INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

An information processing apparatus may generate resource information used for playing back image content that can be divided into a plurality of zones. The information processing apparatus may include an image generator generating a still image from each of the plurality of zones, a face processor setting each of the plurality of zones to be a target zone and determining whether a face of a specific character which is determined to continuously appear in at least one zone before the target zone is contained in the still image generated from the target zone, and an information generator specifying, on the basis of a determination result obtained for each of the plurality of zones by the face processor, at least one zone in which the face of the specific character continuously appears as a face zone, and generating information concerning the face zone as one item of the resource information.

1. An information processing apparatus that generates resource information used for playing back image content that can be divided into a plurality of zones, comprising:
image generating means for generating a still image from each of the plurality of zones; face processing means for setting each of the plurality of zones to be a target zone and for determining whether a face of a specific character which is determined to continuously appear in at least one zone before the target zone is contained in the still image generated from the target zone by the image generating means; and information generating means for specifying, on the basis of a determination result obtained for each of the plurality of zones by the face processing means, at least one zone in which the face of the specific character continuously appears as a face zone, and for generating information concerning the face zone as one item of the resource information.
