• and
• determining an object with the highest user relevance as the representative object.

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a storage configured to store a video;
• and
• a controller configured to process operations of:
• determining a representative object of the video from at least one object appearing in the video;
• dividing the video into at least one similar frame group;
• determining a representative frame of each similar frame group on the basis of an image score representing visual importance of the representative object;
• and
• determining, as a representative image, a frame of which the representative object has the highest image score from among the representative frames.
