Abstract

An information processing device includes: a distribution management unit that performs instruction processing pertaining to image distribution for image data captured at a specific event and transmitted to a server device; an event data management unit that performs processing for managing, in association with the image data, evaluation information for an image that is distributed; and a filter processing unit that performs filtering processing on the image data using the evaluation information as a filter condition.

First claim

1 . An information processing device comprising:
a distribution management unit that performs instruction processing pertaining to image distribution for image data captured at a specific event and transmitted to a server device; an event data management unit that performs processing for managing, in association with the image data, evaluation information for an image that is distributed; and a filter processing unit that performs filtering processing on the image data using the evaluation information as a filter condition.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein as the instruction processing, the distribution management unit performs processing of a start instruction and a stop instruction pertaining to the image distributed.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the image distribution is distribution performed for image data captured between a time of the start instruction and a time of the stop instruction.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the image distribution is distribution performed for image data, among image data captured between a time of the start instruction and a time of the stop instruction, that has been selected in the server device.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein as the instruction processing, the distribution management unit is capable of processing of a resume instruction pertaining to the image distributed, or an end instruction indicating transfer of the image distributed is to be ended, after the stop instruction has been made.

6 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein as the instruction processing, the distribution management unit performs processing of a delete instruction for the image distributed.

7 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the event data management unit performs processing for managing, in association with the image data, distribution information indicating that an image has been distributed by the server device.

8 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein for the image data captured at the specific event, the event data management unit performs processing for adding, to metadata, information indicating whether an image is a candidate for distribution by the server device or is not a candidate for distribution by the server device, and transmitting the image data to the server device.

9 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the evaluation information is information based on an input made by a viewer for the image distributed.

10 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a user interface control unit that performs user interface control which enables a plurality of types of filter conditions to be selected through an operation, and presents an image extracted through the filtering processing executed by the filter processing unit based on the filter conditions selected.

11 . The information processing device according to claim 10 ,
Wherein the user interface control unit performs control for enabling a thing to be selected as the filter condition, and presenting an image extracted through the filtering processing executed by the filter processing unit using the thing as the filter condition.

12 . The information processing device according to claim 10 ,
wherein the user interface control unit performs control for enabling a person to be selected as the filter condition, and presenting an image extracted through the filtering processing executed by the filter processing unit using the person as the filter condition.

13 . The information processing device according to claim 10 ,
wherein the user interface control unit: performs control for presenting a first tab, which presents captured images, and a second tab, which presents an image, among the captured images, that is a candidate to be used in image collection; and makes a filter condition that can be selected in the first tab and a filter condition that can be selected and the second tab different.

14 . The information processing device according to claim 10 ,
wherein the user interface control unit performs control for presenting a first tab, which presents captured images, and a second tab, which presents an image, among the captured images, that is a candidate to be used in image collection, and a filter condition selected in the first tab and a filter condition selected in the second tab are stored separately.

15 . The information processing device according to claim 10 ,
wherein the user interface control unit: performs control for switching between and presenting a first tab, which presents captured images, and a second tab, which presents an image, among the captured images, that is a candidate to be used in image collection; and performs control for displaying an image in a state in which the filter condition is not applied when switching from the first tab to the second tab.

16 . The information processing device according to claim 10 ,
wherein the user interface control unit performs control that enables a filter on/off operation, causes an image reflecting the filtering processing to be presented in response to a filter on operation, and causes an image not reflecting the filtering processing to be presented in response to a filter off operation, and the filter condition which is set is maintained even when the filter off operation is performed.

17 . The information processing device according to claim 10 ,
wherein the user interface control unit enables a reset operation for the filter condition, and the filter condition which is set is reset in response to the reset operation.

18 . The information processing device according to claim 10 ,
wherein the user interface control unit performs control for presenting a number of images extracted through the filtering processing for each filter condition that can be selected.

19 . An information processing method performed by an information processing device, the information processing method comprising:
instruction processing pertaining to image distribution for image data captured at a specific event and transmitted to a server device; processing for managing, in association with the image data, evaluation information for an image that is distributed; and filtering processing on the image data using the evaluation information as a filter condition.

20 . A program which causes an information processing device to execute:
instruction processing pertaining to image distribution for image data captured at a specific event and transmitted to a server device; processing for managing, in association with the image data, evaluation information for an image that is distributed; and filtering processing on the image data using the evaluation information as a filter condition.
