Publication number: 20170094362Abstract: The invention relates to an auto zapping function corresponding to user' taste. A block receives a particular channel and disassembles the received channel into intervals (chapters) of predetermined length. The block calculates scores of chapters, based on a result of comparison of EPG information of a program from an EPG acquiring part, symbol information from a symbol information managing part, viewing history from a viewing history managing part, and news information from WWW news site and the like in an RSS acquiring part, etc. with meta information obtained from the chapters, viewer responsiveness obtained from the chapters, etc., and provides a result of calculation and starting time and ending time of the chapters to a chapter selecting part. The chapter selecting part selects chapters to be most highly recommended to a user, based on scores, which are provided from the block, for chapters of a program being broadcasted in each channel. The selected chapters are sequentially reproduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2016Publication date: March 30, 2017Applicant: SONY CORPORATIONInventor: Daisuke NEGI

Patent number: 8285051Abstract: An information processing apparatus detects, from time-sequential information continuously supplied for a given period of time, associated information regarding a time at which a piece of information satisfying a predetermined condition is supplied within the given period of time. A dividing section divides the time-sequential information into a plurality of temporally successive information units at predetermined time intervals. A feature value detecting section temporally successively detects feature values of the plurality of temporally successive information units. A change-information detecting section stores the temporally successively detected feature values for a predetermined period of time, and detects a plurality of temporally successive pieces of feature-value-change information on the basis of the stored feature values and a currently detected feature value.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2008Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Tsutomu Seki, Sho Murakoshi, Daisuke Negi
