An electronic device is provided for control of playback based on image capture. The electronic device includes circuitry. The circuitry is communicatively coupled to an imaging apparatus and a rendering device that plays content. The circuitry acquires, from the imaging apparatus, one or more images of a user of the electronic device and a physical space associated with the user. The circuitry detects a lip movement of the user based on the acquired one or more images. The circuitry determines whether the user is in a conversation based on the detected lip movement of the user. The circuitry controls playback of the content on the rendering device based on the determination.
