Abstract

An information processing system includes: a parent terminal having a storage section storing device information including a drawing capability of a child terminal, a generation section generating transmission data of a user interface or a content in accordance with the device information, and a transmission section transmitting the transmission data to the child terminal; and a child terminal having a receiving section receiving the transmission data, and a display section displaying a user interface screen or a content playback screen on the basis of the transmission data.

Claims

1. An information processing system comprising:

a parent terminal having a storage section storing device information including a drawing capability of a child terminal, a generation section generating transmission data of a user interface or a content in accordance with the device information, and a transmission section transmitting the transmission data to the child terminal; and

a child terminal having a receiving section receiving the transmission data, and a display section displaying a user interface screen or a content playback screen on the basis of the transmission data.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1,

wherein the child terminal has a receiving capability monitoring section monitoring a receiving capability of the child terminal, and a transmission section transmitting a control signal including a level of the receiving capability to the parent terminal, and

the generation section changes the amount of the transmission data on the basis of the control signal.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1,

wherein the child terminal has a calculation capability monitoring section monitoring a calculation capability of the child terminal, and a transmission section transmitting a control signal including a level of the calculation capability to the parent terminal, and

the generation section changes the amount of the transmission data on the basis of the control signal.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1,

wherein the device information includes user attribute information, and

the generation section generates transmission data of a user interface or a content in accordance with the user attribute information.

5. The information processing system according to claim 4,

wherein the parent terminal includes a control section changing the device information of the child terminal when the user attribute information of the child terminal is changed.

6. The information processing system according to claim 1,

wherein the device information includes language information, and

the generation section generates transmission data of user interface or a content in a language in accordance with the language information.

7. The information processing system according to claim 6,

wherein the parent terminal has a control section changing the device information of the child terminal in accordance with a change in the language information of the child terminal.

8. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a storage section storing device information including a drawing capability of a child terminal;

a generation section generating transmission data of a user interface or a content in accordance with the device information; and

a transmission section transmitting the transmission data to the child terminal.

9. A method of processing information, comprising the steps of:

a parent terminal generating transmission data of a user interface or a content in accordance with device information including a drawing capability of a child terminal;

the parent terminal transmitting the transmission data to the child terminal;

the child terminal receiving the transmission data; and

the child terminal displaying a user interface screen or a content playback screen on the basis of the transmission data.

10. A program for causing an information processing apparatus to perform processing comprising the steps of:

generating transmission data of a user interface or a content in accordance with device information including a drawing capability of a child terminal; and

transmitting the transmission data to the child terminal.
