  Exemplary embodiments of a content reproduction method, a content reproduction apparatus, and a content reproduction program according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, this invention is not limited by this embodiment.

[First embodiment]
In the following embodiments, the outline of the first embodiment, the configuration of the content reproduction device according to the first embodiment, and the flow of processing by each device will be described in order, and finally the effects of the first embodiment will be described. .

[Overview]
First, an outline of content reproduction processing executed in the system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an outline of vital information detection processing executed in the system according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an outline of content reproduction processing executed in the system according to the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the system according to the first embodiment includes a content reproduction device 10 and a vital sensor 20 that detects vital information (biological information) of a viewer. The content playback apparatus 10 is an information terminal having a wireless communication function. For example, the content playback apparatus 10 is a DVD (Digital Video Disc) player, a BD (Blu-ray (registered trademark) Disc) player, a mobile phone, a smartphone. And tablet terminals.

  The vital information detected by the vital sensor 20 is, for example, the viewer's respiratory rate, pulse rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and the like. The number of content playback devices 10 and vital sensors 20 that constitute the system is not limited to the number shown in FIG. In the following, an example of system processing will be described. In the following, an example is described in which a viewer purchases a BD of the same video work as that of the movie after viewing the video work in a movie theater, and reproduces the purchased BD based on vital information. To do.

  First, the vital sensor 20 records vital information such as a respiratory rate and a pulse of a viewer who watches a video work in a movie theater. Then, the content reproduction apparatus 10 receives vital information from the vital sensor 20, detects a viewer's excitement and a sudden change in the viewer's sudden feeling from the vital information, and rapidly changes the time information at the time of detection. Store in location list.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the video work viewed by the viewer is sold on the BD as personal content, and the viewer purchases it. When the viewer gives an instruction to start playback of the BD, the content playback apparatus 10 performs skip playback so that only the time portion of the list item can be viewed based on the sudden change location list. For example, an image in which the moving parts are connected is reproduced so that only the part that the viewer is impressed can view. Also, the normal playback is switched according to the user's instruction.

  In this way, for example, the content playback apparatus 10 skips only the portion that the viewer is impressed and plays back the content that the viewer has watched in the past, or performs normal playback from the skip. Thus, it is possible to entertain the content as desired by the viewer.

[Configuration of content playback device]
Next, the configuration of the content reproduction apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the content reproduction apparatus according to the first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the content reproduction apparatus 10 includes a communication processing unit 11, a control unit 12, and a storage unit 13.

  The communication processing unit 11 controls communication related to various information exchanged with the vital sensor 20. For example, the communication processing unit 11 receives vital information from the vital sensor 20. The vital information is information indicating at least one of the viewer's respiratory rate, pulse rate, blood pressure, and body temperature.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the storage unit 13 includes a vital information storage unit 13a, a vital list storage unit 13b, and a content storage unit 13c. The storage unit 13 is, for example, a semiconductor memory device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk.

  The vital information storage unit 13 a stores vital information received from the vital sensor 20. Here, an example of information stored in the vital information storage unit 13a according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the following example, a case where a viewer's pulse is stored as vital information will be described as an example.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the vital information storage unit according to the first embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the vital information storage unit 13 a has a “vital ID” that uniquely identifies vital information, a “vital information” that indicates a pulse value, and a time when the vital information is recorded “ “Recording time” is stored in association with each other.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the vital information storage unit 13 a has a vital ID “Vital 1”, vital information “100”, and a recording time “2013/9/2 19: 00 ”is stored in association with each other. This is because for the data with the vital ID “Vital 1”, the pulse value of the viewer for one minute is “100”, and the time when the vital information is recorded by the vital sensor 20 is “2013/9/2 19 : 00 ”.

  The vital list storage unit 13b is the vital information stored in the vital information storage unit 13a whose vital information value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, or whose vital information value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. Is stored as a vital time list. Here, an example of information stored in the vital list storage unit 13b will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the vital list storage unit. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the vital list storage unit 13 b stores “vital ID” and “recording time” in association with each other. Here, a specific example will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 4, for example, the vital list storage unit 13 b receives a vital ID “Vital 2” and a recording time “2013/9/2 19:01”. Store in association with each other. The information stored in the vital list storage unit 13b is a list in which a list of vital information detected by a change detection unit 12b described later is recorded.

  The content storage unit 13c temporarily stores BD content data. Further, the content storage unit 13c stores content data reproduced by the reproduction unit 12c described later. For example, the content data stored by the content storage unit 13c is content data stored in the BD of the same movie that the viewer has previously watched at the movie theater. The content storage unit 13c temporarily stores content data stored in a BD or the like placed in the content reproduction apparatus 10 by the viewer.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the control unit 12 includes a receiving unit 12a, a change detecting unit 12b, and a reproducing unit 12c. Here, the control unit 12 is an electronic circuit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or an integrated circuit such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

  The receiving unit 12a receives from the vital sensor 20 a series of vital information of viewers who are viewing content at the venue. For example, the receiving unit 12a transmits a user ID to the vital sensor 20, receives vital information recorded by the vital sensor 20 every second as vital information corresponding to the user ID, and stores it in the vital information storage unit 13a. To do. The time when the vital sensor starts recording is stored as the content start time.

  The change detection unit 12b detects the time when the value of the vital information received by the receiving unit 12a is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, or the time when the change in the value of vital information is equal to or greater than the predetermined value. Specifically, the change detection unit 12b determines whether the value of each vital information is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, and stores the vital information that is greater than or equal to the predetermined value in the vital list storage unit 13b. For example, the change detection unit 12b determines whether the pulse value is “101” or more per minute as vital list information, and the vital information “vital ID” and “recording time” that are “101” or more are included in the vital list. Store in the storage unit 13b.

  In addition, the change detection unit 12b compares the preceding and following vital information, determines whether there is a change greater than a predetermined value, and if there is a change greater than the predetermined value, detects the previous vital information. And stored in the vital list storage unit 13b. For example, the change detection unit 12b determines whether the pulse value is “3” or more as the two preceding and following vital list information. If the value is “3” or more, the time is “Vital ID” of the previous vital information. And “recording time” are stored in the vital list storage unit 13b.

  In addition, when there is a change of a predetermined value or more, the present invention is not limited to the detection of the previous vital information. For example, the vital information having the larger value of the two vital information is stored in the vital list storage unit 13b. May be. Explaining with an example, the change detection unit 12b determines whether the pulse value is “3” or more as the two preceding and following vital list information, and if it is “3” or more, the pulse value is large. “Vital ID” and “recording time” of the vital information are stored in the vital list storage unit 13b.

  The change detection unit 12b performs either a process for detecting the time when the value of the vital information becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value or a process for detecting the time when the change in the value of the vital information becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined value. Alternatively, a process of detecting a time when the value of the vital information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value and the change in the value of the vital information is equal to or greater than the predetermined value may be performed. Such conditions for detection can be appropriately changed by the viewer. In the following description, a process for detecting a time when a change in the value of the vital information becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value will be described as an example.

  Here, a process for detecting a change in vital information will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating processing for detecting a change in vital information according to the first embodiment. First, the change detection unit 12b of the video reproduction device 10 reads out two pieces of vital information in chronological order from all pieces of vital information, and determines whether there is still subsequent information. Here, when the change detection unit 12b determines that there is later information, the read two pieces of vital information are compared to determine whether the change in information is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. Here, when the change detection unit 12b determines that the change in the information is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the time (recording time) of the previous vital information among the two read vital information is listed. The change detection unit 12b repeats the above processing, so that, for example, a vital rapid change list of vital information (vitals 2, 5,..., X) whose change is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold is created.

  When the playback unit 12c starts playback of content of the same type as the content, the playback unit 12c sequentially plays back video in a predetermined time range from a location corresponding to the time detected by the change detection unit 12b. First, for example, the playback unit 12c searches for a vital rapid change list corresponding to the content corresponding to the content, refers to the vital rapid change list, and specifies the location of the content corresponding to each time in the vital rapid change list.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 7, a process of marking a corresponding part of content will be described as a process of specifying the location of the content. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the process of marking the corresponding part of the content. As shown in FIG. 7, for example, the playback unit 12c reads the original content start time from the vital rapid change (time) list and marks the start point of the commercially available content as the reference time.

  Subsequently, the playback unit 12c reads out the vital rapid change time list and determines whether there are still items. If the playback unit 12c determines that there are still items, the playback unit 12c reads one item in the list and marks the corresponding portion of the commercially available content based on the content start time. The above processing is repeated until there are no more items in the vital rapid change time list.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 7, when recording times of vital 2, vital 5... Vital X are included in the vital rapid change time list, the corresponding portions of the commercially available content are marked respectively.

  Thereafter, the playback unit 12c plays back and forth partial videos for a specified time for each specified location. In addition, when the playback unit 12c performs a process of playing back a partial video for a specified time, and receives an instruction to perform normal playback from the viewer, the playback unit 12c normally plays back the content.

  For example, as the designated time set in advance by the playback unit 12c, for example, a fly-back playback process for playing back for 5 minutes is executed. Here, the skip reproduction reproduction process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a skip-and-play reproduction execution process. As shown in FIG. 8, the playback unit 12c reads the moving image mark and determines whether or not there is still a mark. As a result, when it is determined that there is still a mark, the playback unit 12c reads one item of the mark, and executes a skip playback process for playing back the partial video before and after the mark for a specified time.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the playback unit 12 c plays back the partial video corresponding to the vital 2 time, the vital 5 time,. In addition, when the normal playback instruction is accepted by the user's operation or the like during the skipping playback, the playback unit 12c sets the partial video specified time infinite and plays back the video as usual. Further, when a skip playback instruction is received after that, the specified time of the partial video is returned to the default and played back.

  Here, the overall flow of the content reproduction process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the overall flow of content creation processing in the system according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, when receiving a vital information recording start instruction from the viewer, the vital sensor 20 starts a process of recording the vital information of the viewer, and records the vital information by the vital information recording function. Then, the recorded vital information is transferred to the content reproduction apparatus 10.

  Subsequently, the content reproduction device 10 compares the two pieces of vital information that precede and follow, identifies data having a sudden change, and lists it as a vital time list. Then, the content reproduction apparatus 10 searches for a vital rapid change list corresponding to the content, and if there is a vital rapid change list, skips and reproduces it. When there is no vital rapid change list, normal playback is performed.

Subsequently, the content reproduction apparatus 10 refers to the viewer's vital rapid change time list,
Identify the location of the content corresponding to each time. Then, the content playback apparatus 10 plays back and forth partial videos for a specified time for each specified location.

  After that, when receiving the content normal reproduction instruction, the content reproduction apparatus 10 performs normal reproduction from the location where the instruction is received. In addition, when a skip-and-play reproduction instruction is received, a partial video is reproduced from the place where the instruction is received.

  Thus, for example, the content playback apparatus 10 skips only the part that the viewer has been impressed and plays back the content that the viewer has watched in the past, or normally plays back the content by skipping it. It is possible to entertain the content as desired by the user.

[Processing by vital sensors]
Next, the flow of the vital information recording process in the vital sensor 20 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the vital information recording process in the vital sensor according to the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the vital sensor 20 receives a vital information recording start instruction from the viewer (Yes in step S101), the vital sensor 20 starts recording vital information (step S102). The vital sensor 20 determines whether or not one minute has passed (step S103), and if one minute has passed (Yes in step S103), records vital information (step S104).

  Then, the vital sensor 20 determines whether a vital information recording end instruction has been received (step S105). As a result, if the vital sensor 20 has not received a vital information recording end instruction (No at Step S105), the process returns to Step S103 and repeats the above process. On the other hand, the vital sensor 20 complete | finishes a process, when the vital information recording completion instruction | indication is received (step S105 affirmation).

[Overall processing by the system]
Next, an overall processing flow in the system according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.

As shown in FIG. 11, upon receiving a data transfer instruction from the viewer (step S201), the content reproduction apparatus 10 requests vital information from the vital sensor 20 (step S202). Then, the vital sensor 20 transmits vital information to the content reproduction apparatus 10 (step S203). Then, when receiving the vital information, the content reproduction apparatus 10 notifies the viewer that the data transfer has been completed (step S204). For example, the content reproduction apparatus 10 notifies the viewer that the data transfer is completed by displaying a message that the data transfer of the vital information is completed.

  Then, upon receiving an instruction from the viewer to make the vital information into a vital time list (step S205), the content reproduction device 10 compares the two pieces of vital information before and after and identifies data having a rapid change, These are listed (step S206). For example, if the content reproduction apparatus 10 determines that there is later information, the content reproduction apparatus 10 compares the two pieces of read vital information and determines whether the change in the vital information is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. As a result, when it is determined that the change in the vital information is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, the content reproduction apparatus 10 places the time (recording time) of the previous vital information out of the two read vital information in the list. Thereafter, the content reproduction apparatus 10 notifies the viewer that the vital time list has been completed (step S207). For example, the content reproduction device 10 notifies the viewer by displaying a message that the vital time listing is completed.

  Next, the flow of content reproduction processing will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 12, upon receiving a content playback instruction from the viewer (step S301), the content playback apparatus 10 searches for a vital rapid change list corresponding to the content, and if there is a vital rapid change list, skips playback. If there is no vital rapid change list, normal reproduction is performed (step S302).

Subsequently, the content reproduction apparatus 10 refers to the viewer's vital rapid change time list,
The location of the content corresponding to each time is specified (step S303). Then, the content playback apparatus 10 plays back and forth partial videos for a specified time for each specified location (step S304).

  Thereafter, when receiving the content normal reproduction instruction, the content reproduction apparatus 10 performs normal reproduction from the location where the instruction is received (step S305). In addition, when a skip-and-play reproduction instruction is received, a partial video is reproduced from the location where the instruction is received (step S306).

  Thus, for example, the content playback apparatus 10 skips only the part that the viewer has been impressed and plays back the content that the viewer has watched in the past, or normally plays back the content by skipping it. It is possible to entertain the content as desired by the user.

[Effect of the first embodiment]

Or the time when the change in the value of the vital information becomes a predetermined value or more is detected. Then, when the content reproduction apparatus 10 starts reproduction of content of the same type as the content, the content reproduction device 10 sequentially reproduces video in a predetermined time zone from a location corresponding to the detected time. Thereby, it is possible to provide the content according to the viewer who views the content. For example, it is possible to entertain the content according to the viewer's preference by skipping only the portion that the viewer has been impressed and reproducing the content that the viewer has viewed in the past.

  In addition, when the content playback apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment receives the instruction to perform normal playback from the viewer while performing the process of sequentially playing back video in a predetermined range of time, To play normally. For this reason, it is possible to entertain the content according to the viewer's preference by playing it back and forth or playing back normally.
