Abstract
An information processing apparatus and server apparatus are disclosed. In one example, the information processing apparatus is configured to display content on a first display and transmit an instruction to display the content, which is being displayed on the first display, on a second display of a first external device. This instruction causes a displaying of the content at a specified playback start point on the second display.
Claims21
A control apparatus comprising:
- control circuitry configured to control communication circuitry to transmit a control signal to a plurality of electronic apparatuses;
- and
- display control circuitry configured to control a display to display a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface includes a list of the plurality of electronic apparatuses, wherein one or more of the plurality of electronic apparatuses are in an inactive state and grayed-out in the list,
- wherein the control circuitry is further configured to
- receive a selection of one of the one or more of the plurality of electronic apparatuses that are in the inactive state and grayed-out in the list,
- control the communication circuitry to transmit the control signal to the one of the plurality of electronic apparatuses in response to receiving the selection, the control signal causes the one of the plurality of electronic apparatuses that is selected to change from the inactive state to an active state,
- control a plurality of video contents as a source,
- control a plurality of output devices,
- control any of the plurality of output devices to display a moving image stream based on one or more video contents of the plurality of video contents, and
- control the graphical user interface to display images of a second moving image stream based on a second one or more video contents of the plurality of video contents.
