Abstract: A scorebook creating apparatus includes a detecting unit that detects first information that indicates a starting point of a scene included in picture data; a temporary-tag creating unit that creates a temporary tag including time information of the first information when the detecting unit detects the first information; a tag-identification (ID) assigning unit that issues, when second information is input from an external unit, a tag ID for associating the temporary tag with the second information to assign the tag ID to the second information; and a scorebook processing unit that creates a scorebook by the second information. The temporary-tag creating unit makes a set of the last temporary tag before the tag ID is issued and the tag ID.

Abstract: A tagging apparatus includes an image pickup unit configured to shoot a subject and output moving image data, a data communication unit configured to successively receive vital data of a user who records or plays back the moving image data, and receive timing data of a tag input by the user, and a tag range processing unit configured to set a time range tm to tn in which the vital data received by the data communication unit is equal to or greater than a predetermined value as a tag range tm to tn when a time corresponding to the timing data is included in the time range tm to tn.

Abstract: A recording device includes an imaging unit that takes a video, a recording time conversion processor that converts a frame rate of specified video data in the video so as to adjust the video to fall within a specified recording time, and a tag range processor that sets a tag range where a tag can be assigned in accordance with a level of importance to the video data, and the recording time conversion processor converts a frame rate at a first thinning-out rate that thins out a frame in a first video data range where the tag range is not set in the video data, and converts a frame rate at a second thinning-out rate that thins out a frame in a second video data range where the tag range is set in the video data in accordance with the level of importance.

Abstract: A moving picture playback method including detecting a first location in a moving picture display area indicated by a user, detecting a frame at a time point at which the user indicated the first location, determining whether the first location is located in one of two divided areas of the moving picture display area or in the other thereof, generating a first number of thumbnails of frames temporally subsequent to the detected frame when the first location is located in the one of the two divided areas, and generating a second number of thumbnails of frames temporally previous to the detected frame when the first location is located in the other, displaying the generated thumbnails in the moving picture display area, detecting a thumbnail selected from among the displayed thumbnails by the user, and playing back a moving picture at a frame corresponding to the detected thumbnail and subsequent frames.

Abstract: A playback device includes a playback controller that sets a scene with a higher level of importance at a lower playback speed and sets a scene with a lower level of importance at a higher playback speed based on a level of importance of each scene of video data, and an image data processor that converts the video data into a playback speed set by the playback controller for each scene, wherein the playback controller plays back the video data within a preset playback time. Further, the playback method plays back video data within a preset playback time by playing back a scene with a higher level of importance at a lower playback speed and playing back a scene with a lower level of importance at a higher playback speed based on a level of importance of each scene.

Abstract: An electronic scorebook creation device determines a catching fielder candidate order in which multiple fielders are arranged on the basis of operation input to a displayed field image and the positions of the fielders on the field image, and displays a catching fielder selection button group in which the fielders are arranged according to the catching fielder candidate order. The electronic scorebook creation device also determines a batted ball type candidate order in which batted ball type candidates are arranged, and displays a batted ball type selection button group in which batted ball type candidates are arranged according to the batted ball type candidate order. The electronic scorebook creation device further determines a batting result candidate order in which batting result candidates are arranged, and displays a batting result selection button group in which batting result candidates are arranged according to the batting result candidate order.

Abstract: An imaging device includes: an imaging unit that images an event and generates imaged data of the event; a storage unit that stores the imaged data of the event as a plurality of moving image files; a marker input unit that inputs at least a start marker representing a start of the event and an end marker representing an end of the event; and a control unit that causes marker data including the input start marker and end marker to be stored in the storage unit as a plurality of marker data files in association with the plurality of moving image files.

Abstract: A squared character region for a letter is partitioned into three partitive regions arranged in a longitudinal direction to partition the letter. Thereafter, a right fit position of a portion of the letter placed at the most right side in a partitive region is determined for each of the partitive regions. Therefore, the right fit positions indicate right shape features of the letter. Thereafter, a right minimum fit position indicating the most right position among the right fit positions is determined, a right proportional position is regarded as a right kerning position in a partitive region relating to the right minimum fit position, and another right kerning position is set between the right minimum fit position and the right fit position for each of remaining partitive regions. Also, a left kerning position is determined in the same manner for each of the partitive regions.
