reproduces each scene of each moving image data designated by the playlist reproduction instruction unit 213, and during the reproduction, the chapter management unit 203 ignores the first chapter data, The first chapter data is configured to be temporarily invalid.

  Next, processing contents of the chapter management unit 203 of the present invention will be described in detail.

  As described above, the chapter management unit 203 manages chapters of the moving image data. Specifically, the chapter management unit 203 determines the chapter data of the reproduction moving image data in response to the inquiry from the skip position acquisition unit 205. This is configured such that when only the first chapter data input by the first chapter data input unit 202 is present, the skip position acquisition unit 205 acquires the skip position using only the first chapter data. Alternatively, when there is only the second chapter data set by the second chapter data setting unit 211 or when the first chapter data is invalid, the skip position acquisition unit 205 sets the skip position using only the second chapter data. Configure to get. Alternatively, when there is both the first chapter data and the second chapter data, the first chapter data and the second chapter data are merged to generate new chapter data, and the new chapter data is used. The skip position acquisition unit 205 may acquire the skip position. Alternatively, when there is both the first chapter data and the second chapter data, the user may be able to select either or both of the first chapter data and the second chapter data. Whether or not there is the first chapter data can be determined by determining whether or not the first chapter data input unit 202 has input the first chapter data. In addition, the determination of whether or not there is the second chapter data and the acquisition of the second chapter data are the same as the video data to be reproduced, but the second chapter data is different from the video data and the first chapter data. For example, it can be realized by determining whether or not a file having a predetermined extension is stored in the storage device 105 or the secondary storage device 106 and reading the file. Through the above-described processing of the chapter management unit 203, the first chapter data (for example, chapter data mechanically attached) and the second chapter data (for example, chapter data set by the user) can be used more suitably.

  Next, the processing content of the control part 203 of this invention is explained in full detail.

  As described above, the control unit 209 is activated by the video data input unit 201 in the video playback device, which is activated when the user instructs the playback of the video data via the input device 102. The moving image data reproducible by the reproduction control unit 206 is displayed as a list on the display unit 208 as a menu image.

  FIG. 5 is an example of a menu image displayed on the display unit 208 in the control unit 203.

  In FIG. 5, 501 is a menu screen, 511 to 514 are individual moving image data, 521 is an icon display area, 522 is a title display area, and 531 is an icon indicating that the first chapter data is valid.

  The control unit 209 displays the title names of moving image data that can be input by the moving image data input unit 201 and that can be reproduced by the reproduction control unit 206, while displaying the title names on 522 to 511 to 514. At this time, for each moving image data displayed in 511 to 514, for the moving image data determined by the chapter management unit 203 that the first chapter data is valid, the corresponding moving image data on the list display is displayed. An icon 531 is superimposed and displayed at the item position. When the moving image data to be reproduced is designated by the user, the moving image data is notified to the reproduction control unit 206 and the first chapter data input unit 202, and the reproduction control unit 206 and the first chapter data input unit 202 respectively. The moving image data to be reproduced and the first chapter data corresponding to the moving image data to be reproduced are obtained. For example, the designation of the moving image data to be played by the user is configured such that the title name of the moving image data selected by the operation of the input device 102 is highlighted, and for example, the input device 102 is connected to the remote controller. In such a case, the selected video data can be changed with the up / down buttons, etc., and the video data to be played back is specified when the selection of the highlighted video data is instructed with the decision button, etc. What is necessary is just to comprise. In addition, when the moving image data is selected and the input device 102 is a remote controller, for example, when the division button, the dubbing button, and the second chapter setting button are pressed by the user, the moving image data described above, respectively. What is necessary is just to comprise so that the division part 210, the dubbing part 212, and the 2nd chapter data setting part 211 may be started.

  Finally, the processing content of the reproduction control unit 206 of the present invention will be described in detail.

  As described above, the reproduction control unit 206 inputs the moving image data to be reproduced selected by the control unit 209 described later from the moving image data input unit 201, generates a reproduction image and reproduction audio, and displays the display unit 208 and the audio output unit. It outputs to 207. At this time, if the first chapter data corresponding to the reproduced moving image data is valid at the start of reproduction of the moving image data, the present reproduction control unit 206 displays an icon indicating that on the display unit for a certain period of time. .

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen displayed by the playback control unit 206 when starting playback of moving image data.

For example, the current playback time in the moving image data may be displayed in a 00:00:00 format, for example. Reference numeral 604 denotes a travel bar, which graphically displays the current playback position and chapter position. For example, when the first chapter data corresponding to the playback video data is valid, each chapter position (time) of the first chapter data and the current playback time in the video data are displayed on the travel bar. This is realized by marking the corresponding position with the length of the video data as the time of the moving image data. In FIG. 6, 641 and 642 indicate chapter positions, and 651 indicates the current reproduction position. Reference numeral 605 denotes a reproduction end position display area which displays a reproduction end time. For example, the reproduction end time of the moving image data may be displayed in, for example, 00:00:00 format. Reference numeral 606 denotes an icon displayed when the first chapter data corresponding to the reproduced moving image data is valid. Note that these playback position display area 603, travel bar 604, chapter positions 641 and 642, current playback position 651, playback end position display area 605, and icon 606 are always overlaid on the display screen 601 during playback of moving image data. However, it may be configured to be erased after being displayed for a certain time after the start of reproduction. Whether or not the first chapter data corresponding to the reproduced moving image data is valid is determined by the chapter management unit 203 whether or not the first chapter data of the reproduced moving image data can be input in the first chapter data input unit. It can be realized by doing.

  The playback control unit 206 obtains the current playback position when the skip is instructed from the skip specification unit 204 during playback of the moving image data, acquires the next chapter position from the skip position acquisition unit 205, and Jump to the next chapter position and continue playback. At this time, if the first chapter data is valid when skip is specified by the user by the skip specifying means, the chapter position based on the first chapter data is displayed on the display means.
