Abstract

A moving image reproduction device includes a display unit, an input unit, and a control unit. The control unit displays a moving image in the display unit by displaying frames included in moving image data while changing the frames from one to the next sequentially, sets item areas while changing from one to the next as the frames are changed from one to the next sequentially, when one of the item areas that is set in a corresponding one of the frames that is being displayed is selected using the input unit, displays item information associated with the item area, and when an area other than the item areas is selected using the input unit, extracts time code information for the frame at selecting timing and a coordinate of selected area from the moving image data, and transmits extracted data including the time code information and the coordinate.

Claims

1. A moving image reproduction device comprising a display unit, an input unit, and a control unit, wherein

the control unit is configured to

display a moving image in the display unit by displaying frames included in moving image data in the display unit while changing the frames from one to the next sequentially,

set item areas while changing from one to the next as the frames are changed from one to the next sequentially, the item areas being set in advance to the frames,

when one of the item areas that is set in a corresponding one of the frames that is being displayed in the display unit is selected using the input unit, display item information associated with the item area in the display unit, and

when an area other than the item areas is selected using the input unit, to extract time code information for the frame at selecting timing and a coordinate of selected area from the moving image data, and transmit, to outside, extracted data including the time code information and the coordinate.

2. The moving image reproduction device according to claim 1, wherein

the extracted data includes an image in the selected area and its vicinity.

3. The moving image reproduction device according to claim 2, wherein

the extracted data includes a still image in the selected area and its vicinity.

4. The moving image reproduction device according to claim 2, wherein

the extracted data includes a moving image in the selected area and its vicinity.

5. The moving image reproduction device according to claim 1, wherein

the extracted data is associated with attribute information of a viewer.

6. A moving image reproduction method for reproducing a moving image on the basis of moving image data and metadata associated with the moving image data, the moving image reproduction method comprising:

displaying the moving image in a display unit by displaying frames included in the moving image data in the display unit while changing the frames from one to the next sequentially;

setting item areas while changing from one to the next as the frames are changed from one to the next sequentially, the item areas being set in advance to the frames;

when one of the item areas that is set in a corresponding one of the frames that is being displayed in the display unit is selected using an input unit, displaying item information associated with the item area in the display unit; and

when an area other than the item areas is selected using the input unit, extracting time code information for the frame at selecting timing and a coordinate of selected area from the moving image data, and transmitting, to outside, extracted data including the time code information and the coordinate.

7. A moving image distribution system that distributes moving image data and metadata associated with the moving image data, the moving image distribution system comprising:

a server configured to distribute the moving image data for causing a display unit of a moving image reproduction device to display a moving image by displaying frames in the display unit while changing the frames from one to the next sequentially;

a server configured to distribute the metadata for setting item areas in advance to the frames, and setting the item areas while changing from one to the next as the frames are changed from one to the next sequentially; and

a server configured to distribute a program for, when one of the item areas that is set in a corresponding one of the frames that is being displayed in the display unit is selected using an input unit of the moving image reproduction device, displaying item information associated with the item area in the display unit,

wherein when an area other than the item areas is selected using the input unit, time code information for the frame at selecting timing and a coordinate of selected area are extracted from the moving image data, and extracted data including the time code information and the coordinate is transmitted to outside.

8. A storage medium with a moving image reproduction program stored therein, the moving image reproduction program causing a moving image reproduction device including a display unit and an input unit to execute:

displaying a moving image in the display unit by displaying frames included in moving image data in the display unit while changing the frames from one to the next sequentially;

setting item areas while changing from one to the next as the frames are changed from one to the next sequentially, the item areas being set in advance to the frames; and

when one of the item areas that is set in a corresponding one of the frames that is being displayed in the display unit is selected using the input unit, displaying item information associated with the item area in the display unit,

wherein the moving image reproduction program further causes the moving image reproduction device to, when an area other than the item areas is selected using the input unit, extract time code information for the frame at selecting timing and a coordinate of selected area from the moving image data, and transmit, to outside, extracted data including the time code information and the coordinate.
