Abstract: An information processing method according to an embodiment of the present technology which is executed by a computer includes detecting, on a basis of a beacon signal transmitted from a first apparatus, the first apparatus, and communicably connecting the detected first apparatus and the computer. A distance from the computer to the first apparatus is calculated on a basis of an intensity of a signal received from the first apparatus communicably connected. In a case where the calculated distance is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value, setting information for communicably connecting the first apparatus and a second apparatus is transmitted to the first apparatus.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a detection unit; a first acquisition unit; a second acquisition unit; and a generation unit. The detection unit detects a reproduction apparatus. The first acquisition unit acquires a reproduction mode of the detected reproduction apparatus. The second acquisition unit acquires history information, the history information including a reproduction apparatus selected in a past and a reproduction mode of the reproduction apparatus when the reproduction apparatus has been selected in the past. The generation unit generates an operation image, the operation image including detection information and the acquired history information, the detection information including the detected reproduction apparatus and a reproduction mode of the reproduction apparatus when the reproduction apparatus has been detected.

Abstract: To provide an information processing method, program, information processing apparatus, and information processing system which are capable of achieving a high-quality content listening or listening or viewing experience. An information processing method according to an embodiment of the present technology is executed by a computer, and includes calculating, on a basis of a beacon signal which is transmitted from a reproduction apparatus capable of reproducing a content, a distance from the computer to the reproduction apparatus. On a basis of the calculated distance, a transfer reproduction operation by the reproduction apparatus is controlled, in which a content that is being reproduced by a different reproduction apparatus is transferred and reproduced.
