INFORMATION REPRODUCTION APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

An information reproduction apparatus (200) comprises a reproduction means (353), a first control means (354), a determination means (354), and a second control means (354). The reproduction means (353) reproduces foregoing content data that are started to be reproduced until startup of an application for controlling ordinary content data and the reproduction of the ordinary content data is completed. The first control means (354) controls the reproduction means so that the start of reproduction of the foregoing content data is delayed from the start of starting up the application by a predetermined period. The determination means (354) determines whether or not an instruction associated with the reproduction is received in the predetermined period. The second control means (354) controls the reproduction means so as to start reproduction of the foregoing content data if it is determined that the instruction is not received.
