The present technology relates to an information processing device, a program, and an information processing system capable of displaying enormous data so as to be easily understood. The information processing device is provided with a data obtaining unit which obtains a predetermined number of data, and an output unit which outputs image control data which controls to display a particle stereoscopic image in which particles corresponding to the data are stereoscopically distributed with a particle size determined according to the number of data of the obtained data. The present technology is applicable to, for example, the information processing device which displays data and the like.

Information processing device, program, and information processing system

An information processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit adapted to acquire preference information representing a user's preference based on an operation given by the user regarding content; a selecting unit adapted to select content and to designate the selected content as an object for copying; and a copying unit adapted to copy the selected content to another information processing apparatus. Further, if the object for copying is copied by the copying unit, the acquiring unit updates the preference information associated with the content of the copied object for copying.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program

A recording control apparatus for controlling the recording of content of broadcast programs includes the following elements. An acquisition unit acquires electronic program guide data concerning the broadcast programs. A detector detects the title of a broadcast program from reserve-recording data indicating a recording reservation of the broadcast program. A calculator calculates the similarity between the title of the broadcast program detected by the detector and the title of the broadcast program indicated in the electronic program guide data acquired by the acquisition unit. A changing unit changes the reserve-recording data by using the electronic program guide data on the basis of the similarity calculated by the calculator.

Recording control apparatus and method, and program

A broadcast program reservation apparatus is disclosed. The broadcast program reservation apparatus may include a reception unit, a reservation unit, and a determination unit. The reception unit may receive a broadcast program and electronic program information. The reservation unit may execute a reserve-recording process of recording the program based on the electronic program information which has been received. The determination unit may determine whether or not a reservation candidate program as a candidate of the program is caused to be reserve-recorded by the reservation unit corresponding to a plurality of broadcast patterns of the program in a predetermined time period.

Broadcast program reservation apparatus, broadcast program reservation method, and program thereof

A recording apparatus is disclosed which records at least either a video or an audio signal of a broadcast program in accordance with reservation information. The recording apparatus includes: an acquisition block configured to acquire program information about the broadcast program; a calculation block configured to calculate a degree of similarity between a program name included in the reservation information and the program name described in the program information acquired by the acquisition block; a changing block configured to change the reservation information using the program information about the broadcast program determined by the degree of similarity, the changing block further changing the reservation information based on the program information about the broadcast program corresponding to program identification information included in the reservation information; and a recording control block configured to record at least either the video or the audio signal of the broadcast program in accordance with the reservation information.

Recording apparatus, recording method, and program

An information processing apparatus includes a content display control section switching contents to be displayed on a display screen, and a related information display control section displaying, during a switching period when a content displayed on the display screen is switched from one content to another content, related information related to the other content, wherein the related information display control section fades out the related information displayed on the display screen at the time of displaying the other content on the display screen.
