An information processing apparatus according to an aspect of the present technology performs a search for a recorded program and a program to be provided later to acquire a first search result in a case where a character string indicating content of an utterance of a user does not include a predetermined character string indicating the setting of the schedule recording of the program to be provided later and performs a search for the program to be provided later to acquire a second search result in a case where the character string includes the predetermined character string. In a case where a program whose schedule recording is to be set is selected from a display screen of the second search result, the information processing apparatus sets the schedule recording of the selected program without displaying a detail screen.

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

An audio and video reproduction apparatus that comprises a memory, a display screen, and circuitry. The memory stores a sequence of image frames of multi-media content and closed caption (CC) information associated with the multi-media content. The circuitry detects a first position of a first object in an image frame, of the sequence of image frames, to be displayed on the display screen. The circuitry further controls, based on a user-input, the display screen to display the image frame in a first display portion of the display screen and display a first portion of the CC information at a second position in a second display portion of the display screen. The first portion of the CC information is displayed at the second position in the second display portion, based on the detected first position of the first object in the image frame.

Audio-video reproduction for closed caption display control based on multi-media content

A display apparatus that comprises a display screen and a set of support portions, is provided. The display apparatus receives a user input that corresponds to a configuration of the display screen and controls motion of the set of support portions based on the received user input. A change in a surface curvature of the display screen is based on the motion of the set of support portions.

Surface curvature control of display screen based on motion of support portions

A display apparatus includes a display screen and circuitry. The circuitry receives a user input that corresponds to a viewing mode of the display screen. The circuitry detects a state of the display screen based on the received user input. The detected state corresponds to one of a rolled state or an unrolled state of the display screen. The circuitry controls a motion of the display screen based on the received user input. The control of the motion corresponds to at least the change in the detected state of the display screen or a change in a swivel angle of the display screen about a swivel axis. The swivel angle corresponds to a rotation of the display screen about the swivel axis.

Display apparatus and method for motion control of a display screen based on a viewing mode

[Object] To provide an operation apparatus capable of achieving an improvement in operability. [Solving Means] This operation apparatus includes: a casing including two surfaces opposed in front and back directions as a first surface and a second surface; a first operation input unit that is provided in the first surface and includes a detector that performs a detection of an operation of a user with respect to a predetermined coordinate detection space on the first surface; a second operation input unit provided in the second surface; a determination unit that determines an attitude of the casing when an operation of the user with respect to the coordinate detection space of the detector is performed from a side of the second surface; and a converter that converts, when the attitude is determined, information detected by the detector into information of a coordinate system of the coordinate detection space seen through from the side of the second surface.

Operation apparatus, information processing method therefor, and information processing apparatus

A data conversion method for an information processing device to execute format conversion processing from AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec high Definition) format to BDAV (Blu-ray Disc Audio Visual) format includes the steps of: performing data input for a data input unit to input AVCHD format data; and performing format conversion for a format converter to select a playback control information file included in the input AVCHD format data, perform format conversion, and generate playback control information according to BDAV format; wherein conversion processing is not performed for a stream file included in the input AVCHD format data, and BDAV format data made up of a converted playback control information file and non-converted stream file is generated.
