  • Patent number: 9986218
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus includes a creation unit to combine first section data in moving image data with other content data to create a composite moving image content, a reproduction unit to reproduce the moving image data, an operation reception unit to receive a predetermined operation input by a user during reproduction of the moving image data, and a control unit to extract second section data including a reproduction position of the moving image data at a time when the predetermined operation input is received and control the creation unit so that the creation unit changes the first section data in the composite moving image content into the second section data, the second section data being different from the first section data.

  • Patent number: 8300972
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes: an extraction section extracting a subject area having a predetermined feature in an image; a first calculation section calculating a first blur degree indicating a blur degree of the extracted subject area; a second calculation section calculating, when the number of subject areas from which the first blur degree is calculated is one, a second blur degree indicating a blur degree of the entire image based on the first blur degree, and calculating, when the number of subject areas from which the first blur degree is calculated is plural, the second blur degree based on a value obtained by performing weighted averaging on the plural first blur degrees in accordance with dimensions of the plural subject areas; and a sorting section sorting an image having the calculated second blur degree equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value, as a blur image, from plural images.

  • Publication number: 20120271911
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a control unit that retrieves control information for reproducing a plurality of content data. The control information includes order information indicating an order of reproduction of the plurality of content data. The control information also includes location information indicative of a location of the plurality of content data. In addition, the control unit controls a communication unit to send a signal to transfer content data to an address associated with a remote device. Further, the control unit changes the location information in the control information to another location information indicating a location of the plurality of content data sent to the remote device. The control unit additionally controls the communication unit to send the changed control information.
