Information processing device, information processing method, content transfer system and computer program

A content storage apparatus for transmitting contents to an information processing apparatus, the content storage apparatus comprising:

• a content recorder that records the contents, each of the contents including content identification information identifying one of content types of music, video or book, and
• circuitry configured to
• transmit the content identification information that matches with a search keyword for each of the content types input to the information processing apparatus to the information processing apparatus so that the information processing apparatus displays a search results that lists the content identification information that matches with the search keyword for each of the content types, and
• transmit content attribution information associated with the content identification information to the information processing apparatus so that the information processing apparatus sorts the search result by the content attribution information for each of the content types.

An information processing method for receiving contents from a content storage apparatus, each of the contents including content identification information identifying one of content types of music, video or book, the information processing method comprising:

• retrieving the content identification information that matches with a search keyword for each of the content types from the contents storage apparatus by circuitry;
• displaying a search result that lists the retrieved content identification information that matches with the search keyword for each of the content types;
• and
• sorting the search result by content attribution information associated with the content identification information for each of the content types.

An information processing system for transmitting and receiving contents from a content storage apparatus to an information processing apparatus, each of the contents including content identification information identifying one of content types of music, video or book, the information processing system comprising:

• an information processing apparatus comprising:
• first circuitry configured to
• retrieve the content identification information that matches with a search keyword for each of the content types from the contents storage apparatus;
• display a search result that lists the retrieved content identification information that matches with the search keyword for each of the content types;
• and
• sort the search result by content attribution information associated with the content identification information for each of the content types;
• and
• a content storage apparatus comprising:
• a content recorder that records the contents, each of the contents including the content identification information;
• and
• second circuitry configured to
• transmit the content identification information that matches with the search keyword for each of the content types input to the information processing apparatus to the information processing apparatus, and
• transmit the content attribution information to the information processing apparatus.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including executable instructions, which when executed by a computer cause a computer to execute a method for receiving contents from a content storage apparatus, each of the contents including content identification information identifying one of content types of music, video or book, the method comprising:

• retrieving the content identification information that matches with a search keyword for each of the content types from the contents storage apparatus;
• displaying a search result that lists the retrieved content identification information that matches with the search keyword for each of the content types;
• and
• sorting the search result by content attribution information associated with the content identification information for each of the content types.
