Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a work video editing system, a video editing program, and a recording medium, and more particularly to a work video editing system, a video editing program, and a recording medium for dividing a single work video file into a series of work steps each consisting of a plurality of work steps that have been previously filmed. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, video editing systems have been known that edit pre-recorded long (long duration) video data into a shorter length, and enable the addition of subtitles, wipes, audio, background music, and various other forms of editing as needed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-098752 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-178010 [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 5517532 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned video editing system, like existing video editing, the necessary section of a series of video data is designated as the start and end point, making it the necessary video section, and then other editing (such as captions and background music) is added.

[0005] Therefore, for example, when a series of tasks in a factory or a series of tasks in cooking are being filmed, the tasks are performed continuously, and for training purposes, individuals may wish to view only the series or the necessary parts of the tasks. If the start and end points of the required section were specified, for example, if the end point of the previous section and the start point of the next section were the same, it would be difficult to specify the start and end points, resulting in unnecessarily complicated work.

[0006] On the other hand, when filming a series of work processes as a sample video for educational purposes, etc., if the work can be divided into sections without waste, editing work will not be necessary. However, even if equipment operations or instructions are given to start and stop filming, those parts will remain as unnecessary footage, which can result in the need for some kind of editing work.

[0007] Therefore, the inventors of the present application came to the idea that by filming the series of tasks and specifying only the start position of the work process in the video data, it would be possible to create a sample video divided into each process without having to specify the end position of the process; in other words, by creating a video manual creation tool aimed at easily converting tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge, it would be possible to realize a simple editing process.

[0008] To provide a work video editing system, a video editing program, and a recording medium that can easily divide the entire video data recording a series of work into a plurality of parts for each process, and that can store the divided video data in chronological order. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a work video editing system using a video editing terminal, the work video editing system including: a storage unit that stores one work video file in which a plurality of work processes that have been previously filmed are made into a series of work processes; a playback unit that plays back the work video based on the work video file stored in the storage unit; a display unit that displays a work video editing screen including the work video played back in the playback unit; an operation unit that allows an operator to perform split editing operations for each work process on the work video displayed on the display unit; and a control unit that controls the execution of the storage, playback, and display, as well as the execution of split editing processing in accordance with the split editing operations using the operation unit, wherein the display unit includes a work video display screen unit that is partitioned as part of the work video editing screen and displays the work video; a split work information display screen unit that is partitioned to the side of the work video display screen unit and displays one or more split work information frames; and a split work information display screen unit that is partitioned below the work video display screen unit and displays one or more split work information frames. The control unit is equipped with a level display screen unit that displays the total time frame of the work video and displays, in levels, the playback progress position according to the allocation from the start of playback to the current playback time for the total time frame, and an icon display screen unit that displays a plurality of split editing icons for the operator to use in the split editing operation, wherein the control unit divides the work video each time the operator visually checks the work video and operates a split start position designation icon among the plurality of split editing icons, and at the same time displays a split start position identification icon indicating the split position on the level display screen unit, and when the operator designates a save icon among the plurality of split editing icons to indicate that he has finished splitting the work video, creates manual data that links a plurality of work video files, with each split start designated as a split section, so that they can be identified and played in chronological order, and stores the manual data in the memory unit as a new series of work video files.

[0010] The video editing program of the present invention is a video editing program for causing a video editing terminal equipped with computer functions to execute the following functions: a storage function for storing in a storage unit one work video file in which a plurality of work processes filmed in advance are made into a series of work processes; a playback function for playing back in a playback unit the work video based on the work video file stored in the storage unit; a display function for displaying on a display unit a work video editing screen including the work video played back in the playback unit; an operation function for performing split editing operations on the work video displayed on the display unit for each work process in response to an operation of an operation unit by an operator; and a control function for controlling by a control unit the execution of each of the functions and the execution of the split editing processing in response to the split editing operations using the operation unit, wherein the control unit has a work video display function for displaying the work video in a work video display screen section partitioned as part of the work video editing screen; a divided work information display function for displaying one or more split work information frames in a divided work information display screen section partitioned to the side of the work video display screen section; The present invention is characterized by the fact that it executes a level display function that displays the total time frame of the work video on a level display screen section partitioned below, and displays the playback progress position in levels according to the allocation from the start of playback to the current playback time for the total time frame, and an icon display function that displays a plurality of split editing icons on an icon display screen section for use in the split editing operation by the operator, and executes a split processing of the work video each time the operator operates to specify a split start position specification icon among the plurality of split editing icons while viewing the work video, and at the same time executes a display processing of a split start position identification icon indicating the split position on the level display screen, and further, when the operator operates to specify a save icon among the plurality of split editing icons as having finished splitting the work video, executes a manual data creation processing in which a plurality of work video files, each with a split start specification as a split section, are linked so that they can be identified and played in chronological order, and executes a storage processing in the memory section as a new series of work video files. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] Next, a working video editing system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] In FIG. 1(A), the work video editing system 1 uses a video editing terminal 2 equipped with computer functions such as a personal computer. The video editing terminal 2 can be used as a desktop or laptop personal computer (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as a "PC"), as well as a tablet terminal or a smartphone (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as a "smartphone"). The smartphone may also be a smartphone synchronized with a PC (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as a "PC / s-synchronized smartphone").

[0015] The video editing terminal 2 comprises a communication unit 4 that enables communication with the cloud 3 via a telecommunications line, a memory unit 5 that stores an operating system (hereinafter simply referred to as "OS") and various applications (hereinafter simply referred to as "apps"), an operation unit 6 such as a keyboard, mouse, and touch panel (not shown), a playback unit 7 that plays videos, a display unit 8 that displays the played videos, and a control unit 9 that controls the communication unit 4, memory unit 5, operation unit 6, playback unit 7, and display unit 8 in accordance with the OS and app programs stored in the memory unit 5.

[0016] The cloud 3 stores a work video file in which a plurality of work processes that have been filmed in advance are organized into a series of work processes.

[0017] The communication unit 4 is configured to download one work video file selected by the operator by operating the operation unit 6 from the work video files stored in the cloud 3 via an electric communication line.

[0018] The storage unit 5 is configured to store one work video file downloaded from the cloud 3 via the communication unit 4. The storage unit 5 includes a ROM-type storage unit that stores the OS and the like, and a RAM-type storage unit that stores the work video file and the like, and can also use the cloud 3 or a portable memory (such as a USB memory or an SD card memory). Therefore, the control unit 9 executes a storage function for storing one work video file, which is a series of work steps that have been previously filmed, in the storage unit 5, using these various storage media as the target.

[0019] Note that the use of the cloud 3 is not essential, and for example, a work video file of a work video taken with a video camera (not shown) may be copied (or moved) to the storage unit 5 of the video editing terminal 2. Similarly, if the work video terminal 2 is a smartphone or tablet terminal, the work, etc. may be filmed using its filming function, and the work video file may be used as is.

[0020] The playback unit 7 plays back the work video based on the work video file stored in the storage unit 5. The display unit 8 displays the work video played back by the playback unit 7 on a screen.

[0021] The operation unit 6 has a function that allows the operator to divide and edit the work video displayed on the display unit 8 into work processes, and may include a keyboard, mouse, and touch panel (not shown) as appropriate depending on the type of video editing terminal 2, etc.

[0022] The control unit 9 controls the communication unit 4, memory unit 5, operation unit 6, playback unit 7, and display unit 8 in accordance with the OS and application programs stored in the memory unit 5, and also controls these in accordance with the video editing program according to this embodiment. Therefore, an application for using the video editing program is installed in advance in the memory unit 5, and the control unit 9 controls the execution of storage, playback, and display, as well as the execution of split editing processing in accordance with split editing operations using the operation unit 6.

[0023] On the other hand, it is preferable to use a liquid crystal display panel including a touch panel system for the display unit 8. Also, the display screen 80 of the display unit 8 can be switched between a working video editing screen shown in Fig. 1(B) and a title input screen shown in Fig. 1(C).

[0024] The work video editing screen shown in FIG. 1(B) comprises a work video display screen section 81 which is partitioned as part thereof and displays the work video, a divided work information display screen section 82 which is partitioned to the side of the work video display screen section 81 and displays one or more divided work information frames 82a, 82b, etc., a level display screen section 83 which is partitioned below the work video display screen section 81 and displays a total time frame 83a of the work video and displays, in levels, the playback progress position according to the allocation from the start of playback to the current playback time for the total time frame 83a, and an icon display screen section 84 which displays a plurality of divided editing icons (described later) used for divided editing operations by the operator.

[0025] The divided work information frames 82a, 82b, etc. are increased each time the operator performs an operation to specify the start of division, as will be described in detail later.

[0026] The topmost divided task information frame 82a is displayed even before the division start specification is executed. In this divided task information frame 82a, in addition to the start time of the video that is the target of the frame, i.e., the video playback time ("00:00") 85a, and the task title (for example, a temporary title "1st Step") 85b, an exclusion designation icon 85c that designates that the task video file (data) for the target section of the frame will not be subject to the creation of manual data (described later) until the next division start specification is executed, and a title input icon 85d that switches to a title input screen to change the task title are displayed.

[0027] The next (or subsequent) divided task information frame 82b (divided task information frames 82c to 82h shown in Figures 2 to 5) displays the video playback time 85a of the section, the task title 85b, an exclusion designation icon 85c, a title input icon 85d, and a cancel icon 85e for canceling the division start designation.

[0028] In addition, if the number of divided sections increases and the number of displayed divided work information frames 82a, 82b, etc. increases, and there are divided work information frames 82a, 82b, etc. that cannot all fit within the display area of ​​the divided work information display screen section 82 (or immediately before that), a vertical scroll bar 82j is displayed to move the display area as necessary (see Figures 3 to 5).

[0029] The icon display screen section 84 is arranged at an appropriate position on the work moving image editing screen as a plurality of split editing icons to be used for split editing operations by the operator. Here, it includes a full screen display icon 84a for switching the work moving image display screen section 81 to a full screen display, a save icon 84b, a temporary save icon 84c, a split start position designation icon 84d, a playback progress time / total time display icon 84e, a forward icon 84f, a backward icon 84g, a playback speed up icon 84h, a playback speed down icon 84i, a playback speed display icon 84j, a play / stop designation icon 84k, a screen rotation icon 84m, and a split start position identification icon 84n.

[0030] In the following explanation, the designation operation of the various icons, etc. by the operator can include using a mouse as the operation unit 6, positioning the mouse pointer 86 (shown only in Figures 1(b) and 4) and clicking the mouse, as well as tapping on a touch panel screen, but for convenience, the following explanation will be based on the case where a mouse is used. Similarly, in the case of character input, etc., the following explanation will be based on the case where a keyboard is used as the operation unit 6. Furthermore, in the following explanation, it will be simply expressed as "designation operation by (or 'by') the operator" and "input operation by (or 'by') the operator" being executed, and expressions such as the operation unit 6 and its specific devices and methods will be omitted unless particularly necessary. Furthermore, when at least one of the "designation operation" and "input operation" by the operator is included, they may be collectively referred to as "editing operation."

[0031] When the full screen icon 84a is switched to full screen display by a designation operation by the operator, a reduced screen display icon (not shown) is displayed, making it possible to switch.

[0032] The save icon 84b is selected by the operator when the work of dividing a series of work video files is completed, and manual data is created that can be used for each divided video as a series of work videos, and the file is then stored in the memory unit 5.

[0033] The temporary save icon 84c is selected by the operator when, for example, a work related to dividing a series of work video files is in progress, and the operator creates a temporary save work video file of that state and then stores the file in the memory unit 5.

[0034] The division start position designation icon 84d is designated by the operator when the operator, while viewing the work video, determines that the next work is about to start.

[0035] The playback progress time / total time display icon 84e displays the progress time of the currently playing video as a percentage of the total video time (number). By providing an icon function, for example, the operator can input the progress time (number input) or use the mouse wheel roll function to skip to the specified time in playback.

[0036] The skip forward icon 84f is designated by the operator when skipping forward the playback time of the currently playing video by a predetermined time (for example, one second).

[0037] The rewind icon 84g is designated by the operator when rewinding the playback time of the currently played video by a predetermined time (for example, one second).

[0038] The playback speed up icon 84h is designated by the operator each time the playback speed (normal speed as standard) is to be increased by, for example, 0.5 times (for example, up to 8 times faster).

[0039] The playback speed DOWN icon 84i is designated by the operator each time the playback speed (normal speed as standard) is to be slowed down by, for example, 0.25 times (for example, up to 0.25 times).

[0040] The playback speed display icon 84j displays the playback speed of the video currently being played. By providing an icon function, for example, the playback speed can be changed to a specified speed by the operator inputting a number or by using the mouse wheel roll function.

[0041] The play / stop designation icon 84k is displayed as a triangle mark (see Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 5) while the video is playing, and as a two-vertical line mark (see Figure 4) while the video is stopped.

[0042] The screen rotation icon 84m rotates the video currently displayed on the work video display screen section 81 by 90 degrees clockwise, for example, to landscape or portrait orientation as shown in the illustration, and is specified and operated by the operator each time (a total of four times to return to the original orientation).

[0043] The division start position identification icon 84n is displayed so as to overlap with the total time frame 83a so that the position can be recognized each time the division start position designation icon 84d is designated by the operator, and has an icon function that can be designated by the operator when changing the division start position, etc., as will be described later.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 1(C), when the display screen 80 of the display unit 8 is the title input screen, the screen displays a text input box 86a for the work title, an OK icon 86b that is designated by the operator when input is complete, and a Cancel icon 86c that is designated by the operator when input is canceled (which effectively cancels the start designation).

[0045] When the operator operates the division start position designation icon 84d, the title input screen switches to a new screen after the division start position identification icon 84n is additionally displayed and playback of the video is stopped (hereinafter, this stopped state is also referred to as "playback stopped"). Also, when the operator operates the title input icon 85d, playback is stopped and the screen is switched to a new screen.

[0046] As a result, the control unit 9 controls the playback unit 7 and the display unit 8 so that the operator divides the work video each time the division start position designation icon 84d among the multiple division editing icons is designated and operated while viewing the work video, and at the same time displays the division start position identification icon 84n indicating the division position on the level display screen unit 83.

[0047] Furthermore, when the operator selects the save icon 84b from among the multiple split editing icons to indicate that split editing of the work video has been completed, the control unit 9 creates manual data that links multiple work video files, with each split start specified as a split section, so that they can be identified and played back in chronological order, and controls the data to be stored in the memory unit 5 as a new series of work video files.

[0048] Next, an example of division editing operation by an operator will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0049] First, when the operator designates a work moving image file to be subjected to the division editing operation, the reproduction of the target moving image begins in the current work moving image display screen section 81 .

[0050] In this case, immediately after the video starts playing, footage is often captured of the preparation stages from the start of filming (pressing the filming button) to the start of the actual work, and this footage is often not necessary even for use as a video in a work manual.

[0051] 1(B), a divided task information frame 82a is displayed from the start of playback on the divided task information display screen section 82. Here, the video playback time 85a shows the time "00:00" and the task title 85b shows the provisional title "1st Step."

[0052] Although this section (the video section up to when the first division start position designation icon 84d is subsequently designated) is often deemed unnecessary, the non-target designation icon 85c and title input icon 85d are available so that the operator can select whether or not to include this section as a necessary video.

[0053] On the other hand, in this divided task information frame 82a, since the video playback time 85a is "00:00", the cancel icon 85e for canceling the division start designation is not displayed because there is no possibility of it being used.

[0054] When the operator operates the division start position designation icon 84d to designate the start of the playback, the icon 84d is displayed at a position that overlaps with the total time frame 83a and coincides with the time of the operation, and the display screen 80 is switched to a title input screen, as shown in Fig. 1(C). Note that the stop of playback and the display of the division start position designation icon 84d are not necessarily visible to the naked eye, because the control unit 9 switches to the title input screen at approximately the same time.

[0055] Next, the operator inputs the work title (for example, "pick up the tool") using the operation unit 6 such as a keyboard, and then specifies the OK icon 86b, which returns to the display state shown in FIG. 1(B).

[0056] In addition to a divided task information frame 82a, a divided task information frame 82b is displayed below it on the divided task information display screen section 82. Here, the video playback time 85a in the divided task information frame 82b displays the time "00:13", and the task title 85b displays the title "Pick up tools". When the operator selects the OK icon 86b, the screen switches to a task video editing screen, and as for video playback, playback can be resumed (display switched to a triangle mark) by selecting the two vertical lines mark of the play / stop designation icon 84k, or playback can be started simultaneously with the screen switch.

[0057] Thereafter, the operator repeats the division operation as appropriate while playing back the video, and each time, as shown in Figure 2, a division start position identification icon 84n is additionally displayed in sequence, and division work information frames 82c, 82d, etc. are additionally displayed in the lower row.

[0058] Then, when you have watched the video to the end and finished specifying the start position, for example, as shown in Figure 3, in the final part of the video, the section from the end of the actual work to the end of recording (pressing the recording button) is often not necessary as a manual video, just like the beginning part of the video.

[0059] Therefore, the operator inputs text to identify the unnecessary section, for example, "unnecessary portion," instead of the work content.

[0060] Therefore, the operator can exclude this section from the target of the manual video of the divided work by specifying the exclusion icon 85c of the divided work information frame 82g for that section. Similarly, the operator can exclude this section from the target of the manual video of the divided work by specifying the exclusion icon 85c of the divided work information frame 82a.

[0061] When the non-target designation icon 85c is selected, the display state (background) of the target divided task information frame 82a or 82g can be switched to a darker state than the other frames.

[0062] Furthermore, if you want to play any of the multiple divided sections, as shown in Figure 4, you can start playing that section by specifying the frame corresponding to that section, such as the division work information frame 82g or the corresponding division start position identification icon 84n.

[0063] To make it easier to recognize which task the section being played back corresponds to, it is possible to display the frames of the division task information frame 82g and the division start position identification icon 84n thicker than the other frames, to change the color of the frame from the other frames, to flash the frame, etc. Furthermore, the level display screen section 83 can also display the level of only the specified section.

[0064] It is also possible to specify or change the playback position by operating the mouse to point the mouse pointer 86 to the level display screen section 83 and then clicking or dragging it.

[0065] During this playback, if the operator operates the division start position designation icon 84d, this section is divided again.

[0066] This makes it possible to execute the division operations such as the text input described above, and as shown in FIG. 5, a new divided task information frame 82h can be added between the divided task information frame 82d and the divided task information frame 82e.

[0067] Then, when these split editing operations (and split re-editing operations) are completed, the operator can select the save icon 84b to create manual data that links the split multiple working video files so that they can be identified and played back in chronological order.

[0068] Next, an example of control by the control unit 9 in the above-mentioned division editing work will be described based on the flow diagram in Fig. 6. In the description of each step, an operation by the operator will be described as a trigger for simply determining whether or not an icon has been designated, except in the case of a text input operation. Also, the objects controlled by the control unit 9 shown below are merely examples of the main objects, and are not intended to be limited to the objects of control.

[0069] (Step S1) In step S1, the control unit 9, in response to the operator's operation of the operation unit 6, for example, controls the communication unit 4 to download the target video from the cloud 3 and store the work video file in the memory unit 5, and then proceeds to step S2.

[0070] (Step S2) In step S2, the control unit 9 controls the playback unit 7 and the display unit 8 to execute the icon display function of displaying a plurality of split editing icons (icons 84a to 84n, etc.) on the icon display screen unit 84 for split editing operations by the operator, and starts playing (and displaying) the work video on the work video display screen unit 81 of the display unit 8, and at the same time, expands the display of the split work information frame 82a, and starts activating the level display and the playback progress time / total time display icon 84e on the level display screen unit 83, and proceeds to step S3.

[0071] (Step S3) In step S3, the control unit 9 determines whether a designation operation of the division start position designation icon 84d has been performed while continuing video playback, etc. If the control unit 9 determines that a designation operation of the division start position designation icon 84d has been performed (Yes), the control unit 9 proceeds to step S4. If the control unit 9 does not determine that a designation operation of the division start position designation icon 84d has been performed (No), the control unit 9 continues the routine of step S3.

[0072] (Step S4) In step S4, the control unit 9 controls the playback unit 7 to stop playback of the video, and at the same time controls the display unit 8 to switch the display of the play / stop designation icon 84k from a triangle mark to a vertical two-line mark and display the division start position identification icon 84n, and then proceeds to step S5.

[0073] (Step S5) In step S5, the control unit 9 controls the display unit 8 to switch the display on the display screen 80 from the work video editing screen to the title input screen, and then the process proceeds to step S6.

[0074] (Step S6) In step S6, the control unit 9 determines whether the Cancel icon 86c has been specified, regardless of whether there has been input in the text input box 86a. If the control unit 9 determines that the Cancel icon 86c has been specified (Yes), the control unit 9 proceeds to step S7. If the control unit 9 does not determine that the Cancel icon 86c has been specified (No), the control unit 9 proceeds to step S8.

[0075] (Step S7) In step S7, the control unit 9 controls the display unit 8 to erase any text input in the text input frame 86a, and then switches the display on the display screen 80 from the title input screen to the work video editing screen again. At the same time, the control unit 9 controls the display unit 8 to erase the display of the division start position identification icon 84n and the division work information frame 82 (an arbitrary frame according to timing), and then controls the playback unit 7 to resume video playback, and the process loops to step S3.

[0076] (Step S8) In step S8, the control unit 9 determines whether the OK icon 86b has been specified. If the control unit 9 determines that the OK icon 86b has been specified (Yes), the control unit 9 proceeds to step S9. If the control unit 9 does not determine that the OK icon 86b has been specified (No), the control unit 9 continues to monitor this routine (waiting for text input).

[0077] (Step S9) In step S9, the control unit 9 controls the display unit 8 to display the entered work title text (or leave it blank if no input is made) in the divided work information frame 82 (any frame depending on the timing), and controls the playback unit 7 to resume (or wait for) video playback, and proceeds to step S10.

[0078] (Step S10) In step S10, the control unit 9 determines whether the playback of the video has ended. If the control unit 9 determines that the playback of the video has ended (Yes), it controls the playback unit 7 to stop the playback of the video, and proceeds to step S11. If the control unit 9 does not determine that the playback of the video has ended (No), it controls the playback unit 7 to continue playing the video and continues monitoring this routine.

[0079] (Step S11) In step S11, the control unit 9 determines whether an editing operation has been performed by some kind of icon designation operation, etc. If the control unit 9 determines that an editing operation has been performed by some kind of icon designation operation, etc. (Yes), the control unit 9 proceeds to step S12. If the control unit 9 does not determine that an editing operation has been performed by some kind of icon designation operation, etc. (No), the control unit 9 proceeds to step S13.

[0080] (Step S12) In step S12, since some icon designation operation or the like was performed in step S11, the control unit 9 allows the execution of the editing operation and controls the playback unit 7, display unit 8, etc., and then loops to step S9.

[0081] In addition, the editing operations performed by the operator here include, for example, operating the operation unit 6 to treat the specified division start positions before and after as one division section, changing the division start position of the division section (for example, moving the division start position identification icon 84n, etc.) or deleting (specifying the cancel icon 85e), re-dividing the division section (specifying an additional division start position identification icon 84n, etc.), deleting the division start section (specifying the non-target designation icon 85c) or deleting either of the sections after re-division (specifying the non-target designation icon 85c), changing the work title, temporarily saving (specifying the temporary save icon 84c), etc.

[0082] (Step S13) In step S13, the control unit 9 determines whether the save icon 84b has been specified. If the control unit 9 determines that the save icon 84b has been specified (Yes), the control unit 9 proceeds to step S14. If the control unit 9 does not determine that the save icon 84b has been specified (No), the control unit 9 loops back to step S11 and monitors this routine.

[0083] (Step S14) In step S14, the control unit 9 creates manual data that links multiple work video files, with each division start specified as a division section, so that they can be identified and played back in chronological order, and controls the data to be stored in the memory unit 5 as a new series of work video files, and then ends this routine.

[0084] In this way, the control unit 9 causes the video editing terminal 2 equipped with computer functions to perform, for example, a storage function for storing in the memory unit 5 a single work video file in which multiple work processes that have been previously filmed are organized into a series of work processes, according to a video editing program stored in the memory unit 5; a playback function (steps S2, S9, etc.) for playing back the work video in the playback unit 7 based on the work video file stored in the memory unit 5; a display function (steps S2, S9, etc.) for displaying on the display unit 8 a work video editing screen including the work video played back by the playback unit 7; an operation function (steps S3, S11, etc.) for performing split editing operations on the work video displayed on the display unit 8 for each work process in accordance with operation of the operation unit 6 by the operator; and a control function (steps S5, S8, etc.) for controlling the execution of each function and the execution of split editing operations in accordance with the split editing operations using the operation unit 6 using the control unit 9.

[0085] Furthermore, the control unit 9 may, for example, execute the following in accordance with the video editing program stored in the storage unit 5: The system executes a work video display function (step S2, etc.) for displaying a work video on a work video display screen section 81 defined as a part of the work video editing screen, a divided work information display function (step S9) for displaying one or more divided work information frames 82a, 82b, etc. on a divided work information display screen section 82 defined on the side of the work video display screen section 81, a level display function (step S2, etc.) for displaying a total time frame 83a of the work video on a level display screen section 83 defined below the work video display screen section 81 and displaying, in levels, the playback progress position according to the allocation from the start of playback to the current playback time for the total time frame 83a, and an icon display function (step S2, etc.) for displaying, on an icon display screen section 84, a plurality of divided editing icons to be used for divided editing operations by the operator.

[0086] Furthermore, the control unit 9 performs a division process on the work video each time the operator performs a designation operation on the division start position designation icon 84d among the multiple division editing icons while viewing the work video (Yes in step S3), and at the same time performs a display process on the level display screen unit 83 of the division start position identification icon 84n indicating the division position (step S4).Furthermore, when the operator designates the save icon 84b among the multiple division editing icons, denoting that he has finished dividing the work video, the control unit 9 performs a process to create manual data that links multiple work video files, each with the division start designation as a division section, so that they can be identified and played in chronological order (step S14), and performs a storage process in the memory unit 5 as a new series of work video files (step S14).

[0087] On the other hand, the new series of work video files converted into manual data in this way can be played back on a smartphone 90 or the like shown in Figure 7.

[0088] The display screen 91 of the smartphone 90 displays a work video display screen section 92, a level display screen section 93 including a total time frame 93a of the work video, divided task information frames 94a, 94b, 94e for each divided task in chronological order required for manualization, and a minute number 95 for identifying the playback duration of the entire process selected for playback.

[0089] Therefore, the worker can play back the desired video by simply selecting and specifying the work process he or she wants to play back from the divided work information frames 94a, 94b, . . . 94e.

[0090] As described above, the work video editing system 1 according to this embodiment is characterized in that it does not require the effort of specifying the division start point and division end point for a required section of a series of video data, as is required when using existing video editing software.

[0091] That is, by providing a video editing function specialized for dividing work processes, the operator can play back the video, specify division points by icon designation operation at the start timing of each work process (work division timing), and input the corresponding work title. Then, after completing a series of division operations, the operator can complete the video manual divided into each work process simply by designating the save icon 84b.

[0092] Therefore, because the video is divided into each work process and a title is assigned to each work, it does not take time to obtain the information when reviewing. Also, by making it possible to automatically repeat the video of each work process, the user can minimize operations such as video playback while actually working, and can efficiently watch the work video while working.

[0093] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the spirit and technical concept of the present invention. Such modifications will be described below.

[0094] (1) Editing unnecessary sections is included during playback Generally, when a series of work processes are filmed as a sample video for educational purposes, etc., if the work can be performed efficiently, it is possible to create a sample video by dividing it into each work process by specifying only the start position of the work process, without specifying the end position of the work process.

[0095] On the other hand, there are also cases where unnecessary parts of a work process are unexpectedly photographed, for example, when the wrong materials (tools, parts, ingredients, etc.) are used in a work process and are replaced with the correct materials.

[0096] Similarly, there may be cases where the repetition of multiple identical or similar work processes, such as the same task on four tires or similar tasks such as removing the scales from both sides of a fish, would like to omit (or become unnecessary) tasks such as removing three tires or removing the scales from one side of a fish without creating a manual.

[0097] Therefore, if such unnecessary portions are known in advance, it is undesirable for them to remain at the end of the previous work process or before the start of the next work process.

[0098] Therefore, by specifying the start position of such an unnecessary part (unnecessary section) in the same way as specifying a normal division start position, the section up to the start position of the part that you want to keep as the video of the next work process can be set as an unnecessary section in advance.

[0099] (2) Automatic deletion of unnecessary sections When entering a title on the title input screen, in the case of an unnecessary section, the operator is required to enter text such as "delete," "unnecessary," or "unnecessary" in the title field so that the operator can identify which section is unnecessary. Therefore, when such text indicating unnecessary is entered, the character recognition function of the control unit may be configured to accept it as a delete command for that section. This makes it possible to automatically mark that section as a deletion target without having to specify the non-target designation icon 85c for that section.

[0100] (3) Interrupt operation In the above-described division editing operation, the operation of designating the temporary save icon 84c, the non-target designation icon 85c, the title input icon 85d, and the cancel icon 85e by the operator may be used as an interrupt division editing operation during playback.

[0101] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it goes without saying that the scope of the technical concept of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein. It is clear that a person skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can conceive of various changes, modifications, combinations, etc. within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention as defined in the claims. Therefore, such changes, modifications, combinations, etc., naturally fall within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention.
