Abstract: A data transmission system may have a sending apparatus that sends streaming data, and a receiving apparatus that receives the streaming data and transmits a request of switch of the streaming data to the sending apparatus, in which the sending apparatus may switch the streaming data in response to the received request. The receiving apparatus may include a receiving section, a storage section that stores the streaming data temporarily and transfers it, an operation-detecting section that detects whether a user operates the request, and a control section that controls a transfer rate of the streaming data stored in the storage section to fast-forward the streaming data when the operation-detecting section detects that the user's operation. The sending apparatus may include an information-adding section that adds to the streaming data additional information on the user's operation when receiving a notice of user's operation, and a sending section that sends the additional-information-added streaming data.

Abstract: [Object] To provide a contact operation determination apparatus, a contact operation determination method, and a program that are capable of avoiding erroneous determination in an end portion of a contact detection area.

Abstract: In a DVR recording apparatus, a program and EPG data are received, and the EPG data and a reservation list, which relates to a reservation status of program recording, are stored. In addition, reserved recording, for recording a program in accordance with the reservation list, is carried out. Further, in the DVR, EPG data or the reservation list is transmitted in accordance with a request from a portable telephone. On one hand, in the portable telephone, in accordance with an operation of a user, a request of the EPG data or reservation list is transmitted, and in accordance with the request, the EPG data or reservation list transmitted from the DVR is received. Then, the EPG data or reservation list is presented in the portable telephone to a user.

Abstract: An information processing device that transmits and receives data to and from a device to which external devices are connected and that processes a signal transmitted from a remote control including buttons to which codes are allocated, the codes being different for each of the external devices, includes a storing unit configured to store, for each of the external devices, a table representing a relationship between the codes and the buttons; a generating unit configured to generate data of a graphical user interface in which a picture of the remote control and button names corresponding to the codes are located; and a control unit configured to perform, if a button included in the remote control to be used for issuing a command to change the button names has been operated, control such that the codes are changed while the table is referred to and that the button names are changed.

Abstract: A system and method of audio/video streaming in which a server transmits over a network an audio/video stream to a client device. The client device is able to send command data to the server causing the server to provide a change in content of the audio/video stream from a first content to a second content. Buffers in the server and client device can be flushed or skipped-over at the time of sending the command data so as to improve response time and marker data can be sent from the server to the client device to indicate the start of the second content.
