Abstract
There is disclosed a data reproducing apparatus which reproduces AV digital data. A CPU of the data reproducing apparatus compares an object data pattern prepared from digital data which is a reproduction object with a data pattern for determining included in data for determining stored in a database. The CPU determines that the object data pattern is a reproduction prohibition object data pattern according to a comparison result when both the patterns are identical or similar to each other. The CPU executes reproduction processing including processing to remove data corresponding to the reproduction prohibition object data pattern with respect to the AV digital data.
Claims16
A data reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a buffer memory which stores digital data of a reproduction object;
- a storage unit which stores data for determining to determining a reproduction prohibition object data pattern;
- a determining unit which uses the data for determining to determine whether or not the digital data stored in the buffer memory includes the reproduction prohibition object data pattern;
- and
- a control unit which processes data corresponding to the reproduction prohibition object data pattern in accordance with a determining result of the determining unit and executes reproduction processing of the digital data except for the reproduction prohibition object data pattern.
A method of reproducing digital data comprising:
- storing the digital data which is a reproduction object in a buffer memory;
- preparing an object data pattern from the digital data;
- comparing a data pattern for determining to identify a reproduction prohibition object data pattern with the object data pattern, and determining that the object data pattern is the reproduction prohibition object data pattern, when the data pattern for determining is identical or similar to the object data pattern;
- and
- processing data corresponding to the reproduction prohibition object data pattern to execute reproduction processing of the digital data except for the reproduction prohibition object data pattern.
