Contents management system, image processing device in contents management system, and link information generating method of image processing device

An information processing device comprising:

• a pasting unit configured to perform a pasting operation of pasting, onto document data being edited, link information for accessing contents managed by a management server;
• an acquiring unit configured to acquire reproduction starting point information of the video data according to an instruction to acquire the reproduction starting point information indicating a reproduction starting point of the video data, the reproduction starting point information being a time point at which an elapsed time has sassed after starting to record the video data;
• a generating unit configured to generate the link information based on the reproduction starting point information acquired by the acquiring unit;
• and
• a storing unit configured to store, in memory used for temporarily storing the link information to be pasted onto the document data, the link information generated by the generating unit in association with contents content information descriptively indicating content of the video data to be accessed from the link information, when the link information is pasted onto the document data being edited, the contents content information being selected and set by a user via a user interface;
• and
• the video data is accessed based on the link information which is based on the reproduction starting point information so that the video data is reproduced from the time point at which the elapsed time has passed after starting to record the video data.

A link information generating method performed in an information processing device configured to paste, onto document data being edited, link information for accessing contents managed by a management server, and access the video data managed by the management server based on the pasted link information, the information processing device including an acquiring unit, a generating unit and a storing unit, the link information generating method comprising:

• an acquiring step of acquiring, by the acquiring unit of the information processing device, reproduction starting point information of the video data according to an instruction to acquire the reproduction starting point information indicating a reproduction starting point of the video data, the reproduction starting point information being a time point at which an elapsed time has passed after starting to record the video data;
• a generating step of generating, by the generating unit of the information processing device, the link information for accessing the video data based on the reproduction starting point information acquired in the acquiring step;
• and
• a storing step of storing, by the storing unit of the information processing device, in memory used for temporarily storing the link information to be pasted onto the document data, the link information generated in the generating step in association with contents content information descriptively indicating content of the video data to be accessed from the link information, when the link information is pasted onto the document data being edited, the contents content information being selected and set by a user via a user interface;
• and
• the video data is accessed based on the link information which is based on the reproduction starting point information so that the video data is reproduced from the time point at which the elapsed time has passed after starting to record the video data.
