Disclosed herein is a communication system for enabling a first communication apparatus and second communication apparatuses to communicate with one another over a network. The first communication apparatus includes: a detection device; a display control device; a transmission device. The second communication apparatuses includes: a reception device; a notification device; an instruction device; and a registration device.

Communication system, communication apparatus, communication method, and program

Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus that controls reproduction of a plurality of recorded contents recorded when distributed from a predetermined one of a plurality of distribution sources to each of which a predetermined channel is allocated, including reproduction control means for controlling so that, where reproduction starting absolute time indicative of reproduction starting time is designated by a user and besides a reproduction object channel is designated by the user, that one of the recorded contents of the reproduction object channel whose reproduction starting absolute time is included in a recording time zone is reproduced from a position thereof corresponding to the reproduction starting absolute time.

Information processing apparatus and method, and program

A cable apparatus makes a selection between supply of an internal power to a predetermined interface device and that of an external power to the interface device in compliance with the interface standard applied to the predetermined interface device. The cable apparatus includes an internal power terminal connectable to an internal power source, a plurality of external power terminals connectable to an external power source, and a plurality of power lines connected to the internal power terminal and/or external power terminals. A power line selection controller is included to select, when an internal power is supplied from the internal power terminal, one of the power lines that allows a connection of the internal power from the internal power terminal to the plurality of external power terminals and when an external power is supplied from any one of the external power terminals, one of the power lines that allows to connect the external power from the external power terminal to the other external power terminals.
