Abstract

In a content display-playback system, an operation control apparatus controls operations of a content providing apparatus and display-playback apparatus connected to a network so that content can be transmitted and received among the content providing apparatus, the display-playback apparatus, and the operation control apparatus and that the content can be displayed and played back on the display-playback apparatus and the operation control apparatus. The operation control apparatus includes a storage unit. When a user operates the operation control apparatus to stop playback during playback of content received from the content providing apparatus on the display-playback apparatus or the operation control apparatus, content meta-information concerning the played back content and playback position information of the content being played back when the playback is stopped are stored in the storage unit.
