Abstract: A contents management apparatus that manages contents including a plurality of contents elements representing information to be provided to a user includes a contents request acquiring unit that acquires contents request information from the user, a contents element extracting unit that extracts the contents elements based on the contents request information when the contents request acquiring unit acquires the contents request information from the user, and a contents restructuring unit that restructures new contents from the contents elements extracted.

Abstract: A program video and program-related information are input, and program-related contents are generated based on a tree structure defined in advance. Based on a preset viewing data quantity as a viewing request from each user who has a portable terminal, leaf nodes in the tree structure of the program-related contents are selected as presentation candidates for each user. A presentation route that follows the leaf nodes of the presentation candidates starting from the root of the tree structure is generated as a presentation scenario for each user. The generated presentation scenario is transmitted to the portable terminal of the corresponding user.

Abstract: A digest or summary is generated from an athletic footage containing a predetermined set of metadata. The metadata includes information on time, score and event types. Scenes are selected from the athletic footage based upon the metadata, and the scenes are significant in a flow of the game or the athletic competition. Some scenes are also selected based upon the assumption that a certain failed scoring attempt is succeeded. The above described selection scheme allows the extraction of scenes that are meaningful and significant in summarizing an athletic footage.

Abstract: A multimedia content generator automatically generates a commercial content (for example, a preview of a movie) from an original content (i.e. the movie). The multimedia content generator includes a use purpose setting unit, a use environment setting unit, and a content generator. The content editor generates the commercial content according to: use purpose of the commercial content set by the use purpose setting unit; and use environment (such as a terminal which reproduces the commercial content) set by the use environment setting unit.

Abstract: When a call is received at the TAD from telephone 1 via exchange A2 and exchange B3, the TAD transmits an outgoing message. In response to the aforementioned message, the caller transmits a message or telephone number data regarding his own telephone. After the TAD records the telephone number, it calls up portable telephone 6 by autodialing. When TAD and portable telephone 6 are in a connected condition via base station 5, and if TAD sends the telephone number data in a predetermined format, it will be displayed upon the display unit of portable telephone 6.
