ABSTRACT:
An aspect of the invention provides a commercial detection apparatus for detecting commercials that includes a silent detector configured to detect a silent segment based on the strength of the audio signal output in content, and a determination unit configured to determine a sound segment as a commercial if three or more silent segments are detected essentially within a set time span, and if the sound segment is found between two of the three silent segments.
