Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing method of an information processing apparatus, the method comprising

• inserting, by circuitry of the information processing apparatus, a voice recognition process token into audio stream of content, the voice recognition process token being related to use of a voice AI assistance service in coordination with the content, wherein
• the voice recognition process token indicates whether a voice recognition process of the audio stream of the content executed by the voice AI assistance service is prohibited or permitted;
• and
• a permitted voice recognition process operation is confirmed by a user inquiry token and a message presented to a user of the information processing apparatus in coordination with a response of the user;
• wherein the user inquiry token is an audio watermark inserted into the audio stream of the voice of the content.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• circuitry configured to detect, from an audio stream of content, a voice recognition process token related to use of a voice AI assistance service in coordination with the content, wherein
• the voice recognition process token indicates whether a voice recognition process of the audio stream of the content executed by the voice AI assistance service is prohibited or permitted;
• and
• a permitted voice recognition process operation is confirmed by a user inquiry token and a message presented to a user of the information processing apparatus in coordination with a response of the user;
• wherein the user inquiry token is an audio watermark inserted into the audio stream of the voice of the content.
