Information processing apparatus, information processing method and program

摘要

An information processing apparatus including a search unit configured to access a server storing a plurality of contents therein, and search for a desired content from among the plurality of contents, a recognition unit configured to recognize a reproduction apparatus which is capable of reproducing a content stored in the server, an instruction unit configured to instruct the reproduction apparatus to reproduce the content having been searched for by the search unit, and an acquisition unit configured to acquire reproduction information relating to the content having been reproduced by the reproduction apparatus.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
at least one reproduction unit; a processor-implemented search unit connected to said least one reproduction unit and configured to access a server storing a plurality of contents therein, and search for a desired content from among the plurality of contents; a processor-implemented recognition unit configured to recognize a selected reproduction apparatus, which is different from the reproduction unit and which selected reproduction apparatus is configured to reproduce the desired content stored in the server; a processor-implemented instruction unit configured to instruct the selected reproduction apparatus to reproduce from the server the desired content having been searched for by the search unit; and a processor-implemented acquisition unit configured to acquire reproduction information from the server relating to the desired content having been reproduced by the selected reproduction apparatus, wherein the instruction unit is further configured to cause the at least one reproduction unit to reproduce at least a portion of the desired content on the basis of the reproduction information having been acquired by the acquisition unit, wherein the reproduction information includes reproduction start information indicating a reproduction start point of the selected content where the reproduction of the selected content has been interrupted at the selected reproduction apparatus after having been partially reproduced by the selected reproduction apparatus, wherein the reproduction unit is configured to reproduce the content from the reproduction start point indicated by the reproduction start information that had been stored in the server, and wherein the reproduction start point is based, at least in part, on a method of content delivery.
