Information processing apparatus displaying indices of video contents, information processing method and information processing program

An information processing method comprising the steps of:

• specifying at least one of a plurality of video contents recorded on a recording medium;
• in response to acceptance of a generation instruction, reading a video content identified by identification information included in the generation instruction from said recording medium and generating an index element based on the read video content;
• in response to acceptance of a cancellation instruction, stopping generation of said index element based on the video content identified by identification information included in the cancellation instruction;
• in response to the event that said video content is specified, outputting said generation instruction including the identification information identifying the specified video content;
• and
• when a new video content is specified at a stage before the index element corresponding to said already specified video content is generated, outputting said cancellation instruction to stop generation of the index element corresponding to said already specified video content.

An information processing program causing a computer to execute the steps of:

• specifying at least one of a plurality of video contents recorded on a recording medium,
• in response to acceptance of a generation instruction, reading a video content identified by identification information included in the generation instruction from said recording medium and generating an index element based on the read video content;
• in response to acceptance of a cancellation instruction, stopping generation of said index element based on the video content identified by identification information included in the cancellation instruction;
• in response to the event that said video content is specified, outputting said generation instruction including the identification information identifying the specified video content;
• and
• when a new video content is specified at a stage before the index element corresponding to said already specified video content is generated, outputting said cancellation instruction to stop generation of the index element corresponding to said already specified video content.
