Method and apparatus for rearrangement of media data using visual representations of the same
First Claim
1. A method of rearrangement of media data using visual representations of the media data via an operation unit of an apparatus, each item of the media data, being associated with temporal metadata, the method comprising:
- changing a position of the visual representation of a first media data item from a first temporal position to a second temporal position upon receipt of a user input to an input unit of the apparatus, wherein positions of visual representations of the media data items between the first and the second temporal positions are automatically changed in a same direction as a direction of position change of the visual representation of the first media data item, while positions of visual representations of media data items located opposite to the direction of position change relative to the first temporal position remain unchanged.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus for rearrangement of media data using visual representations of the media data are described. A displaying unit displays visual representations of media data items in a temporal order according to temporal metadata of the media data items. An operation unit changes the position of the visual representation of a first media data item upon receipt of a user input. Automatically, the position of the visual representations of some other media data items are changed corresponding to the position change of the visual representation of the first media data item.

11. An apparatus configured to rearrange media data using visual representations of the media data, each item of the media data being associated with temporal metadata, the apparatus comprising:
-
an input unit configured to receive a user input; and an operation unit configured to change a position of the visual representation of a first media data item from a first temporal position to a second temporal position upon receipt of a user input, wherein positions of visual representations of the media data items between the first and the second temporal positions are automatically changed in a same direction as a direction of position change of the visual representation of the first media data item, while positions of visual representations of media data items located opposite to the direction of position change relative to the first temporal position remain unchanged. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein instruction for rearrangement of media data using visual representations of the media data, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
change the position of the visual representation of a first media data item from a first temporal position to a second temporal position upon receipt of a user input, wherein positions of visual representations of the media data items between the first and the second temporal positions are automatically changed in a same direction as a direction of position change of the visual representation of the first media data item, while positions of visual representations of media data items located opposite to the direction of position change relative to the first temporal position remain unchanged.
