Abstract

The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method that enable screen sharing to be easily and reliably performed. Provided is an information processing apparatus including a processing unit that generates, on the basis of a message transmitted from a sharing source device that performs screen sharing, identification information that identifies the information processing apparatus serving as a sharing candidate device as a candidate for screen sharing, provides the sharing source device with device information regarding the information processing apparatus, and outputs the generated identification information. The present technology can be applied to a device that performs screen sharing.

Claims (38)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising a processing unit that

generates, on a basis of a message transmitted from a sharing source device that performs screen sharing, identification information that identifies the information processing apparatus serving as a sharing candidate device as a candidate for screen sharing,

provides the sharing source device with device information regarding the information processing apparatus such that content to be shared is displayed along with a name of the information processing apparatus and an image displayed on the information processing apparatus are displayed on a selection screen of the sharing source device based on the device information, and

outputs the generated identification information.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the device information includes information regarding the identification information.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processing unit controls display of the generated identification information, and

provides the generated identification information to the sharing source device on a basis of the device information.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the identification information includes an image, text, or a code.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the identification information corresponds to an image displayed on a display of the sharing source device.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , the information processing apparatus further comprising a display unit,

wherein the processing unit

controls display of the identification information on the display unit, and

the identification information is displayed on a display of the sharing source device.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processing unit

generates a two-dimensional code that identifies the information processing apparatus, controls display of the generated two-dimensional code, and

provides the sharing source device with the device information including information regarding the two-dimensional code.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processing unit

generates information regarding sound or regarding light, the information identifying the information processing apparatus,

controls output of the sound or output of the light, and

provides the sharing source device with the device information including information regarding the sound or regarding the light.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processing unit

generates information regarding sound or regarding an image, the information identifying the information processing apparatus,

controls output of the sound or display of the image, and

provides the sharing source device with the device information including information regarding the sound or regarding the image.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the device information includes information regarding the identification information corresponding to a plurality of methods.

11. An information processing method comprising,

by an information processing apparatus:

generating, on a basis of a message transmitted from a sharing source device that performs screen sharing, identification information that identifies the information processing apparatus serving as a sharing candidate device as a candidate for screen sharing,

providing the sharing source device with device information regarding the information processing apparatus such that content to be shared is displayed along with a name of the information processing apparatus and an image displayed on the information processing apparatus are displayed on a selection screen of the sharing source device based on the device information, and

outputting the generated identification information.
