Abstract
When displaying a plurality of reduced content items corresponding to original content items in a list, reduced content corresponding to original content being reproduced on an external video reproduction device is displayed in a second display mode different from a first display mode for other reduced content items. An instruction to perform a predetermined process on original content related to the reduced content displayed in the second display mode is accepted in response to a user operation on the reduced content. An identifier of the reduced content and the instruction to perform the predetermined process on the original content associated with the identifier are transmitted to an external device.
Claims8
An information processing apparatus for displaying a list of reduced content items associated with identifiers allowing identification of original content items, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire an identifier of original content being reproduced by an external video reproduction device;
- a display control unit configured to control reduced content associated with the acquired identifier, from among a plurality of the reduced content items displayed in the list, to be displayed in a second display mode different from a first display mode for other reduced content items;
- an accepting unit configured to accept, in response to a user operation for the reduced content, an instruction to perform a predetermined process on the original content related to the reduced content displayed in the second display mode;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit, to an external device, an identifier of the reduced content and the instruction to perform the predetermined process on the original content associated with the identifier.
A control method of an information processing apparatus for displaying a list of reduced content items associated with identifiers allowing identification of original content items, the method comprising:
- acquiring an identifier of original content being reproduced by an external video reproduction device;
- controlling reduced content associated with the acquired identifier, from among a plurality of the reduced content items displayed in the list, to be displayed in a second display mode different from a first display mode for other reduced content items;
- accepting, in response to a user operation for the reduced content, an instruction to perform a predetermined process on the original content related to the reduced content displayed in the second display mode, in response to a user operation for the reduced content;
- and
- transmitting, to an external device, an identifier of the reduced content and the instruction to perform the predetermined process on the original content associated with the identifier.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions for causing an information processing apparatus for displaying a list of reduced content items associated with identifiers allowing identification of original content items to execute a control method, the control method comprising:
- acquiring an identifier of original content being reproduced by an external video reproduction device;
- controlling reduced content associated with the acquired identifier, from among a plurality of the reduced content items displayed in the list, to be displayed in a second display mode different from a first display mode for other reduced content items;
- accepting, in response to a user operation for the reduced content, an instruction to perform a predetermined process on the original content related to the reduced content displayed in the second display mode;
- and
- transmitting, to an external device, an identifier of the reduced content and the instruction to perform the predetermined process on the original content associated with the identifier.
