  • Patent number: 8462175
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a storing unit that stores first attribute data representing first attributes, which are attributes of content as an object to be played, and second attribute data representing second attributes, which are attributes of the first attributes, in association with each other, and a first display control unit that controls related display for displaying first attributes having the second attributes identical with a selected first attribute of the first attributes as related attributes. The first display control unit controls the related display to display a second attribute of the selected first attribute and display the related attributes by dividing the related attributes for each of the second attributes identical with the selected first attribute.
