Abstract: A reproducing apparatus is disclosed. The reproducing apparatus includes a reproducing section, a notifying section, and a notification controlling section. The reproducing section reproduces content data. The notifying section notifies a user that there are content data correlated with content data reproduced by the reproducing section. The notification controlling section determines whether content data correlated with content data reproduced by the reproducing section have been retrieved and controls the notifying section to notify the user that there are the correlated content data when the correlated content data have been retrieved.

Abstract: There is provided a content selection view in which the user can select a content intuitively and easily. When the user places a touch pen in touch with a touch panel in a position corresponding to a position P1 in a map and drags the touch pen along a locus to a position P2 with the touch pen being kept in touch with the touch panel, PD will judge that a grid is still an option. Thereafter, when the user takes the touch pen off the touch panel surface, the PD will select the grid corresponding to the position P2 where the touch pen has finally been in touch with the touch panel. The PD will output not only content data assigned to the selected grid but a sound corresponding to predetermined content data even while the grid is still an option. The present invention is applicable to a portable recorder/player.

Abstract: An apparatus and method provide logic for processing information. In one implementation, a method may obtain metadata associated with corresponding values of a first characteristic and a second characteristic of a plurality of content elements. A display including a plurality of display elements may be generated, and the content elements may be assigned to corresponding ones of the display elements, based on a comparison between first and second characteristic values and first and second characteristic value ranges. A first signal may be generated to display a representation of the display to a user, and a selection of a display element may be received from the user. The method may obtain a content element assigned to the selected display element.

Abstract: An electronic device, data processing method, data control method, and content data processing system enabling a user to search for a track reproduced in the past, but with a forgotten title name and an artist name. A CPU displays on an LCD panel a reproduction history screen displaying a number of tracks reproduced that day on a calendar. By a user operation via an input device, the CPU switches the reproduction history screen to another reproduction history screen displaying a list of tracks reproduced on a certain other day as the reproduction history list. It reproduces the track selected by the user and allows editing of its attribute.

Abstract: When a PC 10 connects to a PD 20, the PC 10 decides whether or not the PD 20 holds a group ID and if the PC 10 decides PD 20 holds the group ID, PC 10 decides whether or not the group ID held in the PC 10 and the group ID held in the PD 20 coincide with each other. If the both IDs are not decided that they don't coincide with each other, the PC 10 acquires a device ID corresponding to PD 20 from PD 20 and transfers the device ID and a terminal ID of the PC 10 to a server apparatus 32. Then the PC 10 receives, from the server apparatus 32, a user link completion information representative that an association between first user ID corresponding to the terminal ID and second user ID corresponding to the device ID is completed.
