Abstract: A book producing system for producing a book, which includes a text part and an illustration part. The book producing system includes a video-receiving module, a decoding module, a text-extracting module, an illustration-extracting module and a book-producing module. In this invention, the video-receiving module receives video source data; the decoding module decodes the video source data into video data; the text-extracting module extracts the text part from the video data according to a production guide; the illustration-extracting module extracts at least one key frame, serving as the illustration part, from the video data according to the production guide; the book-producing module typesets the extracted text part and illustration part to produce the book. The invention also discloses a book producing method for implementing the above-mentioned book producing system.

Abstract: A system for generating a character thumbnail sequence includes a video-receiving module, a decoding module, a video-extracting module and a character-thumbnail-sequence-generating module. The video-receiving module receives video source data. The decoding module decodes video source data into video data. The video-extracting module extracts at least one key frame from the video data according to a character-image extraction guide. The character-thumbnail-sequence-generating module generates a thumbnail sequence according to the extracted key frame. The invention also discloses a method for implementing the above-mentioned method for generating the character thumbnail sequence.
