## Abstract

An acquisition section 104 acquires a plurality of sets of content data and stores the plurality of sets of content data in a content storage section 132. An editing processing section 110 generates a stream of continuous data obtained by temporally concatenating a plurality of sets of content data. An opening image generation section 114 generates, for each content, a set of opening image data. A clipping processing section 116 clips at least a portion of a set of content image data. A concatenating section 118 generates an edited set of image data obtained by temporally concatenating the set of opening image data and a clipped set of content image data.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing device comprising:
an acquisition section that acquires a plurality of sets of content data; and
an editing processing section that generates a stream of continuous data obtained by temporally concatenating the plurality of sets of content data,
wherein the editing processing section includes
an opening image generation section that generates, for each content, a set of opening image data,
a clipping processing section that temporally clips at least a portion of a set of content image data, and
a concatenating section that generates an edited set of image data obtained by temporally concatenating the set of opening image data and the clipped set of content image data.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the opening image generation section generates the set of opening image data by using attribute data associated with a set of content data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the clipping processing section clips a set of content audio data to be allocated to the set of opening image data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the clipping processing section determines a reproduction duration time of each content including an opening image, according to a total number of the sets of content data to be temporally concatenated.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:
an order determination section that determines an order in which the plurality of sets of content data are to be concatenated.

### Claim 6

A content editing method for editing a plurality of sets of content data, the method comprising:
acquiring the plurality of sets of content data; and
generating a stream of continuous data obtained by temporally concatenating the plurality of sets of content data,
wherein the editing includes
generating, for each content, a set of opening image data,
temporally clipping at least a portion of a set of content image data, and
generating an edited set of image data obtained by temporally concatenating the set of opening image data and the clipped set of content image data.

### Claim 7

A program for a computer, comprising: by an acquisition section, acquiring a plurality of sets of content data; and by an editing processing section, editing of generating a stream of continuous data obtained by temporally concatenating the plurality of sets of content data,
wherein the editing includes
generating, for each content, a set of opening image data,
temporally clipping at least a portion of a set of content image data, and
generating an edited set of image data obtained by temporally concatenating the set of opening image data and the clipped set of content image data.
