Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus that presents a user with a content selection screen including a plurality of types of content as content options and that presents the user with, in the case where one of the content options is selected while the content selection screen is presented, a preview screen including a video which represents a state of a screen watched by another user who is actually using the selected content option.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus determines a target state of a display element after transition, which is displayed on a screen of a display apparatus, according to an operation of a user, and displays a transition moving image that indicates a procedure of change of the display element from the initial state to the determined target state. The transition moving image includes a procedure of change of the display element from the initial state to a first intermediate state and a procedure of change of the display element from a second intermediate state to the target state and does not include a procedure of change of the display element from the first intermediate state to the second intermediate state.

Abstract: Candidates of pieces of notification information determined in advance are acquired, and a list of the acquired candidates of the pieces of notification information is presented to a user at a predetermined timing. Another information processing device is notified of information based on a piece of notification information selected by the user from the list. Here, the predetermined timing described above includes a timing that is prior to execution of a predetermined application.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus that sequentially executes a plurality of information processing steps, includes: a management section that manages the plurality of information processing steps by dividing the plurality of information processing steps into a plurality of processing groups; an information processing section that processes at least some of the plurality of information processing steps included in each of the plurality of processing groups in a selection order according to a predetermined rule, for each of the plurality of processing groups; a group progress image generating section that generates a progress display image representing a progress of processing of the plurality of information processing steps included in each of the plurality of processing groups; and a display control section that outputs and displays a screen in which the generated progress display image for each of the plurality of processing groups is arranged at each predetermined position in one screen.

Abstract: A gaming server and method for generating context-aware gaming information are disclosed, which includes receipt of a view request from a first gaming device associated with a first user, by the gaming server. The view request includes a request to view a gaming profile of a second user. Based on the received view request, one or more circuits of the gaming server detects an entry point event from a plurality of defined entry point events to access the gaming profile of the second user. The one or more circuits are configured to generate context-aware gaming information of the second user based on the detected entry point event on the first gaming device. Further, a display of the generated context-aware gaming information within the gaming profile of the second user may be controlled on the first gaming device, based on the received view request.

Abstract: A streaming data acquisition section acquires streaming data distributed from a server and including an application image, and a streaming data reproduction section reproduces the streaming data. A command input acceptance section accepts a command input to an application inputted by a user. A command transmission section transmits the inputted command. The command is provided to an information processing apparatus of a distributor of the streaming data and is reflected on processing of the application being executed in the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: Various aspects of a gaming server and method are disclosed herein, which includes receipt of a request from a first electronic device of a plurality of electronic devices communicatively coupled to the gaming server. The received request may comprise a request to compare a gaming profile of a first user associated with the first electronic device with one or more other gaming profiles of one or more other users associated with one or more other electronic devices. A customized view is generated based on a parameter-to-parameter comparison. The criteria for the parameter-to-parameter comparison include a plurality of parameters that are dynamically updated based on gameplay activities of the first user on the first electronic device and the one or more other users on the one or more other electronic devices. Display of the generated customized view may be controlled on the first electronic device based on a defined setting.
