Abstract:
An information search system, an information processing apparatus and method, and an information search apparatus and method for recommending program information corresponding to a user’s interest. A PC extracts a word corresponding to a user’s interest from mail documents transmitted/received by the user and records data on interest. In S121 and S122, when log-in is performed by the user, an HDD recorder requests to acquire data on interest and according to this request, the PC transmits data on interest corresponding to the user logged in. In S123 and S124, the HDD recorder transmits the received data on interest to a server. In S131, the server searches and transmits program information matched with the data on interest received. In S125, the HDD recorder sets a program recording reservation according to the program information contained in the search result. The present invention can be applied to a program installed in a personal computer.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus, method and computer program product cooperate to provide graphical trends of posts regarding a posting subject and additional information. The apparatus includes a collector that collects posts regarding a posting subject that proceeds over time. A counting unit is included that counts a number of collected posts for each of different classes of posts.

Abstract:
A receiver receives a digital signal from an external device by digital signal receiver means or receives an analog signal from an external device by analog signal receiver means. Output means outputs the received digital or analog signal, together with graphics information for operating the external device from generation means if necessary. No matter whether an external device supplies a digital or analog signal, the signal and graphics information may serve to operate an external device, thus facilitating control of an external device.

Abstract:
The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method and a program that enable information related to an event to be presented to each user at an appropriate timing. A server includes: a rule setting unit which sets a rule for setting a presentation timing for presenting event information related to each event for each user; a presentation timing setting unit which sets the presentation timing of the event information for each user based on the set rule; and a presentation control unit which performs a control in a manner that the event information is presented to each user at the set presentation timing. The present technology can be applied to a server that presents event information, for example.
