Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process including receiving a setting of an anchor to a subject in an image included in a video; determining whether a movement amount between the subject to which the anchor has been set in a predetermined image in the video and the subject in another image included in the video is greater than or equal to a predetermined value; and storing, in a storage unit, an identifier of the another image that is a determination target, and position information of the anchor, when the movement amount is determined to be greater than or equal to the predetermined value.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:
receiving a setting of an anchor to a subject in an image included in a video, the anchor being an image to be displayed and superimposed on the video at a position responsive to a position of the subject when the video is displayed, the anchor being associated with a link destination that is set for the anchor;
detecting both a first anchor position of the anchor set to the subject in a first frame in the video and a second anchor position of the anchor set to the subject in a second frame in the video, the second frame being later than the first frame in the video;
determining whether a movement amount between the subject in the first frame in the video and the subject in the second frame in the video is greater than or equal to a predetermined value based on the detected first anchor position and the detected second anchor position; and
storing, in a storage unit, an identifier of the second frame and position information of the anchor in the second frame such that the identifier of the second frame is associated in the storage unit with the position information of the anchor in the second frame, when the movement amount is determined to be greater than or equal to the predetermined value, and
wherein whether the position information of the anchor in the second frame is stored in the storage unit is determined by whether the movement amount is no smaller than the predetermined value.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein
when the first frame is a previous frame that is immediately before the second frame and that has not yet been selected as data to be stored in the storage unit,
the storing further includes
storing, in the storage unit, an identifier of the previous frame and position information of the anchor in the previous frame.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the determining is performed by using the first frame that is a newest frame among frames that are storage targets to be stored in the storage unit.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 3 , wherein
the determining includes
determining whether an interval between the second frame and the newest frame is greater than or equal to a threshold, and

the storing includes
storing, in the storage unit, the identifier of the second frame and position information of the second frame, when the interval is determined to be greater than or equal to the threshold.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein
when reproducing the video,
when displaying a frame indicated by an identifier stored in the storage unit, the anchor is superposed at a position indicated by the position information, and
when displaying a frame other than the frame indicated by the identifier stored in the storage unit, the anchor is superposed at a position obtained by performing interpolation calculation based on two position information items of the anchor corresponding to two frames positioned before and after the frame that is a display target, the two frames being included among frames indicated by identifiers stored in the storage unit.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the image of the anchor moves to follow a movement of the subject in the video.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 6 , wherein the position information of the anchor is obtained in response to the position of the subject such that the image of the anchor is superimposed on the subject in the video.

8. An information processing device comprising:
a set unit configured to set an anchor to a subject in an image included in a video, the anchor being an image to be displayed and superimposed on the video at a position responsive to a position of the subject when the video is displayed, the anchor being associated with a link destination that is set for the anchor;
a unit configured to detect both a first anchor position of the anchor set to the subject in a first frame in the video and a second anchor position of the anchor set to the subject in a second frame in the video, the second frame being later than the first frame in the video;
a determine unit configured to determine whether a movement amount between the subject in the first frame in the video and the subject in the second frame in the video is greater than or equal to a predetermined value based on the detected first anchor position and the detected second anchor position; and
a storage unit configured to store an identifier of the second frame and position information of the anchor in the second frame such that the identifier of the second frame is associated in the storage unit with the position information of the anchor in the second frame, when the movement amount is determined to be greater than or equal to the predetermined value, and
wherein whether the position information of the anchor in the second frame is stored in the storage unit is determined by whether the movement amount is no smaller than the predetermined value.

9. A method for processing information executed by a computer, the method comprising:
receiving a setting of an anchor to a subject in an image included in a video, the anchor being an image to be displayed and superimposed on the video at a position responsive to a position of the subject when the video is displayed, the anchor being associated with a link destination that is set for the anchor;
detecting both a first anchor position of the anchor set to the subject in a first frame in the video and a second anchor position of the anchor set to the subject in a second frame in the video, the second frame being later than the first frame in the video;
determining whether a movement amount between the subject in the first frame in the video and the subject in the second frame in the video is greater than or equal to a predetermined value based on the detected first anchor position and the detected second anchor position; and
storing, in a storage unit, an identifier of the second frame and position information of the anchor in the second frame such that the identifier of the second frame is associated in the storage unit with the position information of the anchor in the second frame, when the movement amount is determined to be greater than or equal to the predetermined value, and
wherein whether the position information of the anchor in the second frame is stored in the storage unit is determined by whether the movement amount is no smaller than the predetermined value.
