An information processing apparatus receives a user selection of content to be reproduced by an external device connected to the information processing apparatus. A request to reproduce the user selected content is sent to the external device. Information indicating whether the external device has started reproducing the selected content is received from the external device. In response to the external device having started reproduction of the selected content, a thumbnail image is reproduced that corresponds to the content being reproduced by the external device.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, program and information processing system

Provided is an information processing apparatus including a communication unit and a controller. The communication unit is capable of connecting to, via a fourth network, a first server and a first device existing in a first network, a second server and a second device existing in a second network, and a relay server that exists in a third network and stores connection information with respect to the first server and the second server. The controller is capable of controlling the communication unit to receive the connection information from the relay server and controlling data transmission processing between the first device and the second device via the first server and the second server using the connection information.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus configured to distribute stored content to a client reproducing apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus via a network, which may include acquiring means; real item information generating means; extracting means; virtual item generating means; reproduction sequence list generating means; virtual item information generating means; collecting means; and distributing means.

Information processing apparatus and method and program

An information processing system including, a client capable of receiving and reproducing content from a media server, and a collecting server for receiving content management information on the content from the media server and managing the content management information.

Information processing system, collecting server, information processing method and program

An information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a content information acquisition unit that acquires content related information related to content data managed by a content management server from the content management server managing the content data, a selection unit that selects content from a content list which is a list of the content based on the content related information, and an externally connected device control unit that notifies, when the selected content is executed by an externally connected device connected externally, the externally connected device of location information of content data corresponding to the selected content and acquires reproduction state information representing a reproduction state of content when the externally connected device reproduces the selected content from the externally connected device.

An information processing apparatus includes area image extracting means for extracting, as a telop image, an area displaying a telop in contents, detecting means for detecting a scene change in images of the contents, recording means for converting an image at the time when a scene change is detected by the detecting means to a thumbnail image and recording the thumbnail image, display control means for controlling to arrange and display a plurality of the thumbnail images and a plurality of the telop images chronologically, and playing means for playing the contents from the position corresponding to the selected thumbnail image or telop image.
