Abstract
Provided is an information processing apparatus including a storage part for storing criteria information of a plurality of destinations, and a display control part for performing control to display transmission capability information indicating whether it is possible to transmit, to each of the destinations, a selected motion picture file in a predetermined range selected from a motion picture file by a user, the transmission capability information being derived based on information about the selected motion picture file and the criteria information.
Claims5
A display method comprising:
- storing criteria information of a plurality of destinations;
- selecting a motion picture file;
- and
- performing control to display transmission capability information indicating whether it is possible to transmit, to each of the destinations, the selected motion picture file, the transmission capability information being derived based on information about the selected motion picture file and the criteria information,
- wherein the selecting of the motion picture file includes setting a desired start point and a desired end point of a motion picture file by a user so as to enable the user to select a desired portion of the motion picture file which is less than the entire motion picture file, and
- wherein a position and a range of the selected motion picture file as compared to the entire motion picture file is displayed with the transmission capability information, so as to provide the user with both (i) a visual indication as to where the selected motion picture file is located relative to the entire motion picture file and a size thereof, and (ii) a respective visual indication as to whether the selected motion picture file is transmittable to each of the destinations.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory that stores criteria information of a plurality of destinations;
- and
- a processor that enables a motion picture file to be selected and that controls display of transmission capability information indicating whether it is possible to transmit, to each of the destinations, the selected motion picture file, the transmission capability information being derived based on information about the selected motion picture file and the criteria information,
- wherein the selecting of the motion picture file includes setting a desired start point and a desired end point of a motion picture file by a user so as to enable the user to select a desired portion of the motion picture file which is less than the entire motion picture file, and
- wherein a position and a range of the selected motion picture file as compared to the entire motion picture file is displayed with the transmission capability information, so as to provide the user with both (i) a visual indication as to where the selected motion picture file is located relative to the entire motion picture file and a size thereof, and (ii) a respective visual indication as to whether the selected motion picture file is transmittable to each of the destinations.
