Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an aspect of the present technology performs a search for a recorded program and a program to be provided later to acquire a first search result in a case where a character string indicating content of an utterance of a user does not include a predetermined character string indicating the setting of the schedule recording of the program to be provided later and performs a search for the program to be provided later to acquire a second search result in a case where the character string includes the predetermined character string. In a case where a program whose schedule recording is to be set is selected from a display screen of the second search result, the information processing apparatus sets the schedule recording of the selected program without displaying a detail screen.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing device including: a detection unit configured to detect a position of a manipulating object, and a display control unit configured to cause a menu to be displayed on a screen according to the position of the manipulating object detected by the detection unit. The display control unit causes, when the detection unit detects that the manipulating object is positioned on a first icon serving as a base point, one or more second icons corresponding to a main menu to be opened and displayed, and causes, when the detection unit detects that the manipulating object is positioned on one of the second icons, one or more third icons corresponding to a sub-menu subordinate to the main menu to be opened in a direction orthogonal to an opening direction of the second icons and displayed by using the selected second icon as a base point.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus receives a user selection of content to be reproduced by an external device connected to the information processing apparatus. A request to reproduce the user selected content is sent to the external device. Information indicating whether the external device has started reproducing the selected content is received from the external device. In response to the external device having started reproduction of the selected content, a thumbnail image is reproduced that corresponds to the content being reproduced by the external device.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a content information acquisition unit that acquires content related information related to content data managed by a content management server from the content management server managing the content data, a selection unit that selects content from a content list which is a list of the content based on the content related information, and an externally connected device control unit that notifies, when the selected content is executed by an externally connected device connected externally, the externally connected device of location information of content data corresponding to the selected content and acquires reproduction state information representing a reproduction state of content when the externally connected device reproduces the selected content from the externally connected device.

Abstract: A device and method is provided to enable improved control of streaming live delivery and recording processing as to a client from a server of tuner-received content. This is configured such that a tuner control instance which executes streaming delivery of the tuner-received content under the control of the tuner, and a storage unit control instance which executes recording of the tuner-received content under the control of the content storage unit such as a hard disk, are independently set, and to each a channel list URL and video capsule URL are set as the content URL capable of specifying the processing control object, and requests can be received from the client individually by setting a control instance ID which is a control instance (AVT instance) identifier. By this configuration, independent processing according to the client request is enabled.

Abstract: Disclosed is an information providing system which comprises: an information providing apparatus with elements for receiving a TV program, generating image data and sound data representing a received TV program, and transmitting the image data and sound data; and an information processing apparatus with connecting information set to specify whether or not to establish connection with the information providing apparatus, and a storing element for storing the name of the information providing apparatus. If the connecting information is judged set to establish connection, then the information processing apparatus establishes connection with the information providing apparatus based on the stored name of the latter, so that the image data and sound data are received by the information processing apparatus from the information providing apparatus.
