Abstract
A content replay apparatus includes an obtaining unit, a property extracting unit, a detecting unit, and an output unit. The obtaining unit obtains a content to be played. The property extracting unit extracts property values of the content. The detecting unit detects, when a replay instruction is input, a start point of a specific scene of the content, the start point having a property value equal to or more than a threshold and closest to an input time of the replay instruction. The output unit outputs the content from the start point.

A content replay apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit that obtains a content to be played;
- a property extracting unit that extracts property values of the content;
- a detecting unit that detects, upon a user input of a replay instruction, a start point of a specific scene of the content, the start point having a property value that is equal to or more than a threshold and closest to an input time of the replay instruction;
- and
- an output unit that outputs the content from the start point.
A content replay apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit that obtains a content to be played;
- a property extracting unit that extracts property values of the content;
- a detecting unit that detects, upon a user input of a replay instruction, a start point of a specific scene of the content within a detection interval that is of a predetermined time period and immediately precedes a point corresponding to an input time of the replay instruction, the start point having a property value equal to or more than a first threshold;
- a specifying unit that specifies, according to an input pattern of the replay instruction, the detection interval or a length thereof;
- and
- an output unit that outputs the content from the start point.
A content playback apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit that obtains a content to be played;
- a reading unit that reads the content obtained by the obtaining unit;
- a property extracting unit that extracts property values of the content read by the reading unit;
- a detecting unit that detects, when a replay instruction is input, a start point of a specific scene of the content, the start point having a property value equal to or more than a threshold and closest to an input time of the replay instruction;
- and
- an output unit that sequentially outputs the content read by the reading unit, and if the detecting unit detects the start point, outputs the content from the start point.
A content replay method comprising:
- obtaining a content to be played;
- extracting property values of the content;
- detecting, when a replay instruction is input, a start point of a specific scene of the content, the start point having a property value that is equal to or more than a threshold and closest to an input time of the replay instruction;
- and
- outputting the content from the start point.
A content playback method comprising:
- obtaining a content to be played;
- reading the content obtained at the obtaining;
- extracting property values of the content read at the reading;
- detecting, when a replay instruction is input, a start point of a specific scene of the content, the start point having a property value equal to or more than a threshold and closest to an input time of the replay instruction;
- and
- outputting, sequentially, the content read at the reading, and if the start point is detected at the detecting, outputting the content from the start point.
