Effective use of a user emotion for each scene of moving image content is enabled. On the basis of a user emotion and video quality for each scene of moving image content A, correlation data obtained by associating the user emotion with the video quality is generated. The user emotion for each scene of moving image content B is predicted on the basis of the video quality for each scene of the moving image content B and the correlation data obtained by associating the user emotion with the video quality related to the moving image content A. For example, the predicted user emotion for each scene of the moving image content B is displayed and used.

Disclosed is a method and system for synchronously reproducing multi-media multi-information. The method is a method of combining a plurality of relevant files or a plurality of information streams that have an associated information relationship using a multi-information modulation unit, and then synchronously reproducing the relevant files or the information streams using a dedicated player capable of synchronously reproducing and playing back the multi-information. The step of synchronously recording the multi-information in the method is to insert non-audio/video information into an audio/video steam before compression or after compression or a file thereof using the multi-information modulation unit, that is, to embed some additional information blocks carrying the non-audio/video information into necessary video frames or audio frames and/or create or insert some additional information frames carrying the non-audio/video information between the necessary video frames and audio frames.

An electronic apparatus includes: an input unit that inputs data for imaging conditions for each of a plurality of imaging regions included in an image capturing unit, different imaging conditions being set for each of the imaging regions; and a recording control unit that correlates the data for imaging conditions inputted from the input unit with the imaging regions and records correlated data in a recording unit.

An image pickup apparatus that enables automatic generation of a time-lapse moving image for each photographing condition of an automatic bracket photographing function set in combination with a time-lapse photographing function. The image pickup apparatus acquires a plurality of photographed images by repeatedly performing photographing according to a plurality of photographing conditions set in advance, at time interval set in advance, and generates a plurality of time-lapse moving images by composing the plurality of acquired photographed images for each of the plurality of photographing conditions.

A system or method for displaying a video segment recorded by a camera device on a display device disposed remotely from the camera device. Video segments may be transmitted over a network to a remote viewing location. Video segments sent from a plurality of camera devices may be compiled by a server and displayed on a single display device. Video segments may auto-scroll such that a user need not interact with this display device to begin playback of a video segment. The technology may be used for such purposes as an athlete reviewing videos captured by one or more coaches or spectators.

A method for controlling multimedia playing, an apparatus thereof and a storage medium are provided according to the present disclosure, which relates to the field of terminal technology. The method includes: dividing subtitle information of a multimedia file into multiple subtitle segments, where each of the multiple subtitle segments corresponds to a time tag; triggering to play a selected subtitle segment of the subtitle information; obtaining a playing start time of the selected subtitle segment according to a time tag corresponding to the selected subtitle segment; and playing the multimedia file from the playing start time.

There is provided a monitoring camera system including at least one monitoring camera and a recorder connected to the monitoring camera. The monitoring camera captures an image of an area of a monitoring target, detects a motion in a captured video of the area, associates information relating to the motion with the captured video, and transmits the associated result to the recorder. The recorder associates the captured video of the area captured by the monitoring camera and the information relating to the motion with the monitoring camera, and records the associated result. The recorder reproduces the captured video of the area on a monitor recorded in the way that a reproduction speed of the captured video in a section in which the motion is not detected on the monitor is faster than a reproduction speed of the captured video in a section in which the motion is detected, based on the information relating to the motion.

There is provided a monitoring camera system including at least one monitoring camera and a recorder connected to the monitoring camera. The monitoring camera captures an image of an area of a monitoring target, detects a motion in a captured video of the area, associates information relating to the motion with the captured video, and transmits the associated result to the recorder. The recorder associates the captured video of the area captured by the monitoring camera and the information relating to the motion with the monitoring camera, and records the associated result. The recorder reproduces the captured video of the area on a monitor recorded in the way that a reproduction speed of the captured video in a section in which the motion is not detected on the monitor is faster than a reproduction speed of the captured video in a section in which the motion is detected, based on the information relating to the motion.

The invention relates to a method for providing a combined digital image stream, comprising providing a first digital image stream or sequence, incorporating a machine-readable mark to at least part of the first digital image stream or sequence, the mark at least comprising a position within or with respect to the first image stream or sequence and/or an interval within the length of the first image stream or sequence providing at least a second digital image stream, inserting, based on the mark, with the aid of a computer, the second image stream or sequence into the first digital image stream or sequence at the position and/or interval within the first image stream or sequence, and outputting a combined digital image stream, wherein the second image stream is incorporated in the first image stream or sequence. The invention further relates to a system for performing the method.

An apparatus comprises a processing unit configured to: obtain image data and metadata of digital image frames captured by a capturing device, the metadata comprising initial time of capture determined in accordance with an internal clock of the capturing device, the at least one digital image frame comprising a reference digital image frame captured of a scene comprising a machine-readable time marking indicating reference time; recognize a reference instant of time on the basis of the image data of the reference digital image frame; determine a time offset between the reference instant of time and the initial time of capture of the reference digital image frame; and adjust the metadata of a digital image frame so as to include corrected time of capture.
