Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 21:
22. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a network interface receiving first program or playlist information wirelessly from a device external to the information processing apparatus, the first program or playlist information being received including second program or playlist information that is encrypted;
a display displaying a first user interface for a user to select a user profile from among a plurality of user profiles including a first user profile associated with a first character and a second user profile associated with a second character, the plurality of user profiles being associated with program or playlist information and the first user interface including an option for a user to select the first user profile from the plurality of user profiles by selecting the first character;
an input interface receiving a selection of the first user profile at a first time and a selection of the second character at a second time,
wherein, in response to the selection of the first user profile, the display displays a second user interface for a user to select desired program or playlist information to be reproduced from among the first program or playlist information, the second user interface being associated with the first user profile and displaying the first character, the first character associated with a first group of program or playlist information and indicating an identity of the user which the first user profile is associated with, the second user interface further displaying thumbnails corresponding to the first group of program or playlist information, and
wherein, in response to the selection of the second user profile, the display displays the second character and a second group of thumbnails corresponding to a second group of program or playlist information associated with the second user profile when the second character is selected, the first group of program or playlist information and the second group of program or playlist information including one program or playlist information that is the same;
a processor for removing one program or playlist information from the first group of program or playlist information after the input interface receives a selection to remove the one program or playlist information from the first group of program or playlist information associated with the first user profile; and
audio output circuitry configured to output an audio,
wherein, upon the one program or playlist information being removed from the first group of program or playlist information, the one program or playlist information continues to be included in the second group of program or playlist information for the second user profile and the second group of thumbnails continues to display a thumbnail corresponding to the one program or playlist information when the second character is selected,
wherein the processor decrypts second program or playlist information corresponding to a selected thumbnail when the input interface receives a selection of desired program or playlist information based on a selection of a thumbnail from the first group of thumbnails, and
wherein the display displays the decrypted program or playlist information.
