Abstract
In a device for generating a digest of a television broadcast program containing subtitle information, a character number calculation section calculates, based on the subtitle information, a character number of a subtitle displayed in each of segments provided at regular intervals. A digest scene specifying section compares the calculated character number with a threshold and specifies, as one or more digest scenes of the television broadcast program, one or more segments in which the calculated character number is larger than the threshold.
