Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus comprising: an image extraction hardware module configured to extract a plurality of representative images from a sequence of video content data, and to output time stamp information which is indicative of a time point at which each of the plurality of extracted representative images appears; an image list display process hardware module configured divide the plurality of extracted representative images into a first representative image group appearing in a period from a start position to a predetermined display constraining position of the sequence of video content data and a second representative image group appearing after the display constraining position, to display a list of representative images in the first representative image group on a display area, and to display a list of representative images in the second representative image group on the display area with each of the representative images processed to make the display of each of the representative images difficult to recognize; and a playback hardware module configured to start to play back the video content data from a time point corresponding to a representative image selected by a user from the lists of representative images displayed on the display area, in response to input of a playback request event, wherein the image list display process hardware module is configured to determine whether the video content data is played-back video content data which has been played back or un-played-back video content data which has never been played back, and to display, on the display area, the list of representative images belonging to the second representative image group with each of the representative images processed to make the display of each of the representative images difficult to recognize.
