Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to information processing for performing edit processing for superimposing a predetermined character (telop) on a background image.
Apparatus and method .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 6, a telop (character) A
When a composite image C is obtained by superimposing on the background image B, the background image is prepared, and a predetermined number of telops to be superimposed on the background image are created. Then, the editing work is performed so that a predetermined telop is superimposed on a predetermined background image.

Conventionally, when performing this editing work, 2
One method was adopted. In one method, when a telop to be superimposed on the background image is selected, the telop is automatically reproduced from the recording medium so that the content of the telop can be confirmed.

On the other hand, in another method, even if a telop to be superimposed is selected and designated, the telop is not reproduced and the telop to be inserted next is repeatedly designated and specified. It is a method.

[0005]

As described above, in the conventional teloper, either one of the two methods is adopted. Therefore, each time a telop to be superimposed is selected and specified, the telop of the system that reproduces the telop is reproduced even though the content of the telop has already been confirmed. There was such a problem.

On the other hand, at the stage where the telop is selected and specified, the contents of the telop cannot be confirmed at that time in the telop of the system that does not reproduce the telop, so the editor stores the contents of the telop. There was a problem that the operability was poor.

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and makes it possible to quickly complete the editing process while confirming the superimposed telop.

[0011]

In the information processing apparatus and method having the above configuration, when the mode for displaying the file contents is selected, the contents of the file are displayed when a predetermined file is selected. On the other hand, when the mode in which the file contents are not displayed is selected, when the file is selected, the list of the file is created. Therefore, the content of the file can be adaptively confirmed by selecting the mode for displaying the file or the mode for not displaying the file as necessary. As a result, the editing process can be completed accurately and quickly.

[0012]

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of a telop according to the present invention. In this embodiment, a display unit 1 for displaying various editing menus and the like and a display unit 2 for displaying a telop superimposed on a background image are provided. A telop (character) file created in advance is written on the disc 3. The pointing device 4 is, for example, a mouse, and is operated when designating an icon or the like displayed on the display unit 1 and inputting a predetermined process to the CPU 5.

The CPU 5 controls the editing process according to the program stored in the ROM 6. In RAM7,
Data and the like necessary for the CPU 5 to execute various processes are appropriately stored. Of course, the program of the CPU 5 can be stored in the RAM 7. Keyboard 8
Operated when entering a telop (text).

Next, the editing process will be described. First, the keyboard 8 is operated to input a character to be superimposed on the background image, and a telop for each screen is created. FIG. 2 shows an example of this telop. In this example,
The subtitles are "Train Train Shupo Shupo", "Shuppo Shupo Shupo Poppo", and "Put Me Up", respectively. Characters input by operating the keyboard 8 are output and displayed on the display unit 1. The editor confirms the telop by looking at the display of the display unit 1, corrects it appropriately, and when the predetermined telop is completed, operates the keyboard 8 to instruct the storage. When the storage is instructed, the CPU 5 creates a file for each telop and stores it in the disk 3.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a block list is composed of an arbitrary number of telops, and an order list is composed of an arbitrary number of block lists. Then, this order list is created for each program. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, an order list 1 is created corresponding to the program A, and the order list 1 is composed of block lists 1 to 3. The block list 1 is composed of telops 1 to 3, the block list 2 is composed of telops 4 and 5, and the block list 3 is composed of telops 6 and 7.

For program B, order list 2
Is created, and this order list 2 is block list 4
And block list 5 and block list 4
Is composed of telops 8 to 11, and the block list 5 is composed of telops 12.

Therefore, the telop editing process is performed as follows for each program. (1) Create an order list. (2) Create a block list in the order list. (3) Register the telop in the block list. (4) Send a telop according to the order list.

First, the operation for creating an order list will be described. When the pointing device 4 or the keyboard 8 is operated to instruct the order list creation mode, the editor operates the keyboard 8 to input the order name. Then, the block lists constituting the order list of that name are sequentially created.

When creating a block list, first,
The keyboard 8 is operated to input the block name. Then, an arbitrary number of files (telops) are registered in the block list.

When creating this block list, the CP
U5 causes the display unit 1 to display an editing screen as shown in FIG. 4, for example. In the display section 31,
The order name and block name are displayed respectively. In this example, the order name is "Graph 2.od",
The block name is "create graph".

Further, a display section 32 below the display section 31 displays a list (block list) of telops registered in this block name. The No. on the leftmost side of this list In the column of, a number corresponding to each telop is described. In the "Key" column on the right side of the
YES by operating the ES key or NO key
Alternatively, the character NO is input. When the YES character is input at this position, the corresponding telop is transmitted when the space key of the keyboard 8 is operated, and when the NO character is displayed, the corresponding telop is displayed in the upper row. It will be automatically output following the telop.

A file name column is provided on the right side of the "key" column, and the name of the file in which the telop is recorded is described therein.

Further, a list of file names is displayed on the display section 33 on the right side of the display section 32. That is, CPU5
Displays the name of the file recorded on the disc 3 (the telop is described therein) and displays the list on the display unit 33. The editor is No. The number to be inserted in the field is designated by operating the pointing device 4. Then, the predetermined file name displayed on the display unit 33 is designated by the pointing device 4, and a process of selectively designating a desired file (telop) is executed.

The process of selecting and designating this file (telop) is executed as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, for example.

That is, first, in step S1, it is determined whether or not a predetermined telop (file) is selected from the list (headline) displayed on the display unit 33.

When it is determined in step S1 that a predetermined telop is selected (when a predetermined file in the list on the display unit 33 is clicked by the pointing device 4), the process proceeds to step S2, and image reading is selected. It is determined whether it has been done. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the display unit 35 displays the mode selection button 41 and the corresponding character. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, since the mode in which the telop is not displayed is selected, the characters "Do not display telop" are displayed on the right side of the mode selection button 41. When the user operates the pointing device 4 and clicks the mode selection button 41, the mode is changed to a mode in which a telop is displayed, and the characters “Display telop” are displayed on the right side of the mode selection button 41.

When it is determined in step S2 that the mode for displaying the telop is selected, the process proceeds to step S3, and the image reading process is executed. That is, C
The PU 5 reads the file specified in step S1 from the disk 3, outputs the content of the file to the display unit 2, and displays it. As a result, when a predetermined file is selected from the list of files displayed on the display unit 33 in step S1, the content of the file is automatically displayed in step S3. Therefore, the editor can confirm the content of the predetermined telop.

When it is determined in step S1 that the predetermined file is not selected from the list on the display unit 33, the process proceeds to step S4, and the icon Cut _- In on the display unit 36 is displayed by the pointing device 4. It is determined whether or not it is selected. When it is determined that the icon Cut _- In is selected, the process proceeds to step S5, and the process of adding to the block list is executed.

That is, if the editor has selected a mode for displaying a telop, the telop is reproduced and displayed in step S3, and after confirmation, the icon C is displayed if necessary.
You can use ut _- In to add the file to the block list. Then, if the mode in which the telop is not displayed is selected, the contents of the selected file can be registered in the block list without confirming the contents.

When it is determined in step S2 that the mode not displaying the telop is selected, the process of step S3 is not executed but the process of step S4 is executed. Therefore, after selecting a predetermined file from the list on the display unit 33, the icon Cut _- I
By selecting n, the file can be immediately registered in the block list without checking the contents of the file. The file corresponding to the telop is read from the disc 3 and output to the display unit 2,
It takes some time to display, but when the contents of the telop are already known to the editor, such confirmation processing is unnecessary. Therefore, in this case, the display of the content of the telop can be omitted and the next editing operation can be performed more quickly.

[0031] In step S4, the icon Cut _-
When it is determined that In is not selected,
In step S6, it is determined whether any other icon on the display unit 36, that is, Cut _- Out, Time _- Wait, or the cancel icon is selected. If it is determined that none of these icons has been selected, the process ends.

On the other hand, of these icons,
If it is determined that the predetermined one is selected, the process proceeds to step S7, and the process corresponding to the icon is executed. For example, when the icon Cut _- Out is selected, the cutout effect is registered in the block list. Also, the icon Time
_- when the Wait is selected, the effect of the time weight in the block list are registered. Then, in this case, the editor further specifies the time to wait.

When the icon cancel is operated, the editing process is terminated.

The order list edited as described above is written on the disc 3 as needed.

After the order list is created as described above, when the sending mode is selected and a predetermined order list is designated, the telops included in the order list are sequentially read from the disk 3 and the sending circuit (not shown) is shown. It is transmitted from and is superimposed on the background image.

As described above, various effects other than the file name are registered in the block list. For example, when the effect is registered as shown in FIG. 4, since the key column is YES for number 1, if the space key of the keyboard 8 is operated, the file name mg
raph1. The vif telop is displayed by cut-in. In the next number 2, since the file name does not exist and only the cutout is specified, the telop display of the number 1 is deleted, and then in the number 3,
File mgraph1. The vif telop is displayed. Since this file is the same as the file with the number 1, in this embodiment, after the telop of this file is displayed, it is once deleted and then displayed again.

Next, in the case of number 4, the file mgr
aph2. Since vif is registered with the YES key,
No. 3 mggraph 1. When the editor operates the space key of the keyboard 8 while the telop corresponding to vif is displayed, the display is mggraph2.vif. v
The display will change to if. After that, in the lists of number 5 to number 14, the cutout and cutin processes are alternately repeated.

Then, as specified in No. 15, mggraph2. When the space key is operated while the telop corresponding to vif is displayed, mggraph3. The telop corresponding to the vif file will be displayed.

When the time weight effect is designated, a predetermined telop is continuously displayed for the designated time.

When a predetermined file (telop) is inserted in the block list created as described above, the pointing device 4 specifies the number of the insertion position. At this time, as shown in the display unit 34, the file names and effects before and after the insertion position are displayed. In this embodiment, the number 9 on the display unit 32
Since the file name and effect of number 8 are designated, mggraph2. Since vif and “wipe-in” are displayed, and no file name is designated for number 9, only the “time wait” effect is displayed.

The characters "insertion position" and double angle brackets are displayed between the numbers 8 and 9, and a predetermined file (telop) can be inserted between the numbers 8 and 9. It is shown. That is, in this state, when the editor specifies a predetermined file from the list on the display unit 33, the specified file is inserted between the numbers 8 and 9.
