Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program making it possible to further enhance entertainability. A play state recognition unit recognizes a play state of a game. The effect rendering unit performs image processing for adding an effect to an image representing the state of the commentator that makes a gaming commentary on the basis of the play state of the game recognized by the play state recognition unit. For example, a game status indicating predetermined information is displayed at a predetermined location on the game screen of the game in accordance with the play state of the game. The play state recognition unit analyzes the game status to recognize the play state of the game. The present technology can be applied to a video distribution service that distributes a video of a game screen, for example.

Abstract: A communication server 200 acquires a request specifying a desired location for content creation from a requester terminal 310, and provides a notification of the request to an accepter terminal 300 accepting the content creation. The notification history managing unit 206 stores, as notification history, the distance from an accepter terminal to be provided with the notification to the desired recoding location and acceptance information. Upon acquisition of a new request, a request notification terminal selecting unit 203 selects a accepter terminal 300 that is likely to accept the request according to the notification history, and the request notifying unit 204 provides the selected accepter terminal 300 with the notification.
