Abstract

An image reproducing device connected to a reproducing unit that reproduces image data includes an extraction unit configured to extract first-condition-satisfying-image data that satisfies a first extraction condition from image data stored in a storage unit; a voice keyword extraction unit configured to extract a keyword that matches a voice input to a voice input unit; and a presentation unit configured to determine, while the first-condition-satisfying-image data is being reproduced by the reproducing unit, a second extraction condition based on a relationship between the first extraction condition applied when extracting the first-condition-satisfying-image data being reproduced and the keyword that has been extracted, and present information pertinent to second-condition-satisfying-image data that satisfies the second extraction condition among the image data stored in the storage unit.

Claims

1. An image reproducing device connected to a reproducing unit that reproduces image data, the image reproducing device comprising:

an extraction unit configured to extract first-condition-satisfying-image data that satisfies a first extraction condition from image data stored in a storage unit;

a voice keyword extraction unit configured to extract a keyword that matches a voice input to a voice input unit; and

a presentation unit configured to determine, while the first-condition-satisfying-image data is being reproduced by the reproducing unit, a second extraction condition based on a relationship between the first extraction condition applied when extracting the first-condition-satisfying-image data being reproduced and the keyword that has been extracted, and present information pertinent to second-condition-satisfying-image data that satisfies the second extraction condition among the image data stored in the storage unit.

2. The image reproducing device according to claim 1, wherein

the second extraction condition is for extracting the image data by a narrower extraction range than the first extraction condition.

3. The image reproducing device according to claim 1, wherein

the first extraction condition is pertinent to a time period, and

the second extraction condition is for extracting the image data of a time period that comes before or after the time period of the first extraction condition.

4. The image reproducing device according to claim 1, wherein

the second extraction condition is for extracting image data including a particular person.

5. An image reproducing device connected to a reproducing unit that reproduces image data, the image reproducing device comprising:

an extraction unit configured to extract first-condition-satisfying-image data that satisfies a first extraction condition from image data stored in a storage unit;

a voice keyword extraction unit configured to extract a keyword that indicates enthusiasm of a user from a voice input to a voice input unit; and

a presentation unit configured to calculate, while the first-condition-satisfying-image data is being reproduced by the reproducing unit, an enthusiasm degree of the user based on the keyword indicating enthusiasm of the user that has been extracted, and present information pertinent to second-condition-satisfying-image data that satisfies a second extraction condition relevant to the first extraction condition among the image data stored in the storage unit, according to the enthusiasm degree of the user that has been calculated.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an image reproducing program that causes a computer, which is connected to a reproducing unit that reproduces image data, to execute a method comprising:

extracting first-condition-satisfying-image data that satisfies a first extraction condition from image data stored in a storage unit;

extracting a keyword that matches a voice input to a voice input unit; and

determining, while the first-condition-satisfying-image data is being reproduced by the reproducing unit, a second extraction condition based on a relationship between the first extraction condition applied when extracting the first-condition-satisfying-image data being reproduced and the keyword that has been extracted, and presenting information pertinent to second-condition-satisfying-image data that satisfies the second extraction condition among the image data stored in the storage unit.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 6, wherein

the second extraction condition is for extracting the image data by a narrower extraction range than the first extraction condition.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 6, wherein

the first extraction condition is pertinent to a time period, and

the second extraction condition is for extracting the image data of a time period that comes before or after the time period of the first extraction condition.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 6, wherein

the second extraction condition is for extracting image data including a particular person.

10. A method for reproducing images performed by a computer connected to a reproducing unit that reproduces image data, the method comprising:

extracting first-condition-satisfying-image data that satisfies a first extraction condition from image data stored in a storage unit;

extracting a keyword that matches a voice input to a voice input unit; and

determining, while the first-condition-satisfying-image data is being reproduced by the reproducing unit, a second extraction condition based on a relationship between the first extraction condition applied when extracting the first-condition-satisfying-image data being reproduced and the keyword that has been extracted, and presenting information pertinent to second-condition-satisfying-image data that satisfies the second extraction condition among the image data stored in the storage unit.
