Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that can efficiently transmit a tactile signal for a plurality of tactile presentation units. A transmission apparatus breaks up a tactile signal included in content into a base tactile signal group, converts the base tactile signal group into encoded data including parameters defined for each of the broken up base tactile signals, and transmits the encoded data. A reception apparatus restores and combines the base tactile signals based on the parameters included in the encoded data to restore the tactile signal and makes a tactile presentation. The present disclosure can be applied to a content reproduction system including a tactile presentation apparatus.
