Content reproduction order determination system, and method and program thereof

Abstract

A system comprising: a extraction unit that extracts from each content a signal feature series, being a series of signal features caused to correspond to positions on a time axis of the content; a generator for detects mutual similarity sections, being sections in which the signal features for different contents are similar to each other, from said signal feature series for each content, and generates the content to which each mutual similarity section belongs, information for specifying the position of the above mutual similarity section on the time axis of the content, and a link indicative of a correspondence relation of the mutual similarity section as mutual similarity section link information; and a determination unit that determines a reproduction order of the content based upon a relationship of the position of the mutual similarity section on the time axis of the content that said mutual similarity section link information indicates.
