主权项

1. A reproducing apparatus having a CPU and a memory used by the CPU, comprising:
a reproducing unit that reproduces a movie signal of a plurality of scenes from a recording medium; a detection unit that detects an appearance point at which a feature image appears and a disappearance point at which the feature image disappears in a movie corresponding to the movie signal reproduced by the reproducing unit; an instruction receiving unit that receives, during the reproduction of the movie signal by the reproducing unit, a predetermined instruction for instructing a skip of a reproduction position of the movie signal being reproduced; and a control unit that detects, in response to the predetermined instruction received by the instruction receiving unit during the reproduction of the movie signal, the reproduction position of the movie signal of when the instruction receiving unit receives the predetermined instruction and controls the reproducing unit based on the reproduction position of the movie signal of when the predetermined instruction is received by the instruction receiving unit, wherein the control unit determines whether the reproduction position of the movie signal of when the predetermined instruction is received by the instruction receiving unit during the reproduction of the movie signal is a position within a predetermined period from the disappearance point detected by the detection unit and controls the reproduction unit in accordance with a result of the determination, and wherein if it is determined that the reproduction position of the movie signal of when the predetermined instruction is received by the instruction receiving unit is the position within the predetermined period from the disappearance point, the control unit selects the nearest appearance point to the reproduction position of the movie signal of when the predetermined instruction is received by the instruction receiving unit among a plurality of the appearance points detected by the detection unit and controls the reproducing unit to skip the reproduction position of the movie signal to a reproduction position associated with the selected appearance point, and if it is determined that the reproduction position of the movie signal of when the predetermined instruction is received by the instruction receiving unit is not the position within the predetermined period from the disappearance point, the control unit controls the reproduction unit to skip the reproduction position of the movie signal to a head position of the scene.
