Patent number: 9298820Abstract: A terminal device includes circuitry configured to acquire designated image data stored in a memory. The circuitry may sort the designated image data based on a time at which the designated image data was captured. The circuitry may divide the sorted image data into a plurality of time slots and calculate, based on features of the designated image data corresponding to each time slot of the plurality of time slots, a time slot score for each of the plurality of time slots. The circuitry may allocate, based on the time slot score, a portion of a digest video to each of the plurality of time slots. The circuitry may generate, for each time slot, a local digest video by assigning an amount of the designated image data to the local digest video corresponding to the time slot, and generate the digest video by connecting the generated local digest videos.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Junichi Kosaka, Tatsuya Hama, Kenichi Yoneda, Takamoto Tsuda, Yukiko Akiyama
