MULTIMEDIA CONTENTS PROVIDING METHOD, DEVICE, PROGRAM AND RECORD MEDIUM RECORDING THE PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To give a label name of a select menu of multimedia contents provided to a user even if the multimedia contents are not suitably classified.

SOLUTION: A cluster information creating part 10 sorts the retrieved similar multimedia contents groups in the order of decreasing the similarity, and adds a cluster keyword representing the characteristics of the similar multimedia contents group to create the cluster information. A regeneration list creating part 11 creates a regeneration list by each cluster information, in which the cluster keyword is described at the beginning, and then summary description on each attribute of the multimedia contents is written in the order of decreasing the similarity. A menu screen creating part 12 extracts a cluster keyword of the regeneration list, and provides the list as a menu screen to a user terminal. The regeneration list creating part 11 presents the regeneration list linked with the cluster keyword selected by the user to the user.
