In the following embodiments, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

(Embodiment)
[1-1. Generation process)
First, an example of the generation process according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a generation process according to the embodiment. The generation apparatus 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 has a shorter range in which highlighting is specified from video information based on the user's designation of a point of interest (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “highlight”) than other ranges. A generation service for generating summary content including a plurality of pieces of image information extracted at intervals is provided. The generation device 100 distributes the generated summary content to the user terminal device 10. In addition, the other range here is a portion other than the range in which the point of interest (highlight) is designated. In other words, the other range here refers to a range where no highlight is designated.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the case where the summary content DC11 is generated from the moving image information MV11 is shown. For example, the moving image information MV11 is a 30-second moving image showing a series of operations from a child who turned to the right to the front, returning from the side to the pull and turning to the left. Here, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the moving image information MV11 is divided into three scenes of a scene A, a scene B, and a scene C. Specifically, the moving image information MV11 includes a scene A indicating that the child is facing right to the front, and a scene B indicating that the child is gradually approaching and returns to the pulling state. The scene C is divided into a scene C from the state where the child faces the front to the left. The scene division may be automatically performed by the generation apparatus 100 using various conventional techniques, or may be performed by the generation apparatus 100 according to a user operation.

  Further, for example, when the frame rate is 30 frames (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “frame”), if it is a 30-second movie, it is 900 frames, and each scene includes 300 frames, but the example shown in FIG. In the figure, for the sake of explanation, the case where each scene includes six frames is shown. Specifically, the scene A includes 6 frames corresponding to the image information C10-1 to C10-6, the scene B includes 6 frames corresponding to the image information C10-7 to C10-12, and the scene C includes the image information. 6 frames corresponding to C10-13 to C10-18 are included. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, when a frame corresponding to the image information C10-1 in the moving image information MV11 is displayed, the image information C10-1 is displayed because the display mode is the same as that of the image information C10-1. The data (information) corresponding to the image information C10-1 in the moving image information MV11 at the time of display may be different from the data (information) of the image information C10-1 itself. Hereinafter, the image information C10-1 to the image information C10-18 are referred to as image information C10 when they are not particularly distinguished.

  Here, in FIG. 1, the user designates the scene B as a highlight (step S11). In this case, the generating apparatus 100 generates the summary content DC11 with the scene B as a highlight (step S12). Specifically, the generation device 100 extracts a plurality of pieces of image information C10 obtained by extracting a scene B that is a range in which highlight is designated from the moving image information MV11 and scenes A and C that are other ranges at different intervals. The summary content DC11 including is generated.

  In FIG. 1, 2 frames out of 6 frames are captured from the scene A that is not designated as a highlight and extracted as image information. Specifically, image information C10-2 and image information C10-5 are extracted from scene A that is not designated as a highlight. That is, the image information C10-2 and the image information C10-5 are digests indicating the contents of the scene A.

  In FIG. 1, 4 out of 6 frames are captured from the scene B designated as the highlight and extracted as image information. Specifically, image information C10-7, image information C10-9, image information C10-10, and image information C10-12 are extracted from the scene B designated as the highlight. That is, the image information C10-7, the image information C10-9, the image information C10-10, and the image information C10-12 are digests indicating the contents of the scene B. As described above, more image information is extracted from the scene designated as the highlight than the scene not designated as the highlight.

  In FIG. 1, 2 frames out of 6 frames are captured from the scene C that is not designated as a highlight and extracted as image information. Specifically, the image information C10-14 and the image information C10-17 are extracted from the scene C that is not designated as a highlight. That is, the image information C10-14 and the image information C10-17 are digests indicating the contents of the scene C. Note that the generation apparatus 100 may extract frames from each scene as image information at a predetermined interval as many as the number specified depending on whether the highlight is designated, or may display characteristic frames of the scene as images. It may be extracted as information.

  By extracting the image information C10 from each scene as described above, the generating apparatus 100 determines that the number of image information extracted from the scene for which highlight is specified is the number of image information extracted from other scenes. Generate more summary content. Specifically, the generation device 100 generates the summary content DC11 including the four pieces of image information C10-7, C10-9, C10-10, and C10-12 extracted from the scene B for which the highlight is designated. . Further, the generation device 100 generates the summary content DC11 including the two pieces of image information C10-2 and C10-5 extracted from the scene A for which no highlight is designated. In addition, the generation apparatus 100 generates the summary content DC11 including the two pieces of image information C10-14 and C10-17 extracted from the scene C where no highlight is designated. That is, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the generation apparatus 100 generates eight pieces of image information C10-2, C10-5, C10-7, C10-9, C10-10, C10-12, C10-14, and C10-17. The summary content DC11 including is generated.

  Thereby, the production | generation apparatus 100 can produce | generate the information which provides the content of a moving image to a user appropriately. Specifically, the generation apparatus 100 generates the summary content DC11 that includes more of the content of the scene B for which the highlight is specified than the content of the other scenes A and C, thereby appropriately adding the content of the moving image to the user. The information to be provided can be generated. Note that the generation apparatus 100 may extract image information in any way as long as image information corresponding to the portion designated as the highlight is included in the summary content. For example, if the summary content includes image information extracted from the scene B for which the highlight is specified, the summary information may not include the image information extracted from the scene A or the scene C. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the case where one scene is designated as a highlight from a plurality of scenes is shown. However, the highlight may be designated as a plurality of scenes. It may be specified by a time such as between 10 seconds and 15 seconds.

[1-2. Display processing)
Next, an example of display processing in the terminal device 10 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

When the user scrolls down (step S25), the terminal device 10-5 displays the display area AR10 from the image information C10-9 to the next image information C10-10 according to the movement of the display area AR10. To change.

  The terminal device 10-6 shows a state in which the position of the display area AR10 is above the position of the display area AR10 in the terminal device 10-5, and the image information C10-10 is displayed in the display area AR10. . Here, the terminal device 10-6 shows a state where the intermediate MD2 of the display area AR10 has reached the intermediate MD1 of the screen DP10, and the image information C10-10 extracted from the scene B designated as the highlight is displayed. It is displayed in the area AR10. As described above, the terminal device 10 displays the image information extracted from the scene B designated as the highlight when the intermediate MD2 of the display area AR10 displaying the summary content DC11 reaches the intermediate MD1 of the screen DP10. The display of the display area AR10 is switched so as to be displayed on the AR10. Thereby, the terminal device 10 can display the image information extracted from the scene B designated as the highlight in the central portion of the screen DP10 that is easy for the user to visually recognize.

  When the user scrolls down (step S26), the terminal device 10-6 displays the display area AR10 from the image information C10-10 to the next image information C10-12 according to the movement of the display area AR10. To change.

  The terminal device 10-7 shows a state in which the position of the display area AR10 is above the position of the display area AR10 in the terminal device 10-6, and the image information C10-12 is displayed in the display area AR10. .

  The terminal device 10-9 shows a state in which the position of the display area AR10 is above the position of the display area AR10 in the terminal device 10-8, and the image information C10-17 is displayed in the display area AR10. . Here, the terminal device 10-9 shows a state where the upper end TP2 of the display area AR10 has reached the upper end TP1 of the screen DP10. Here, the summary content DC11 is displayed up to the last image information C10-17 when the upper end TP2 of the display area AR10 reaches the upper end TP1 of the screen DP10. Further, when the user scrolls down, the terminal device 10-9 maintains the state where the last image information C10-17 is displayed until the display area AR10 is not displayed.

  Through the display process described above, the user who uses the terminal device 10 can view the summary content DC11 whose display mode varies according to his / her scrolling operation. Thereby, since the display mode fluctuates when the summary content DC11 is being watched on the screen, the terminal device 10 can appropriately provide the content of the moving image information to the user. Specifically, the terminal device 10 allows the user to browse the summary content DC11 including more contents of the scene B for which the highlight is specified than the contents of the other scenes A and C, thereby appropriately displaying the moving image information. The content can be provided to the user. In the above example, the example in which the display area AR10 moves from the lower side to the upper side of the screen DP10 is shown. However, when the display area AR10 moves from the upper side to the lower side of the screen DP10, that is, the terminal device 10 When the display area AR10 is operated so as to move from the position of the terminal device 10-9 to the position of the terminal device 10-1, display may be started in order from the first image information C10-2, or the last image Display may be started in order from information C10-17.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, the storage unit 120 according to the embodiment includes a moving image information storage unit 121 and an image information storage unit 122.

(Movie information storage unit 121)
The moving image information storage unit 121 according to the embodiment stores various types of information related to moving images. FIG. 5 shows an example of the moving image information storage unit 121 according to the embodiment. The moving image information storage unit 121 illustrated in FIG. 5 includes items such as “user ID”, “moving image ID”, “time”, “scene”, and “highlight”.

  “User ID” indicates identification information for identifying the user who registered the corresponding moving image information. “Movie ID” indicates identification information for identifying movie information. “Time” indicates the time of the corresponding moving image information. “Scene” indicates a position in the moving image information of the scene included in the corresponding moving image information. “Highlight” indicates a highlight in the specified moving image information.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the user identified by the user ID “U1” is the movie information identified by the movie ID “MV11”, the movie information identified by the movie ID “MV12”, and the movie ID “MV13”. Indicates that the moving image information identified by is registered. The time of the moving image information identified by the moving image ID “MV11” is “30 seconds”, the first scene A is between “0 to 10 seconds”, and the next scene B is “10 to 20 seconds”. The last scene C is between “20-30 seconds”. Further, the highlight of the moving image information identified by the moving image ID “MV11” indicates “scene B”.

  The “highlight” may be not only one scene but also a plurality of scenes. In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the highlight of the moving image information identified by the moving image ID “MV12” indicates that there are two scenes B and C. The “highlight” may be specified not only by the scene but also by the number of seconds. In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the highlight of the moving image information identified by the moving image ID “MV13” is between 100 and 150 seconds.

  The moving image information storage unit 121 stores moving image information identified by the moving image ID. Note that the moving image information storage unit 121 is not limited to the above, and may store various types of information according to the purpose. For example, the moving image information storage unit 121 may store a file path name indicating a storage location of moving image information.

(Image information storage unit 122)
The image information storage unit 122 according to the embodiment stores various types of information related to images. FIG. 6 shows an example of the image information storage unit 122 according to the embodiment. The image information storage unit 122 illustrated in FIG. 6 includes items such as “user ID”, “content ID”, “moving image ID”, “highlight”, “image information”, and “number of scrolls”.

  “User ID” indicates identification information for identifying the user who registered the corresponding moving image information. “Content ID” indicates identification information for identifying summary content. “Movie ID” indicates identification information for identifying movie information. “Highlight” indicates a highlight in the specified moving image information. “Image information” indicates image information included in the corresponding summary content. For example, “Image 1” indicates identification information for identifying the first image information in the corresponding summary content. The “number of scrolls” indicates the number of scrolls in the terminal device to which the corresponding summary content is distributed. For example, the “number of scrolls” may be the number of times that the summary content is scrolled intermittently in the direction in which the summary content is displayed (for example, upward) when the summary content is displayed on the terminal device 10. The “scroll count” may be a scroll count counted according to various conditions according to the purpose. Further, the “number of scrolls” may be displayed in the vicinity of the display area where the summary content is displayed on the terminal device 10. The “number of scroll switching” indicates the number of scroll switching in the terminal device to which the corresponding summary content is distributed. The scroll switching here means that the user performs the scroll operation in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction after performing the scroll operation in the predetermined direction. For example, the “number of scroll switching” is the direction in which the summary content is displayed on the terminal device 10 in a direction in which the user operates to advance the display of the summary content (for example, upward), and then the summary content is displayed again (for example, the downward direction). (Direction) is counted as one time. Further, the case where the user performs the scroll operation again in the direction in which the display of the summary content is advanced (for example, upward) may be counted as one time. Thus, the generation apparatus 100 can estimate how much the user is interested in the summary content by counting the “number of scroll switching”.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the summary content identified by the content ID “DC11” is generated from the video information identified by the video ID “MV11”. Further, the highlight portion in the summary content identified by the content ID “DC11” indicates that the portion corresponds to “scene B” in the corresponding moving image information. The summary content identified by the content ID “DC11” includes the image information identified by the image ID “C10-2”, the image information identified by the image ID “C10-5”, and the image ID “C10-7”. The image information identified by is included. For example, the image information identified by the image ID “C10-5” corresponds to the image information C10-5 illustrated in FIG. The summary content identified by the content ID “DC11” indicates that the number of times the scroll operation has been performed in the distributed terminal device 10 is “100”. The summary content identified by the content ID “DC11” indicates that the number of times the scroll switching operation is performed in the distributed terminal device 10 is “50 times”. Note that the ratio of the scroll switching operation to the scroll operation can be an index indicating whether the summary content has been repeatedly browsed. For example, the summary content identified by the content ID “DC12” indicates that no scroll switching operation has been performed, that is, no one has repeatedly browsed. In other words, the ratio of the scroll switching operation to the scroll operation can be an index indicating whether the summary content has been generated by specifying an appropriate highlight. For example, even if the number of scroll operations is large, if there is almost no scroll switching operation, the summary content may only have been displayed many times and may not have attracted the user's interest. high. In such a case, for example, the generation apparatus 100 may generate new summary content by changing the highlight designation so that the number of scroll switching operations increases.

  The image information storage unit 122 also stores image information identified by the image information ID. The image information storage unit 122 is not limited to the above, and may store various types of information according to the purpose. For example, the image information storage unit 122 may store a file path name indicating the storage location of the image information. Further, the image information storage unit 122 may store various types of information according to the purpose as long as the information is related to the operation on the summary content in addition to the number of scrolls and the number of scroll switching. For example, the image information storage unit 122 may record in which scene in the summary content the scroll switching is performed. For example, the image information storage unit 122 may store the number of times of scroll switching for each scene as information regarding scroll switching. As a result, the generation apparatus 100 can grasp which scene the user is interested in, and has performed scroll switching, and can accurately estimate highlights.

(Control unit 130)
