Abstract
In an information processing apparatus and method in which a variety of data about sound contents is recorded, a predetermined number of data about sound contents is recorded in a main table in a display data file (182) while other types of data about sound contents are recorded in a sub table in the display data file (182) as data which increase the types of data recorded in the main table.
Claims8
An information processor comprising:
- a first recording means for relating a predetermined number of types of data about a first content as a first main data group with the first content and recording the data;
- and
- a second recording means for relating data of types other than the first main data group about the first content and recording in a sub data group;
- the first recording means relating a predetermined number of types of data about the second content as a second main data group with the second content and recording the data, and the second recording means relating data of types other than the second main data group about the second content with the second content and recording the data in the sub data group.
The apparatus according to clam 1, wherein the second recording means records, as the other types of data, data used to control a device using the contents
An information processing method comprising:
- a first recording step of relating a predetermined number of types of data about a first content as a first main data group with the first content and recording the data;
- and
- a second recording step of relating data of types other than the first main data group about the first content and recording in a sub data group;
- a predetermined number of types of data about the second content being related as a second main data group with the second content and recorded at the first recording step;
- and
- data of types other than the second main data group about the second content being related with the second content and recorded in the sub data group at the second recording step.
A program storage medium having stored therein a computer-readable program for use in the above information processing apparatus and method, the program comprising:
- a first recording step of relating a predetermined number of types of data about a first content as a first main data group with the first content and recording the data;
- and
- a second recording step of relating data of types other than the first main data group about the first content and recording the data in a sub data group;
- a predetermined number of types of data about the second content being related as a second main data group with the second content and recorded at the first recording step;
- and
- data of types other than the second main data group about the second content being related with the second content and recorded in the sub data group at the second recording step.
