Abstract: [Object] To provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program.
[Solution] An information processing apparatus includes: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire input information of a user that includes a time lag between an input start and an input end, in a mode in which a plurality of contents are consecutively provided via at least one non-content period; and an output control unit configured, in a case where the input information is acquired in a content period in which first content or second content to be provided at a time later than the first content is being provided, to cause an output unit to output first output information on the basis of the input information, the first content and the second content being included in the plurality of contents, and in a case where the input information is acquired in the non-content period existing between the first content and the second content, to cause the output unit to output second output information different from the first output information, on the basis of the input information.

Abstract: There is provided a display apparatus including a relation score calculation unit calculating a relation score indicating closeness of a relation between characters based on a common appearance relation using segment metadata indicating a segment in a moving image where each of the characters appears, and an object display unit displaying an object corresponding to each of the characters appearing in the moving image. Further, the object display unit displays a pair of objects corresponding to a pair of characters with a high relation score to be closely positioned to each other, and displays a pair of objects corresponding to a pair of characters with a low relation score to be positioned far from each other.
