Description

  The present invention relates to a moving image content editing program, server, apparatus, and method. In particular, the present invention relates to a user interface in simple video editing for CGM (Customer Generation Media).

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is an apparatus that can store moving image content including video and audio in a storage device such as a hard disk and edit (for example, trimming or clipping). For example, editing can be performed using a home AV (Audio-Visual) device or a personal computer. Such an apparatus reproduces content and simultaneously receives an editing operation from the user, and edits the content according to the operation.

  As a user interface displayed on the display for editing the moving image content, “timeline editing” is usually used. According to timeline editing, it has a user interface in which images constituting a story are arranged in time series in the time series flow of moving image content. This facilitates visual editing for the user. The user can move the position (time) of the image displayed on the timeline to another position or overwrite another position on the position. Further, the present invention is not limited to image processing, and BGM (Back Ground Music) and sound effects can be inserted.

  In recent years, according to the timeline editing technology, “Storyboard” has attracted attention. A storyboard is a timeline in which a plurality of thumbnails of the first frame are arranged in time series each time a scene (scene) is switched. As a result, the user can easily replace or add in units of scenes visually. According to the storyboard, the moving image content is composed of a plurality of content objects. The content object is a container timeline type derived from the TimelineGroup class, and can store an arbitrary type of Timeline.

  FIG. 1 is a display example of a storyboard in the prior art.

  According to FIG. 1, a play view for reproducing a designated content object, a content object list, and a storyboard are displayed.

  The basic editing operation in the storyboard is drag and drop, and the trimmed content object (cut object) is moved. As a result, the content objects are combined in time series, and the playback order is changed.

  As another editing operation, a scene switching effect (transition) can be set. Transition operations can be operated intuitively with the feeling of placing a transition with the mouse in the storyboard.

  As another technique, there is a technique for editing image content stored in a server with a terminal (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to this technique, the terminal receives a thumbnail image in the image content from the server, and generates and edits playlist data indicating a playback procedure of the thumbnail image. In the playlist data, thumbnail images can be freely arranged based on user operations.

There is also a technique for automatically editing moving image content (see, for example, Patent Document 2). According to this technology, editing scenarios (guidance data) for each of the divided shooting data
Are associated. The moving image content is automatically edited according to the guidance data.

JP 2004-336343 A Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-039685 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-066087 JP 2007-127771 A JP 2006-254486 A

  According to the technique described in Patent Literature 1, a plurality of thumbnails acquired from a server can be arranged only on a single timeline. In one screen of the user interface, it is not possible to manage and generate a plurality of editing scenarios in which some data differs depending on the editing status and contents.

  In addition, the number of thumbnail images received from the server affects the operability of editing. If the number of thumbnails is small, the editing operability in a small part is degraded, and if the number of thumbnails is large, it takes time to create an editing scenario and the editing operability is degraded. Also, if the number of thumbnails is large, it is difficult to display all thumbnails at the same time, and it takes time and effort to create an editing scenario according to the user's wishes, and editing operability on a mobile terminal with a small display size is also possible. descend.

  According to the technique described in Patent Document 2, it is necessary to prepare a detailed editing scenario before shooting a video (before creating moving image content). In other words, after creating an editing scenario, it is necessary to shoot with a video camera. Furthermore, it is necessary to have a one-to-one correspondence between each editing scenario and each edited video scene. Scenes that are not in the editing scenario cannot be mixed in the generated video.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  The moving image content is composed of a plurality of content objects divided in time. The moving image content may be video and audio such as those shot with a home video camera. The content object may be divided for each scene based on scene (scene) detection, or may be divided for every predetermined unit time.

  According to the present invention, the content object constituting the moving image content includes a plurality of tag information related to the content. The tag information is a keyword assumed by the user in the editing operation, and may be, for example, the name of a person shown in the video of the content object. In the case of moving image content shot of a children's athletic meet, the child's name shown in the video is suitable for tag information. The content object further includes time. Further, the content object may include information describing an event name and a scene such as a sporting event of an athletic meet, for example.

  FIG. 2 is a functional configuration diagram of a terminal according to the present invention.

  According to FIG. 2, the user performs an editing operation on the moving image content using the terminal 1. The terminal 1 may receive moving image content from the video camera 2 via a cable (or network). The terminal 1 may be, for example, a personal computer or a mobile terminal.

  The terminal 1 includes a display unit 10 that displays a visual user interface, a user operation unit 11 that receives an operation from a user such as a mouse, a content storage unit 12 that stores moving image content, and a user interface control unit 13. And a content generation unit 14. The terminal 1 also includes a communication interface unit 19 connected to a cable from the video camera 2 and a content receiving unit 15 that receives moving image content from the video camera 2 via the communication interface unit 19. The moving image content received from the video camera 2 is stored in the content storage unit 12.

Display in parallel with the timeline. When the content object includes time, the content object on the timeline is displayed in time series.

  It is also preferable that the user inputs specific tag information to the user operation unit 11. Using the tag information input by the user as a key, a content object is searched from the content storage unit 12. The retrieved content object is displayed on the display unit 10 in a timeline by the user interface control unit 13. As a result, the user can perform an editing operation on the content object including the specific tag information.

  The content generation unit 14 combines content objects for each timeline. Accordingly, it is possible to generate the first moving image content including a plurality of content objects including the first tag information and the second moving image content including a plurality of content objects including the second tag information.

  Furthermore, the terminal 1 preferably further includes a face image registration unit 16, a face authentication unit 17, a tag information addition unit 18, a content reception unit 15, and a communication interface unit 19. The face image registration unit 16 registers a person's name and the person's face image in advance. Further, the face authentication unit 17 authenticates the face image stored in the face image registration unit 16 from the content object video, and derives the name of the person. The facial recognition system is a function that is generally installed in digital cameras.

  The tag information adding unit 18 adds the person name output from the face authentication unit 17 to the content object as tag information. The content object to which the tag information is added is stored in the content storage unit 12.

  Further, the tag information adding unit 18 may automatically add tag information to the content object by detecting a scene, a scene change frequency, a silence ratio, and the like. As a scene detection technique in the server, for example, the technique described in Patent Document 3 can be used. For example, the technique described in Patent Document 4 can be used as a technique for detecting characters and conversation scenes. Furthermore, for example, a technique described in Patent Document 5 can be used as a scene change detection technique.

  Further, the tag information added to the content object may be input and set by the photographer for the moving image content. For example, an event name such as a sporting event of an athletic meet is added as tag information.

  Note that the functions of the face image registration unit, the face authentication unit, and the tag information addition unit described above may be installed in the video camera 2. In this case, it is not necessary to install these functions in the terminal 1. Many digital video cameras in recent years are already equipped with a face recognition system. Therefore, it is also preferable that the moving image content output from the video camera 2 already includes tag information in each content object.
