Video image processing apparatus and processing method

A video image processing apparatus comprising:

• a change information acquiring unit that acquires inter-frame change information, which is information indicating a change between two or more frames, among two or more frames constituting a video image;
• a point determining unit that, in a case where the inter-frame change information is information indicating a change that is large enough to satisfy a predetermined condition, determines a first point corresponding to the inter-frame change information;
• a partial video image output unit that simultaneously reproduces two or more partial video images respectively on divided screens which are regions divided in a screen;
• and
• an accepting unit that accepts a first selecting condition related to the predetermined condition, wherein:
• the point determining unit determines, in a case where the inter-frame change information is information indicating a change that is large enough to satisfy the first selecting condition, a first point corresponding to the inter-frame change information, and
• the two or more partial video images respectively comprise two or more scenes that are segmented by one or two first points according to the number of scenes that corresponds to the number of the one or two first points.

A video image processing method realized by a change information acquiring unit, a point determining unit, and a point output unit, comprising:

• a change information acquiring step of the change information acquiring unit acquiring inter-frame change information, which is information indicating a change between two or more frames, among two or more frames constituting a video image;
• a point determining step of the point determining unit determining, in a case where the inter-frame change information is information indicating a change that is large enough to satisfy a predetermined condition, a first point corresponding to the inter-frame change information;
• a point output step of the point output unit outputting a point in the video image that is the first point determined in the point determining step, in a visually recognizable manner;
• and
• an accepting step of an accepting unit accepting a first selecting condition related to the predetermined condition, wherein:
• the point determining unit determines, in a case where the inter-frame change information is information indicating a change that is large enough to satisfy the first selecting condition, a first point corresponding to the inter-frame change information,
• the accepting unit accepts selection of one scene from among two or more scenes that are segmented by one or two first points output by the point output unit, and
• the point output unit outputs display corresponding to one scene corresponding to the selection accepted by the accepting unit, in an emphasized manner, compared with display corresponding to another scene, and
• the video image processing apparatus further comprises a partial video image output unit that outputs a partial video image comprising one scene corresponding to the selection accepted by the accepting unit.
