REPRODUCING DEVICE, REPRODUCING METHOD, REPRODUCING PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER -READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM ON WHICH REPRODUCING PROGRAM IS RECORDED

摘要

A reproducing device such that the waiting time until the first part to be viewed is reproduced is shortened and thus the operability by the user is improved, a computer-readable reproducing method, a reproducing program, and a recording medium on which a reproducing program is recorded are provided. A read control section (40) reproduces information read out of a recording medium. A reproduction operating section (20) receives an instruction to make a forward or backward skip. A controller (10) makes the skip time of one of the forward and backward skip longer than that of the other, determines the skip time according to either the forward or backward skip instruction, stops reproduction if one of the forward or backward skip instruction is received during the reproduction, moves the information read position by the skip time determined by a skip time determining section (11), and resumes the reproduction after the read position is moved.
