Digest video generation apparatus

An information processing system comprising:

• a server configured to store image data uploaded from one or more external devices;
• a digest video creating device configured to acquire designated image data from the image data stored on the server, and to create a digest video of the image data from the acquired designated image data;
• and
• a terminal device configured to acquire the digest video created by the digest video creating device and display the acquired digest video on a display, wherein
• the digest video creating device includes circuitry configured to:
• sort the designated image data based on a time at which the designated image data was captured;
• divide the sorted image data into a plurality of time slots;
• calculate, based on features of the designated image data corresponding to each time slot of the plurality of time slots, a time slot score for each of the plurality of time slots;
• allocate, based on the time slot score, a portion of a digest video to each of the plurality of time slots;
• generate, for each time slot, a local digest video by assigning an amount of the designated image data included in the time slot to the local digest video corresponding to the time slot;
• and
• generate the digest video by connecting the local digest videos generated for each of the plurality of time slots.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored therein that one executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method of generating a digest video, the method comprising:

• acquiring designated image data stored in a memory;
• sorting the designated image data based on a time at which the designated image data was captured;
• dividing the sorted image data into a plurality of time slots;
• calculating, based on features of the designated image data corresponding to each time slot of the plurality of time slots, a time slot score for each of the plurality of time slots;
• allocating, based on the time slot score, a portion of a digest video to each of the plurality of time slots;
• generating, for each time slot, a local digest video by assigning an amount of the designated image data included in the time slot to the local digest video corresponding to the time slot;
• and
• generating the digest video by connecting the local digest videos generated for each of the plurality of time slots.
