  • Patent number: 11153659
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus including an execution unit, a generation unit, a first request unit, and a second request unit. The execution unit is capable of executing first information processing. The generation unit is configured to generate a display image including first information associated with first access information for accessing the execution unit and second information associated with second access information for accessing a server on a global network, the server being capable of executing second information processing. The first request unit is configured to request the execution unit to execute the first information processing based on the first access information associated with the first information. The second request unit is configured to request the server to execute the second information processing based on the second access information associated with the second information.

  • Patent number: 7978957
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus that controls reproduction of a plurality of recorded contents recorded when distributed from a predetermined one of a plurality of distribution sources to each of which a predetermined channel is allocated, including reproduction control means for controlling so that, where reproduction starting absolute time indicative of reproduction starting time is designated by a user and besides a reproduction object channel is designated by the user, that one of the recorded contents of the reproduction object channel whose reproduction starting absolute time is included in a recording time zone is reproduced from a position thereof corresponding to the reproduction starting absolute time.

  • Patent number: 7715423
    Abstract: A communication terminal device performs communication based on a communication protocol defined so that first identification information assigned to the device is transmitted to and received from a communication party. The device includes an identification information generating section for detecting, based on information unique to the device, second identification information different from the first identification information, a storage section for storing a table representing a correspondence between the generated second identification information and the type of the device, and a control section for controlling the storage section so that communication with the communication party is established based on the table.
