Abstract: The present invention relates to a content providing system, a receiving apparatus and method, a storage medium, and a program, which enable to perform a variety of contents provisions. An operational terminal 21 can obtain, from a storage terminal 1, contents corresponding to utilization information sent from an operational terminal 11 that is receiving provision of predetermined contents from a storage terminal 1. That is, if a user 23 is interested in contents that a user 13 is watching and listening to on the operational terminal 11, and desires to watch and listen to it, the user 23 can watch and listen to on the operational terminal 21, the contents that the user 13 is watching and listening to, by holding the operational terminal 21 very close to the operational terminal 11, or holding the operational terminal 11 very close to the operational terminal 21.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including a comparison unit for comparing intermediate code converted from a source code of the program being developed with an intermediate code of the program stored in a database in the system development. The information processing apparatus also includes a similarity calculation unit for calculating a similarity between the programs based on a comparison result obtained by the comparison unit. A narrowing-down process is performed for a candidate to be recommended using additional information as occasion demands. The present disclosure can apply to the information processing method.

Abstract: If it is determined in step S51 that allocation for an instruction part has been requested and it is determined in step S52 that a memory use amount of an instruction part of an allocation target program exceeds an upper limit, a memory area that is being used by the instruction part of the allocation target program is released in step S53 and memory allocation for the instruction part is performed in step S54. If it is determined in step S52 that the memory use amount of the instruction part of the allocation target program does not exceed the upper limit, the process in step S53 is skipped. If it is determined in step S51 that allocation for a data part is requested, a normal memory allocation process is performed in step S55. The present disclosure may be applied to, for example, an embedded device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communications apparatus and method, a storage medium and a program that make it possible for the user to select a device to be made a communications partner more quickly and reliably. The searcher device 21 performs a search so as to detect only one device. If the response message from the searchee device 32 is obtained by the searcher device 21, on the display section of the searcher device 21 is displayed a selection screen for selecting whether or not to make the searchee device 32 a communications partner. If the searchee device 32 is not selected as a communications partner, the searcher device 21 performs another search so as to detect two devices.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication system, an information processing apparatus and method which enable communication setting to be performed through easy operations. An access point 11 has communication setting information for allowing wireless communication to be performed between a terminal apparatus 13 and the access point 11. The communication setting information is supplied to a tag 12 through contactless communication at close range between an IC tag reader/writer 21 and the tag (IC card) 12 and stored therein. When the tag 12 is put over an IC tag reader/writer 31 of the terminal apparatus 13, the IC tag reader/writer 31 reads the communication setting information from the tag 12 and stores it. The terminal apparatus 13 performs setting for communicating with the access point 11 based on the stored communication setting information and then performs wireless communication with the access point 11.
