Abstract

There is provided a reception terminal including a display control section which performs control of displaying content data shared with a transmission terminal, and an acquisition section which acquires, from a server, event identification information for identifying an event occurred in the transmission terminal regarding the content data, wherein the display control section adds a display associated with the event identification information acquired by the acquisition section to the content data.

Claims

1. A reception terminal comprising:

a display control section which performs control of displaying content data shared with a transmission terminal; and

an acquisition section which acquires, from a server, event identification information for identifying an event occurred in the transmission terminal regarding the content data,

wherein the display control section adds a display associated with the event identification information acquired by the acquisition section to the content data.

2. The reception terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the acquisition section further acquires event occurrence time, which is time at which the event occurred, from the server, and

wherein the display control section adds the display associated with the event identification information to the content data at time corresponding to the event occurrence time.

3. An information processing method comprising:

performing control of displaying content data shared with a transmission terminal;

acquiring, from a server, event identification information for identifying an event occurred in the transmission terminal regarding the content data; and

adding a display associated with the event identification information to the content data.

4. A program for causing a computer to function as a reception terminal including

a display control section which performs control of displaying content data shared with a transmission terminal, and

an acquisition section which acquires, from a server, event identification information for identifying an event occurred in the transmission terminal regarding the content data,

wherein the display control section adds a display associated with the event identification information acquired by the acquisition section to the content data.

5. A server comprising:

an acquisition section which acquires, from a transmission terminal, event identification information for identifying an event occurred in the transmission terminal regarding content data shared between the transmission terminal and a reception terminal; and

a notification section which notifies the reception terminal of the event identification information acquired by the acquisition section in response to a request from the reception terminal.

6. The server according to claim 5,

wherein the acquisition section further acquires event occurrence time, which is time at which the event occurred, from the transmission terminal, and

wherein the notification section further notifies the reception terminal of the event occurrence time acquired by the acquisition section.

7. The server according to claim 6,

wherein the acquisition section acquires a combination of the event identification information and the event occurrence time from each of a plurality of the transmission terminals,

wherein the server further comprises a processing section which merges the combinations acquired from the respective plurality of transmission terminals, and

wherein the notification section notifies the reception terminal of a result obtained by the merging performed by the processing section.

8. The server according to claim 6,

wherein the acquisition section acquires a combination of the event identification information and the event occurrence time from each of a plurality of the transmission terminals,

wherein the server further comprises a processing section which performs predetermined statistical processing to the combinations acquired from the respective plurality of transmission terminals, and

wherein the notification section notifies the reception terminal of a result obtained by performing, by the processing section, the predetermined statistical processing.

9. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring, from a transmission terminal, event identification information for identifying an event occurred in the transmission terminal regarding content data shared between the transmission terminal and a reception terminal; and

notifying the reception terminal of the event identification information in response to a request from the reception terminal.

10. A program for causing a computer to function as a server including

an acquisition section which acquires, from a transmission terminal, event identification information for identifying an event occurred in the transmission terminal regarding content data shared between the transmission terminal and a reception terminal, and

a notification section which notifies the reception terminal of the event identification information acquired by the acquisition section in response to a request from the reception terminal.

11. A transmission terminal comprising

a display control section which performs control of displaying content data shared with a reception terminal;

a detection section which detects an event that occurred regarding the content data; and

a notification section which notifies a server of event identification information for identifying the event detected by the detection section.

12. The transmission terminal according to claim 11,

wherein the detection section further detects event occurrence time, which is time at which the event occurred, and

wherein the notification section further notifies the server of the event occurrence time detected by the detection section.

13. The transmission terminal according to claim 11,

wherein the detection section further detects whether to limit the notification of information related to the detected event with respect to the reception terminal, and

wherein, when the detection section determines that the notification of the information related to the event is to be limited with respect to the reception terminal, the notification section limits the notification of the information related to the event with respect to the server.

14. An information processing method comprising:

performing control of displaying content data shared with a reception terminal;

detecting an event that occurred regarding the content data; and

notifying a server of event identification information for identifying the event.

15. A program for causing a computer to function as a transmission terminal including

a display control section which performs control of displaying content data shared with a reception terminal,

a detection section which detects an event that occurred regarding the content data, and

a notification section which notifies a server of event identification information for identifying the event detected by the detection section.

16. An information processing system comprising:

a transmission terminal including

a display control section which performs control of displaying content data,

a detection section which detects an event that occurred regarding the content data, and

a notification section which performs notification of event identification information for identifying the event detected by the detection section;

a server including

an acquisition section which acquires the event identification information from the transmission terminal, and

a notification section which performs notification of the event identification information acquired by the acquisition section in response to a request; and

a reception terminal including

a display control section which performs control of displaying content data shared with the transmission terminal, and

an acquisition section which acquires the event identification information from the server,

wherein the display control section adds a display associated with the event identification information acquired by the acquisition section to the content data.
