Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: a first recording/reproduction unit, configured to reproduce or record video/audio information from or to a first recording medium; a second recording/reproduction unit, configured to reproduce or record video/audio information from or to a second recording medium; a dubbing unit, configured to perform a dubbing operation, in which video/audio information is reproduced from the first recording medium, by using the first recording/reproduction unit, and the video/audio information is recorded to the second recording medium, by using the second recording/reproduction unit; an output unit, configured to output video/audio information, reproduced by using the first recording/reproduction unit, to a display unit while the dubbing operation is performed by the dubbing unit; an object condition input unit, configured to receive an instruction specifying a plurality of parameter values, including a name of a particular person and a voice of a particular person, set by a user of an object included in video/audio information recorded on the first recording medium, wherein when the name and voice of the particular person are set by a user, an image representing the particular person and an image representing the voice of the particular person are associated with each other and displayed on the display unit; a control unit, including a Central Processing Unit (CPU), and configured to control the dubbing unit to reproduce video/audio information from the first recording medium, by using the first recording/reproduction unit, based on a plurality of parameter values set by a user and received by the object condition input unit, and to record the video/audio information to the second recording medium, by using the second recording/reproduction unit; and a storage unit, configured to store a reproduction history of video/audio information reproduced from the first recording medium, by using the first recording/reproduction unit, based on a plurality of parameter values, including a name of a particular person and a voice of a particular person, set by a user and received by the object condition input unit, while the dubbing operation is performed by the dubbing unit; wherein an extraction/reproduction operation of a video data is performed by selecting object conditions during a reproduction, and a dubbing operation is performed, based on a reproduction history, which is a history of setting the object conditions regarding video data which have been previously reproduced by the extraction/reproduction operation; wherein while the dubbing operation is performed by the dubbing unit, the control unit is configured to cause the output unit to output occurrence information regarding a non-reproduction object to the display unit, wherein the non-reproduction object is not included in video/audio information output by the output unit but is included in video/audio information recorded on the recording medium; wherein while the dubbing operation is performed by the dubbing unit, the object condition input unit is configured to receive an instruction specifying a plurality of parameter values, including a name of a particular person and a voice of a particular person set by a user including the non-reproduction object; and wherein the control unit is configured to control the dubbing unit to reproduce the video/audio information from the first recording medium, by using the first recording/reproduction unit, and to record the video/audio information to the second recording medium, by using the second recording/reproduction unit, based on the reproduction history stored in the storage unit.
