Abstract

There is provided a content tag attachment support device enabling a person to perform both tag attachment work and correction word and suppressing increase of the work time. In this device, audio recognition means (104) recognizes audio inputted. Tag generation means (103) gives data obtained by audio recognition as a tag to the content reproduced by content reproducing means (101). Tag correction means (108) sends tag correction information to the tag generation means (103) and sends tag correction start completion report information to content reproduction control means (109). The content reproduction control means (109) controls the content reproducing means (101) so as to temporarily stop the content reproduction in synchronization with a start of the tag correction work and resume the content reproduction in synchronization with the end of the tag correction work.

Claims

1. A content tagging support apparatus that supports a content tagging operation, comprising:

a speech input section that receives speech as input;

a speech recognition section that performs recognition processing of the inputted speech;

a playback section that plays content;

a tag generating section that combines data obtained by the recognition processing of the inputted speech with a playback point in the content where the speech is inputted, and outputs the combination as a content tag;

a tag correcting section that outputs tag correction information for correcting a tag added to the content to the tag generating section; and

a content playback control section that outputs playback control information for controlling a content playback, to the content playback section, wherein;

the tag correcting section outputs tag correction start and end report information for reporting a start and an end of a tag correction operation according to the tag correction information, to the content playback section; and

the content playback control section controls the content playback section such that the content playback is paused in synchronization with a start of tag correction operation and is restarted in synchronization with an end of the tag correction operation, according to the tag correction start and end report information outputted from the tag correcting section.

2. The content tagging support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the content playback section sets a restarted playback speed for the content playback, the restarted playback speed being employed when the content playback is restarted after a pause, faster than the default speed which is the playback speed of the content playback before the pause.

3. The content tagging support apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the content playback control section sets the restarted playback speed to a value calculated by an equation of:

unit_time/(unit_time−

the_number_of_corrections_per_unit_time×

time_per_correction_operation).

4. The content tagging support apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the content playback control section changes the restarted playback speed according to types of content played by the content playback section.

5. The content tagging support apparatus according to claim 2, wherein, when the content playback is restarted after the pause, the content playback control section moves the content playback point a predetermined period backward.

6. The content tagging support apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising an excitement detecting section that detects a degree of excitement in a part of the content played by the content playback section,

wherein the content playback control section changes the playback speed of the content played by the content playback section according to a result of detection by the excitement detecting section.

7. The content tagging apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a recording section that generates content while recording video and,

wherein, when the playback of a content generated by the recording section is restarted after the pause, the content playback control section skips the content to a latest point available for playback.

8. The tagging support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, when a content playback is restarted after the pause, the content playback control section shows one or more playback points as options and skips the content playback to the selected playback point.

9. A content tagging method that supports content tagging operation, comprising:

a tag correction start monitoring step of monitoring a start of a tag correction operation for correcting a tag added to content where a playback is started;

a content playback pause step of pausing a content playback when the tag correction start monitor step detects the start of the tag correction operation;

a tag correction monitoring step of monitoring an end of the tag correction operation when the content playback pause step pauses the content playback; and

a content playback restarting step of restarting the content playback when the tag correction end monitor step detects the end of the tag correction operation.

10. The content tagging support method according to claim 9, wherein the content playback restarting step restarts the content playback faster than the default speed which is the playback speed of the content playback before the pause.
