Abstract:
1. A display apparatus comprising: a relation score calculation unit configured to calculate a relation score indicating closeness of a relation between characters based on a common appearance relation using segment metadata indicating a segment in a moving image where each of the characters appears; and an object display unit configured to display an object corresponding to each of the characters appearing in the moving image, wherein the object display unit displays a pair of objects corresponding to a pair of characters with a high relation score to be closely positioned to each other, and displays a pair of objects corresponding to a pair of characters with a low relation score to be positioned far from each other, wherein the relation score calculation unit outputs a sum of a first value, a second value and a third value as the relation score using the segment metadata for each pair of characters, the first value being a number of common appearance works where both of characters play a leading role, which is multiplied by a first weight, the second value being a number of common appearance works where one character plays a leading role and the other character plays a supporting role, which is multiplied by a second weight, and the third value being a number of common appearance works where both of characters play a supporting role, which is multiplied by a third weight, wherein the first weight is greater than the second weight, and the second weight is greater than the third weight, and wherein at least one of the relation score calculation unit and the object display unit is implemented via a processor.
