Abstract

An information processing device for obtaining content is provided. The information processing device includes circuitry configured to receive audio/video (AV) content via a broadcast signal. The circuitry is configured to receive from a provider of the AV content, provider-side preference, demographic or interest (PDI) information. The provider-side PDI information is associated with further content. The circuitry is configured to obtain user-side PDI information, and determine whether the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information match. The circuitry is configured to obtain the further content when the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information are determined to match, including calling at least one application programming interface (API).

Claims (53)

1. An information processing device for obtaining content, the information processing device comprising:

circuitry configured to:

receive audio/video (AV) content via a broadcast signal;

receive from a provider of the AV content, provider-side preference, demographic or interest (PDI) information, the provider-side PDI information being associated with further content;

obtain user-side PDI information;

determine whether the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information match;

store the further content when the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information are determined to match, including calling at least one application programming interface (API); and

reproduce the further content on a display.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to obtain the user-side PDI information by:

obtaining question information from the provider;

presenting to a user a question based on the question information; and

receiving an answer by the user to the question,

wherein the provider-side PDI information includes an answer by the provider to the question and the user-side PDI information includes the answer by the user to the question.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 comprising:

storage configured to store the user-side PDI information,

wherein the circuitry is configured to call a user-side PDI information obtaining API to obtain the user-side PDI information from the storage.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to call a provider-side PDI information obtaining API to obtain the provider-side PDI information from a server.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to receive the provider-side PDI information via the broadcast signal.

6. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to call a content obtaining API to obtain the further content.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to obtain the further content from a server via a network.

8. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the information processing device is a television.

9. An information processing method of an information processing device for obtaining content, the information processing method comprising:

receiving audio/video (AV) content via a broadcast signal;

receiving from a provider of the AV content, provider-side preference, demographic or interest (PDI) information, the provider-side PDI information being associated with further content;

obtaining user-side PDI information;

determining, by circuitry of the information processing device, whether the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information match;

storing, by the circuitry, the further content when the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information are determined to match, including calling at least one application programming interface (API); and

reproducing the further content on a display.

10. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the obtaining the user-side PDI information comprises:

obtaining question information from the provider;

presenting to a user a question based on the question information; and

receiving an answer by the user to the question,

wherein the provider-side PDI information includes an answer by the provider to the question and the user-side PDI information includes the answer by the user to the question.

11. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the obtaining the user-side PDI information comprises:

calling a user-side PDI information obtaining API to obtain the user-side PDI information from a storage that is configured to store the user-side PDI information.

12. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the receiving from the provider of the AV content the provider-side PDI information comprises:

calling a provider-side PDI information obtaining API to obtain the provider-side PDI information from a server.

13. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the receiving from the provider of the AV content the provider-side PDI information comprises:

receiving the provider-side PDI information via the broadcast signal.

14. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the storing the further content comprises:

calling a content obtaining API to obtain the further content.

15. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the storing the further content comprises:

obtaining the further content from a server via a network.

16. The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the information processing device is a television.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform an information processing method for obtaining content, the information processing method comprising:

receiving audio/video (AV) content via a broadcast signal;

receiving from a provider of the AV content, provider-side preference, demographic or interest (PDI) information, the provider-side PDI information being associated with further content;

obtaining user-side PDI information;

determining whether the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information match;

storing the further content when the provider-side PDI information and the user-side PDI information are determined to match, including calling at least one application programming interface (API); and

reproducing the further content on a display.

18. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to display an interface on the display to obtain the user-side PDI information.

19. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the provider-side PDI information is included in the broadcast signal.
