  • Patent number: 10341727
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to allow for appropriate control of how to present content during presentation of the content. An information processing apparatus obtains content identification information. Storage means stores operation logs each of which includes both the time at which an operation to control presentation of content was performed during presentation of the content and details of the operation. The information processing apparatus retrieves operation logs corresponding to the obtained content identification information from the storage means. Based on the retrieved operation logs, a tendency of operation changes is identified. In accordance with the tendency, the information processing apparatus generates control information for controlling how to present content. The control information includes details of control and a timing of the control. The information processing apparatus provides the control information.

  • Patent number: 9712879
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus obtains the moving image identification information of a moving image, the time at which a specifying operation was performed, and a position specified on a display unit. When an object was specified, the information processing apparatus further obtains object information. The information processing apparatus obtains, from storage means, object information corresponding to all of the following: the obtained moving image identification information; a time being within a predetermined period of time ending at the obtained time; and a position being within a predetermined distance from the obtained position. The information processing apparatus causes information about an object indicated by the obtained object information to be presented to a user.
