Content processing apparatus and content processing method for digest information based on input of content user
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus comprising:
- a receiver for receiving plural sets of operation data obtained by a plurality of users for dynamic data played back by playback apparatuses;
a storage device for storing the plural sets of operation data received by said receiver;
a generator for generating digest information of the dynamic data according to the plural sets of operation data stored in said storage device; and
a transmitter for transmitting the digest information generated by said generator to at least one playback apparatus,wherein said receiver receives playback-portion identification information indicating a playback portion of the dynamic data played back by the playback apparatus,wherein said generator comprises a statistical processor for accumulating playback times of the playback portion based on the playback-portion identification information received by said receiver, and generates the digest information based on an accumulation result obtained by said statistical processor, andwherein the generated digest information is stored in classified databases corresponding to titles, personal information, and playback-time zones.

Abstract
Value-added information is created based on favorite information of a content user. The content is processed according to the generated value-added information. Favorite data indicating operations, such as fast-forward, pause, and rewind operations, performed while the content is being played back, and personal user information, such as the age group, the gender, and the life-style, of the content user are transferred to a server via a network. The server performs statistical processing on the user favorite data to generate value-added information according to the attributes of the user, such as the age group, the gender, and the life-style. Accordingly, the user is able to search for popular titles, play back only popular scenes, and skip uninteresting scenes by using a content playback apparatus.

19. A communication apparatus comprising:
-
a receiver for receiving dynamic data from an external source; a reproducer for playing back the dynamic data received by said receiver; an input for inputting as input data user favorite data for the dynamic data played back by said reproducer; a generator for generating digest information based on the input data input by said input; and a transmitter for transmitting the digest information generated by said digest-information generating means to a portable terminal, wherein said input outputs as the input data playback-portion identification information indicating a playback portion of the dynamic data played back by said reproducer, wherein said generator comprises a statistical processor for accumulating playback times of the playback portion based on the playback-portion identification information, and generates the digest information based on an accumulation result obtained by said statistical processor, and wherein the generated digest information is stored in classified databases corresponding to titles, personal information, and playback-time zones. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

38. A communication method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving plural sets of operation data obtained by a plurality of users for dynamic data played back by playback apparatuses and playback-portion identification information indicating a playback portion of the dynamic data played back by the playback apparatus; accumulating playback times of the playback portion based on the playback-portion identification information received by said receiving step, generating digest information of the dynamic data according to the plural sets of received operation data; storing the generated digest information in classified databases corresponding to titles, personal information, and playback-time zones; and transmitting the generated digest information to at least one playback apparatus, wherein said generating step generates the digest information based on an accumulation result obtained by said accumulating step.
