Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An information processing method for an information processing apparatus which cooperates with a terminal apparatus to configure a home network system, the method executed by the information processing apparatus, comprising:

• a frame visual attribute setting step of setting a frame visual attribute to a window provided on a screen to display a reproduced piece of content;
• a notification step of notifying the terminal apparatus of a command adapted to request notification of the frame visual attribute set to the window from the information processing apparatus;
• and
• a notification step of notifying the terminal apparatus of the frame visual attribute of the window in response to calling of the command by the terminal apparatus.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program used to cause a computer, which cooperates with a terminal apparatus to configure a home network system, to:

• set a frame visual attribute to a window provided on a screen to display a reproduced piece of content;
• notify the terminal apparatus of a command adapted to request notification of the frame visual attribute set to the window from the information processing apparatus;
• and
• notify the terminal apparatus of the frame visual attribute of the window in response to calling of the command by the terminal apparatus.

An information processing apparatus which cooperates with a content displaying apparatus, which is configured to display a piece of content in a window provided on a screen, to configure a home network system, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• circuitry configured to
• acquire a command adapted to request notification of a frame visual attribute set to the window provided on the screen of the content displaying apparatus to display a reproduced piece of content from the content displaying apparatus;
• call the command to receive notification of the frame visual attribute;
• acquire and execute a linked application to be executed in accordance with the progression of the piece of content displayed in the window provided on the screen of the content displaying apparatus;
• and
• set a frame visual attribute same as the notified frame visual attribute to a frame in which an image by the linked application is to be displayed.

An information processing method for an information processing apparatus which cooperates with a content displaying apparatus, displaying a piece of content in a window provided on a screen, to configure a home network system, the method executed by the information processing apparatus, comprising:

• an acquisition step of acquiring a command adapted to request notification of a frame visual attribute set to the window provided on the screen of the content displaying apparatus to display a reproduced piece of content from the content displaying apparatus;
• a reception step of calling the command to receive the notification of the frame visual attribute;
• a linked application execution step of acquiring and executing a linked application to be executed in accordance with the progression of the piece of content displayed in the window provided on the screen of the content displaying apparatus;
• and
• a frame displaying controlling step of setting a frame visual attribute same as the notified frame visual attribute to a frame in which an image by the linked application is to be displayed.
