Abstract

A video access system with which a utilization state of several types of video groups can be easily comprehended and a method thereof are provided. An on-air video, an edited video, and a material video are stored in a video storage part 106, and a mutual corresponding relation obtained from series of corresponding relations of these video groups is stored in a corresponding information storage part 108. When one of the on-air video, the edited video, and the material video is designated, a corresponding information search part 107 specifies other video corresponding to the designated video with reference to the mutual corresponding relation. The corresponding relation between the designated video and the specified video is visually displayed on a display part 102.

Claims

1. A video access system, wherein

a video of one of a first video group, a second video group produced by using the first video group, and a third video group produced by using the second video group is designated, whereby

a video of other video group having a corresponding relation with the designated video is specified, and the corresponding relation between the designated video and the specified video is displayed.

2. A video access system for accessing a desired video from a plurality of videos, comprising:

a first storage part for searchably storing a plurality of video groups having series of corresponding relations that a video of a next video group is produced by using at least one video of a video group;

a second storage part for searchably storing a mutual corresponding relation obtained from the series of corresponding relations; and

a control part wherein when a video of one of the plurality of video groups is designated, a video of other video group having a corresponding relation with the designated video is specified with reference to the second storage part, and the corresponding relation between the designated video and the specified video is displayed on a display part.

3. The video access system according to claim 2, wherein the second storage part searchably stores corresponding information showing that each video section corresponds to one video section of other video group with respect to each said plurality of video groups.

4. The video access system according to claim 2, further comprising a corresponding relation generation part for generating the mutual corresponding relation from the series of corresponding relations.

5. The video access system according to claim 2, wherein the control part contrast-displays a video section of the specified video based on a video section of the designated video.

6. The video access system according to claim 2, wherein when the specified video is designated in the corresponding relation between the designated video and the specified video, the control part searches the specified video from the first storage part and displays the specified video as a designated video on the display part.

7. A video access method for accessing a desired video from a plurality of videos, wherein

a) a plurality of video groups having series of corresponding relations that a video of a next video group is produced by using at least one video of a video group are searchably stored,

b) a mutual corresponding relation generated from the series of corresponding relations is stored,

c) when an at least one video of the plurality of video groups is designated, a video of other video group having a corresponding relation with the designated video is specified with reference to the mutual corresponding relation,

d) the designated video is displayed in a first region of a display screen, and

e) the corresponding relation between the designated video and the specified video is displayed in a second region of the display screen.

8. The video access method according to claim 7, wherein a given display form is prepared correspondingly to the respective plurality of video groups, and the corresponding relation between the designated video and the specified video is displayed in the second region by the display form corresponding to a video group to which the designated video belongs.

9. The video access method according to claim 8, wherein the display form contrast-displays a video section of the specified video based on a video section of the designated video.

10. The video access method according to claim 7, wherein when the specified video is designated in the display form wherein a corresponding relation between the designated video and the specified video is displayed, the steps c) to e) are repeated for the specified video as a designated video.

11. A computer program for making a computer execute a video access process to access a desired video from a plurality of video groups having series of corresponding relations that a video of a next video group is produced by using at least one video of a video group, comprising:

a step for storing a mutual corresponding relation generated from the series of corresponding relations;

a step wherein when a video of one of the plurality of video groups is designated, a video of other video group having a corresponding relation with the designated video is specified with reference to the mutual corresponding relation;

a step for displaying the designated video in a first region of a display screen; and

a step for displaying the corresponding relation between the designated video and the specified video in a second region of the display screen.

12. A video access method for accessing a desired video from a plurality of videos, wherein

a video of one of a first video group, a second video group produced by using the first video group, and a third video group produced by using the second video group is designated, whereby

a video of other video group having a corresponding relation with the designated video is specified, and the corresponding relation between the designated video and the specified video is displayed.

13. The video access method according to claim 12, wherein the corresponding relation is generated from series of corresponding relations that a video of a next video group is produced by using at least one video of a video group.

14. The video access method according to claim 13, wherein a given display form is prepared correspondingly to the respective plurality of video groups, and the corresponding relation between the designated video and the specified video is displayed by the display form corresponding to a video group to which the designated video belongs.

15. The video access method according to claim 14, wherein the display form contrast-displays a video section of the specified video based on a video section of the designated video.
