Abstract

According to one embodiment, a recorder/player including, a section identifying module configured to set a section designated by an initial point and an end point in an image being played back and to provide identification information to identify the section, a playlist creating module configured to set a playback order of playing back the section set by the section identifying module in accordance with an arrangement of the identification information or in accordance with descriptions of the identification information corresponding to the playback order, and a storage configured to retain the identification information set by the section identifying module.

Claims

1. A video apparatus comprising:

a segment identifying module configured to create a first segment designated by an initial point and an end point in a moving image being played back, and to provide identification information for the first segment;

a playlist creating module configured to set a playback order of the first segment in accordance with an arrangement of the identification information or in accordance with one or more descriptions of the identification information corresponding to the playback order; and

a memory configured to store the identification information of the first segment.

2. The video apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least one of the initial point and the end point of the first segment are configured to overlap a second segment.

3. The video apparatus of claim 2, wherein the playlist creating module is configured to set the playback order of the first segment in accordance with at least one of the descriptions corresponding to the playback order.

4. The video apparatus of claim 1, wherein the playlist creating module is configured to set the playback order of the first segment in accordance with at least one of the descriptions corresponding to the playback order.

5. The video apparatus of claim 3, wherein at least one of the descriptions is prepared by a different video apparatus.

6. The video apparatus of claim 4, wherein at least one of the descriptions is prepared by a different video apparatus.

7. The video apparatus of claim 3, wherein at least one of the descriptions is acquired via a network.

8. The video apparatus of claim 4, wherein at least one of the descriptions is acquired via a network.

9. The video apparatus of claim 3, wherein the playlist creating module is configured to set the playback order of the first segment in accordance with at least one of the descriptions corresponding to the playback order based on one or more characteristics of the first segment indicated by the identification information.

10. The video apparatus of claim 4, wherein the playlist creating module is configured to set the playback order of the first segment in accordance with at least one of the descriptions corresponding to the playback order based on one or more characteristics of the segment indicated by the identification information.

11. The video apparatus of claim 3, wherein the playlist creating module is configured to set the playback order of the first segment in accordance with at least one of the descriptions corresponding to the playback order based on one or more characteristics of the segment indicated by the identification information acquired via a network.

12. The video apparatus of claim 4, wherein the playlist creating module is configured to set the playback order of the first segment in accordance with at least one of the descriptions corresponding to the playback order based on one or more characteristics of the segment indicated by the identification information acquired via a network.

13. The video apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

a network controller configured to pass data to or from a network, the network controller being configured to provide the descriptions created by the playlist creating module to the network.

14. The video apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:
