Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing apparatus applied to a first electronic device, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a communication unit configured to establish a communication link between the first electronic device and a second electronic device;
• a display unit configured to display image;
• a processing unit configured to perform preset processing based on a preset instruction, wherein the processing unit is configured to:
• determine whether a predetermined display condition is satisfied;
• when the predetermined display condition is satisfied, display, via the display unit, a first communication interface to be used for communicating with the second electronic device, wherein the first communication interface can include a first region and a second region that are not totally identical, the first region includes a first sub-region for displaying first information acquired by the first electronic device and/or a second sub-region for displaying second information acquired by the second electronic device, in case of presence of shared information, the second region is provided to display the shared information, at least part of the shared information is displayed on both the first electronic device and the second electronic device simultaneously;
• and
• during a period of displaying the second region, perform data amount reduction processing at least on the first information that needs to be transmitted within a predetermined time period during the period of displaying the second region, so as to generate third information and transfer the third information to the second electronic device, wherein data amount of the third information is smaller than that of the corresponding first information.
