Abstract: A user operates content more intuitively. Provided is an information processing apparatus including an output control unit that controls provision of a plurality of content lists corresponding to a context to a user on the basis of the recognized context, in which the output control unit controls switching of the content lists on the basis of an equipment operation or a gesture by the user. Moreover, provided is an information processing method including controlling, by a processor, provision of a plurality of content lists corresponding to a context to a user on the basis of the recognized context, in which the controlling further includes controlling switching of the content lists on the basis of an equipment operation or a gesture by the user.

Abstract: When a retrieval keyword that requires contents is transmitted to a server, the server retrieves contents from a database based on the retrieval keyword, and generates page information including retrieved list information of contents, and appending information that displays whether or not the page information is provided with a consecutive reproduction function of making a terminal device consecutively reproduce part of contents included in the list information respectively to the page information, and transmits the page information. The terminal device displays a list of contents on a display unit based on the page information, and displays an icon in case the list is provided with the consecutive reproduction function to demonstrate that the consecutive reproduction is possible.

Abstract: When a retrieval keyword that requires contents is transmitted to a server, the server retrieves contents from a database based on the retrieval keyword, and generates page information including retrieved list information of contents, and appending information that displays whether or not the page information is provided with a consecutive reproduction function of making a terminal device consecutively reproduce part of contents included in the list information respectively to the page information, and transmits the page information. The terminal device displays a list of contents (tunes) on a display unit 173 based on the page information, and displays an icon 174 in case the list is provided with the consecutive reproduction function to demonstrate that the consecutive reproduction is possible.

Abstract: An information delivery system includes an information delivery apparatus installed at a sales company and receiver apparatuses installed at sales shops. A control unit generates program information data from stored program contents including catalog information, and generates delivery schedule information data based on stored delivery information. The program information data and the delivery schedule information data are transmitted by a broadband transmitter unit to the receiver apparatuses. The delivery schedule information is also transmitted to the receiver apparatuses, as required, via a narrowband communication path. In each receiver apparatus, a broadband receiver unit and a narrowband receiver unit receives the program information data and the delivery schedule information data, and the program contents are retrieved as desired and stored. A display unit displays the retrieved catalog information under the control of an information retrieval control unit.
