Selection control method of a reproduction apparatus.

摘要

A selection control method having a reproduction control data structure compatible with two different selection control methods comprises a first control method for displaying in a single frame plural selectors to each of which has been added a numerical identifier, and controlling operation by means of branch tables grouping branch data according to the selector numbers, which are selected by the user; and a second control method for visually differentiating the user-specified selector and the other selectors as a means of prompting user confirmation of the specified selector when the plural selectors are displayed in a single frame, and controlling operation by means of the branch data of the selection confirmed by the user. Branch data usable by both the first control method and the second control method is grouped together by providing the branch data used by the second control method in the branch table used by the first control method.
