Information processing device, method, and program for generating a proxy image from a proxy file representing a moving image

An information processing method comprising:

• receiving, with an electronic processor, a plurality of consecutive frame images constituting a proxy file of a first moving image captured by one or more devices, the proxy file including less than all frame images of the first moving image;
• storing, with the electronic processor, the proxy file in a memory;
• generating, with the electronic processor, a proxy image that serves as a proxy for the first moving image by extracting a plurality of specific frame images at a fixed interval from the proxy file that is stored in the memory;
• and
• controlling, with the electronic processor, a display unit of a second device to display the proxy image that has a smaller data size than the first moving image,
• wherein the second device is separate and distinct from the one or more devices that captured the first moving image.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by an electronic processor, cause the electronic processor to perform a set of operations comprising:

• receiving a plurality of consecutive frame images constituting a proxy file of a first moving image captured by one or more devices, the proxy file including less than all frame images of the first moving image;
• controlling a memory to store the proxy file;
• generating a proxy image that serves as a proxy for the first moving image by extracting a plurality of specific frame images at a fixed interval from the proxy file that is stored in the memory;
• and
• controlling a display unit of a second device to display the proxy image that has a smaller data size than the first moving image,
• wherein the second device is separate and distinct from the one or more devices that captured the first moving image.
