ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for automatic dissection of segmented audio signals, wherein at least one information signal for identifying programs included in said audio signals and for identifying contents included in said programs. Content detection device detects programs and contents belonging to the respective programs in the information signal. Program weighting device weights each program includes in the information signal based on the contents of the respective program detected by the content detection device. Program ranking device indentifies programmers of the same category and ranking said programs based on a weighting result for each program provided by the program weighting device.
