Provided are a sound output control apparatus, a sound output control system, a sound output control method, and a program that can appropriately thin out the output of pieces of sound data. A sound data reception section receives a plurality of pieces of sound data transmitted from transmission apparatuses that are different from each other. A selection section selects a portion of the plurality of pieces of sound data on the basis of at least one of a result of a voice activity detection process performed on each of the pieces of sound data or moving averages of volumes of sounds represented by the pieces of sound data. A sound data transmission section outputs the selected portion of the pieces of sound data.

A session management sectionholds respective pieces of identification information of a plurality of members who join a session of an application. An allocation sectionallocates a member to a chat group. A chat management sectionacquires the identification information of each member who belongs to the chat group created in the session, and determines a member who becomes a partner for communicating chat data, for each member.

Information processing device and chatting method

A content image display section displays a content image. A system image display section superimposes a system image on the content image and displays the images in response to a user operation. The system image display section is provided with a chat information display section for displaying information related to a voice chat. A member display section displays members of one voice chat room in which the user stays. A chat list display section displays a list of a plurality of voice chat rooms in which the user stays.

A management server manages an event in which a plurality of users operating different information processing apparatuses share electronic content provided through a network. The management server includes: a communication space control unit that generates a virtual space in which the plurality of users realize communication and that accepts attendance through each information processing apparatus; and an event processing unit that receives an operation of starting to share the electronic content in the virtual space through the information processing apparatus and that carries out a process for starting to share the electronic content.

Event management server, information processing apparatus, information processing system, and event realizing method

Provided is an information processing apparatus including a structure analysis unit that analyses display control data including multiple structural units, in each of which information relating to display control is written, and extracts the structural units included in the display control data, a first structuring unit that generates first structured data for display control by linking, except for a structural unit in which information involving script processing is written, the structural units including at least a structural unit in which information relating to a layout of a display screen is written, among the extracted structural units, a second structuring unit that generates second structured data for display control by linking all of the extracted structural units, and a display control unit that displays a display screen using the first structured data, and, at a stage the second structured data is generated, redisplays the display screen using the second structured data.

Two-stage rendering of web page containing scripts

Provided is a data acquisition method including the steps of selecting a link destination whose display is at least partially located in a region of a display screen corresponding to an operating tool, acquiring, before the link destination is selected, information relating to a layout of a display screen and display control data including at least a structural unit in which the information is written, the display control data and the information existing at the link destination, extracting structural units included in the display control data, in a case the prefetched link destination is selected, generating first structured data by linking the extracted structural units in which information involving script-process isn't written, generating second structured data by linking the extracted structural units, displaying a display screen using the first structured data, and redisplaying, at a stage the second structured data is generated, the display screen using the second structured data.

Information processing apparatus, data acquisition method, and program

Provided is a data acquisition method including the steps of selecting one or more of at least one link destination, acquiring, before the link destination is selected, display control data including at least a structural unit in which information relating to a layout of a display screen is written, the display control data existing at the link destination selected in the previous step, extracting structural units included in the display control data before the prefetched link destination is selected, generating, before the prefetched link destination is selected, first structured data for display control by linking the extracted structural units in which information involving script processing is not written, generating, in a case the prefetched link destination is selected, second structured data for display control by linking the structural units, displaying a display screen using the first structured data, and redisplaying the display screen using the second structured data.
