<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To download selected contents from a server to immediately reproduce and output the contents. <P>SOLUTION: Before selecting and determining one of a plurality of kinds of programs after accessing to a server 3, a user downloads streaming data S1A, S2A, S3A, etc., of contents concerning the plurality of kinds of programs in advance by specified data units one after another, and stores the downloaded streaming data S1A, S2A, S3A, etc., in a data memory 7. When any of the plurality of kinds of contents is selected and determined, the user reproduces and outputs the streaming data S1A concerning the selected and determined contents stored in the data memory 7. This greatly reduces waiting time for reproducing and outputting any program after selecting it, thereby surely reducing the user's stress resulting from the waiting time for outputting after selecting the program. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
