INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD
The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method that enable improvement of the convenience of a user. The convenience of the user can be improved by providing an information processing apparatus including a control unit that performs control to receive control information from a device associated with a network service and present presentation information regarding the network service designated by the control information on the basis of an identification result for a user who uses the device. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a television receiver.
1 . An information processing apparatus comprising
a control unit that performs control to:
receive control information from a device associated with a network service; and
present presentation information regarding the network service designated by the control information on a basis of an identification result for a user who uses the device.
2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the network service includes a content service.
3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the presentation information is presented in an application related to the content service.
4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the presentation information includes at least one of video or audio of content to be reproduced, or recommendation information according to content to be recommended.
5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
in a case where the user or the device moves to another place, the control unit controls such that continuation of content to be reproduced is reproduced on the device.
6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
the information processing apparatus being associated with profile information of the user.
7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the profile information includes restriction information for restricting content under a predetermined condition, and
the control unit restricts reproduction of content to be reproduced on a basis of the restriction information.
8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein
the restriction information includes information regarding a restriction regarding a service of a subscription approach or a restriction regarding an age of a user.
9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the profile information includes type information indicating a type of a user, and
the control unit changes a user interface on a basis of the type information.
10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein
the type information includes information regarding disability of a user or information regarding an age of a user.
11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the profile information includes listening and viewing history information regarding a history of listening and viewing of content, and
the control unit presents recommendation information according to content to be recommended, on a basis of the listening and viewing history information.
12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,
the information processing apparatus being linked with the device, the user, the network service, and the profile information by a management table saved in an external server, wherein
the control unit performs control to receive the control information by way of the external server.
13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the control unit performs a switching process between a first account for reproducing content and a second account associated with the first account, the first account being associated with the content service, on a basis of an identification result for the user.
14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the control unit
presents the presentation information on a basis of a result of an authentication process for the user with respect to the network service, the authentication process being performed on a basis of identification information acquired by the device.
15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the control information is received via the Internet by way of an external server.
16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the control information includes information regarding a result of identification of the user performed on a basis of at least one piece of information among information regarding a face image, a fingerprint, and a voiceprint of the user.
17 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 ,
the information processing apparatus being the device, wherein
the control unit
performs control to:
send the control information;
acquire identification information to be used for user identification for identifying a user; and
perform a switching process between the first account and the second account.
18 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein
the presentation information includes recommendation information according to content to be recommended, which differs according to a device on which the network service is used.
19 . An information processing apparatus
comprising a control unit that performs control to:
acquire identification information for identifying a user;
generate control information for causing a process of presenting presentation information regarding a network service on a device associated with the network service to be performed; and
send each of the control information and the identification information.
20 . An information processing method comprising
performing, by an information processing apparatus,
control to:
receive control information from a device associated with a network service; and
present presentation information regarding the network service designated by the control information on a basis of an identification result for a user who uses the device.
