Content processing apparatus

摘要

A content processing apparatus includes a clock circuit (40). The clock circuit counts time with reference to a first start-up time. A flash memory (32) holds a storage period (TC). A recording time based on a time of the clock circuit is embedded in a JPEG file to be recorded in a hard disk (26a). When accepting an instruction to reproduce the JPEG file, a CPU (42) calculates a boundary time (TE) based on a current time of the clock circuit and the storage period. Then, if the recording time of the JPEG file is earlier than the boundary time, the CPU disables a reproduction process of the JPEG file by a JPEG codec.
