Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a structure analysis section that analyzes display control data in which information related to display control is written and which includes a plurality of structural units, and that extracts the structural unit included in the display control data, a layout setting section that sets layout information which is used when displaying the display control data on a display screen based on the structural unit extracted by the structure analysis section, a keyword extraction section that extracts a keyword from a display content corresponding to the structural unit, and a content search section that searches image content corresponding to the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction section. The layout setting section places the image content searched by the content search section in a display region, in which the structural unit including the keyword corresponding to the image content is displayed.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a structure analysis section to analyze display control data, in which information related to display control is written and which includes a plurality of structural units, and to extract a structural unit from the plurality of structural units included in the display control data;

a layout setting section to set layout information, which is used when displaying the display control data on a display screen, based on the structural unit extracted by the structure analysis section;

a keyword extraction section to extract a keyword from display content corresponding to the structural unit; and

a content search section to search image content corresponding to the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction section,

wherein the layout setting section places the image content searched by the content search section in a display region, in which the structural unit including the keyword corresponding to the image content is displayed.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a selected subject determination section to determine a display content included in a selected region on the display screen, which is selected by user operation,

wherein the layout setting section generates position information, as the layout information, that includes coordinates indicating a position at which a display content corresponding to each structural unit is displayed on the display screen, and

wherein the selected subject determination section refers to the position information generated by the layout setting section, and, when at least a part of a region in which the display content corresponding to the structural unit is included in the selected region, determines that the structural unit is selected.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the layout setting section sets a placement position of the image content within the display region by using coordinates indicating a position within the display screen based on the generated position information.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the layout setting section further writes, in a corresponding structural unit, information related to the image content and information indicating a placement position of the image content within the display region.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the keyword extraction section analyzes a type of the structural unit from which a keyword is extracted based on a type of a tag included in the structural unit, and, when the tag is a tag which defines a predetermined structure in the display screen, extracts at least one keyword from the structural unit including the tag.

6. An information processing method comprising the steps of:

analyzing display control data in which information related to display control is written and which includes a plurality of structural units, and extracting a structural unit from the plurality of structural units included in the display control data;

setting layout information which is used when displaying the display control data on a display screen based on the structural unit;

extracting a keyword from display content corresponding to the structural unit;

searching image content corresponding to the extracted keyword; and

placing the searched image content in a display region, in which the structural unit including the keyword corresponding to the image content is displayed.

7. A program for causing a computer to realize

a structure analysis function to analyze display control data in which information related to display control is written and which includes a plurality of structural units, and to extract the structural unit from the plurality of structural units included in the display control data,

a layout setting function to set layout information which is used when displaying the display control data on a display screen based on the structural unit extracted by the structure analysis function,

a keyword extraction function to extract a keyword from display content corresponding to the structural unit,

a content search function to search image content corresponding to the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction function;

and

an image content placement function to place the image content searched by the content search function in a display region, in which the structural unit including the keyword corresponding to the image content is displayed.

8. An information processing system comprising:

an information processing apparatus which includes

a structure analysis section to analyze display control data in which information related to display control is written and which includes a plurality of structural units, and to extract the structural unit from the plurality of structural units included in the display control data, and

a layout setting section to set layout information which is used when displaying the display control data on a display screen based on the structural unit extracted by the structure analysis section; and

a content management server which includes;

a keyword extraction section to extract a keyword from display content corresponding to the extracted structural unit based on a extraction result of the structural unit transmitted from the information processing apparatus, and

a content search section that marches to search image content corresponding to the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction section,

wherein the layout setting section places the image content searched by the content management server in a display region, in which the structural unit including the keyword corresponding to the image content is displayed.
