Abstract

A tag data management apparatus for managing tag data indicative of an attribute of content data, comprising: an extraction section that extracts positional information included in the content data, the positional information being indicative of a position associated with the content data; and a priority order determination section that determines a priority order of the content data, based on the positional information extracted by the extraction section.

Claims

1. A tag data management apparatus for managing tag data indicative of an attribute of content data, comprising:

an extraction section that extracts positional information included in the content data, the positional information being indicative of a position associated with the content data; and

a priority order determination section that determines a priority order of the content data, based on the positional information extracted by the extraction section.

2. The tag data management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the priority order determination section determines the priority order based on each of a plurality of predetermined geographic areas.

3. The tag data management apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the extraction section extracts time information attached to the content data, the time information being indicative of a time associated with the content data, and

the priority order determination section determines a priority order of the content data, based on the time information extracted by the extraction section.

4. The tag data management apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the priority order determination section determines the priority order of the content data in accordance with at least either one of:

the number of content data having a position included in the predetermined geographic area; and

the number of persons who generate the content data having a position included in the predetermined geographic area.

5. The tag data management apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the content data is image data, and

the priority order determination section determines the priority order of the content data, in accordance with a result of image recognition using the image data.

6. The tag data management apparatus according to claim 5, wherein a result of the image recognition is at least either one of the number of objects and a facial expression of the objects.

7. The tag data management apparatus according to claim 2, comprising:

a first display processing section that displays an image indicative of the priority order of the content data having the positional information, for each of the plurality of the predetermined geographic areas.

8. The tag data management apparatus according to claim 2, comprising:

a second display processing section that displays an image indicative the priority order of the content data having the positional information at different time, for each of the plurality of the predetermined geographic areas.

9. A tag data management system for managing tag data indicative of an attribute of content data, comprising:

an extraction section that extracts positional information included in the content data, the positional information being indicative of a position associated with the content data; and

a priority order determination section that determines a priority order of the content data, based on the positional information extracted by the extraction section.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium including a computer program cause a computer to manage tag data indicative of an attribute of content data, the computer program cause the computer to perform a method comprising the steps of:

extracting positional information included in the content data, the positional information being indicative of a position associated with the content data; and

determining a priority order of the content data, based on the extracted positional information.

11. A tag data management method used in a tag data management system for managing tag data indicative of an attribute of content data, comprising the steps of:

extracting positional information included in the content data, the positional information being indicative of a position associated with the content data; and

determining a priority order of the content data, based on the extracted positional information.
