Claim:
In a video source containing sports, a method of identifying a scene, comprising the steps of: analyzing, in a computer, tonality of at least one frame of audio data of a video source containing sports content, determining whether tonality of the at least one frame indicates that the at least one frame corresponds to an exciting scene of the video source; classifying a scene of the video source corresponding to the at least one frame as an exciting scene if tonality of the at least one frame indicates an exciting scene, assigning a confidence score based on the analyzing result of the tonality of the at least one frame of the audio data, the confidence score corresponding to whether the at least one frame corresponds to an exciting scene of the video source, and creating meta data identifying the exciting scene within the video source, the meta data being created based on the assigned confidence score, wherein the likelihood of classifying a scene of the video source corresponding to the at least one frame as an exciting scene increases as the tonality of the at least one frame approaches tonality of a pure tone.
