REPRODUCTION DEVICE, REPRODUCTION METHOD, DISTRIBUTION DEVICE, DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, REPRODUCTION PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

A reproduction device (100) is provided with a streaming control unit (110) for acquiring a group of contents from N number of distribution devices, and a reproduction unit (120) for reproducing the group of contents. The reproduction unit (120) reads out the transmission delay of each distribution device that occurred during transmission from the distribution devices by referring to a transfer delay history table (155), and derives a period having a length corresponding to the transmission delay. Then, the reproduction unit (120) buffers the content of the longest period from among each period and begins reproducing the group of contents.
