摘要

According to one embodiment, there is provided an information processing apparatus including a storing unit which stores moving image contents. A scene searching key transmitting unit transmits, to a metadata management server via a network, a scene searching key for searching for a scene from the moving image contents stored in the storing unit. A metadata obtaining unit obtains, from the metadata management server, a result of searching by another information processing apparatus with respect to the moving image contents based on the scene searching key. The result is obtained as metadata.
