Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for processing information and a program product are provided to group contents based on metadata generated from a receipt, a pamphlet, and a ticket. A feature extractor(54) extracts features of a specified image among a plurality of images related to each other. An image determining unit(55) determines a type of a medium having a character string of a specified image based on the features. A metadata adding unit(56) adds the first metadata, which are character string data, to another image of a plurality of images. The feature extractor extracts features that are character strings shown in a specific image. The feature extractor recognizes a character string shown in a specific image.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a visual signpost or a clue for finally arriving at a desired content to a user. SOLUTION: This content management system has: a non-purpose search mode performing random content search when the user has no purpose of searching for the content; and a purpose-classified search mode designated with a purpose or a retrieval condition. Under the non-purpose search mode, the retrieval condition is randomly generated, and the content is extracted, or the content is extracted regardless of the retrieval condition. Under the purpose-classified search mode, a menu screen for inputting the retrieval condition in each retrieval item is exhibited. The retrieval item such as a date, a name of the content, a favorite, entrustment, a photograph, a video or music is prepared. The content is extracted on the basis of the retrieval condition.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To classify content according to metadata created from receipts, pamphlets, tickets and the like. SOLUTION: A feature extracting part 54 extracts features of a predetermined image among a plurality of images associated with each other. Based on the features extracted, an image determining part 55 determines whether or not the predetermined image is an image of the surface of a certificate, a deed, a ticket or an album with a character string written thereon. If the predetermined image is determined to be an image of the surface of a certificate, a deed, a ticket or an album with a character string written whereon, a metadata adding part 56 adds first metadata that is the character string data of the character string to another of the plurality of images. This invention is applicable to an information processing apparatus capable of recording or reproducing images and content, such as an HDD recorder or a personal computer. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
