Moving image processing apparatus, computer-readable medium storing thumbnail image generation program, and thumbnail image generation method

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program for generating a thumbnail image, the computer program causing a computer to perform a procedure comprising:

• acquiring data indicating how a viewing rate of a broadcast program varies with time during a broadcast time of the broadcast program in which moving image data is broadcast;
• extracting an image out of the moving image data based on the data acquired;
• producing a thumbnail image from the extracted image;
• generating thumbnail image data indicating the produced thumbnail image;
• and
• outputting the generated thumbnail image data, and
• wherein indicating a relationship between each time during the broadcast time of the broadcast program and a writing speed of a posting of a viewer relating to the broadcast program is acquired;
• and
• a time point in the broadcast time the writing speed reaches a maximum is determined based on the acquired data of the writing speed, and an image at the determined time point, out of the moving image data is extracted.

A thumbnail image generation method executed by a computer, the method comprising:

• acquiring data indicating how a viewing rate of a broadcast program varies with time during a broadcast time of the broadcast program in which moving image data is broadcast;
• extracting an image out of the moving image data based on the data acquired;
• producing a thumbnail image from the extracted image;
• generating thumbnail image data indicating the produced thumbnail image;
• and
• outputting the generated thumbnail image data, and
• wherein indicating a relationship between each time during the broadcast time of the broadcast program and a writing speed of a posting of a viewer relating to the broadcast program is acquired;
• and
• a time point in the broadcast time the writing speed reaches a maximum is determined based on the acquired data of the writing speed, and an image at the determined time point, out of the moving image data in the memory is extracted.
