<p>A signal for designating a portion of information regions of a recording medium is sent from an external apparatus to an information processing apparatus so as to cause the information processing apparatus to record information on the designated portion of the information regions or to reproduce information from the designated portion of the information regions. The information regions of the recording medium consist of a specific region and a remaining region. It is determined whether the designated portion of the information regions falls within the specific region or the remaining region. When the designated portion of the information regions is determined to fall within the specific region, the recording of information is interrupted or the reproduction of information is interrupted. <IMAGE></p> |
