Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a storage device configure to store cheer level information which indicate a time change of a cheer level included in video content data and applause level information which indicate a time change of applause level included in the video content data, and video content information displaying module configure to display two types of graphs of a cheer graph showing a time change of the cheer level in accordance with the cheer level information and an applause graph showing a time change of the applause level in accordance with the applause level information in a volume level indication area in a two-dimensional display area.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An electronic apparatus comprising:
 a storage device configure to store cheer level information which indicate a time change of a cheer level included in video content data and applause level information which indicate a time change of applause level included in the video content data; and   video content Information displaying module configure to display two types of graphs of a cheer graph showing a time change of the cheer level in accordance with the cheer level information and an applause graph showing a time change of the applause level in accordance with the applause level information in a volume level indication area in a two-dimensional display area, an abscissa of the cheer graph and the applause graph indicating a time axis, an ordinate of the cheer graph and the applause graph indicates the cheer level or the applause level, the time axis of the two types of graphs indicating a start position to an end position of the video content data.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising detecting module configure to analyze audio data included in the video content data and detecting the cheer level and the applause level included in the video content data. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the video content information displaying module superimposes one of the cheer graph and the applause graph on the other of the cheer graph and the applause graph to be displayed in such a manner that a zero level of the cheer level becomes equal to a zero level of the applause level. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising inputting module configure to move a bar that moves on the time axis in the volume level indication area in accordance with an input operation by a user,
 wherein the two-dimensional display area has a scene thumbnail image display area which is displayed on one of or both a lower side and an upper side of the volume level indication area, and   the video content information displaying module displays in the scene thumbnail image display area a representative image in the video content data associated with a position on the time axis at which the bar is placed.   
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the scene thumbnail image display area is an area which displays a plurality of images along the time axis direction, and it displays the representative image with an original aspect ratio and displays any other image while reducing its size in a lateral direction. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 4 , further comprising playback processing module configure to start playback of the video content data at a time point corresponding to a time position at which the bar is placed or a time point which is a predetermined time before the time point when an event instructing playback of the video content data is input. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , further comprising section attribute information outputting module configure to analyze the audio data included in the video content data and generating section attribute information indicating a start time point and an end time point of at least one predetermined attribute section in a plurality of attribute sections including a commercial section, a music section where music is put on, and a talk section where a person is having a talk included in the video content data,
 wherein the video content information displaying module displays in the two-dimensional display area a section bar including a bar region indicating a position of the predetermined attribute section in a sequence from a start position to an end position of the video content data based on the section attribute information.   
     
     
         8 . A scene-type display method comprising:
 analyzing audio data included in video content data, and generating cheer level information indicating a time change of cheer level included in the video content data and applause level information indicating a change in applause level included in the video content data; and   displaying two types of graphs having a cheer graph showing a time change of the cheer level in accordance with the cheer level information and an applause graph showing a time change of the applause level in accordance with the applause level information in a volume level indication area in a two-dimensional display area,   wherein an abscissa of the cheer graph and the applause graph indicates a time axis, an ordinate of the same indicates the cheer level or the applause level, and the time axis of the two graphs indicates a is start position to an end position of the video content data.   
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein one of the cheer graph and the applause graph is superimposed on the other of the cheer graph and the applause graph to be displayed in the volume level indication area in such a manner that a zero level of the cheer level becomes equal to a zero level of the applause level. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein a bar which moves on the time axis in accordance with an input operation by a user is displayed in the volume level indication area, and
 a representative image in the video content data associated with a position on the time axis at which the bar is placed is displayed in the scene thumbnail image display area in the two-dimensional display area.   
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein the scene thumbnail image display area is displayed on one of or both a lower side and an upper side of the volume level indication area, and
 the scene thumbnail image display area is an area which displays a plurality of images included in the video content data along the time axis direction, the representative image is displayed with an original aspect ratio, and any other image is displayed while reducing its size in a lateral direction.   
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 10 , wherein, when an event instructing playback of the video content data is input in a state where the bar is displayed, playback of the video content data is started from a time point corresponding to a time position at which the bar is placed or a time point which is a predetermined time before the time point. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein audio data included in the video content data is analyzed, and section attribute information indicating a start time point and an end time point of at least one predetermined attribute section in a plurality of attribute sections including a commercial section, a music section where music is put on, and a talk section where a person is having a talk included in the video content data is generated, and
 a section bar including a bar region indicating a position of the predetermined attribute section in a sequence from a start position to an end position of the video content data is displayed in the two-dimensional display area.
