Abstract
A content display-playback system includes a content providing apparatus, a content display-playback apparatus, and an operation control apparatus for controlling the apparatuses. On the basis of operation control by the control apparatus, content is transmitted from the providing apparatus to the display-playback apparatus for display and playback through a network. The control apparatus includes an input operation receiving unit for receiving an operation input, a control signal generating unit for generating a control signal for transmitting and receiving the content among the providing, display-playback, and control apparatuses in response to the operation input, and a storage unit for storing selection-history information. When the receiving unit receives an operation input for transmitting the content from the providing apparatus to the display-playback apparatus, the generating unit generates a control signal for selecting a display-playback apparatus on the basis of the selection-history information and transmitting the content to the selected display-playback apparatus.
