An objective of the present invention is to provide a production system that can easily reference a video pertaining to a specific action or operation of a device. A production system (10) is provided with a log generation unit (51a), a video generation unit (51b), a recording unit (51c), and a control unit (51d). The log generation unit (51a) generates log information pertaining to an action of a device (20) implementing a process and/or log information pertaining to an operation of a worker operating the device (20). The video generation unit (51b) generates video data of an action of the device (20) and/or video data of an operation by the worker. The recording unit (51c) records the log information generated by the log generation unit (51a), in association with the video data generated by the video generation unit (51b). The control unit (51d) controls the recording unit (51c), and causes the recording unit (51c) to record the video data of a time zone in which the log information is used as a reference point, in association with the log information.

A moving image distribution method and a moving image distribution apparatus for reducing an increase in server load due to a change in a user's line of sight includes storing a video stream for each viewpoint of a plurality of viewpoints defined on a sphere with a camera as a point of observation, the video stream covering the sphere, and distributing the video stream to a user terminal. The distributing including distributing the video stream for the viewpoint other than a nearest viewpoint, corresponding to a line of sight determined by the user terminal, on the sphere.

In a system for broadcasting video programs to a user including a display, a system and method for providing program information or a copy of at least a portion of a program to the user. In one embodiment, a controller receives an input signal representing a request for summary information concerning a program, the program having a beginning and the input signal generated at a time during the broadcast. The controller provides via the display a summary of the program from the program beginning to the input signal time in response to the input signal. A controller may alternatively monitor a period of time during which the display is tuned to a broadcast of a program, the period starting during the broadcast. The controller is used to provide via the display a copy of at least a portion of the program when the period exceeds a predetermined threshold time.

A method for managing privacy of videos and photos recorded through a communication application by displaying a secret recording button on touch screens of a user's and contact's mobile devices, recording a video or a photo by the user's mobile device, applying on the recorded video or photo a re-watch mode by using the secret recording button, displaying in the message box of the user and the contact the recorded video or photo. The re-watch mode causes the mobile device to transmit the recorded video or photo to be saved in the server, displaying on the touch screens of the mobile devices a re-watch button, sending to the server a re-watch command by using the re-watch button in both mobile devices, receiving from the server the recorded video or photo to the mobile devices, and posting it in the message box of the user and the contact.
