  • Patent number: 11887631
    Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program capable of providing video and sound in a synchronized state. An information processing device includes a determination unit that determines whether it is content in which sound is delayed with respect to video, and a processing unit that delays the video by a predetermined period and plays the video when the determination unit determines that it is the content in which the sound is delayed with respect to the video. The processing unit delays and plays the video so that the video when a sound source produces the sound is synchronized with the sound. The predetermined period corresponds to a period by which the sound is delayed. The present technology can be applied to an information processing device that processes video.
