Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for controlling an electronic device by a device controller includes: detecting first movement of the device controller; receiving input of a contact operation performed by a user on a screen of the device controller; and transmitting, to the electronic device to be operated by the device controller, information on an amount of second movement determined by using an amount of the first movement. The amount of the second movement differs depending on a state of contact of the contact operation on the screen during detecting the first movement of the device controller.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a reproduction controller and a transmitter. The reproduction controller is configured to reproduce a first type of information of a first content. The first content includes a plurality of types of information. The transmitter is configured to transmit an instruction to reproduce a second type of information of the first content to other electronic device.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a display which also serves as a touch operation input unit, and a display controller. The display controller includes a standby state output unit and a scroll controller. The standby state output unit displays, on the display, at least one of the images as a first image, and a second image as an array of a plurality of tabs. If the user swipes the display area of the second image, the scroll controller controls the plurality of tabs to scroll while maintaining the first image as a front image.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a content processing system includes: a server device configured to distribute content data via a network; and a content reproducing device configured to reproduce content based on the content data distributed via the network. The server device comprises an acquisition destination allocating module to allocate one acquisition destination of the content data to be distributed to one content reproducing device; and a distribution data switching module to switch the content data to be distributed based on a switching command received. The content reproducing device comprises a content acquisition module to request the content data from the allocated acquisition destination of the content data to acquire the content data; and a switching command transmitter to generate the switching command in switching the content data to be acquired from the acquisition destination of the content data to transmit the switching command to the server device.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a metadata processing apparatus which communicates with a server that holds metadata, the metadata processing apparatus includes a metadata update module configured to update metadata pertaining to content, a transmission module configured to transmit, to the server, content identification data for identifying the content to which the metadata updated by the metadata update module pertains, a reception module configured to receive data transmitted from the server, a determination module configured to determine, on the basis of the data received from the server by the reception module, whether it is necessary to upload the metadata updated by the metadata update module, and a notification module configured to invoke notification that presses upload of the metadata updated by the metadata update module to the server when the determination module has determined that upload is necessary.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processor includes a first location acquisition module, a second location acquisition module, an identifying module, and a transmitter. The first location acquisition module acquires own location information representing the location of the information processor. The second location acquisition module acquires display device location information representing the location of each of display devices capable of displaying data. The identifying module identifies one of the display devices to display the data based on the distance between the information processor and each of the display devices from the display device location information and the own location information. The transmitter transmits a request to display the data to the display device identified by the identifying module.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a video processor includes: a server function module configured to function as a server to provide data through a network; a renderer function module configured to function as a renderer to control displaying of data provided by another server in the network; a memory configured to store therein data that can be provided to the renderer function module; a receiver configured to receive, from an external device, identification information used to identify a server providing corresponding data; a determination module configured to determine whether the server identified by using the identification information is the server of the video processor; and a display controller configured to control displaying of the data stored in the memory if it is determined that the server identified by using the identification information is the server of the video processor.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a metadata processing apparatus which communicates with a server that holds metadata, the metadata processing apparatus includes a metadata update module configured to update metadata pertaining to content, a transmission module configured to transmit, to the server, content identification data for identifying the content to which the metadata updated by the metadata update module pertains, a reception module configured to receive data transmitted from the server, a determination module configured to determine, on the basis of the data received from the server by the reception module, whether it is necessary to upload the metadata updated by the metadata update module, and a notification module configured to invoke notification that presses upload of the metadata updated by the metadata update module to the server when the determination module has determined that upload is necessary.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a program search apparatus includes a communication module, a search module, and an output controller. The communication module is configured to communicate with an external apparatus via a network. The search module is configured to search for a corresponding program corresponding to a designated program designated from a program table via the network. The output controller is configured to execute control to output a search result.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a data transmission control section ends transmission of a title without copyright protection at time t2. When transmission time of the title exceeds prescribed time, interruption of the transmission is posted to a reception-side device, and a key discard/creation section creates a new encryption key. A copyright-protected title is transmitted to the reception-side device by using the new key.

Abstract: A password setting unit of a database system manages a password set by a user in a password management table. A password registration unit registers the set password to data in a data group, and records this registration in a data management table. A password authentication unit determines whether the password inputted by the user matches the password set by the password setting unit, and informs a data list display unit of matching if the passwords match each other. Then, the data list display unit displays a list of the data group with the data to which the passwords match, along with data unassigned with a data group, while data assigned to data groups in which the passwords do not match are concealed from display.
