Abstract: In response to a request from a playback apparatus over a network to play back content, a first recording/playback apparatus transmits data indicating content satisfying the request to the playback apparatus over the network. When selecting desired content from the transmitted data, the playback apparatus requests the first recording/playback apparatus to transmit data of the selected content to the playback apparatus over the network. When the data of the desired content is transmitted to the playback apparatus from the first recording/playback apparatus over the network in response to the request, the content being transmitted is played back via streaming.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus detecting a characteristic amount of a group of contents of a series configured of contents corresponding to episodes, the information processing apparatus including: a first generating means for detecting a characteristic amount in a time series of the contents corresponding to the episodes and generate a characteristic amount in the episode based on a detected result; a computing means for computing a representative value of the generated characteristic amount in the episode; a second generating means for arranging the computed representative values corresponding to the episodes in a time series and generate a characteristic amount in the series indicating a characteristic amount in a time series of the group of the contents of the series; and a database means for storing the generated characteristic amount in the series in a database in association with the group of the contents of the series.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus in the present invention includes a receiving part that receives contents, an input part into which designation information to select desired contents is input from a user, a recording setting information generation part that generates recording setting information of contents to be recorded based on the designation information, an analysis part that analyzes relevance of content of the contents being recorded to be recorded based on the recording setting information to the designation information, and an acquisition part that acquires the desired contents of the user from the recorded contents based on an analysis result by the analysis part.

Abstract: A content usage system includes a recording and playback device and a portable electronic device mutually connected via a network. When the recording and playback device receives a certain command while outputting digital content, that content is converted into transfer content suitable for use with the portable electronic device, and then stored with metadata indicating that the content is transfer content. Using the metadata, the recording and playback device is able to generate and transmit a list of transfer content upon request from the portable electronic device. Using the list, the user of the portable electronic device then selects desired transfer content from the list and sends a transfer content request. In response, the recording and playback device transmits the selected transfer content to the portable electronic device, thereby making the content available for use on the portable electronic device.

Abstract: An information processing device processes content according to an identified category for the content, the category being identified by first extracting characteristic data from the content. An extractor extracts characteristic data from the content. An identifying component identifies a category for the content on the basis of the characteristic data extracted by the extracting means. An executing component executes set processing of the content using a method according to the category identified by the identifying component. In so doing, the optimal content category for the set processing is identified.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an extraction unit configured to extract sequentially in time, keywords from multiple character strings, and a similarity calculation unit configured to calculate similarity values of the extracted keywords included in adjacent first regions of the multiple character strings, each first region including a predefined part of the multiple character strings.
