FIG. 1 is a network configuration diagram of a moving image posting service system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the video posting service system 100, the video posting server 1 and the terminal 2 are connected via a network 3.

  The moving image posting server 1 is configured as a Web server that provides a moving image posting service to the user terminal 2 on the Internet. For example, when the video posting server 1 posts (uploads) a video “theme” (also referred to as “topic” or “theme”) and a video associated with the “theme” from the user terminal 2. , Make posted videos available for viewing by "theme" on the site. Furthermore, the moving image posting server 1 accepts posting of moving images widely associated with the “theme” from the terminal 2 of the user different from the user who posted the “theme”. When a number of videos related to the “theme” are posted, the video posting server 1 uses the digested videos (hereinafter referred to as digest videos) from among the many posted videos under the “themes”. Multiple). Then, the moving image posting server 1 creates one continuous digest video by continuously reproducing the extracted plurality of digest videos (hereinafter referred to as a continuous digest video). The continuous digest video is published under the “theme” so that it can be viewed (reproduced) from the terminals 2 of an unspecified number of users.

  The terminal 2 is a user terminal used by the user, such as a camera capable of shooting a moving image, a mobile phone with a camera, a smartphone, or a personal computer. The user uses the terminal 2 to access the video posting server 1 as a Web server that provides a video posting service, and posts the shot video. The terminal 2 can also browse (reproduce) individual posted videos published on the video posting server 1 and continuous digest videos obtained by continuously reproducing digest videos.

  The network 3 is a network including wired and wireless, and is, for example, an Internet network that connects the moving image posting server 1 and the terminal 2.

(Hardware configuration)
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration example of the moving image posting server 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the moving image posting server 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, and an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 14 as hardware configurations. , Input device 15, display device 16, and communication device 17.

  The CPU 11 executes various programs and performs arithmetic processing. The ROM 12 stores a program necessary for startup. The RAM 13 is a work area for temporarily storing processing performed by the CPU 11 and storing data. The HDD 14 stores various data and programs. The input device 15 is, for example, a keyboard or a mouse. The display device 16 is a display. The communication device 17 communicates with other devices.

(Software configuration)
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a software configuration example of the moving image posting server 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The moving image posting server 1 includes a moving image receiving unit 101, a posted moving image DB (Database) 102, an accompanying information acquisition unit 103, a digest moving image extraction unit 104, and a continuous digest moving image providing unit 105 as main functional units.

  The moving image receiving unit 101 receives a posted moving image from the user terminal 2. Posting videos are posted in association with each theme and related to the theme.

  The posted moving image DB 102 is a database that stores posted moving images posted (transmitted) from the user's terminal 2. Since the posted moving image is posted in association with each theme, the posted moving image DB 102 stores “theme” and posted moving image data associated with the “theme” in association with each other.

  The incidental information acquisition unit 103 acquires incidental information associated with the posted moving image. The incidental information includes information such as the shooting date / time, shooting position, evaluation, and volume of the posted moving image.

  The digest moving image extraction unit 104 extracts a moving image (digest moving image) having additional information relatively different from other moving images from all moving images posted from the user's terminal 2 under the same theme. Since the extracted moving image is a characteristic moving image compared with other moving images, it is used as a digest moving image of all moving images posted from the user's terminal 2 under the same theme.

  When the continuous digest video providing unit 105 receives a request for continuous digest video playback of a posted video from the user's terminal 2, a plurality of digests extracted from all the videos posted from the user's terminal 2 under the same theme. The terminal 2 is provided with a continuous digest video that is continuously played back so as to connect the videos.

  The main functional configuration of the moving image posting server 1 has been described above. Each of these functions is actually realized by causing the computer to execute the program executed by the CPU 11 of the moving image posting server 1.

(Posted video DB102)
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a data example of the posted moving image DB 102 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The posted video DB 102 includes a “posted video” 404, a “poster ID” 405, a “posted date” 406, a “shooting date” 407, for each of the “theme ID” 401, “theme” 402 and “genre / tag” 403. “Shooting position” 408, “Evaluation value” 409, “Movie volume” 410, and “Digest movie flag” 411 are stored in association with each other.

  “Theme ID” 401 is a theme identifier registered in the posted moving image DB 102. Numbered each time a new theme is registered.

  The “theme” 402 is a moving image theme registered (set) from the user terminal 2. When a “theme” is posted on the video posting service of the video posting server 1, a video associated with the “theme” is posted from an invited user or an unspecified number of users so as to be associated with the “theme” ( Uploaded). The “theme” 402 can be registered not only by a general user but also by an operator of the video posting service.

  Referring to the posted video DB 102 in FIG. 4, videos related to the theme are posted from a plurality of users to the theme “Japan vs. Brazil World Cup watching album”. These posted videos are videos of shooting soccer games in various scenes depending on each user's own framework, timing, and viewpoint.

  A “genre / tag” 403 is a genre or tag of a theme assigned to a theme. When the “theme” 402 is registered (set) from the terminal 2 of the user, the genre or tag to which the theme belongs is also selected (input).

  “Posted moving image” 404 is moving image data (moving image file) posted by the terminal 2 after the “theme”. The posted video is uploaded from the terminal 2 to the video posting server 1.

  “Contributor ID” 405 is the ID of the user who posted the posted video.

  “Posted date” 406 is the date and time when the posted moving image is posted to the moving image posting service of the moving image posting server 1.

  “Shooting date / time” 407 is the date and time when the posted moving image was shot by the terminal 2 or the like. The shooting date / time information includes year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and day of the week. In addition, both the shooting start date and time and the shooting end date and time are included. The “shooting date and time” 407 may be acquired from metadata attached to the posted moving image, or may be input by the contributor when the posted moving image is posted.

  The “shooting position” 408 is a position where the posted moving image is shot by the terminal 2 or the like. The “shooting position” 408 can be expressed by, for example, map coordinates of latitude and longitude, or information such as specific place names and places. The “shooting position” 408 may be acquired from metadata attached to the posted video, or may be input by the contributor when the posted video is posted.

  “Evaluation value” 409 is an evaluation value given to the posted moving image. The posted video is published on the site so that it can be viewed. A third-party user can view the posted video and assign an evaluation value to each. The evaluation value can be expressed by the number of stars or the number of points.

  “Movie volume” 410 is the volume of the posted movie. The “video volume” 410 analyzes the volume recorded in the posted video at the timing when the “posted video” 404 is posted, and the volume level such as 1 to 5 is set according to the volume. The indicated value is given.

  The “digest video flag” 411 is a flag indicating that the video is a digest video extracted from all posted videos posted after the same “theme”. A flag value 0 of the “digest video flag” 411 indicates a non-digest video, and a flag value 1 indicates a digest video. Of all the posted videos, only the digest video with the flag value 1 is continuously played back, so that it is played back as one continuous digest video under one “theme”.

<Extract digest video>
In this embodiment, a digest video used as a digest video is extracted from all posted videos posted after the same “theme”, and a plurality of posts are obtained by continuously playing the extracted digest video. The moving image is reproduced as one continuous digest moving image under a certain “theme”. Hereinafter, an example of digest video extraction will be described.

(Example of digest video extraction 1)
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a digest video extraction example 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the digest video extraction example 1, a digest video is extracted based on the “shooting position” 408 of the posted video.

  First, as shown in FIG. 5, under a certain “theme”, each posted video classifies (groups) each posted video based on the “shooting position” 408 of each posted video.

  Classification (grouping) classifies posted moving images having the same shooting position into the same group. In addition, it is possible to expand the position range a little further and classify the posted moving images whose shooting positions are in the neighborhood or in the same facility (for example, a park, amusement park, zoo, etc.) into the same group. Furthermore, it is possible to expand the position range and classify the posted videos of the same city, prefecture, and country into the same group. It can be determined as appropriate in relation to the theme content.

  In the case of FIG. 5, each posted moving image is classified into groups of Shinjuku area, Shibuya area, Ikebukuro area, central area, Shimbashi area, and Ueno area based on the “shooting position” 408 of each posted moving image.

  From each of the classified groups, one to several posted moving images are extracted as digest moving images in a balanced manner, evenly, or according to the number of posted images. Specifically, one of the posted videos taken in the Shinjuku area, two of the posted videos taken in the Shibuya area, and one shot in the Ikebukuro area based on the “shooting position” 408 in the posted video DB 102. One of the posted videos posted, one of the posted videos shot in the central area, two of the posted videos shot in the Shimbashi area, one of the posted videos shot in the Ueno area Extracted as a digest video.

  Note that which of the posted videos to be extracted from the posted videos in the same group depends on other additional information (for example, “post date” 406, “shooting date” 407, “evaluation value” 409, “video volume”). 410, etc.) can be extracted in combination. The number of posted videos to be extracted from each group may be proportional to the number of posted images, but the playback time of the entire continuous digest video (for example, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, etc., specified by the user or the administrator) ) Is input, the posted images are extracted so that the total playback time of all the digest videos is well within the playback time.

  As a result, when viewing a continuous digest video of posted videos posted after the same “theme”, videos shot in the same place do not continue endlessly, and videos shot in various places are balanced. Played. That is, for example, the spectator scene videos shot in each area are not played back in a balanced manner, and the spectator scene videos shot in each area are played back in a balanced manner. It is possible to browse with a digest of each place in a well-balanced manner.

(Example of digest video extraction 2)
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing Digest Movie Extraction Example 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the digest video extraction example 2, the digest video is extracted based on the “evaluation value” 409 of the posted video.

  As shown in FIG. 6, under a certain “theme”, a posted video whose “evaluation value” 409 of each posted video is a predetermined rating or higher is extracted as a digest video. Specifically, a posted video having an “evaluation value” 409 of 5 or more in the posted video DB 102 is extracted as a digest video among all the posted videos under a certain “theme”.

  It should be noted that other posted videos to be extracted from posted videos with the same evaluation value are other supplementary information (for example, “post date” 406, “shooting date” 407, “shooting position” 408, “movie volume” "410 etc.) can be extracted in combination. The number of posted videos extracted from posted videos with the same evaluation value may be proportional to the number of posted images, but the playback time of the entire continuous digest video (for example, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, etc. When the administrator-specified playback time) is input, the posted images are extracted so that the total playback time of all the digest videos is well within the entire playback time.

  Thereby, when browsing the continuous digest animation of the contribution animation contributed after the same "theme", only the animation to which high evaluation is provided is digest-reproduced. In other words, for example, a video with a low rating is not played back, and only a video with a high rating is played back. It is possible to view the evaluation video as a digest.

  Note that instead of the “evaluation value” 409, a digest video may be extracted based on the number of shares of the posted video to the SNS. This is because a posted video with a large number of shares to SNS can be regarded as popular and highly evaluated by users.

(Example of digest video extraction 3)
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an extraction example 3 of the digest moving image according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the digest video extraction example 3, the digest video is extracted based on the “video volume” 410 of the posted video.

  As illustrated in FIG. 7, under a certain “theme”, each posted moving image whose “moving image volume” 410 is equal to or higher than a predetermined volume is extracted as a digest moving image. Specifically, of all the posted videos under a certain “theme”, a posted video having a “video volume” 410 in the posted video DB 102 with a maximum volume of 5 is extracted as a digest video.

  It should be noted that other posted videos to be extracted from posted videos having the same evaluation value are other supplementary information (for example, “post date” 406, “shooting date” 407, “shooting position” 408, “evaluation value”). 409 etc.) can be extracted in combination. The number of posted videos to be extracted from posted videos with the same volume may be proportional to the number of posted images, but the playback time of the entire continuous digest video (for example, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, etc.) If a user-specified playback time) is input, the posted images are extracted so that the total playback time of all the digest videos is well within the entire playback time.

  As a result, when a continuous digest video of posted videos posted after the same “theme” is viewed, only a high-volume video is digest-played. That is, for example, since a low-volume video is not played back, but only a high-volume video is played back, the user swells at a high volume (for example, loud cheering, etc.) out of a huge number of posted watching scene videos. It is possible to view a moving image with a digest.

(Example 4 of digest video extraction)
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing extraction example 4-1 of the digest moving image according to the embodiment of the present invention. In Digest Movie Extraction Example 4-1, a digest movie is extracted based on the “shooting date” 407 of the posted movie.

  As shown in FIG. 8, under a certain “theme”, each posted video classifies (groups) each posted video based on the “shooting date” 407 of each posted video.

  The classification (grouping) classifies posted moving images having the same shooting date and time into the same group. In addition, it is possible to expand the date and time range a little further and classify posted videos whose shooting date and time is within minutes, hours, or days into the same group. It can be determined as appropriate in relation to the theme content.

  In the case of FIG. 8, each posted moving image is classified into groups in which the shooting date / time is in minutes based on the “shooting date / time” 407 of each posted moving image.

  From each of the classified groups, one to several posted moving images are extracted as digest moving images in a balanced manner, evenly, or according to the number of posted images. Specifically, based on the “shooting date / time” 407 in the posted movie DB 102, one of the posted videos shot at 13:00 shooting date and time, and one of the posted videos shot at 13:00 shooting date and time One post posted at 13:02, one post posted at 13:03, one posted at 13:04, post taken at 13:04 One of the moving images, one of the posted moving images taken at the shooting date and time of 13:05, and two of the posted moving images shot at the shooting date and time of 13:06, are extracted as digest movies.

  It should be noted that which of the posted videos to be extracted from the posted videos in the same group depends on other accompanying information (for example, “post date” 406, “shooting position” 408, “evaluation value” 409, “video volume”). 410, etc.) can be extracted in combination. The number of posted videos to be extracted from each group may be proportional to the number of posted images, but the playback time of the entire continuous digest video (for example, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, etc., specified by the user or the administrator) ) Is input, the posted images are extracted so that the total playback time of all the digest videos is well within the entire playback time.

  As a result, when viewing continuous digest videos of posted videos that were posted after the same “theme”, videos recorded in the same time zone do not continue, and videos shot in each time zone Digest playback with a good balance. That is, for example, the spectator scene video that was shot in each time zone is not played back in a balanced manner but is played back in a balanced manner. It is possible to view each time zone as a digest with a good balance.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating Digest movie extraction example 4-2 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the digest video extraction example 4-2, the digest video is extracted based on the text live status information 900 in addition to the “shooting date and time” 407 of the posted video.

  First, the text live status information 900 is text live so that the state of the event can be transmitted to the reader. For example, in the case of a soccer game, the state of the game is recorded in text while chasing time from the start to the end of the game. In the present embodiment, when the “theme” 402 is an event theme, the text live status information 900 of the event is acquired in advance.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, each posted moving image is classified into each group whose shooting date and time is in units of minutes based on the “shooting date and time” 407 of each posted moving image.

  Next, the shooting date and time when each posted video was shot and the event occurrence date and time of the text live status information 900 are checked, and the balance is selected from the group of posted videos shot at the date and time when the event occurs in the text live status. Well, or evenly or depending on the number of posted images, one to several posted moving images are extracted as a digest moving image. Specifically, one of the posted videos shot at 13:00 on the shooting date and time at which the live event occurred in the text live status information 900, and the posted video shot on the shooting date and time at 13:03 One from the inside, two of the posted videos taken at the shooting date and time of 13:04, and two of the posted videos shot at the shooting date and time of 13:06, are extracted as digest videos.

  It should be noted that which of the posted videos to be extracted from the posted videos in the same group depends on other accompanying information (for example, “post date” 406, “shooting position” 408, “evaluation value” 409, “video volume”). 410, etc.) can be extracted in combination. The number of posted videos to be extracted from each group may be proportional to the number of posted images, but the playback time of the entire continuous digest video (for example, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, etc., specified by the user or the administrator) ) Is input, the posted images are extracted so that the total playback time of all the digest videos is well within the entire playback time.

  As a result, when viewing a continuous digest video of posted videos that were posted after the same “theme”, the video shot in the same time zone will not continue endlessly, and in addition, a special situation where live scenes occurred Digest playback of movies taken in a time zone with a good balance.

  It should be noted that by combining the digest video extraction examples 1 to 4, two of the “post date” 406, “shooting date” 407, “shooting position” 408, “evaluation value” 409, and “moving image volume” 410 of the posted video It is also possible to extract a digest video based on one or more.

  For example, in the case of a plurality of posted videos posted after the theme “2014 World Cup”, a digest movie can be extracted based on the “shooting position” 408 and “shooting date” 407 of the posted movie. In this case, a video of a supporter who supports the team in his / her country in each part of the world is extracted as a digest video by first creating a place in each country or region and then taking a time series of times. If a digest video is extracted based only on the “shooting date and time” 407 of the posted video, the scenes of the video will be mixed around the world, so it is not always easy to see as a continuous digest video.

  In addition, since the video shot in the time zone when the live scene occurred is extracted, the extracted digest video is associated with the event that occurred live on the event occurrence date and time that matches the shooting date and time of the digest video. It can also be used. For example, on the video posting service screen, a live event that is live in association with the extracted digest video is displayed as text as a marker. Thereby, the user can easily grasp what kind of scene the digest video is. In addition, while the continuous digest video is played back, the associated live event may be displayed at the timing when the digest video is played back.

<Continuous playback of digest video>
In the present embodiment, a digest video is extracted from all posted videos posted after the same “theme”, and a plurality of posted videos are obtained by continuously playing the extracted digest videos. Under "Theme", it is played as one continuous digest video.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a video posting service screen according to an embodiment of the present invention. The video posting service screen is displayed on the screen of the terminal 2 when the user selects one theme desired from a plurality of themes registered on the video posting service.

  In the theme column 1000, for example, the selected theme “Japan vs. Brazil World Cup watching album” is displayed.

  In the posted moving image column 1001, a plurality of posted moving images 005a, 001a, 003a, 004a, 005b,... Posted after the theme in the theme column 1000 are arranged from left to right. When the user wants to reproduce any posted video from among these, the user presses a playback button 1003 on the posted video to be reproduced.

  On the other hand, when the user wants to play the continuous digest video 1004, the user presses the playback button 1005 on the continuous digest video 1004. When the play button 1005 is pressed, the continuous digest video providing unit 105 selects a digest video extracted from all the posted videos 005a, 001a, 003a, 004a, 005b,. By continuously playing, the continuous digest movie 1004 can be played.

  As a result, the watching scene video posted on the theme of “Japan vs. Brazil World Cup watching album” is reproduced as one video content that progresses one after another in the digest.

  When a new posted image is added, the digest video is re-extracted (re-determined) from all the posted videos including the new posted image based on the incidental information of each posted video. Thereafter, when the user reproduces the continuous digest video 1004, the digest video re-extracted again is continuously reproduced.

  Further, as the cover image (thumbnail image) of the continuous digest video 1004, the display image of the digest video (for example, the posted video 004a) having the latest “post date” 406 is used. Thus, since the cover image of the continuous digest video 1004 is different before and after the newly posted image is added, the user has added the posted image that has become a new digest video, and the posted image. It can be easily recognized that the continuous digest video 1004 is different from that before the video is added. When the terminal 2 calls the video posting service screen from the video posting server 1, the video posting server 1 displays the continuous digest video 1004 in the video posting service screen. As the cover image (thumbnail image), “post date” 406 embeds the still image of the latest posted moving image (for example, posted moving image 004a) and the link URL to the still image, and returns the moving image posting service screen to the terminal 2.

  In addition, when the digest video is extracted based on the “shooting position” 408 when the digest video is continuously played back, the continuous digest video providing unit 105 is linked to the digest video on the video posting service screen. It is also possible to display a map in which the “shooting position” 408 is mapped. Thereby, when a digest video is continuously reproduced, the position where the digest video to be reproduced is photographed can be visually grasped on the map.

(Supplement)
In the digest video extraction examples 1 to 4 described above, based on “posted video” “shooting date” 407, “shooting position” 408, “evaluation value” 409, or “moving image volume” 410 of the supplementary information of the posted video. Digest video was extracted. However, it is appropriate to use which of the accompanying information of the posted moving image is used depending on the content of the “theme” (for example, the genre or tag assigned to the theme).

(1) “Shooting Date / Time” Type For example, if the content of “Theme” is related to a wedding, a sporting game, or a moderator-type event, the posted video has a flow of progress time. It is appropriate as the digest video content that the video is extracted from each time zone based on “shooting date and time” 407. Since weddings and sports are held at the same place, it is not meaningful to extract videos from various locations based on the “shooting position” 408.

(2) “Photographing position” type For example, if the content of “theme” is related to facilities and places in various places such as tourist facilities, sightseeing spots, and sights, the posted video is displayed in “photographing position” 408. It is appropriate as digest video content that videos from various locations are extracted and played based on this. Since facilities and places in various places have different positions, it is not meaningful to extract a moving image from each time zone based on “shooting date and time” 407.

(3) “Evaluation Value” Type Furthermore, for example, when the content of “theme” is related to a congratulatory message or interesting content unrelated to time or place, the posted video is set to “evaluation value” 409. It is appropriate as the digest video content that the video is extracted based on the content. In the case of a moving image that is not related to time or place, such as a congratulatory message or interesting content, and has a meaning in the content of the message or content itself, each time based on the “shooting date” 407 or “shooting position” 408. It is not meaningful to extract videos from the obi and various places.

(4) “Volume” Type Further, for example, when the content of “theme” is related to sports, concerts, and the like, a posted moving image is extracted based on the “moving image volume” 410. Is suitable as digest video content.

  In addition, by combining the above (1) to (4), based on two or more of “shooting date” 407, “shooting position” 408, “evaluation value” 409, and “movie volume” 410 of the posted movie, It is also possible to extract a digest video.

  For example, in the case of a posted video posted after the theme “2014 World Cup”, a digest video may be extracted based on the “shooting position” 408 and “shooting date” 407 of the posted video. In this case, the posted videos are extracted from supporters who support their teams in various parts of the world. First, digest videos from countries and regions and from each time zone are extracted. If a digest video is extracted based only on the “shooting date and time” 407 of the posted video, a continuous digest video in which the scenes of the video are mixed around the world is reproduced.

  In addition, the digest video may be further narrowed down according to the user attribute of the user who posted the posted video. That is, the digest video is extracted in consideration of the user attribute of the user who posted the posted video. For example, when the theme is “2014 World Cup”, a digest video is extracted from all posted videos out of posted videos whose user attribute is Japanese (or Japanese supporters). Thereby, for example, only a digest video shot from a Japanese viewpoint is extracted, so that a continuous digest video of a posted video shot from a Japanese viewpoint is reproduced. On the other hand, contrary to the Japanese viewpoint, a digest video is extracted from all posted videos out of posted videos whose user attributes are those of the opponent's opponent country. Thereby, for example, by extracting only digest videos shot from the viewpoint of Japan's opponents, a continuous digest movie of posted videos taken from the viewpoint of opponents of Japan is reproduced.

  Also, in this case, the digest video of the posted video taken from the viewpoint of Japan and the digest video of the posted video shot from the viewpoint of the opponent country in Japan are continuously performed in parallel with the “shooting date” 407 being aligned. It is also possible to reproduce. For example, when the play button 1005 on the continuous digest video 1004 on the video posting service screen (FIG. 10) is pressed, the continuous digest video providing unit 105 displays the digest video of the posted video shot from the Japanese viewpoint on the upper half of the screen. In the lower half of the screen, the digest moving image of the posted moving image taken from the viewpoint of the opponent country of the book is continuously reproduced in parallel with the “shooting date” 407 being aligned. As a result, the watching scene video posted after the theme of “Japan vs. XX Battle” is played back as a single video content in which the videos taken from different viewpoints based on user attributes are progressing one after another in the digest. The

<Operation>
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing digest video extraction processing of the video posting server 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, it will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  S1: The moving image receiving unit 101 determines whether a posted moving image has been posted. For example, a posted video is posted when the user submits a video on the “theme” video posting service screen where the user wants to post a video.

  S2: When the posted video is posted, the video accepting unit 101 stores the posted video in the “posted video” 404 in association with the “theme ID” 401 of the theme to which the posted video is posted on the posted video DB 102. In addition, the moving image receiving unit 101 associates “poster ID” 405, “post date” 406, “shooting date” 407, “shooting position” 408, and “moving image volume” 410 as supplementary information of the posted moving image. (FIG. 4).

  S3: Next, when the posted video is stored in S2, the incidental information acquisition unit 103 determines whether or not there are a plurality of “posted videos” 404 associated with the “theme ID” 401 of the posted video. judge. If two or more posted moving images are stored in the “posted moving image” 404 associated with the “theme ID” 401, the process proceeds to S4.

  S4: The incidental information acquisition unit 103 acquires the “genre / tag” 403 associated with the “theme ID” 401 of the posted moving image.

  S5: The incidental information acquisition unit 103 selects incidental information used for extraction of the digest video based on the “genre / tag” 403 acquired in S4. The “genre / tag” 403 is a genre or tag of a theme assigned to a theme when the “theme” 402 is registered (set). Therefore, the “genre / tag” 403 indicates what the theme is, that is, the theme classification.

  S6: The incidental information acquisition unit 103 acquires the incidental information selected in S5 from all “posted moving images” 404 associated with the “theme ID” 401 of the posted moving image. For example, if “shooting date / time” 407 is selected as supplementary information used to extract a digest movie in S 5, “shooting date / time” 407 is acquired from all “posted movie” 404. Of the incidental information of the posted moving image, “evaluation value” 409 is information that is given only after receiving an evaluation from the user, and is acquired when such information is stored.

  S7: The digest video extracting unit 104 extracts a digest video from all the posted videos stored in the “posted video” 404 under the same “theme ID” 401 based on the supplementary information acquired in S6. . Note that the digest video extraction examples 1 to 4 are combined and based on two or more of the “shooting date” 407, “shooting position” 408, “evaluation value” 409, and “moving image volume” 410 of the posted movie. It is also possible to extract a digest video (in combination).

  S8: The digest video extracting unit 104 stores 1 in the “digest video flag” of the video extracted as the digest video in S7 on the posted video DB 102 (FIG. 4).

  When a new posted image is added (S1), a digest video is extracted based on the incidental information of each posted video, including the new posted image (S6).

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing continuous digest moving image playback processing of the moving image posting server 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  S21: The continuous digest moving image providing unit 105 determines whether or not a continuous moving image reproduction request for a posted moving image has been received from the user terminal 2. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when a user wants to play a continuous digest video 1004 of a posted video on a video posting service screen of a “theme”, by pressing a playback button 1005 on the continuous digest video 1004, A playback request is transmitted to the continuous digest video providing unit 105.

  S22: The continuous digest video providing unit 105 acquires all videos whose “digest video flag” 411 is “1” from the “posted video” 404 associated with the “theme ID” 401 of the theme from the posted video DB 102. .

  S <b> 23: The continuous digest moving image providing unit 105 transmits the moving image (digest moving image) whose “digest moving image flag” 411 acquired in S <b> 22 is 1 to the terminal 2. As a result, a digest video that is continuously played back as a continuous digest video is provided from the total number of videos of the “posted video” 404, so that the posted videos that are posted on the terminal 2 after the same theme are digested one after another. It is reproduced as one moving picture content that progresses.

  As an example, a plurality of digest videos can be continuously played back as a continuous digest video in the order in which the “shooting date” 407 is arranged in the order of “shooting date / time” 407.

  The digest video extraction process has been described as being executed at the timing immediately after the posted video is posted. However, as another timing for executing the digest video extraction process, for example, a user selects a desired theme from a plurality of themes registered on the video posting service, and the video posting service screen is displayed. There is a timing to be generated. That is, in the process of generating the video posting service screen, a digest video is extracted under the theme, and a continuous digest video 1004 for continuously playing the digest video as a continuous digest video is arranged on the video posting service screen. (FIG. 10).

  As another timing for executing the digest video extraction process, for example, on the video posting service screen, the user presses the playback button 1005 on the continuous digest video 1004, and continuous digest video playback requests for posted videos are continuously issued. There is also a timing transmitted to the digest video providing unit 105 (FIG. 10). That is, at the timing when a continuous digest video playback request is generated from the video posting service screen, a digest video is extracted under the theme and the continuous digest video 1004 is played back.

  As another timing for executing the digest video extraction process, for example, on the video posting service screen, the user presses the playback button 1005 on the continuous digest video 1004 and the continuous digest video 1004 is being played back. (Fig. 7). When a new posted image is added (posted) under the same theme during playback of the continuous digest video 1004, all the posted videos are included based on the incidental information of each posted video, including the new posted image (S6). A digest video is immediately extracted from the list (S7). When a new posted image is extracted as a digest video, the continuous digest video 1004 is continuously reproduced including the new posted image. That is, when a new posted image is added during playback of the continuous digest video 1004, the posted image as the digest video just added can be reflected in the continuous digest video 1004 and played back. Accordingly, the user can enjoy the continuous digest video 1004 including the added posted video in real time.
