Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a technique for editing content including video data, material image data associated with the time position of the video data, and additional image data associated with the time position of the material image data. The present invention relates to a technique that enables video data to be deleted and edited while maintaining matching consistency between document image data and additional image data.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Services for distributing various contents to browsing clients such as personal computers and mobile terminals are widely implemented as specific area or wide area services.
There are various modes in such a content distribution system, but content data including video data is also distributed due to the development of network communication technology.
[0003]
The outline of the content distribution system is that various content data is registered in the distribution server, and when the browsing client accesses the distribution server to select and request a desired content, the distribution server responds to the content. It provides data to the browsing client.
[0004]
Such a system is a video data recording conferences, lectures, briefing sessions, etc. (in the present invention, these are called presentations) such as conferences, lectures, briefing sessions, presentations, etc. Is distributed as content, and is used for educational purposes, for example.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When distributing video data containing a presentation as content, the data of the document image used in the presentation is correlated with the time-position relationship that reproduces the scene actually used by presenting it to the audience, Similarly, it is required that images added as arrows or animations are associated with these material images in a similar manner, and the data of these material images and the additional images are associated with each other at time positions and collected as contents. With such a content structure, a user who browses the distributed content can view the contents of the presentation as a video image, and can view a document image and an additional image at the actual use timing. This is because an actual presentation can be reproduced faithfully and in detail.
[0006]
Here, in an actual presentation, there may occur a scene that is unsuitable or inappropriate for distribution to a viewing user. When such a scene occurs, the video data containing the presentation needs to be edited to delete the scene before making the content data for distribution.
However, simply cutting (deleting) a required portion of the video data breaks the correspondence between the material image data and the additional image data associated with the video data, and thus countermeasures have been required.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional circumstances, and an object thereof is to realize rational editing processing of content data.
Further objects of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, the content editing apparatus accepts an operator input for designating a deletion portion in the video data by the input means, and adds to the document image data and the document image associated with the video data portion designated for deletion by the determination means. The time position of the associated additional image data is determined, the video data portion designated for deletion by the deletion combining means is deleted, the video data is recombined, and the document image data and the additional image corresponding to the deleted portion A process of updating the data association time position corresponding to the deleted portion is performed, and the video data, the material image data associated with the time position of the video data, and the time position of the material image data are associated with each other. The content including the additional image data is maintained in a reasonable relationship when browsing the content. Edit.
[0009]
The content editing process can be performed by a content editing apparatus, but the content editing apparatus can be configured by causing a computer to execute a content editing program.
The content editing apparatus includes an operator interface that visually represents the temporal position relationship between video data, material image data associated with the video data, and additional image data associated with the material image data. It is preferable that the input means accepts a designation input of a deletion portion in the video data based on an operator instruction to the operator interface.
[0010]
Further, the content editing apparatus uses, as an archive file, content including video data, material image data associated with the time position of the video data, and additional image data associated with the time position of the material image data. It is preferable to provide archive output means for outputting, thereby facilitating processing when registering the content in the distribution server.

[0042]
As described above, the plurality of document image data used in the presentation is given the order information (default) to be used in advance, and in principle, it is displayed and used in the order according to the order information. In this presentation, the order of document images displayed on the screen is changed by the presenter operation described above, or a certain document image is repeatedly displayed on the screen, so that this can be reproduced with content data. The association unit 84 updates the order information (default) of each document image data according to the order actually used according to the input switching instruction.
Note that the switching instruction input from the presentation support apparatus 40 includes a document ID, and the association unit 84 grasps which document image data is switched at what time (timing) and performs the association process.
[0043]
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, each document image data before being actually used in the presentation is not associated with the video data 31 in time timing. Based on this, the time position for adding the use start timing (time on the time axis of the video data) is associated with each image data.
Here, since any document image is always displayed on the screen S in the presentation of this example, the time position of each document image data with respect to the video data 31 is specified only by defining the start timing of each document image. The It should be noted that the time position correspondence may be attached in a form such as a set of start timing and end timing or a set of start timing and usage time width.
[0044]
According to the associating device 80, the video data 31 recorded by the video input means 81 is inputted, the material image input means 82 is inputted the material image data 30 used in the presentation, and the switching instruction input means 83 is inputted in the presentation. A document image switching instruction made by the presenter P is input, and the association unit 84 can switch the input timing of the switching instruction with respect to the time axis based on the video data 31 based on these inputs. The association processing is set as the data display start timing, and further, the processing is performed to update the order information of each document image data in accordance with the order actually used according to the input switching instruction. In addition, the data file and the video data 31 subjected to the update process are stored in the data holding device 90. The process of force is made.
[0045]

The video data 31 is continuous moving image data having a time width T. With respect to the time axis of the video data 31, a material image A having a time TA as a start timing, a material image B having a time TB as a start timing, and a time A document image C having a start timing of TC and a document image D having a start timing of time TD are associated with each other, and an arrow image a and a time Tb having a start timing of time Ta are associated with each document image 30. An animation image b having the start timing, an arrow image c having the time Tc as the start timing, and an arrow image d having the time Td as the start timing are associated with each other.
[0049]
Since the document image 30 is displayed on the screen from the start timing to the start timing of the next document image, the document image data 30 is represented as data having a certain time width in FIG. Only the display interval is shown, and the material image data of a still image that is not a moving image does not have a time width by itself.
The same applies to the additional image 33. In the same figure, only the display interval is shown, and the additional image data of a still image that is not a moving image does not have a time width by itself.
[0050]
Due to the correspondence between the document image 30 and the additional image 33, the display mode of the document image changes as time passes as shown in FIG.
That is, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4D, when the start timing of the additional image is reached while the document images A, B, C, and D are displayed, the arrow image a and the animation image b are displayed. , The arrow image c and the arrow image d are superimposed on the set positions of the respective document images.
Therefore, such a synchronous display of the material image and the additional image is performed in the presentation, and is reproduced in the reproduction of the content while maintaining the time relationship.
[0051]
FIG. 17 shows a configuration of an editing apparatus 100 operated by an operator to edit video data 31 created for content.
The editing apparatus 100 receives data input means 101 for inputting content data (video data 31, material image data 30, additional image data 33) from the data holding apparatus 90, and an operator input for specifying a deletion portion in the video data 31. The input unit 102, the determination unit 103 for determining the time position of the material image data 30 associated with the video data portion 31a designated for deletion and the additional image data 33 associated with the material image, the deletion designated Deletion combination that deletes the video data portion 31a and recombines the video data 31 and updates the correspondence time positions of the material image data 30 and the additional image data 33 corresponding to the deletion portion 31a corresponding to the deletion portion 31a. Means 104, operator interface for editing processing Display means 105 for displaying, and an output means 106 for outputting the data content edited treated as an archive file 25.
[0052]
As shown in FIG. 18, the display unit 105 includes a player 110 for reproducing and displaying the video data 31 to be edited, material image data associated with the video data, and an additional image associated with the material image data. An operator interface including an editing interface 111 that visually represents the temporal position relationship with the data is displayed on the screen, and a designated input of the deletion portion 31a in the video data 31 is performed based on an operator instruction from the operation input means 102 for the editing interface 111. Accept.
[0053]
The editing interface 111 includes a time axis 112 indicating the time width of the video data 31, a material image mark (or thumbnail) 30a indicating the time position of the associated material image, and the time position of the associated additional image. When the operator designates and inputs a video portion to be deleted on the time axis 112 by clicking or dragging the mouse of the operation input means 102, the deletion target portion 31a of the video data is displayed. Is displayed, and when the operator presses the cut button 113 by an operation from the operation input unit 102, the deletion / combination unit 104 deletes the target portion of the designated video data and recombines the remaining portion.
Such a deletion instruction operation can be performed while confirming a video image with the video player 100, and can be performed while visually confirming the time-position relationship of data, thereby reducing the burden of operator work. .
[0054]
The deletion / combination means 104 deletes / recombines the designated portion of the video data 31 in response to the operator instruction input as described above. The deletion portion 31a of the video data 31 includes the display start timing position of the additional image data 33. In this example, several processing methods are possible.
As shown in FIG. 19A, the video data 31 in which the document image data 30 and the additional image data 33 are associated will be described by taking as an example the case where the portion of the time width Tcut is deleted from the time tcut on the video time axis. To do.
[0055]
This deletion portion Tcut includes the display start timing position tc of the additional image data (arrow c), and the method shown in FIG. 19B is one method of the deletion recombination processing.
This method shortens the display time of the document image C corresponding to the deleted portion Tcut and deletes the additional image indicated by the arrow c. That is, according to this method, the time position correspondence of the part (remaining part) in which the video data and the material image C are not deleted is maintained as it is.

In the method shown in FIG. 19B, the additional image indicated by the arrow c is deleted, and the remaining portion after the deleted portion of the material image C is also deleted, so that the display start timing of the material image D subsequent to the material image C is deleted. This is a method of changing to the preceding time position tcut corresponding to the part. This method is a deletion and recombination method that places emphasis on the display of the additional image, and deletes a video image portion in which an action of pointing a certain item in the material image C with the arrow image c is performed. After the deleted portion, neither the arrow image c nor the material image C including the matter indicated by the arrow c has any significance for the content of the remaining video image, so it is deleted, and the next material image in which the next arrow image d appears. D is displayed in advance.
[0057]
In general, the additional image is meaningful because there is a video image at the time when the additional image is displayed, and the material image after the additional image is displayed is meaningful only if there is the additional image. It can be said that the method shown in (2) performs deletion and recombination processing more in line with the actual presentation act.
Note that any of the above-described deletion recombination methods can be selected by an operator input and executed by the deletion combining unit 104.

That is, according to the editing apparatus 100, the video data 31, the material image data 30 associated with the time position of the video data, and the additional image data 33 associated with the time position of the material image data are included. For the content, the operation input means 102 receives an operator input for designating a deletion portion in the video data, and the material determination means 103 applies the material image data associated with the video data portion designated for deletion and the material image. The time position of the associated additional image data is determined, and the deletion / combination means 104 deletes the video data portion designated to be deleted, recombines the video data, and the material image data corresponding to the deleted portion and the addition Processing to update the association time position of the image data corresponding to the deleted part is performed, and the edited Content data is output as an archive file 25.
If the editing device 100 does not perform special editing processing, the content data held in the data holding device 90 is output as the archive file 25 from the archive output means 106.
