Abstract

Interruption of the distribution of display information is prevented. A message processing section, in a case where a connection has been established with a server which distributes display information to be displayed on a display device in synchronization with reproduction of content, processes a message from the server for controlling the distribution in accordance with a first protocol. A connection confirmation section confirms whether or not the connection has been established in accordance with a second protocol. A connection request section, in a case where the connection has not been established, requests establishment of the connection to the server in accordance with the second protocol.
