Abstract
Disclosed is a signal processor includes a contents receiver receiving or storing contents of stream data, a characteristic extracting unit extracting a prescribed amount of characteristic of the contents received by the contents receiver, a detector detecting viewing time or hearing time for the contents received by the contents receiver, and a processor calculating information on a viewing status or hearing status of the contents determined based on an extraction status of the amount of characteristic extracted by the characteristic extracting unit and the viewing time or hearing time for the contents, and outputting the calculated information on the viewing status or hearing status of the contents.
Claims9
A signal processor comprising:
- a contents receiver receiving or storing contents of stream data;
- a characteristic extracting unit extracting a prescribed amount of characteristic of the contents received by the contents receiver;
- a detector detecting viewing time or hearing time for the contents received by the contents receiver;
- and
- a processor calculating information on a viewing status or hearing status of the contents determined based on an extraction status of the amount of characteristic extracted by the characteristic extracting unit and the viewing time or hearing time for the contents, and outputting the calculated information on the viewing status or hearing status of the contents.
A method of processing signals, comprising:
- extracting a predetermined amount of contents of received or stored stream data;
- detecting viewing time or hearing time of the contents;
- calculating information on a viewing status or hearing status of contents based on an extraction status of the amount of characteristic extracted by the characteristic extracting unit and the detected viewing time or hearing time;
- and
- outputting the calculated information on the viewing status or hearing status of the contents.
A computer program causing an information processing apparatus to execute signal processing, the computer program comprising:
- extracting a predetermined amount of contents of received or stored stream data;
- detecting viewing time or hearing time of the contents;
- calculating information on a viewing status or hearing status of contents based on an extraction status of the amount of characteristic extracted by the characteristic extracting unit and the detected viewing time or hearing time;
- and
- outputting the calculated information on the viewing status or hearing status of the contents.
A recording medium on which the computer program of claim is recorded.
