Information processing apparatus and information processing method for recommending application programs
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a communication section configured to acquire application programs from an external apparatus;
a memory that stores at least an application program and information relevant to said application program;
an application execution section, controlled by said external apparatus via said communication section, configured to execute said application program stored in said memory; and
a control section configured to determine other application programs to be recommended during execution of said application program in said application execution section, whereinsaid information relevant to said application program stored in said memory includes first relevant information and second relevant information which are used for determining said other application programs to be recommended during execution of said application program in said application execution section, andsaid control sectionselects first recommended application programs, from said memory, based on said first relevant information, which is related to said application program being executed by said application execution section;
acquires information on second recommended application programs based on said second relevant information, which is related to said application program being executed by said application execution section; and
outputs information on said first recommended application programs and said second recommended application programs as application-program recommending information, which is based on context information of said application program being executed by said application execution section, said context information including at least one of;
an indication of a selected-content state of said application program, an indication of an enterable-content state of said application program, and an indication of an outputtable content state of said application program.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a communication section that acquires application programs from an external apparatus, a memory that stores an application program and information relevant to the application program, and an application execution section that executes the application program stored in the memory. The information processing apparatus also includes a control section that determines other application programs to be recommended, during execution of the application program by the application execution section. The other application programs to be recommended are determined based on the information relevant to the application program, which includes first relevant information and second relevant information.

15. An information processing method to be adopted by an information processing apparatus including:
-
acquiring, by a communication section of the information processing apparatus, application programs from an external apparatus that is external to the information processing apparatus; storing, by a memory of the information processing apparatus, at least an application program and information relevant to said application program; executing, by an application execution section of the information processing apparatus, said application program stored in said memory; and determining, by a control section of the information processing apparatus, other application programs to be recommended during execution of said application program in said application execution section, wherein said information relevant to said application program includes first relevant information and second relevant information which are used for determining said other application programs to be recommended during execution of said application program in said application execution section, and said information processing method carried out to drive said control section comprises the steps of; selecting first recommended application programs, from said memory, based on said first relevant information, which is related to said application program being executed by said application execution section; acquiring information on second recommended application programs based on said second relevant information, which is related to said application program being executed by said application execution section; and outputting information on said first recommended application programs and said second recommended application programs as application-program recommending information, which is based on context information of said application program being executed by said application execution section, said context information including at least one of;
an indication of a selected-content state of said application program, an indication of an enterable-content state of said application program, and an indication of an outputtable content state of said application program. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
