ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus for providing controls to have contents recorded in a recording medium for recording one or more broadcast programs aired in the past as data displayed on a specified display device, includes: an acquiring section to acquire program information for one or more broadcast programs recorded in the recording medium; a program table generating section to generate a first table in which columns in one orthogonal direction are allocated to broadcast stations and the other are to time zones, generate a first program table by allocating program columns for the broadcast program on each of one or more areas identified with the one or more program information acquired by the acquiring section in the entire area constituting the first table, and outputting the first program table as first image data; and a display control section to control, while the control is executed, a background image for second image data displayed on the specified display device, data constituting each of the one or more program columns of the first image data is synthesized on corresponding data in the second image data with a first transmission percentage, the remaining data is synthesized on corresponding data in the second image data with a second transmission rate higher than the first transmission rate, and an image corresponding to the resultant synthesized image data is displayed on the specified display device.
