INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND TERMINAL APPARATUS

A terminal apparatus receives identification information for events transmitted sequentially in conjunction with occurrence of events; sequentially identifies estimated time points at which each event is estimated to occur; determines whether progress of the plurality of events has stopped depending on whether it receives identification information for each event at a corresponding estimated time point for each event; in each of a plurality of event groups obtained by temporally dividing events, when an estimated time point is reached for an earliest event among at least one event belonging to each event group, causes a playback device to play related information for the at least one event belonging to each event group, and when progress of events is determined to have stopped, defers update of related information, which the playback device caused to play, and then resumes update of played related information when identification information is received after the determination.
