Similarly, the image evaluation unit 54 also evaluates the content many times until the playback of the content is completed. Therefore, when evaluating with fun as an example, image data including the smiling face of the user is acquired. The higher the number of times, the higher the score may be.

The evaluation result output unit 60 causes the display unit 72 of the display device 70 to display the content list 62 including the content evaluated by the information evaluation unit 50 based on the evaluation result stored in the storage unit 20. More specifically, when an operation input signal for displaying a list of contents stored in the storage unit 20 is input from the operation input unit 12 to the control unit 10, the control unit 10 displays a list of contents. The control signal for performing the above is output to the evaluation result output unit 60. When this control signal is input to the evaluation result output unit 60, the evaluation result output unit 60 displays a list of contents based on the result evaluated by the information evaluation unit 50 stored in the storage unit 20. The video data of 62 is created, and the created video data is output to the video processing unit 16. The video processing unit 16 converts the video data output from the evaluation result output unit 60 into a video output signal and outputs the video data to the display unit 72 of the display device 70. The display unit 72 displays the content list 62 based on the video output signal output from the video processing unit 16.

As a method of displaying the content list 62 created by the evaluation result output unit 60, the contents stored in the storage unit 20 are stored in the order of high evaluation or low evaluation based on the evaluation results stored in the storage unit 20. There is a way to display them side by side. For example, when a score is given according to the strength of emotion as an evaluation of data representing a user's emotion, the contents stored in the storage unit 20 are displayed side by side in descending order of the score. In addition to the title of the content, the content list 62 may display information such as a description of the content and the broadcast date and time of the content. Further, the content list 62 may display the evaluation result of the content stored in the storage unit 20 together with information such as the title of the content. FIG. 2 is an example of a content list 62 created by the evaluation result output unit 60 and displayed on the display unit 72. In the content list 62 shown in FIG. 2, the score and the title of the content given according to the strength of the emotion are displayed, and are arranged from the top in descending order of the score.

When the content list 62 is displayed on the display unit 72, the user sees the content list 62 displayed based on the evaluation result, and the user sees the content that was interesting, the content that was impressed, or the content that was excited among the contents that were previously viewed. It is possible to confirm the content that is strongly moved by emotions such as. In this way, the content list 62 can be utilized as reference information when the user selects the content to be played.

Next, the operation of evaluating the content in the evaluation device 1 will be described. First, when the user's voice is acquired as external information, the operation of evaluating the content based on the user's voice will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an operation in which the evaluation device 1 evaluates the content based on the voice.

As shown in FIG. 3, first, when an operation input signal for reproducing the content stored in the storage unit 20 is input to the control unit 10 by a user operation or the like, the control unit 10 is designated. Playback of the content is started, the video of the content is displayed on the display unit 72 of the display device 70, and the audio of the content is output from the audio output unit 74 (step ST1).

When the reproduction of the content is started, the voice acquisition unit 32 acquires the voice of the user who views the reproduced content (step ST2).

If the voice determination unit 42 determines that the voice data representing the user's emotion is not included, the process proceeds to step ST6 (step ST3: NO).

When it is determined that the voice data acquired by the voice acquisition unit 32 includes voice data representing the user's emotion, the voice evaluation unit 52 evaluates the voice data representing the user's emotion (step ST4). Then, the voice evaluation unit 52 saves the evaluation result in the storage unit 20 (step ST5), and proceeds to step ST6.

In step ST6, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the reproduction of the content is completed. When it is determined that the reproduction of the content is completed, the operation of evaluating the content is terminated (step ST6: YES). If it is determined that the playback of the content has not been completed, the process returns to step ST2 and the operation of evaluating the content is continued (step ST6: NO).

Subsequently, an operation of evaluating the content based on the user's image when the user's image is acquired as external information will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an operation in which the evaluation device 1 evaluates the content based on the image.

First, playback of the content is started in the same manner as the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 (step ST1). When the reproduction of the content is started, the image acquisition unit 34 acquires the image of the user who views the reproduced content (step ST12). For example, in the case of a still image, the image acquisition is performed at preset time intervals, and in the case of a moving image, the image acquisition is performed while the preset time elapses. The image acquisition unit 34 outputs the acquired image data to the image determination unit 44.

When the image data is input from the image acquisition unit 34 to the image determination unit 44, the image determination unit 44 determines whether or not the image data acquired by the image acquisition unit 34 includes image data representing the user's emotions. Determination (step ST13). When the image determination unit 44 determines that the image data representing the user's emotion is included, the process proceeds to step ST14 (step ST13: YES). If the image determination unit 44 determines that the image data representing the user's emotion is not included, the process proceeds to step ST6 (step ST13: NO).

When it is determined that the image data acquired by the image acquisition unit 34 contains the image data representing the user's emotion, the image evaluation unit 54 evaluates the image data representing the user's emotion (step ST14). Then, the image evaluation unit 54 stores the evaluation result in the storage unit 20 (step ST15), and proceeds to step ST6.

Similar to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, in step ST6, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the reproduction of the content is completed. When it is determined that the reproduction of the content is completed, the operation of evaluating the content is terminated (step ST6: YES). If it is determined that the playback of the content has not been completed, the process returns to step ST12, and the operation of evaluating the content is continued (step ST6: NO).

As described above, the evaluation device 1 according to the present embodiment can store the content in the storage unit 20, and the control unit 10 for displaying the content on the display unit 72 and the information acquisition unit 30.
