Abstract

An information processing apparatus (1) includes a display control unit to output a video to a display device (13) on the basis of video data containing a plurality of picture frames; an operation unit (14) to accept a user'"'"'s operation, and a registering unit to extract date and time information from an operation target picture frame corresponding to the video that is output when accepting the operation and to register a schedule so as to output information contained in the video at a date and time of the extracted date and time information.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

a display control unit to output a video to a display device on the basis of video data containing a plurality of picture frames;

an operation unit to accept a user'"'"'s operation; and

a registering unit to extract date and time information from an operation target picture frame corresponding to the video that is output when accepting the operation and to register a schedule so as to output information contained in the video at a date and time of the extracted date and time information,

wherein the video data contains a partial moving picture including an image of the operation target picture frame, and

the registering unit registers the schedule so as to reproduce the partial moving picture including the image of the operation target picture frame at the date and time of the extracted date and time information.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a recording unit to record the information,

wherein the registering unit further includes a recording reservation unit to, when the information contained in the video is a notice of a broadcasting program to be broadcasted at the date and time from the present time afterward, reserve a record of the broadcasting program in the recording unit by specifying the date and time information extracted from the operation target picture frame.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a displaying unit to display a list of plural pieces of date and time information when the plural pieces of extracted date and time information exist; and

an accepting unit to accept the date and time information that is registered in the schedule from the displayed date and time information.

4. An information processing method, comprising:

outputting a video to a display device on the basis of video data containing a plurality of picture frames;

accepting a user'"'"'s operation; and

extracting date and time information from an operation target picture frame corresponding to the video that is output when accepting the operation; and

registering a schedule so as to output information contained in the video at a date and time of the extracted date and time information; and

registering the schedule so as to reproduce the partial moving picture including the image of the operation target picture frame at the date and time of the extracted date and time information,

wherein the video data contains a partial moving picture including an image of the operation target picture frame.

5. The information processing method according to claim 4, wherein the computer includes a recording unit to record the information, the information processing method further comprising:

reserving, when the information contained in the video is a notice of a broadcasting program to be broadcasted at the date and time from the present time afterward, a record of the broadcasting program in the recording unit by specifying the date and time of the date and time information extracted from the operation target picture frame.

6. The information processing method according to claim 4, further comprising:

displaying a list of plural pieces of date and time information when the plural pieces of extracted date and time information exist; and

accepting the date and time information that is registered in the schedule from the displayed date and time information.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

outputting a video to a display device on the basis of video data containing a plurality of picture frames;

accepting a user'"'"'s operation; and

extracting date and time information from an operation target picture frame corresponding to the video that is output when accepting the operation and registering a schedule so as to output information contained in the video at a date and time of the extracted date and time information; and

registering the schedule so as to reproduce the partial moving picture including the image of the operation target picture frame at the date and time of the extracted date and time information,

wherein the video data contains a partial moving picture including an image of the operation target picture frame.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 7, wherein the computer includes a recording unit to record the information, and the process further comprises:

reserving, when the information contained in the video is a notice of a broadcasting program to be broadcasted at the date and time from the present time afterward, a record of the broadcasting program in the recording unit by specifying the date and time of the date and time information extracted from the operation target picture frame.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 7, wherein the process further comprises:

displaying a list of plural pieces of date and time information when the plural pieces of extracted date and time information exist; and

accepting the date and time information that is registered in the schedule from the displayed date and time information.
