A content playback device includes: a video playback unit which plays content having plural scenes; an object appearance information acquisition unit which acquires, for each of the plural scenes, object appearance information of each of one or more objects which appear in the content by analyzing metadata which includes appearance scene data for identifying the one or more objects appearing in at least one of the scenes, the object appearance information indicating whether the object appears at least in or after the scene; and a display unit which presents the object appearance information acquired for a scene being played, when the video playback unit is playing the content.

Content playback device and content playback method

A content storage device is in a content storage processing system, which includes a plurality of content storage devices connect to one another via a network. The content storage device transmits metadata corresponding to a specified original content and collects metadata that is relevant to the metadata corresponding to the original content from other content storage devices. The content storage device adds information included in the collected metadata to the metadata corresponding to the original content to enrich information included in the metadata corresponding to the original content.

Content storage processing system, content storage processing method, and semiconductor integrated circuit

In a case where a chapter that introduces a predetermined non-heating step is being played back and execution of the non-heating step has not been completed, a moving image playback control section included in a terminal apparatus controls playback so that the chapter that is being played back is repeated or paused, and when execution of the non-heating step is completed, a subsequent chapter is played back.

Terminal device, method for controlling terminal device, and non-transitory recording medium on which computer program is recorded

A content output device for outputting contents to be displayed to users, including: a storage unit storing a plurality of contents, each being associated with its attribute; a first output control unit for outputting a predetermined content among the contents to a screen; a related content identifying unit for identifying, among the contents stored in the storage unit, a set of related contents whose attributes are related to an attribute of the predetermined content; a user preference identifying unit for identifying, among the contents stored in the storage unit, contents that match the preference of the user; and a second output control unit for outputting, to the screen, one or more contents that belong to both the set of related contents and the contents identified by the user preference identifying unit, thereby outputting images that are most likely to be desired by thy user.

Content output device, content output method, program, program recording medium, and content output integrated circuit

An access control device for use in a system for providing users with a content access service, the access control device obtaining a content including one or more pieces of personal information, storing a plurality of pieces of personal information in correspondence with a plurality of pieces of first user information each of which indicates one of (i) a user who is permitted by a person related to a corresponding piece of personal information to access a content including the corresponding piece of personal information, and (ii) a user who is not permitted by the person related to the corresponding piece of personal information to access the content, and determining whether or not to give permission to access the content obtained by the obtaining unit, in accordance with a piece of first user information stored in the storage unit in correspondence with the piece of personal information included in the content.
