Abstract

A system includes: a server including first circuitry and a memory that stores, for each event, voice data recorded during the event, text data converted from the voice data, and time information indicating a time when the text data was generated; and a display control apparatus communicably connected with the server, including second circuitry to based on information on the event stored in the memory, control a display to display text data in an order according to the time when the text data was generated, and a graphical control region that sets playback position in a total playback time of the voice data, and in response to selection of particular text data from the text data being displayed, control the display to display the graphical control region at a location determined based on a time when the particular text data was generated.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A display control apparatus terminal, comprising:
circuitry configured to:
receive, from a management server that manages text data converted from audio data generated during an event, the text data and time information related to the text data;
control a display to display a first display area and a second display area, wherein the first display area includes the text data in an order according to the time information and the second display area includes a plurality of images corresponding to different times during a total playback time of the audio data;
receive selection of a particular image of the plurality of images in the second display area, the particular image corresponding to a particular time; and
control the display to display, in the first display area, text data corresponding to the particular time.

2. The display terminal of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to further display a third display area including a first image indicating a playback time of the total playback time of the audio data.

3. The display terminal of claim 2 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
receive selection of particular text data from among the text data displayed in the first display area; and
control the display to display the first image at a location in the third display area, the location based on a time indicated by the time information corresponding to the particular text data.

4. The display terminal of claim 3 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
playback the audio data related to the time indicated by the time information corresponding to the particular text data; and
control the display to display, as the first image, a playback time of the audio data.

5. The display terminal of claim 4 , wherein the time indicated by the time information corresponding to the particular text data is a playback start time of the audio data.

6. The display terminal of claim 5 , wherein
the circuitry is further configured to control the display to display a second image representing a playback progress of the audio data, and
the second image includes the first image.

7. The display terminal of claim 6 , wherein the second image is a seek bar for receiving designation on a playback start time of the audio data.

8. A system, comprising:
a management server that manages text data converted from audio data generated during an event; and
a display terminal communicably connected with the management server, wherein
the management server includes server circuitry configured to transmit the text data and time information related to the text data to the display terminal, and
the display terminal includes terminal circuitry configured to:
receive the text data and the time information from the management server;
control a display to display a first display area and a second display area, wherein the first display area includes the text data in an order according to the time information and the second display area includes a plurality of images corresponding to different times during a total playback time of the audio data;
receive selection of a particular image of the plurality of images in the second display area, the particular image corresponding to a particular time; and
control the display to display, in the first display area, text data corresponding to the particular time.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the terminal circuitry is configured to further display a third display area including a first image indicating a playback time of the total playback time of the audio data.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the terminal circuitry is further configured to:
receive selection of particular text data from among the text data displayed in the first display area; and
control the display to display the first image at a location in the third display area, the location based on a time indicated by the time information corresponding to the particular text data.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the terminal circuitry is further configured to:
playback the audio data related to the time indicated by the time information corresponding to the particular text data; and
control the display to display, as the first image, a playback time of the audio data.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the time indicated by the time information corresponding to the particular text data is a playback start time of the audio data.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein
the terminal circuitry is further configured to control the display to display a second image representing a playback progress of the audio data, and
the second image includes the first image.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the second image is a seek bar for receiving designation on a playback start time of the audio data.

15. A display control method, comprising:
receiving, from a management server that manages text data converted from audio data generated during an event, the text data and time information related to the text data;
controlling a display to display a first display area and a second display area, wherein the first display area includes the text data in an order according to the time information and the second display area includes a plurality of images corresponding to different times during a total playback time of the audio data;
receiving selection of a particular image of the plurality of images in the second display area, the particular image corresponding to a particular time; and
controlling the display to display, in the first display area, text data corresponding to the particular time.

16. The display control method of claim 15 , further comprising controlling the display to display a third display area including a first image indicating a playback time of the total playback time of the audio data.

17. The display control method of claim 16 , further comprising:
receiving selection of particular text data from among the text data displayed in the first display area; and
controlling the display to display the first image at a location in the third display area, the location based on a time indicated by the time information corresponding to the particular text data.

18. The display control method of claim 17 , further comprising:
playing back the audio data related to the time indicated by the time information corresponding to the particular text data; and
controlling the display to display, as the first image, a playback time of the audio data.

19. The display control method of claim 18 , wherein the time indicated by the time information corresponding to the particular text data is a playback start time of the audio data.

20. The display control method of claim 16 , further comprising:
controlling the display to display a second image representing a playback progress of the audio data, wherein
the second image includes the first image.
