Device and method for edition of moving picture data
First Claim
1. A multisystem network comprising:
- a command input unit that accepts operation commands entered by the user;
a storage unit that stores moving picture data;
a decoding means for decoding the moving picture data read from the storage unit into display image data;
a thumbnail generating means for generating a thumbnail of a portion, appearing at every predetermined time, of an image formed from the moving picture data;
a display image generation/output unit that (a) outputs the display image data from the decoding means to a display unit, and reproduces the image on the display unit in a reproduction mode, and (b) when an edit operation is input via the command input unit, generates and outputs image data so that on the screen of the display unit (1) the reproduced image is display, (2) a thumbnail of the reproduced image is displayed superimposed on the reproduced image and (3) a plurality of thumbnails preceding and/or proceeding frames within a predetermined time interval of the reproduced image are displayed superimposed on the reproduced image; and
a means for adding during the edit mode, to the moving picture data, information on edit points indicating image data positions corresponding to ones, designated by the command input unit, of the plurality of thumbnails displayed on the screen of the display unit, and for storing the image data positions into the storage unit, wherein the edit points are for editing of the moving picture data.

Abstract
When a predetermined operation is made of a remote commander while moving picture data read from a storage unit and decoded is being displayed on a display screen, a thumbnail of a reproduced image being displayed on the display screen and a plurality of thumbnails near the reproduced image displayed on the display screen are displayed being superposed on the reproduced image. Information on edit points indicating the position of image data corresponding to ones, designated by the remote commander, of the plurality of thumbnails displayed on the display screen is added to the moving picture data, and the data is stored into the storage unit. Thus, it is possible to set IN and OUT points as edit points elaborately and easily for edition of moving picture data.

12. A moving picture data editing method, comprising:
-
a reproduction step in which moving picture data read from a storage unit is decoded and displayed on a display screen as a reproduced image; a thumbnail superposed-displaying step in which when an edit operation is input by a command input unit during the reproduction step, on the display screen (1) the reproduced image is displayed, (2) a thumbnail of the reproduced image is displayed superimposed on the reproduced image and (3) a plurality of thumbnails preceding and/or proceeding within a predetermined time interval of the reproduced image are displayed superimposed on the reproduced image; and a step in which information on edit points indicating image data positions corresponding to ones, designated by the command input unit, of the plurality of thumbnails displayed on the screen of the display unit in the thumbnail superposed displaying step is added to the moving picture data and the image data positions into the storage unit during the edit mode, wherein the edit points are for editing of the moving picture data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A multisystem network comprising:
-
a command input unit that accepts operation commands entered by the user; a storage unit that stores moving picture data; a decoder for decoding the moving picture data read from the storage unit into display image data; a thumbnail generator for generating a thumbnail of a portion, appearing at every predetermined time, of an image formed from the moving picture data; a display image generation/output unit that (a) outputs the display image data from the decoder to a display unit, and reproduces the image on the display unit in a reproduction mode, and (b) when an edit operation is input, generates and outputs image data so that on the display unit (1) a reproduced image is displayed, (2) a thumbnail of the reproduced image is displayed superimposed on the reproduced image displayed on the display unit and (3) a plurality of thumbnails preceding and/or proceeding frames within a predetermined time interval of the reproduced image are displayed superimposed on the reproduced image displayed on the display unit; and a unit for adding during the edit mode, to the moving picture data, information on edit points indicating image data positions corresponding to ones, designated by the command input unit, of the plurality of thumbnails displayed on the screen of the display unit, and storing the image data positions into the storage unit, wherein the edit points are for editing of the moving picture data.

24. A multisystem network comprising:
-
a command input unit that accepts operation commands entered by a user; a storage unit that stores moving picture data; a decoding means for decoding the moving picture data read from the storage unit into display image data; a thumbnail generating means for generating a thumbnail of a portion, appearing at every predetermined time, of an image formed from the moving picture data; a display image generation/output unit that (a) in a reproduction mode, outputs the display image data from the decoding means to a display unit, and reproduces the image on the display unit, and (b) in an edit mode for selecting a portion of the moving picture data which is not to be reproduced, generates an edit-point interface screen displayed on the display unit, the interface screen prompting the user to set one of a start edit point to stop reproduction and an end edit point to re-start reproduction, wherein the interface screen displaying a message to the user indicating which edit point is to be set next. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
