The present technique relates to a display control device, a display control method, and a program that are capable of making inputtable gesture motions easy to notice. A display control unit causes a display unit to display a gesture motion guide in a first state. When a detecting unit for detecting gesture motions detects a predetermined gesture motion, the display control unit changes the guide corresponding to the detected gesture motion to a second state and then causes the display unit to display the guide. The technique according to this disclosure can be applied to an information processing terminal that includes a display unit, for example.

Display control device, display control method, and program

A communication device includes a communication unit having plural function operation units performing communication with an external device at plural prescribed communication speeds, and a control unit allowing the communication unit to receive a given kind of content data from the external device, estimating an optimum prescribed communication speed in which the power consumption amount becomes smallest from the plural prescribed communication speeds based on a bit rate of the content data, selecting a given function operation unit from the plural function operation units based on the estimated optimum communication speed, allowing the selected function operation unit to receive the given kind of content data at the estimated prescribed communication speed and controlling power consumption to the function operation units other than the function operation unit selected from the plural function operation units to be less than a fixed value.

Data communication device, data communication method and program thereof

Disclosed herein is a portable type content reproducing device for reproducing content data, said portable type content reproducing device including, a radio communication unit, a nonvolatile storage unit, a reproduction processing unit, a connection controlling unit, and a reception controlling unit.
