Abstract: Techniques for presenting recently generated content on a display include presenting, based on an execution of an application, content on the display, generating a content file including at least one of a video or a screenshot of the application, storing the content file, receiving, based on user input at the input device, a request to access one or more of content files from the folder, wherein the request is received while the execution of the application continues, and presenting, in response to the request, a window over at least a first portion of the content while the execution of the application continues, wherein the window previews the content file and indicates the recency of the content file, and includes a selectable option to edit for length, crop, or annotate in the window any of the content file or the other content files.

Abstract: An image processing unit 118 generates a distribution image including a game image. A distribution processing unit 126 distributes the distribution image to one or more of information processing terminals through a shared server. A participation processing unit 128 accepts play requests of viewing users operating the information processing terminals and approves a game play of one of the viewing users who has made a request for a play. An application execution unit 110 processes a game using operation information transmitted from the information processing terminal operated by the viewing user the game play of which has been approved.

Abstract: An application execution unit 110 generates a game image. A message generation unit 112 generates a notification message. An image processing unit 118 generates a distribution image including the game image. A distribution processing unit 126 distributes the distribution image to one or more information processing terminals through a shared server. A setting unit 114 allows a user to set whether or not the notification message is included in the distribution image so as to be visually recognizable, and registers setting contents in a storage apparatus.

Abstract: A purchase type determining unit 244 determines whether content is rental content, which has a valid time limit for enjoying, from purchasing type information included in the license information. An icon image processing unit 352 disposes an icon image of the content in a menu screen. In case the content is determined to be rental content by the purchase type determining unit 244, a rental mark disposing unit 356 disposes a rental mark indicating that associated content is rental content near the icon image of the content or disposes the rental mark so as to overlap with the icon image of the content.
