FIELD: physics, computer engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an apparatus/method for processing information using DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) technology, which facilitates smoother continuous reproduction. The information processing apparatus includes: a reproducing means for requesting an information providing device to transmit content, for which a reproduction instruction was issued by a user, receiving content transmitted in response to the request and reproducing the content; and a control means for stopping reproduction of content by the reproducing means, and transmitting, to another information processing apparatus, instructions to prepare for continuous reproduction, which includes a continuous reproduction position which is a position for stopping reproduction of content when a user issues an instruction to prepare for continuous reproduction.
