Synchronous information reproduction apparatus

A synchronous information reproduction apparatus comprising:

• a storing section that is provided for storing a plurality of object information;
• a reproduction point generating section that is provided for generating location information indicative of respective reproduction points of the plurality of the object information stored in the storing section;
• a reproducing section that is provided for reading and reproducing the plurality of the object information concurrently with one another from the storing section based on the respective reproduction points generated by the reproduction point generating section;
• an outputting section that is provided for outputting contents of the plurality of the object information reproduced by the reproducing section;
• and
• a reproduction point correcting section that is provided for measuring a time duration of each object information from a start of reproduction process of the object information by the reproducing section till an actual output of the object information from the outputting section, and for correcting the respective reproduction points of the plurality of the object information in accordance with the measured time duration of each object information.

A synchronous information reproduction method of reproducing one or a plurality of object information stored in a storing section in synchronization with a clock signal, comprising:

• a reception step of sequentially receiving the clock signal;
• a generation step of generating location information indicative of a reproduction point of the object information;
• a reproduction step of reading and reproducing the object information from the storing section based on the reproduction point generated by the generation step;
• a synchronization step of synchronizing an incremental speed of the reproduction point generated by the generation step with a reception timing of the clock signal based on a reception time interval of the clock signals;
• and
• an output step of outputting contents of the object information reproduced by the reproduction step.
