Program additional data creating device, video program editing device, and video program data creating device

A method utilized by an information processing apparatus to display a picture for producing program ancillary data pertinent to each scene of a picture program to record, comprising:

• a processing step of reading out an input form, having, as an input form, information pertinent to a scene as an object for preparation, from a recording medium;
• a processing step of displaying the input form read out at said processing step on a display picture;
• a processing step of extracting a frame picture of the scene corresponding to the program ancillary data and recording said frame picture as an index picture and to create link information linking to video data of the scene;
• a layout information holding step of holding layout information including a display position of the program ancillary data on the screen;
• a data receiving step of receiving data, generated to identify picture material, in real-time from an image pickup camera, and a detecting step of detecting a scene change point based on a unique material identifier to record new information when the scene change point is detected,
• wherein the program ancillary data includes a first ID of a meta-pocket representing a first display picture for displaying information of commodities used in a single scene and a second ID of a meta-mall representing a second display for over viewing meta-pocket associated with a plurality of scene,
• wherein the program ancillary data includes information for commodities used by a performer in each scene of the picture program and GPS information of a store that provides the commodities for purchase, and
• wherein the program ancillary data includes link information linking to the recorded index picture.

A picture program editing apparatus, having program data, containing picture data and acoustic data, as an editing material, comprising:

• a program ancillary data generating unit to generate program ancillary data pertinent to each scene of a picture program to be recorded, said program ancillary data generating unit including a display control unit to demonstrate on a display-picture an input form having, as an input item, the information pertinent to a scene as an object of preparation;
• a program ancillary data correlating unit to correlate the information specifying a relevant scene with the information as input through said input form, and outputting the resulting information;
• an index picture creating unit to extract a frame picture of the scene corresponding to the program ancillary data and recording said frame picture as an index picture and to create link information linking to video data of the scene;
• a layout information holding unit to hold layout information including a display position of the program ancillary data on the screen;
• and
• a data receiving unit to receive data, generated to identify picture material, in real-time from an image pickup camera,
• wherein the program ancillary data includes a first ID of a meta-pocket representing a first display picture for displaying information of commodities used in a single scene and a second ID of a meta-mall representing a second display for over viewing meta-pocket associated with a plurality of scene,
• wherein the program ancillary data includes information for commodities used by a performer in each scene of the picture program and GPS information of a store that provides the commodities for purchase,
• wherein the program ancillary data includes link information linking to the recorded index picture, and wherein the data receiving unit includes a detecting unit to detect a scene change point based on a unique material identifier to record new information when the scene change point is detected.

A computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded thereon, said program being configured for a computer to implement, at the time of producing program ancillary data pertinent to each scene of a picture program to be recorded, the program comprising:

• a function of demonstrating, on a display picture, an input form having, as an input item, the information relevant to a scene to be produced;
• a function of correlating the information to identify an associated scene with the information input through an input form to generate program ancillary data;
• a function of extracting a frame picture of the scene corresponding to the program ancillary data and recording said frame picture as an index picture and to create link information linking to video data of the scene;
• a function of holding layout information including a display position of the program ancillary data on the screen;
• a function of receiving data, generated to identify a picture material, in real-time from an image pickup camera, and a function of detecting a scene change point based on a unique material identifier to record new information when the scene change point is detected,
• wherein the program ancillary data includes a first ID of a meta-pocket representing a first display picture for displaying information of commodities used in a single scene and a second ID of a meta-mall representing a second display for over viewing meta-pocket associated with a plurality of scene,
• wherein the program ancillary data includes information for commodities used by a performer in each scene of the picture program and GPS information of a store that provides the commodities for purchase, and
• wherein the program ancillary data includes link information linking to the recorded index picture.
