1. An apparatus for automatically generating video highlights comprising:
- a scene change detecting means for detecting a scene change point of a stored digital video;
an interval information amount estimating means for estimating interval information amount for a predetermined interval on the basis of detected scene change points; and
a highlight generating means for generating moving picture highlights according to the estimated interval information amount and predetermined moving picture highlight length information;
wherein the highlight generating means generates more than one primary scene for highlights according to the estimated interval information amount, wherein in case of generating highlights using M primary scenes, the moving picture amount on the basis of each primary scene is a value that the highlight length is divided by M.

12. A method for automatically generating video highlights comprising:
-
dividing digital video into intervals of a scene unit by detecting scene change point of stored digital video; estimating information amount for each divided interval in order to determine importance of a scene; selecting a reference scene to be included in highlights according to an estimated interval information amount; and generating moving picture highlights by including video stream of a predetermined interval having a reference scene according to a selected reference scene; wherein the stop of generating moving picture highlights generates more than one primary scene for highlights according to the estimated information amount, wherein in case of generating highlights using M primary scenes, the moving picture amount on the basis of each primary scene is a value that the highlight length is divided by M. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
