Abstract
An apparatus includes a transmitter configured to transmit content and a point of interest indicator to a second device. The content and the point of interest indicator are selected by a user of the first device using a single action. The point of interest indicator identifies a portion of the content to be highlighted by the second device.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to generate a point of interest position associated with content based on a user input, the point of interest position identifying a portion of the content to be highlighted by another apparatus when the content is reproduced by the another apparatus;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the content and a point of interest control command separately to the another apparatus, the point of interest control command includes the point of interest position and information indicating a type of the content.
A system comprising:
- a first apparatus, comprising
- circuitry configured to generate a point of interest position associated with content based on a user input, the point of interest position identifying a portion of the content to be highlighted by a second apparatus when the content is reproduced by the second apparatus;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the content and a point of interest control command separately to the second apparatus, the point of interest control command includes the point of interest position and information indicating a type of the content;
- and
- the second apparatus configured to
- receive the content and the point of interest control command from the first apparatus;
- reproduce the content on a display of the second apparatus;
- and
- display an indicator on the display, the indicator highlighting the portion of the content identified according to the point of interest position.

A method performed by an apparatus, the method comprising:
- generating, by circuitry of the apparatus, a point of interest position associated with content based on a user input, the point of interest position identifying a portion of the content to be highlighted by another apparatus when the content is reproduced by the another apparatus;
- and
- transmitting, by a transmitter of the apparatus, the content and a point of interest control command separately to the another apparatus, the point of interest control command includes the point of interest position and information indicating a type of the content.
A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with a program that, when executed by at least one processor, causes an apparatus to perform a method comprising:
- generating a point of interest position associated with content based on a user input, the point of interest position identifying a portion of the content to be highlighted by another apparatus when the content is reproduced by the another apparatus;
- and
- transmitting the content and a point of interest control command separately to the another apparatus, the point of interest control command includes the point of interest position and information indicating a type of the content.
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive content and a point of interest control command separately from another apparatus, the point of interest control command includes a point of interest position associated with the content and information indicating a type of the content, the point of interest position identifying a portion of the content to be highlighted by the apparatus when the content is reproduced by the apparatus;
- a display;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- reproduce the content on the display;
- and
- cause the display to highlight the portion of the content identified according to the point of interest position.
