<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for temporally pausing and resuming presentation of programs. <P>SOLUTION: An operations center stores a plurality of programs, some of which are prerecorded, and some of which are in the process of being recorded. The user can use different pause modes. In a selective pause mode, the user can selectively pause an individual program. This prompts the storage of a bookmark which indicates a pause position in the individual program. In a all-pause mode, the user can pause a plurality of programs at the same time. This prompts the storage of a plurality of bookmarks that are associated with the plurality of programs. In a third pause mode, the user can automatically pause a program by the act of switching from that program to another program. This prompts the storage of a bookmark which indicates the position in the program from which the user has been switched over. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
