Abstract
In an information system including an information processing apparatus and an in-vehicle apparatus, a synchronization process is performed in a highly efficient manner, which allows an improvement in usability in playing back playable data on the in-vehicle apparatus. The information processing apparatus acquires a list of playable data already existing in the in-vehicle apparatus and produces synchronization data by extracting, as the synchronization data, playable data from the playable data existing in the information processing apparatus in accordance with the acquired list such that the extracted playable data does not include any part of the playable data already existing in the in-vehicle apparatus.

3. An information processing apparatus capable of producing synchronization data to be used in a synchronization process by which data existing in an in-vehicle apparatus and playable by the in-vehicle apparatus is to be synchronized in terms of content with playable data existing in the information processing apparatus, and supplying the produced synchronization data to the in-vehicle apparatus,
wherein the synchronization data is produced such that when playable data selected by a user from the playable data existing in the information processing apparatus is supplied to a device capable of supplying this playable data to the in-vehicle apparatus, the synchronization data is produced by extracting playable data as the synchronization data from the playable data existing in the information processing apparatus such that the extracted playable data does not include any part of the playable data supplied to the device.
-
7. An in-vehicle apparatus capable of performing a synchronization process in conjunction with an information processing apparatus so that data existing in the in-vehicle apparatus and playable by the in-vehicle apparatus is synchronized in terms of content with playable data existing in the information processing apparatus,
wherein the in-vehicle apparatus provides a list of playable data existing in the in-vehicle apparatus to the information processing apparatus, and the information processing apparatus produces the synchronization data, using the list, to be used in the synchronization process.
-
11. An information system including an information processing apparatus and an in-vehicle apparatus, the information system being capable of performing a synchronization process including producing, by the information processing apparatus, synchronization data to be used in the synchronization process by which data existing in the in-vehicle apparatus and playable by the in-vehicle apparatus is to be synchronized in terms of content with playable data existing in the information processing apparatus, and supplying the produced synchronization data to the in-vehicle apparatus, the synchronization data being produced by performing a process including:
-
providing a list of playable data existing in the in-vehicle apparatus from the in-vehicle apparatus to the information processing apparatus;
analyzing, in the information processing apparatus, the list provided by the in-vehicle apparatus; and
extracting playable data as the synchronization data from the playable data existing in the information processing apparatus such that the extracted playable data does not include any part of the playable data existing in the in-vehicle apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (12)
