An information processing apparatus includes a specification unit, a determination unit, and a generation unit. The specification unit specifies a relationship between a plurality of objects detected in a video. The determination unit determines arrangement of motion trajectories of the plurality of objects, the relationship between which has been specified by the specification unit, while maintaining a relative appearance order in the video and avoiding an overlap of the motion trajectories in a temporal direction. The generation unit generates a summary video of the video based on the arrangement determined by the determination unit.

Information processing apparatus, video synopsis method, and storage medium for video synopsis

Visibility of a summary video image is improved. An information processing apparatus generates a summary video image by changing an appearance order of a target object detected from a video image, the information processing apparatus including an identification unit configured to identify an identical target object based on data on a plurality of target objects detected from a video image, a determination unit configured to determine an arrangement of movement paths of two or more target objects identified as an identical target object by the identification unit such that the movement paths do not overlap in a time direction, and a generation unit configured to generate the summary video image of the video image based on the arrangement determined by the determination unit.

Information processing apparatus, video image summarization method, and storage medium

A contents display apparatus, which stores display schedule information indicating display schedules of a plurality of contents so as to sequentially display the plurality of contents, and displays contents on a display according to the display schedule information, receives a user operation associated with the display while a content is displayed, determines, with reference to metadata of respective contents, a content which is related to the content displayed when the user operation is received, and changes the display schedule information by changing the display schedule of the content determined as a related content.

Contents display apparatus and control method thereof

In order to prevent an image print and/or an image view from being visually monotonous, if it is determined that there is a similarity between similarity determination target images arranged in a specific area in an album, image processing is performed upon both or either of these similarity determination target images so as to eliminate the similarity between these similarity determination target images.

Image processing apparatus and image processing method

A display control apparatus includes an input unit which has plural types of keys and accepts an operation of a key from the user, a display unit which displays a screen which allows the user to operate the input unit, and a display controller which selectively displays plural screens of the display unit in accordance with the types of keys operated on the input unit. When the display controller controls the display unit to display a screen for making the user make a key operation using any one type of key of the plural types of keys, and accepts an operation of a key of a type other than the any one type of key, it switches the screen to another screen for making the user make an operation using the other type of key.

Display control apparatus and control method thereof, and computer program

An information processing apparatus inputs a coordinate value of a position designated on a screen which displays one or a plurality of objects, compares an input locus expressed by the input coordinate value string with a second locus, which is defined in advance as a locus used to give the instruction to execute a process for an object, and determines whether the input locus is a first locus or the second locus. When it is determined that the input locus is the first locus, the apparatus selects an object from the one or plurality of objects based on the display positions of the input locus and the object on the screen. When it is determined that the input locus is the second locus, the apparatus executes a process designated by the input locus with respect to the selected object.

Information processing apparatus, processing method thereof, and computer-readable storage medium

An object is designated as a designated object. Two or more image data items containing objects each being different from the designated object by an amount smaller than or equal to a first predetermined value are selected from among a specific image data item group. The selected two or more image data items are displayed in two or more display regions provided on a display unit. The objects each being different from the designated object by the amount smaller than or equal to the first predetermined value are defined as main objects, the two or more image data items are adjusted such that differences in position and size of the main objects in the display regions between the two or more image data items are made smaller than or equal to a second predetermined value, and the adjusted two or more image data items are displayed.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing apparatus that can alleviate the stress of a user by clearly showing the acquisition status of contents data that is held by a peripheral device in a situation in which a plurality of devices are connected by a network. Contents data including metadata and image data that are held in the peripheral devices is acquired. A list of at least one of device data that represent the peripheral devices, the metadata, and the image data is displayed on the display unit in accordance with a stage of acquisition of the contents data by the contents data acquiring unit.
