Abstract
A display control device is provided for specifying a notable scene in content based on characteristic data included in one of video data and audio data of the content to be reproduced. A predetermined scene in the content is detected, based on an evaluation value, and a related image is displayed, in response to the detection of the notable scene in the content. A related image with a predetermined size based on an image of the notable scene may be presented to a display.
Claims17
A display control device, comprising:
- reproduction means for reproducing content;
- evaluation value operation means including a system controller for operating evaluation value for specifying a notable scene in the content, based on characteristic data included in one of video data and audio data of the content to be reproduced by the reproduction means, and for detecting a predetermined scene in the content;
- scene detection judgment means for judging whether or not the notable scene in the content has been detected, based on the evaluation value operated by the evaluation value operation means;
- and
- related image display control means for displaying, in response to the judgment of detection of the notable scene in the content by the scene detection judgment means, a related image based on an image of the notable scene thus detected, wherein
- the related image is obtained by generating a still image from a video picture reproduced at a previously designated time point, the video picture being included in the video data of a predetermined period of time to be reproduced previously to the notable scene.

A display control device, comprising:
- a reproduction section reproducing content;
- an evaluation value operation section including a system controller for operating evaluation value for specifying a notable scene in the content, based on characteristic data included in one of video data and audio data of the content to be reproduced by the reproduction section, and for detecting a predetermined scene in the content;
- a scene detection judgment section judging whether or not the notable scene in the content has been detected, based on the evaluation value operated by the evaluation value operation section;
- and
- a related image display control section displaying, in response to the judgment of detection of the notable scene in the content by the scene detection judgment section, a related image based on an image of the notable scene thus detected, wherein
- the related image is obtained by generating a still image from a video picture reproduced at a previously designated time point, the video picture being included in the video data of a predetermined period of time to be reproduced previously to the notable scene.

A display control method comprising:
- reproducing content;
- operating evaluation value for specifying a notable scene in the content, based on characteristic data included in one of video data and audio data of the content to be reproduced, and for detecting a predetermined scene in the content;
- judging whether or not the notable scene in the content has been detected, based on the operated evaluation value;
- and
- controlling, in response to the judgment of detection of the notable scene in the content, to display a related image with a predetermined size based on an image of the notable scene thus detected, wherein
- the related image is obtained by generating a still image from a video picture reproduced at a previously designated time point, the video picture being included in the video data of a predetermined period of time to be reproduced previously to the notable scene.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including computer program instructions that cause a computer to implement a method of identifying ratable content comprising:
- reproducing content;
- processing an evaluation value for specifying a notable scene in the content, based on characteristic data included in one of video data and audio data of the content, and for detecting a predetermined scene in the content;
- judging whether or not the notable scene in the content has been detected, based on the operated evaluation value;
- and
- controlling, in response to the judgment of detection of the notable scene in the content, to display a related image with a predetermined size based on an image of the notable scene thus detected, wherein
- the related image is obtained by generating a still image from a video picture reproduced at a previously designated time point, the video picture being included in the video data of a predetermined period of time to be reproduced previously to the notable scene.
