Communication system including a first communication mode with a server that is concurrent with a second communication mode with a P2P client, information processing device, and a communication method

摘要

An information processing device includes a display recording list receiver that receives display information for displaying a list of one or more content items from a server through a first connection made based on a first communication mode. Moreover, the information processing device includes: a P2P connection implementation unit that establishes, between a receiving device and the information processing device, a second connection made based on a second communication mode for performing communication between the receiving device and information processing device without passing via the server; a recorded program selector that selects a content item out of the one or more content items based on the display information; and a recorded program receiver that receives the selected content item from the receiving device through the second connection.
