Abstract

An information processing apparatus is provided that includes a playback unit to play back music data, an analysis unit to analyze a feature of a relevant image of the music data, an image correction unit to perform image correction with use of any of a plurality of correction types, a storage unit to store one or more than one image, a selection unit to select a correction type corresponding to the feature of the relevant image analyzed by the analysis unit from the plurality of correction types, a correction control unit to cause the image correction unit to perform image correction of an image stored in the storage unit with use of the correction type selected by the selection unit, and an output unit to output the image corrected by the image correction unit.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

a central processing unit (CPU) configured to;

receive a request of audio data from a device;

select an image based on the audio data;

determine a character in the image and a first font of the character in the image;

replace the first font of the character in the image with a second font, wherein the second font is selected based on the audio data; and

provide the image with the second font of the character along with the audio data to the device.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is further configured to select the image based on at least one of a release date, a title, or a genre of the audio data.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the CPU is further configured to replace a color for the character based on the audio data.

4. An information processing method, comprising:

receiving, by a central processing unit (CPU), a request of audio data from a device;

selecting, by the CPU, an image based on the audio data;

determining, by the CPU, a character in the image and a first font of the character in the image;

replacing, by the CPU, the first font of the character in the image with a second font, wherein the second font is selected based on the audio data; and

providing, by the CPU, the image with the second font of the character along with the audio data to the device.

5. The information processing method according to claim 4, further comprising selecting the image based on at least one of a release date, a title, or a genre of the audio data.

6. The information processing method according to claim 4, further comprising replacing a color for the character based on the audio data.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:

receiving a request of audio data from a device;

selecting an image based on the audio data;

determining a character in the image and a first font of the character in the image;

replacing the first font of the character in the image with a second font, wherein the second font is selected based on the audio data; and

providing the image with the second font of the character along with the audio data to the device.

8. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

a central processing unit (CPU) configured to;

receive a request of audio data from a device;

select an image based on the audio data;

determine a character in the image and a first color of the character in the image;

replace the first color of the character in the image with a second color, wherein the second color is selected based on the audio data; and

provide the image with the second color of the character along with the audio data to the device.
