REPRODUCTION DEVICE AND REPRODUCTION METHOD

摘要

An audio controller (8) controls audio reproduction characteristic and a video controller (11) controls video reproduction characteristic. A sight line detector (14) detects whether the user sight line is directed to a display (13) of a television receiver. According to a detection signal from the sight line detector (14), a judgment section (15) judges whether the current state is a normal viewing state, "two-things at a time" state, or the "concentration" state and generates a control signal for controlling the reproduction characteristic according to each of the states. When the "two-things at a time" state is judged to have been changed to the "concentration" state, the sound volume is reduced so that automatically switched to the state not causing interference.
