Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An information processing method, comprising:

• selecting, by a selection section, a plurality of frames of thumbnail targets, as thumbnail frames, from a moving image including a plurality of frames continuous in terms of time;
• dividing, by a division section, the selected thumbnail frames in units of pages each including a plurality of thumbnail frames continuous in terms of time;
• receiving, by a reproduction speed input section, a designation of a reproduction speed of the moving image;
• reproducing, by a reproduction processing section, the moving image at the designated reproduction speed;
• and
• displaying, by a thumbnail display processing section, a plurality of thumbnail images in the units of pages including a latest thumbnail image in a matrix arrangement with a thumbnail image corresponding to a thumbnail frame positioned closest to a time of day of the reproduced moving image being set as the latest thumbnail image, and displaying one or more of the thumbnail images that include at least the latest thumbnail image and are continuous in a time sequence, as moving-image-synchronized thumbnail images, in a form distinguishable from a different thumbnail image being displayed.

A program causing a computer to function as:

• a selection section configured to select a plurality of frames of thumbnail targets, as thumbnail frames, from a moving image including a plurality of frames continuous in terms of time;
• a division section configured to divide the selected thumbnail frames in units of pages each including a plurality of thumbnail frames continuous in terms of time;
• a reproduction speed input section configured to receive a designation of a reproduction speed of the moving image;
• a reproduction processing section configured to reproduce the moving image at the designated reproduction speed;
• and
• a thumbnail display processing section configured to display a plurality of thumbnail images in the units of pages including a latest thumbnail image in a matrix arrangement with a thumbnail image corresponding to a thumbnail frame positioned closest to a time of day of the reproduced moving image being set as the latest thumbnail image, and display one or more of the thumbnail images that include at least the latest thumbnail image and are continuous in a time sequence, as moving-image-synchronized thumbnail images, in a form distinguishable from a different thumbnail image being displayed.
