Video server apparatus, video editing system, and control method of video server apparatus

A video editing system comprising:

• an editing apparatus configured to edit contents data;
• and
• a video server apparatus operably connected to the editing apparatus and configured to record the contents data edited by the editing apparatus in a memory, and to play back the contents data recorded in the memory in response to a playback instruction,
• wherein the editing apparatus comprises:
• a recorder configured to register changed contents data in a database, and to register contents management information in the database while appending the contents management information to the changed contents data, wherein the contents management information comprises information indicating a contents ID to specify the contents data, a change start position, and a change end position;
• and
• a change request receiver configured to receive a change request to the video server apparatus after registration in the database, and
• the video server apparatus comprising:
• a table generator configured to generate a management table associating a contents ID with the contents data, and to store the management table in the memory upon recording of the contents data, wherein the contents ID corresponds to the contents data;
• a receiver configured to receive the contents management information of contents data to be changed from the editing apparatus if a change request of the contents data is received from the editing apparatus;
• and
• a controller configured to look-up the management table based on the contents ID in the contents management information, to edit the contents data recorded in the memory based on a look-up result of the management table, and to update the contents data corresponding to the contents ID in the management table after the editing.

A control method of a video server apparatus for recording contents data in a memory and playing back the contents data recorded in the memory in response to a playback instruction, comprising:

• generating a management table associating a contents ID with the contents data, and storing the management table in the memory upon recording of the contents data, wherein the contents ID corresponds with the contents data;
• receiving contents management information comprising information from a change request source upon generation of a change request for the contents data, wherein the contents management information comprises information indicating a contents ID to be changed, a change start position, and a change end position;
• and
• looking-up the management table based on the contents ID included in the acquired contents management information, editing the contents data recorded in the memory based on a look-up result of the management table, and updating the contents data corresponding to the contents ID in the management table after the editing.
