## Abstract

An information processing apparatus comprising that includes a reproduction unit to reproduce video content comprising a plurality of frames; a memory to store a table including object identification information identifying an object image, and frame identification information identifying a frame of the plurality of frames that includes the object image; and a processor to extract the frame including the object image from the video content and generate display data of a reduced image corresponding to the frame for display.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing apparatus comprising:
a reproduction unit configured to reproduce video content comprising a plurality of frames;
a memory configured to store object identification information identifying an object image, a keyword corresponding to the object identification information, frame identification information identifying a frame of the plurality of frames that includes the object image, and information indicating a number of times the object image is included in the frame;
a processor configured to
extract the frame including the object image from the video content; and
generate display data including a reduced image corresponding to the frame for display and additional information indicating the number of times the object image is included in the frame.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:
a user interface configured to receive a user selection corresponding to the object image.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the processor is configured to detect the object image corresponding to the object identification information from the frame when the video content is reproduced.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the processor is configured to generate a progress bar displaying a total playback time and a playback progress of the video content.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein
the processor is configured to populate the progress bar with a predetermined mark correlating the reduced image with the progress bar based on playback time information of the frame.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:
a user interface configured to receive a selection corresponding to the reduced image, wherein said processor is configured to move a reproduction position of the video content to a reproduction position of the frame corresponding to the selected reduced image.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the processor is configured to detect the object image from each of the plurality of frames of the video content during reproduction to generate the object identification information identifying the object image, frame identification information identifying each of the plurality of frames that include the object image, and information indicating a number of times the object image is included in each of the plurality of frames that include the object image.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:
a user interface configured to display an object detection window displaying a plurality of object images for selection, and receive an input corresponding to one of the plurality of displayed object images, wherein
the processor is configured to extract a frame from the plurality of frames including the selected object image, and generate the display data including said reduced image from the extracted frame and indicating a number of times the object image is included in each of the plurality of frames that include the object image.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)
