Creation of 3D metadata in the 3D moving image playback apparatus is performed in a state where a 3D moving image is displayed on the 3D display 15. At this time, first, the reproduction processing unit 16 reads the 3D moving image data designated by the user from the 3D moving image DB 13 and performs reproduction processing (step S101), and outputs it to the 3D display 15. Then, the user selects 3D metadata to be displayed on the 3D moving image output to the 3D display 15 using the spatial mouse 11 (for example, selects from a list or the like). Then, the reproduction processing unit 16 synthesizes and displays the selected 3D metadata information on the 3D moving image (step S102). Here, the user selects the 3D metadata displayed on the 3D moving image by using the space mouse 11, and moves the space mouse 11 in any direction of up, down, left, right, and back in the real space while selecting. The 3D metadata displayed on the 3D moving image can be moved. Specifically, in this process, the spatial mouse control unit 12 detects the movement direction and movement amount of the spatial mouse 11 and notifies the reproduction processing unit 16 of the movement direction and movement amount so that the reproduction processing unit 16 performs 3D. Processing for moving the display position of the metadata on the 3D moving image is performed.

  When the 3D metadata is moved and displayed on the 3D moving image, the user uses the space mouse 11 to instruct the start of metadata creation. Then, the sample point generation unit 18 receives an instruction to start creating metadata from the spatial mouse control unit 12 (step S103), and receives position specifying information from the spatial mouse 11 via the spatial mouse control unit 12 (step S103). S104). This position specifying information is for specifying a position specified by the user to display 3D metadata using the spatial mouse 11. The sample point generation unit 18 receives the position specifying information, the display position of the 3D metadata on the 3D moving image (the coordinates in the virtual space of the 3D moving image), and the 3D metadata at the display position. The playback processing unit 16 is inquired about the elapsed time from the playback start time of the 3D moving image at the displayed time. The reproduction processing unit 16 detects a display position (coordinates in the virtual space of the 3D moving image) of the 3D metadata at the reception time of the position specifying information (step S105), and also from the reproduction start time. Since the elapsed time is measured, the elapsed time at that time is detected (step S106), and the display including the detected display position of the 3D metadata, the elapsed time from the reproduction start time, and the ID of the 3D metadata. The attribute information is transmitted to the sample point generation unit 18. Then, the sample point generation unit 18 transmits the received display attribute information and 3D metadata creation instruction to the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19.

  Next, the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 that has received the display attribute information and the 3D metadata creation instruction temporarily stores the display attribute information. In addition, when the user inputs the display position a plurality of times using the space mouse 11 or when the display position is automatically detected at a predetermined interval, the sample point generation unit 18 is positioned each time. The specific information is transmitted to the reproduction processing unit 16, and as a result, the sample point generation unit 18 receives the display attribute information from the reproduction processing unit 16 and transmits it to the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19. As a result, the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 temporarily stores a plurality of display attribute information. Then, the spatial mouse control unit 12 determines whether the display end input of the 3D metadata has been received from the spatial mouse 11 based on the user's operation (step S107). The sample point generation unit 18 is notified to create the metadata up to. Then, the sample point generation unit 18 notifies the generation of 3D metadata to the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19, and the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 converts the plurality of display attribute information temporarily stored into motion expression information. The data is transmitted to the generation unit 17 to instruct generation of search target data.

  Next, the motion expression information generation unit 17 starts generating search target data based on the received plurality of display attribute information (step S108). Here, the data to be searched is the moving direction and movement of the 3D metadata on the 3D moving image calculated based on the display position of the 3D metadata indicated by the display attribute information and the elapsed time from the reproduction start time. This is a shape template for speed and trajectory. The data to be searched such as the moving direction, moving speed, and trajectory shape template is information used for searching 3D metadata displayed in the 3D moving image. When the generation of the search target data is completed, the motion expression information generation unit 17 transmits the generated search target data to the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19. The search target data is calculated for each display position (sample point) of the 3D metadata indicated by the display attribute information. Then, the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 associates each temporarily stored display attribute information with the searched data calculated for each display attribute information, and sample point information in the 3D metadata DB 14 Register in the table (step S109). That is, each display attribute information includes an ID of 3D metadata, a display position of the 3D metadata, an elapsed time from a reproduction start time displayed at the display position, a moving direction and a moving speed at the display position. The locus shape template is registered in the sample point information table. Note that, using the information recorded in the sample point information table as described above, 3D metadata is output when a 3D moving image is reproduced.

  Through the above processing, the moving direction, moving speed, trajectory shape template, display position, and display position of the 3D metadata displayed on the 3D moving image at the display position specified by the user or automatically detected. It is possible to register the elapsed time from the reproduction start time to be displayed on the screen. Since information on discrete display positions (sample points) is registered in this way, the information stored in the database can be reduced.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a processing flow of the composite display of 3D metadata during 3D moving image playback.
Hereinafter, 3D metadata composite display processing during 3D moving image playback will be described.
When instructed to reproduce the 3D moving image, the reproduction processing unit 16 reads the 3D moving image data instructed to reproduce from the 3D moving image DB 13 and reproduces it (step S201), and outputs it to the 3D display 15. Also, the ID of 3D metadata to be combined with the reproduced 3D moving image is stored in the 3D metadata DB 14 in association with the ID of the 3D moving image data, and the reproduction processing unit 16 sets the ID of the 3D metadata. In addition to reading, sample point information associated with the 3D metadata ID and registered in the 3D metadata DB 14 is acquired (step S202). Then, the reproduction processing unit 16 sets the display position of each sample point stored in the acquired sample point information, the set time elapsed from the reproduction start time at the display position, and the ID of the 3D metadata to be synthesized and displayed as motion expression information. It outputs to the production | generation part 17 and instruct | indicates the production | generation of display locus information (step S203).

  Next, when generating the display trajectory information, the motion expression information generation unit 17 displays the display trajectory information (sample point display position based on the set of the display position of each sample point and the elapsed time from the reproduction start time at the display position. (Coefficient of a mathematical expression representing a trajectory connecting the trajectory) (step S204), and the display trajectory information and the information of the set of the display position of each sample point and the elapsed time from the reproduction start time at the display position are 3D. Corresponding to the metadata ID, it is stored in a memory or the like in its own processing unit (step S205). Then, the motion expression information generation unit 17 sets a set of the display position of each sample point of the 3D metadata to be synthesized and displayed and the elapsed time from the reproduction start time at the display position when the reproduction processing unit 16 reproduces the 3D moving image. Based on the display trajectory information of the 3D metadata, a display position corresponding to the elapsed time from the playback start time of the 3D moving image is calculated (step S206), and an instruction to display the 3D metadata at the display position is issued. Processing to be performed is performed on the reproduction processing unit 16 (step S207). Thereby, the reproduction processing unit 16 reproduces the 3D moving image and performs a process of combining and displaying the 3D metadata on the 3D moving image (step S208). The calculation of the display trajectory information may be performed in advance before the 3D moving image reproduction process or may be performed simultaneously with the reproduction of the 3D moving image. The display trajectory information may be recorded in advance when creating the 3D metadata, and recorded in the sample point information table (FIG. 3) as a part of the motion expression information. In addition, there are cases where the display trajectory is a trajectory connecting the display position of each sample point to a straight line, a trajectory connecting the display position of each sample point by a spline curve, or a specific trajectory template. A calculation example of each display trajectory information when each of these display trajectories is used will be described later.

FIG. 6 is a first diagram illustrating a processing flow of display trajectory information calculation processing.
FIG. 7 is a first diagram showing an overview of the display trajectory information calculation process.
Next, a calculation example of display trajectory information when the display trajectory is a trajectory that connects the display positions of the sample points to a straight line will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
First, the motion expression information generation unit 17 receives from the reproduction processing unit 16 information on the display position of each sample point, the set of elapsed time from the reproduction start time at the display position, and the ID of the 3D metadata to be synthesized and displayed. (Step S301). Then, the motion expression information generation unit 17 displays the display position of the sample point P1 having the earliest elapsed time from the playback start time and the sample point having the earliest elapsed time from the playback start time among the display positions of the respective sample points. Each coefficient of the linear equation (linear equation in the virtual space of the 3D moving image) between two points with the display position of P2 is obtained. Similarly, the motion expression information generation unit 17 obtains each coefficient of a linear equation between the display position of the sample point P2 and the display position of the sample point P3 that has elapsed from the playback start time next. Then, for each set of two display positions whose elapsed times are close, linear coefficients connecting the two points are obtained (step S302). Each linear coefficient is used as display trajectory information.

  Then, when the calculation of the display trajectory information is performed at the time of reproduction of the 3D moving image or immediately before the reproduction, the motion expression information generation unit 17 temporarily displays the display trajectory information indicating each coefficient of each generated linear expression. (Step S303), and notifies the reproduction processing unit 16 of completion of calculation of the display trajectory information (step S304). When the calculation of the display trajectory information is performed at the time of creating the 3D metadata, the motion expression information generation unit 17 transmits the generated display trajectory information to the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19, and the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 registers the display trajectory information in the 3D metadata DB 14 in association with the 3D metadata ID. Then, the motion expression information generation unit 17 sets a set of the display position of each sample point of the 3D metadata to be synthesized and displayed and the elapsed time from the reproduction start time at the display position when the reproduction processing unit 16 reproduces the 3D moving image. Based on the display trajectory information of the 3D metadata, a display position corresponding to the elapsed time from the playback start time of the 3D moving image is calculated (step S305), and an instruction to display the 3D metadata at the display position is issued. The processing to be performed is performed on the reproduction processing unit 16 (step S306). As a result, the reproduction processing unit 16 reproduces the 3D moving image and performs a process of combining and displaying the 3D metadata at the designated display position on the 3D moving image (step S307).

FIG. 8 is a second diagram showing a processing flow of the display trajectory information calculation processing.
FIG. 9 is a second diagram showing an overview of the display trajectory information calculation process.
Next, an example of calculating the display trajectory information when the display trajectory is a trajectory connecting the display positions of the sample points by spline curves will be described with reference to FIGS.
The motion expression information generation unit 17 receives from the reproduction processing unit 16 information on the display position of each sample point and the set time elapsed from the reproduction start time at the display position and the ID of the 3D metadata to be displayed in combination (step S401). ). Then, the motion expression information generation unit 17 obtains a calculation formula for a spline curve that connects the display positions of all the sample points with a smooth curve, further obtains a coefficient for each calculation formula, and obtains each coefficient for the expression representing this spline curve. Display trajectory information is set (step S402). Here, in the present embodiment, the expression of the spline curve is expressed by a cubic function of the elapsed time t from the reproduction start time as shown below.
x = a ₁ t ³ + b ₁ t ² + c ₁ t + d ₁
y = a ₂ t ³ + b ₂ t ² + c ₂ t + d ₂
z = a ₃ t ³ + b ₃ t ² + c ₃ t + d ₃

  When the calculation of the display trajectory information is performed at the time of playback of the 3D moving image or immediately before the playback, the motion expression information generation unit 17 temporarily displays the display trajectory information indicated by each coefficient of each generated linear expression. (Step S403), and notifies the reproduction processing unit 16 of completion of calculation of the display trajectory information (step S404). When the calculation of the display trajectory information is performed at the time of creating the 3D metadata, the motion expression information generation unit 17 transmits the generated display trajectory information to the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19, and the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 registers the display trajectory information in the 3D metadata DB 14 in association with the 3D metadata ID. Then, the motion expression information generation unit 17 sets a set of the display position of each sample point of the 3D metadata to be synthesized and displayed and the elapsed time from the reproduction start time at the display position when the reproduction processing unit 16 reproduces the 3D moving image. Based on the display trajectory information of the 3D metadata, a display position corresponding to the elapsed time from the playback start time of the 3D moving image is calculated (step S405), and an instruction to display the 3D metadata at the display position is given. Processing to be performed is performed on the reproduction processing unit 16 (step S406). Thereby, the reproduction processing unit 16 reproduces the 3D moving image and performs a process of combining and displaying the 3D metadata on the 3D moving image (step S407).

FIG. 10 is a third diagram illustrating the processing flow of the display trajectory information calculation processing.
FIG. 11 is a third diagram showing an outline of the calculation process of the display trajectory information.
Next, a calculation example of display trajectory information when the display trajectory is a fixed trajectory template specified based on the display position of each sample point will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.
In this case, it is assumed that the motion expression information generation unit 17 stores data of a fixed trajectory template in advance. First, the motion expression information generation unit 17 receives the display position of each sample point from the reproduction processing unit 16 (step S501). Then, the motion expression information generation unit 17 matches the center of gravity of the display position of each sample point with the center of gravity of the standard trajectory template, and whether the display position of each sample point is within a certain distance from the trajectory indicated by the standard trajectory template. It is determined whether or not (step S502). Then, it is determined whether or not the display position of each sample point is within a certain distance from the locus indicated by the fixed locus template using a plurality of fixed locus templates, and all the display positions of each sample point are within a certain distance. The coefficient of the formula of the standard trajectory template determined to be specified as display trajectory information calculated based on the display position of each sample point (step S503). The standard trajectory template includes a circle, an ellipse, a triangle represented by three straight lines, a quadrangle represented by four straight lines, a sine and cosine curve, etc. in the virtual space, and the trajectory is an elapsed time from the reproduction start time. It is represented by a function of t. When a plurality of standard trajectory templates can be specified, for example, the standard trajectory template when the average of the distances from the standard trajectory template of the display position of each sample point is the smallest is specified.

  When the calculation of the display trajectory information is calculated during or immediately before the playback of the 3D moving image, the motion expression information generation unit 17 temporarily stores the specified display trajectory information in a memory or the like (step S504). ), The reproduction processing unit 16 is notified of the completion of calculation of the display trajectory information (step S505). If the calculation of the display trajectory information is performed at the time of creating the 3D metadata, the motion expression information generating unit 17 transmits the specified display trajectory information to the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19, and the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 registers the display trajectory information in the 3D metadata DB 14 in association with the 3D metadata ID. Then, the motion expression information generation unit 17 sets a set of the display position of each sample point of the 3D metadata to be synthesized and displayed and the elapsed time from the reproduction start time at the display position when the reproduction processing unit 16 reproduces the 3D moving image. Based on the display trajectory information of the 3D metadata, a display position corresponding to the elapsed time from the playback start time of the 3D moving image is calculated (step S506), and an instruction to display the 3D metadata at the display position is given. The processing to be performed is performed on the reproduction processing unit 16 (step S507). As a result, the reproduction processing unit 16 reproduces the 3D moving image and performs a process of combining and displaying the 3D metadata on the 3D moving image (step S508).

FIG. 12 is a fourth diagram illustrating a processing flow of the display trajectory information calculation processing.
FIG. 13 is a fourth diagram showing an overview of the display trajectory information calculation process.
Next, an example in which the display trajectory information is calculated based on the approximate position of each sample point based on the display position of each sample point will be described with reference to FIGS.
The motion expression information generation unit 17 receives from the reproduction processing unit 16 information on the display positions P1 to P17 of each sample point and the elapsed time from the reproduction start time at the display position and the ID of the 3D metadata to be synthesized and displayed. (Step S601). Then, the motion expression information generation unit 17 includes a plurality of continuous display positions P1 to P17 among the display positions of the sample points, and the start display position P1 and the start point P1 of the plurality of continuous display positions P1 to P17. It is determined in order from the display position P3 next to the display position P2 of the next point whether it is located in the virtual cylinder D1 having a predetermined radius centered on the straight extension line connecting the display position P2 of the next point (step). In step S602), display trajectory information including a coefficient of an expression representing a straight line T1 connecting the display position P6 immediately before the display position P7 determined to be not located in the virtual cylinder D1 and the display position P1 of the start point is calculated. (Step S603). Then, it is determined whether the display positions of all the sample points are included in the straight line indicated by the display trajectory information (step S604). If not included, the display position that is not included in the straight line of the display trajectory information is the most. The display position of the sample point indicating the point displayed at the elapsed time from the early reproduction start time is set as the start point (step S605), and the above-described display trajectory information calculation process in steps S602 and S603 is repeated.

That is, the motion expression information generation unit 17 repeats the calculation of the display trajectory information in the same manner, starting from the display position P6 immediately before the display position P7 determined not to be positioned for the first time in the virtual cylinder D1. In other words, whether the next point display position P7 is positioned within the virtual cylinder D2 having a predetermined radius centered on a straight extension line connecting the start point display position P6 and the next point display position P7 of the start point P6. A coefficient of an expression representing a straight line T2 that is determined in order from the next display position P8 and connects the display position P7 immediately before the display position P8 that is first determined not to be located in the virtual cylinder D2 and the display position P6 of the start point. Display trajectory information consisting of
Similarly, whether or not it is located within a virtual cylinder D3 having a predetermined radius centered on a straight extension line connecting the display position P7 determined to be the next start point and the display position P8 of the next point of the start point P7, The next display position P8 of the next point is sequentially determined from the display position P9, and the display position P8 immediately before the display position P9 determined for the first time not to be located in the virtual cylinder D3 is connected to the display position P7 of the start point. Display trajectory information including the coefficient of the equation representing the straight line T3 is calculated.
Similarly, whether or not it is located within a virtual cylinder D4 having a predetermined radius centered on a straight extension line connecting the display position P8 determined next as the start point and the display position P9 of the next point of the start point P8, The next display position P9 is determined in order from the next display position P10, and the display position P9 immediately before the display position P10 determined for the first time not to be located in the virtual cylinder D4 is connected to the start display position P8. Display trajectory information composed of coefficients of an expression representing the straight line T4 is calculated.

Similarly, whether or not it is located within a virtual cylinder D5 having a predetermined radius centered on a straight extension line connecting the display position P9 determined next as the start point and the display position P10 of the next point of the start point P9, The next display position P10 of the next point is sequentially determined from the display position P11, and the display position P11 immediately before the display position P12 determined for the first time not to be located within the virtual cylinder D5 is connected to the display position P9 of the start point. Display trajectory information including the coefficient of the equation representing the straight line T5 is calculated.
Similarly, whether or not it is located within a virtual cylinder D6 having a predetermined radius centered on a straight extension line connecting the display position P11 determined as the next start point and the display position P12 of the next point of the start point P11. The next display position P12 of the next point is sequentially determined from the display position P13, and the display position P14 immediately before the display position P15 that is determined for the first time not to be located in the virtual cylinder D6 is connected to the display position P11 of the start point. Display trajectory information including the coefficient of the equation representing the straight line T6 is calculated.
Similarly, whether or not it is located within a virtual cylinder D7 having a predetermined radius centered on a straight extension line connecting the display position P14 determined next as the start point and the display position P15 of the next point of the start point P14, Since the display position P16 is determined in order from the display position P16 next to the display position P15 of the next point and there is no display position up to P17 in the virtual cylinder D7, a straight line T7 connecting the display position P17 and the display position P14 of the start point is obtained. Display trajectory information composed of coefficients of the expression to be expressed is calculated.

  When the calculation of the display trajectory information is calculated at the time of playback of the 3D moving image or immediately before the playback, the motion expression information generation unit 17 temporarily stores the calculated display trajectory information (step S606). The reproduction processing unit 16 is notified of the completion of calculation of the display trajectory information (step S607). When the display trajectory information is calculated when the 3D metadata is created, the motion expression information generation unit 17 transmits the calculated display trajectory information to the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19, and the 3D metadata generation / editing unit The unit 19 registers the display trajectory information in the 3D metadata DB 14 in association with the 3D metadata ID. Then, the motion expression information generation unit 17 sets a set of the display position of each sample point of the 3D metadata to be synthesized and displayed and the elapsed time from the reproduction start time at the display position when the reproduction processing unit 16 reproduces the 3D moving image. Based on the display trajectory information of the 3D metadata, a display position corresponding to the elapsed time from the playback start time of the 3D moving image is calculated (step S608), and an instruction to display the 3D metadata at the display position is issued. The processing to be performed is performed on the reproduction processing unit 16 (step S609). As a result, the reproduction processing unit 16 reproduces the 3D moving image and performs a process of combining and displaying 3D metadata on the 3D moving image (step S610).

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a processing flow of 3D metadata composition display.
FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an outline of processing of 3D metadata composition display.
Next, 3D metadata composition display processing on a 3D moving image using display trajectory information will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15.
When reproducing the 3D moving image, the reproduction processing unit 16 associates the 3D metadata recorded in the 3D metadata DB 14 with the ID of the 3D moving image and the ID of the 3D metadata. Read (step S701). The reproduction processing unit 16 notifies the motion expression information generation unit 17 of the ID of the 3D metadata to be synthesized and displayed and inquires about the display position of the 3D metadata (step S702). In the case of the embodiment in which the display trajectory information is registered in a pre-calculated sample point information table (FIG. 3), the reproduction processing unit 16 uses the sample point information table (based on the 3D metadata ID ( The display trajectory information is acquired from FIG. 3) and transmitted to the motion expression information generation unit 17, and the motion expression information generation unit 17 temporarily stores the ID of the 3D metadata and the display trajectory information in association with each other.

  When the motion expression information generation unit 17 receives the notification of the ID of the 3D metadata, the display position of each sample point stored in association with the ID, the elapsed time from the reproduction start time at the display position, and the display locus Information is read from the storage unit in the processing unit (step S703). Then, the current elapsed time from the reproduction start time is obtained from the reproduction processing unit 16 (step S704), and 2 indicating the elapsed time closest to the current elapsed time based on the elapsed time from the reproduction start time of each sample point. The display position of one sample point is specified (step S705). Then, the ratio w of the current elapsed time in the difference between the elapsed times of the two specified sample points is obtained (step S706). Then, the position of the ratio w in the trajectory indicated by the display trajectory information passing through the two specified sample points is calculated as the display position of the 3D metadata at the current elapsed time (step S707), and the display position is reproduced. The unit 16 is notified (step S708). The reproduction processing unit 16 synthesizes and displays 3D metadata at the display position on the 3D moving image received from the motion expression information generation unit 17 (step S709). By repeating this process every predetermined time, a moving image in which 3D metadata moves on the 3D moving image can be displayed on the 3D display 15.

FIG. 16 is a first diagram showing a processing flow of editing 3D metadata during moving image reproduction.
FIG. 17 is a first diagram illustrating an overview of 3D metadata editing processing during moving image playback.
Next, processing in which the user edits 3D metadata in a situation where 3D moving images and 3D metadata are being reproduced will be described. Here, editing of 3D metadata means correcting a display trajectory in which 3D metadata moves on a 3D moving image.
First, the reproduction processing unit 16 reproduces a 3D moving image (step S801), and 3D metadata is synthesized and displayed on the moving image (step S802). In such a situation, the user operates the spatial mouse 11 to move the mouse pointer displayed on the 3D display of the spatial mouse 11, matches the display position of the 3D metadata, and further presses the selection button. To do. Then, the spatial mouse control unit 12 receives a selection event of 3D metadata from the spatial mouse 11 (step S803), and performs a selection start notification triggered by the reception of the selection event to the sample point generation unit 18 (step S804). When the sample point generation unit 18 receives the selection start notification, the sample point generation unit 18 compares the current display position of the mouse pointer with the display position of the 3D metadata to determine whether the mouse pointer has selected the 3D metadata ( Step S805). In this determination, a process for determining that the 3D metadata is selected when the display position of the mouse pointer matches the display position of the 3D metadata, and the display position of the mouse pointer is within a certain distance from the display position of the 3D metadata. If it is within a certain distance, one of the processes for determining that the 3D metadata is selected is performed. If the processing of determining that the 3D metadata is selected if the display position of the mouse pointer is within a certain distance from the display position of the 3D metadata, the spatial mouse 11 aligns the mouse pointer with the 3D metadata. Even if it is difficult, the user can easily select.

  If the sample point generator 18 determines that the 3D metadata is selected by the mouse pointer, the sample point generator 18 notifies the 3D metadata generator / editor 19 of the ID of the 3D metadata. Then, the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 waits until it receives a movement request for the selected 3D metadata. When the user wants to correct the display trajectory of the 3D metadata selected using the spatial mouse 11 on the 3D moving image, the user moves the mouse pointer by operating the spatial mouse while selecting the 3D metadata. When the spatial mouse control unit 12 detects the movement amount of the 3D metadata by the operation of the spatial mouse 11 (step S806), the spatial mouse control unit 12 notifies the reproduction processing unit 16 and the sample point generation unit 18 of the movement amount. When the reproduction processing unit 16 receives the notification of the movement amount, the reproduction processing unit 16 moves and displays the sample point displayed on the 3D moving image based on the movement amount, and is selected along with the movement display of the sample point. The 3D metadata is also moved and displayed (step S807). Further, the sample point generation unit 18 generates a movement request storing the movement amount of the 3D metadata displayed by the reproduction processing unit 16 on the 3D moving image and the ID of the 3D metadata, and the 3D metadata generation editing unit 19. Send to. Then, the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 temporarily stores the movement amount of the received 3D metadata and transfers the movement request to the motion expression information generation unit 17.

  When the movement expression information generation unit 17 receives the movement request, the movement amount indicated by the movement request is detected, and the display trajectory information is recalculated to change the entire display trajectory of the 3D metadata by the detected movement amount. Is performed (step S808). Here, the moving amount is indicated by each moving amount of (x, y, z) in the virtual space of the 3D moving image. Therefore, the motion expression information generation unit 17 identifies display trajectory information from the ID of the 3D metadata indicated by the movement request, and converts the mathematical expression representing the trajectory indicated by the display trajectory information by the amount indicated by the movement amount. Then, each coefficient of the mathematical expression representing the display trajectory after the movement is calculated, and the display trajectory information indicating the calculated coefficient is stored in association with the 3D metadata ID as new display trajectory information (step S809). The motion expression information generation unit 17 calculates the display position of the 3D metadata in the elapsed time from the reproduction start time based on the new display trajectory information after recalculation (step S810), and notifies the reproduction processing unit 16 of the display position. As a result, the reproduction processing unit 16 synthesizes and displays the 3D metadata of the new display locus on the 3D moving image (step S811). In addition, the motion expression information generation unit 17 transmits new display trajectory information after recalculation to the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19. When the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 receives a notification of editing completion from the spatial mouse control unit 12 via the sample point generation unit 18 (for example, the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 selected by the user operating the spatial mouse 11). This event is notified to the spatial mouse control unit 12 by clicking on the 3D moving image other than the data), and the new display trajectory information after the recalculation is associated with the ID of the selected 3D metadata. It records in the sample point information table in metadata DB14 (step S812).

FIG. 18 is a second diagram illustrating a processing flow of editing 3D metadata during moving image reproduction.
FIG. 19 is a second diagram showing an overview of 3D metadata editing processing during moving image playback.
In the processing in steps S801 to 8012 described above, an example in which the entire display trajectory of the 3D metadata is moved and new display trajectory information is recalculated according to the movement amount of the selected 3D metadata has been described. However, an instruction to change the display position of a sample point having the selected 3D metadata may be received, and new display trajectory information in which only the display position of the sample point is changed may be recalculated.

  That is, in this case, Steps S801 to S805 are performed as described above. When the user wants to correct the display trajectory of the 3D metadata selected by the user using the spatial mouse 11 on the 3D moving image, the user operates the spatial mouse while selecting a sample point in the display trajectory of the 3D metadata. Move the mouse pointer. When the spatial mouse control unit 12 detects the movement amount due to the operation of the spatial mouse 11 (step S906), it notifies the reproduction processing unit 16 and the sample point generation unit 18 of the movement amount. Upon receiving the movement amount notification, the reproduction processing unit 16 moves and displays the sample points displayed on the 3D moving image based on the movement amount (step S907). In addition, the sample point generation unit 18 outputs a movement request storing the movement amount of the sample point on the 3D moving image displayed by the reproduction processing unit 16 and the ID of the 3D metadata corresponding to the sample point to the 3D metadata. The data is transmitted to the generation / editing unit 19. Then, the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 temporarily stores the movement amount of the received 3D metadata, and transfers a movement request indicating the movement amount to the motion expression information generation unit 17.

  When the movement expression information generation unit 17 receives the movement request, the movement expression indicated by the movement request is detected, and the movement trajectory at the moved sample point in the display trajectory of the 3D metadata is detected by the detected movement amount. The recalculation process of the display trajectory information to be changed is performed (step S908). Here, the moving amount is indicated by each moving amount of (x, y, z) in the virtual space of the 3D moving image. Therefore, the motion expression information generation unit 17 specifies display trajectory information from the ID of the 3D metadata indicated by the movement request, and among the sample points indicated by the display trajectory information, the display position of the moved sample point is determined. Then, each coefficient of the mathematical expression representing the display trajectory is calculated, and the display trajectory information indicating the calculated coefficient is stored in association with the 3D metadata ID as new display trajectory information (step S909). The motion expression information generation unit 17 calculates the display position of the 3D metadata at the current elapsed time from the reproduction start time based on the new display trajectory information after recalculation (step S910). By receiving the notification, the reproduction processing unit 16 composites and displays the 3D metadata of the new display locus on the 3D moving image (step S911). In addition, the motion expression information generation unit 17 transmits new display trajectory information after recalculation to the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19. When the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 receives a notification of editing completion from the spatial mouse control unit 12 via the sample point generation unit 18 (for example, the 3D metadata generation / editing unit 19 selected by the user operating the spatial mouse 11). This event is notified to the spatial mouse control unit 12 by clicking on the 3D moving image other than the data), and the new display trajectory information after the recalculation is associated with the ID of the selected 3D metadata. It records in the sample point information table in metadata DB14 (step S912).

As described above, the embodiment of the present invention has been described. According to the above-described processing, 3D metadata to be synthesized and displayed on a 3D moving image can be easily created using a space mouse (up, down, left, and right of the space mouse in space). This can be done only by moving back and forth.
In addition, according to the present invention, at the time of creating 3D metadata, not all the positions on the 3D moving image designated by the spatial mouse are held as 3D metadata display trajectory information, and only a plurality of discrete sample points are stored. Is stored as trajectory information, so that data to be stored can be reduced.
In addition, according to the present invention, editing of the display trajectory of 3D metadata can be performed by an easy operation using a space mouse (only movement of the space mouse up and down, left and right and back and forth in space).
Further, according to the present invention, when a user selects a display track when editing a display track of 3D metadata, the 3D metadata is selected within a certain range without directly specifying the 3D metadata. Therefore, it is possible to easily select 3D metadata for editing.
In addition, a fixed template, a moving speed and a moving direction of each 3D metadata display trajectory can be stored as motion expression information, so that the 3D metadata displayed in the 3D moving image is searched. When the function is provided, it is possible to perform processing for searching for 3D metadata displayed on the 3D moving image by designating the template, the moving speed, and the moving direction as the data to be searched. Become.
Further, according to the present invention, when the user edits the 3D metadata displayed at the time of playback of the 3D moving image, the display trajectory after the editing is immediately calculated, and the composite display of the 3D metadata is performed based on the display trajectory. Therefore, 3D metadata can be edited in real time.
Further, according to the present invention, since the display position of the 3D metadata is automatically specified by moving the spatial mouse when the user creates the 3D metadata, the display locus of the 3D metadata is easily input. be able to.
