Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method that enable construction of preference information of many users without special communication. In an information processing apparatus for managing content to be delivered to a plurality of other information processing apparatuses via a network, content information of content delivered in response to a request to a plurality of the other information processing apparatuses is acquired by an acquisition unit, and interest information of a plurality of the other information processing apparatuses is constructed by a construction unit on the basis of the acquired content information. The present technology is applicable to, in one example, a delivery system that delivers content from a server to terminal device via a network.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing system capable of appropriately performing scaling of a distribution device which distributes an audio stream encoded by a lossless compression system. An original distribution server performs scaling of a premium server which distributes the audio stream to a premium client on the basis of bit rate information including an average value of a predetermined period of bit rates of the audio stream encoded by a lossless DSD system. The present disclosure is applicable to, for example, the original distribution server or the like.
