Patent ID: 8494338

Claim:
An electronic apparatus for editing video content, comprising: a first input means for inputting an image signal and a first audio signal that constitute a first video content; a second input means for inputting a second audio signal different from the first audio signal; a first calculation means for detecting a face image area in which a face of a person is included from the image signal input, and calculating a face evaluation value evaluating a certainty of the face image area detected; a second calculation means for detecting a voice of the person from the first audio signal input, and calculating a voice evaluation value evaluating a volume of the voice detected; a setting means for setting a first weighting factor and a second weighting factor for each image signal based on the face evaluation value and the voice evaluation value that are calculated, the first weighting factor indicating a weight of the first audio signal, the second weighting factor indicating a weight of the second audio signal; and a generation means for generating a third audio signal in which the first audio signal and the second audio signal are mixed, based on the first weighting factor and the second weighting factor that are set, and generating a second video content constituted of the third audio signal and the image signal, in which the second audio signal is background music, and in which the first weighting factor and the second weighting factor are set so as to cause the third audio signal to be generated such that the weight of the background music inserted therein is based upon the face evaluation value and the voice evaluation value so as to provide an effective use of the background music depending upon scenes of the input image signal.
