Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

Abstract

Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus which cooperates with a terminal apparatus to configure a home network system, including: a frame visual attribute setting section configured to set a frame visual attribute to a window provided on a screen to display a reproduced piece of content; a publication section configured to publish a command adapted to request notification of the frame visual attribute set to the window from the terminal apparatus to the terminal apparatus; and a notification section configured to notify the terminal apparatus of the frame visual attribute of the window in response to calling of the command from the terminal apparatus.

1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . A reception apparatus, comprising:
 circuitry configured to
 process content for display to a user; 
 extract signature data from the content, 
 provide the signature data to an automatic content recognition (ACR) server, 
 receive a response from the ACR server, and 
 provide the response to a terminal apparatus via a home network. 
   
     
     
         3 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the terminal apparatus is a second screen device. 
     
     
         4 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the terminal apparatus is configured to acquire an application based on the response. 
     
     
         5 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:
 forward a plurality of different ACR responses that is associated with the application to the terminal apparatus.   
     
     
         6 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the circuitry is configured to provide the response to the terminal apparatus via the home network when the response is received by the circuitry. 
     
     
         7 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:
 receive a request for a device description, the device description defining a URL used to invoke an action for a service; and   provide the device description to the terminal apparatus in response to receiving the request.   
     
     
         8 . A method for providing information to a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:
 processing, by circuitry of a reception apparatus, content for display to a user;   extracting, by the circuitry, signature data from the content,   providing the signature data to an automatic content recognition (ACR) server,   receiving, by the circuitry, a response from the ACR server, and   providing, by the circuitry, the response to the terminal apparatus via a home network.   
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein the terminal apparatus is a second screen device. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein the terminal apparatus is configured to acquire an application based on the response. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 10 , further comprising:
 forwarding a plurality of different ACR responses that is associated with the application to the terminal apparatus.   
     
     
         12 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the step of providing the response comprises:
 providing the response to the terminal apparatus via the home network when the response is received by the circuitry.   
     
     
         13 . The reception apparatus according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 receiving a request for a device description, the device description defining a URL used to invoke an action for a service; and   providing the device description to the terminal apparatus in response to receiving the request.   
     
     
         14 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program which when executed by a computer causes the computer to perform a method for providing information to a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:
 processing content for display to a user;   extracting signature data from the content,   providing the signature data to an automatic content recognition (ACR) server,   receiving a response from the ACR server, and   providing the response to the terminal apparatus via a home network.
