Abstract

The present technology relates to an information processing terminal, an information processing method, and a program, each of which makes it possible to easily switch a setting regarding playback of content. An information processing terminal according to an aspect of the present technology starts playback of content by using a default value as a setting value of a predetermined setting regarding playback, and controls the playback of the content so that, in a case where a switching operation for switching the predetermined setting is performed, the content is played back by using a setting value selected during previous playback. The present technology is applicable to a smartphone in which various applications can be installed to extend a function thereof.

Claims (22)

1. An information processing terminal comprising

a control unit that starts playback of content by using a default value as a setting value of a predetermined setting regarding playback, and controls the playback of the content so that, in a case where a first switching operation for switching the predetermined setting is performed by pressing a button once, the content is played back by using a setting value selected during previous playback, the setting value selected during previous playback being different from the default value; and

a display control unit that causes a list for use in selecting a setting value to be displayed in a case where a second switching operation is performed during the playback of the content using the setting value selected during the previous playback, the second switching operation being performed by pressing the button once again.

2. The information processing terminal according to claim 1 , further comprising

a storage unit that stores information indicating a setting value selected from the list as information indicating the setting value selected during the previous playback.

3. The information processing terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit enables, depending on a supply source of the content, a function of playing back the content by using the setting value selected during the previous playback in a case where the switching operation is performed.

4. The information processing terminal according to claim 3 , wherein

the control unit enables the function in a case where the supply source of the content is a recording medium included in the information processing terminal, and disables the function in a case where the supply source of the content is a recording medium of an external device connected via a network.

5. The information processing terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

in a case where the switching operation is performed, the control unit plays back the content by using a setting value selected during previous playback of content of a same genre as the content.

6. The information processing terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the predetermined setting is a setting of a playback speed of the content including video and audio.

7. An information processing method comprising

causing an information processing terminal to

start playback of content by using a default value as a setting value of a predetermined setting regarding playback,

control the playback of the content so that, in a case where a first switching operation for switching the predetermined setting is performed by pressing a button once, the content is played back by using a setting value selected during previous playback, the setting value selected during previous playback being different from the default value, and

cause a list for use in selecting a setting value to be displayed in a case where a second switching operation is performed during the playback of the content using the setting value selected during the previous playback, the second switching operation being performed by pressing the button once again.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a computer-readable program for causing a computer to execute processing of

starting playback of content by using a default value as a setting value of a predetermined setting regarding playback,

controlling the playback of the content so that, in a case where a first switching operation for switching the predetermined setting is performed by pressing a button once, the content is played back by using a setting value selected during previous playback, the setting value selected during previous playback being different from the default value, and

causing a list for use in selecting a setting value to be displayed in a case where a second switching operation is performed during the playback of the content using the setting value selected during the previous playback, the second switching operation being performed by pressing the button once again.
