Abstract
The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program for making easier-to-understand evaluations of contents.
A reproduction control section 54 controls reproduction of a content which varies dynamically over a predetermined time period; a tag data reading section 55 reads tag information which has been stored beforehand and which represents tags to be attached to the content in response to designation by a user to attach the tags as a subjective evaluation of the user regarding the content being reproduced; a time code acquisition section 56 acquires time information indicating times into the content at which the attachment of the tags is designated by the user; and a storage section 32 stores the time information and the tag information in association with one another. This apparatus allows easier-to-understand evaluations to be made of contents. The present invention may be applied illustratively to content reproduction devices such as a mobile phone or a HDD recorders.
