摘要:
A playback method of contents which plays back contents by a portable-type player connected to a recorder recording/playing back contents provided from the outside through a network is disclosed. The method includes the steps of transmitting data indicating contents satisfying a request to the player through the network by the recorder when receiving the request of playing back contents from the player through the network, requesting the recorder to transmit data of a selected content to the player through the network according to data indicating the selected content by the player when selecting the target content from the transmitted data, and playing back data of the transmitted content when data of the target content is transmitted from the recorder to the player through the network according to the request.

A content usage system includes a recording and playback device and a portable electronic device mutually connected via a network. When the recording and playback device receives a certain command while outputting digital content, that content is converted into transfer content suitable for use with the portable electronic device, and then stored with metadata indicating that the content is transfer content. Using the metadata, the recording and playback device is able to generate and transmit a list of transfer content upon request from the portable electronic device. Using the list, the user of the portable electronic device then selects desired transfer content from the list and sends a transfer content request. In response, the recording and playback device transmits the selected transfer content to the portable electronic device, thereby making the content available for use on the portable electronic device.
摘要:
In response to a request from a playback apparatus over a network to play back content, a first recording/playback apparatus transmits data indicating content satisfying the request to the playback apparatus over the network. When selecting desired content from the transmitted data, the playback apparatus requests the first recording/playback apparatus to transmit data of the selected content to the playback apparatus over the network. When the data of the desired content is transmitted to the playback apparatus from the first recording/playback apparatus over the network in response to the request, the content being transmitted is played back via streaming. When the playback apparatus transmits data indicating the played back content and an address of a second recording/playback apparatus to the first recording/playback apparatus over the network, the first recording/playback apparatus transmits data of the played back content to the second recording/playback apparatus over the network in accordance with the address.

摘要:
An electronic apparatus is designed so that a change in state of the operation key leads to a predetermined processing operation. In the electronic apparatus, a first detector detects operation keys being touched among a plurality of operation keys. A second detector detects an operation key being subjected to an operation of changing the state thereof among the operation keys. A device of notification signal generation generates a notification signal for providing the user with an explanation about processing corresponding to the operation key currently touched based on a detection result of the first detector. A first control device brings a hardware module and/or a software module, which corresponds to the operation key subjected to the change of the state thereof to an operation of changing a state is performed, into an execution state. The operation keys may be formed on a remote control transmitter.

An information processing apparatus includes a first display control section, a first input section, and a second display control section. The first display control section controls displaying of a plurality of content representative pictures so that the content representative pictures are displayed and arranged in a first direction. The content representative pictures represent a plurality of titles of content. Each of the titles of content is made up of a plurality of structural units. The first input section inputs a first user's operation to select one content representative picture from the displayed content representative pictures. The second display control section controls displaying of structural unit representative pictures so that the structural unit representative pictures are displayed and arranged in a second direction starting from the selected content representative picture when the first user's operation is input. The structural unit representative pictures represent the structural units of the title of content.
摘要:
Authentication reference information (SRM) is input into a variety of input paths, thereby increasing the opportunity to update the authentication reference information. Then, the authentication reference information input from each input path is temporarily buffered. After checking the validity or the version of the information, the authentication reference information is used for updating older authentication reference information, thereby preventing unnecessary or unsuitable updating.
摘要:
A recording/playback device includes an extracting unit to extract a feature amount for detecting a content break; a break determining unit to determine the content break using the feature amount extracted with the extracting unit; an attribute determining unit to determine the attributes of a segment, such segment being made from a predetermined break to the next break based on determination by the break determining unit; and a playback unit to continuously play back the segment determined by the attribute determining unit to have the same attributes; wherein the break determining unit determines each of a first segment and a second segment included in the first segment; and wherein the playback unit has a first mode to continuously play back the first segment and a second mode to continuously play back the second segment, and switches between the first mode and the second mode when instructed externally.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus which detects concomitant information associated with a time at which data satisfying a preset condition is supplied within a continuous period of time from input data that is temporally continuously input is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a change information detecting means for detecting temporally continuous characteristic quantity change information based on the characteristic quantity in a first period's worth of input data; an accumulation means for accumulating the characteristic quantity change information to obtain characteristic quantity change information associated with temporally continuous input data for a second period; a concomitant information detecting means for detecting the concomitant information based on the characteristic quantity change information; an accumulated amount identifying means for identifying the amount of characteristic quantity change information; and a priority determining means for determining the priority of the processes of the change information detecting means and the concomitant information detecting means.
