A disc reproducing apparatus includes: program readout means for playing back a disc loaded therein to read a program recorded thereon; disc-content readout means for executing the read program to read a content recorded on the disc; network-content acquisition means for executing the read program to acquire a content stored in a device connected over a network; and display control means for executing the read program to control display of the content read from the disc, and the content acquired from the device connected over the network.

Disc reproducing apparatus and method, program, and recording medium

A content display control apparatus includes control functions, in which, a content is obtained, data associated with a character string corresponding to the content is obtained, the character string associated with the data is segmented into a line in accordance with a criterion determined in advance, a display duration time of the character string is set on a line-by-line basis, the segmented line is sequentially superimposed and displayed in accordance with the corresponding display duration time set thereby, the number of characters included in the segmented line is counted, a period of time corresponding to the counted number of characters is calculated, the calculated period of time is set as the display duration time corresponding to the segmented line, and subsequent to completion of displaying of the segmented line of the character string corresponding to the obtained content, a different content is displayed.

Content display control apparatus, method therefor, program therefor, and recording medium therefor

An electronic apparatus includes: an extraction section extracting a subject area having a predetermined feature in an image; a first calculation section calculating a first blur degree indicating a blur degree of the extracted subject area; a second calculation section calculating, when the number of subject areas from which the first blur degree is calculated is one, a second blur degree indicating a blur degree of the entire image based on the first blur degree, and calculating, when the number of subject areas from which the first blur degree is calculated is plural, the second blur degree based on a value obtained by performing weighted averaging on the plural first blur degrees in accordance with dimensions of the plural subject areas; and a sorting section sorting an image having the calculated second blur degree equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value, as a blur image, from plural images.

Electronic apparatus, blur image sorting method, and program

A moving image creating apparatus includes a memory that stores a plurality of template files each of which holds a plurality of component templates each for accommodating an image. An input device that selects any one of the template files stored in the memory. A processing unit analyzes metadata about each of a plurality of images. The processing unit analyzes metadata about each of the component templates in the selected template file. Further, the processing unit places the images into the component templates of the selected template file in accordance with the analyzed metadata about the images and the analyzed metadata about the component templates and places one of the images into one of the component templates of the selected template file, in response to a determination that none of the metadata about each of the images matches the analyzed metadata about the one of the component templates.
