Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a memory that stores schedule information that indicates a start time, an end time, and an event name for each of events; and a processor that operates to: obtain first video management information from an external video recorder, the first video management information indicating a recording start time and a recording end time for each of videos recorded by the external video recorder; determine the videos having the recording start time and the recording end time within the start time and the end time for each of the events by referring to the schedule information and the first video management information; and generate a second video management information from the first video management information by appending the event name to the determined videos.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store schedule information indicative of a start time, an end time, and an event name of an event; and

a processor configured to obtain first video management information from an external video recorder, the first video management information indicative of a recording start time and a recording end time of a video recorded by the external video recorder, configured to determine the video comprising the recording start time and the recording end time within the start time and the end time for the event by referring to the schedule information and the first video management information, and configured to generate a second video management information from the first video management information by appending the event name to the determined video.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor further configured to obtain the video from the external video recorder based on the second video management information, and configured to control a storage device in order to store the obtained video with the second video management information on an external storage media.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor further configured to generate the second video management information from the first video management information by appending reference information for a plurality of sets of the schedule information when the plurality of sets of the schedule information is comprised in the first video management information.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor further configured to generate playback order information indicative of an order of playing back the video corresponding to a plurality of the first video management information when the plurality of sets of the first video management information is comprised in is the second video management information.

5. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store schedule information indicative of a start time, an end time, and an event name of events; and

a processor configured to obtain first video management information from an external video recorder, the first video management information indicative of a recording start time and a recording end time of the video recorded by the external video recorder, wherein the recording start time and the recording end time being within the start time and the end time of an event selected from among the events comprised in the schedule information stored in the memory, and configured to generate a second video management information from the first video information by appending the event name to the video indicated by the first video management information.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the processor further configured to obtain the video from the external video recorder based on the second video management information, and to control a storage device in order to store the obtained video with the second video management information on an external storage media.

7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the processor further configured to generate the second video management information from the first video management information by appending reference information for a plurality of sets of the schedule information when the plurality of sets of the schedule information is comprised in the first video management information.

8. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the processor further configured to generate playback order information indicative of an order of playing back the video corresponding to a plurality of sets of the first video management information when the plurality of sets of the first video management information is comprised in the second video management information.

9. An information processing apparatus comprising a processor configured to obtain schedule information and first video management information from an external video recorder, the schedule information indicative of a start time, an end time, and an event name of an event, the first video management information indicative of a recording start time and a recording end time for the video recorded by the external video recorder, configured to determine the video having the recording start time and the recording end time within the start time and the end time for the event by referring to the schedule information and the first video management information, and configured to generate a second video management information from the first video management information by appending the event name to the determined video.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processor further configured to obtain the video from the external video recorder based on the second video management information, and to control a storage device in order to store the obtained video with the second video management information on an external storage media.

11. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processor further configured to generate the second video management information from the first video management information by appending reference information for referring to a plurality of sets of the schedule information when the plurality of sets of the schedule information is comprised in the first video management information.

12. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the processor further configured to generate playback order information indicative of an order for playing back the video corresponding to a plurality of sets of the first video management information when a plurality of sets of the first video management information is comprised in the second video management information.
