Abstract:
A home screen display unit arranges and displays a plurality of content icons indicating a plurality of pieces of content in a first area in a content zone screen. If a specific content icon is focused on by the cursor and if a preset determination operation is performed, a content playback unit starts playback of the content indicated by the focused icon. If a specific content icon is focused on by the cursor, a related information acquiring unit acquires related information relating to the content that is indicated by the focused icon that is registered in an external device from the external device without starting playback of the content. A home screen display unit displays the acquired related information in a second area of the content zone screen and displays, if related information is updated, the updated related information in the second area so as to replace the related information displayed until that moment.
Abstract:
When a communication unit receives a connection request from a device, a selection screen generating unit provides a selection screen for selecting a registered user. A login user storage unit separately stores information identifying a primary user who logged in first and information identifying one or more secondary users who logged in second or thereafter. Specifically, the login user storage unit stores the information identifying the primary user in association with information indicating initial login. An application startup unit starts an application upon receipt of a start instruction from the device used by the primary user but does not start the application when given the start instruction from the device used by the secondary user.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus on which software is installed. The information processing apparatus includes: an update block configured to update the software independently of a user instruction if update of the software is ready; and an update limitation block configured to limit update of the software executed by the update block if a predetermined condition is satisfied.
Abstract:
A home screen display unit displays a global navigation screen 12 that is located on an upper layer with respect to a screen transition and that is used for selecting a category of content to be processed. The home screen display unit displays a content zone screen 18 that is located on a lower layer with respect to a screen transition and that is used for selecting a piece of content to be processed from among a plurality of pieces of content corresponding to the category selected in the global navigation screen 12. If a specific piece of content is selected in the content zone screen 18, a game screen display unit displays a screen of the selected content. The home screen display unit displays, in the global navigation screen 12, an image of at least a portion of the content zone screen 18 with image quality lower than that in the case where the image is displayed in the content zone screen 18.
Abstract:
An acquisition unit 200 acquires image data in which game play is recorded or image data of a game currently being played. A display processing unit 202 displays an image of game play using the acquired image data and displays an image for acquiring game software while the image of the game play is being displayed or after the completion of the display of the image of the game play. When a reception unit 204 receives an input operation in the image for acquiring the game software, a request generation unit 206 generates a request for downloading that indicates, as a destination of the game software, another information processing apparatus different from the information processing apparatus, and a transmission unit 208 transmits the generated request for downloading.
Abstract:
When an acquisition unit acquires image data of a game being played on another information processing apparatus, a display processing unit displays, using the acquired image data, an image of game play. A participation processing unit allows a user to join the game being played on the other information processing apparatus, and an execution unit activates game software after it is determined that the user joins the game. While the execution unit is activating the game software, the display processing unit continues to display the image of the game play.

Abstract:
A storing section stores an invitation message giving an invitation to an application to be executed by another information processing apparatus. An information displaying section displays the invitation messages on a display device. At this point, the information displaying section displays a valid invitation message and an invalid invitation message in a manner different from each other. The information displaying section may further display an unread invitation message and a read invitation message in a manner different from each other.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a technology for suitably generating a post-system-resume screen. An information processor includes: a mode control section adapted to select power saving mode as an operation mode; and a screen control section adapted to generate a display screen, in which when a user logs in after the mode control section switches the mode from power saving mode to normal mode, the screen control section generates a display screen to match the user who has logged in.
