Abstract
A reproducing apparatus for detecting a reproduction stop date when reproduction of image data is stopped in the past, and for determining a reproduction start position in the image data on a basis of the reproduction stop date, and further for starting the reproduction of the image data from the determined reproduction start position in response to an instruction of starting reproduction.
Claims27
A reproducing apparatus comprising:
- reproducing means for reproducing image data from a recording medium;
- determining means for detecting a reproduction stop date when reproduction of the image data is stopped in the past and determining a reproduction start position in the image data on a basis of the reproduction stop date;
- and
- control means for controlling said reproducing means so as to start the reproduction of the image data from the reproduction start position determined by said determining means in response to an instruction of starting reproduction.

A reproducing apparatus comprising:
- reproducing means for reproducing image data from a recording medium;
- determining means for detecting a reproduction stop date when reproduction of the image data is stopped in the past and a reproduction stop position at a time of the reproduction stop and determining a reproduction start position in the image data on a basis of the reproduction stop date and the reproduction stop position;
- and
- control means for controlling said reproducing means so as to start reproducing of the image data from the reproduction start position determined by said determining means in response to an instruction of starting reproduction.
1 more element
A reproducing apparatus comprising:
- reproducing means for reproducing image data from a recording medium;
- reproduction instruction means for instructing a reproduction start of the image data;
- stop position detecting means for detecting a stop position of a last reproduction stop of the image data;
- reproduction position determining means for selecting any one of a first position corresponding to the stop position detected by said stop position detecting means, a second position corresponding to a head position of the image data, and a third position located between the first position and the second position as a reproduction start position according to a time period elapsing from the last reproduction stop of the image data to an instruction of the reproduction start by said reproduction instruction means;
- and
- control means for controlling said reproducing means so as to reproduce the image data from the reproduction start position selected by said reproduction position determining means in response to the instruction of the reproduction start by said reproduction instruction means.
3 more elements
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing image data from a recording medium in response to a reproduction start instruction, wherein
- wherein said apparatus detects a time period elapsing from a last stop of reproduction of the image data to the reproduction start instruction on a basis of stop date information indicating a date of a last stop of reproduction of the image data, and
- wherein said apparatus starts reproduction of the image data from a head of the image data when the elapsed time period exceeds a predetermined time period, and starts the reproduction of the image data from a position immediately before a position of the last stop of the reproduction of the image data when the elapsed time period is shorter than the predetermined time period.
A reproducing method comprising the steps of:
- reproducing image data from a recording medium;
- detecting a reproduction stop date when reproduction of the image data is stopped in the past and determining a reproduction start position in the image data on a basis of the reproduction stop date;
- and
- controlling said reproducing step so as to start the reproduction of the image data from the reproduction start position determined in said detecting step in response to an instruction of starting reproduction.
1 more element
A reproducing method comprising the steps of:
- reproducing image data from a recording medium;
- detecting a reproduction stop date when reproduction of the image data is stopped in the past and a reproduction stop position at a time of the reproduction stop and determining a reproduction start position in the image data on a basis of the reproduction stop date and the reproduction stop position;
- and
- controlling said reproducing step so as to start reproducing of the image data from the reproduction start position determined in said detecting step in response to an instruction of starting reproduction.
1 more element
A reproducing method comprising the steps of:
- reproducing image data from a recording medium;
- instructing a reproduction start of the image data;
- detecting a stop position of a last reproduction stop of the image data;
- selecting any one of a first position corresponding to the stop position detected at said detecting step, a second position corresponding to a head position of the image data, and a third position located between the first position and the second position as a reproduction start position according to a time period elapsing from the last reproduction stop of the image data to an instruction of the reproduction start in said instructing step;
- and
- controlling said reproducing step so as to reproduce the image data from the reproduction start position selected in said selecting step in response to the instruction of the reproduction start in said instructing step.
3 more elements
A reproducing method for reproducing image data from a recording medium in response to a reproduction start instruction, comprising the steps of:
- detecting time period elapsing from a last stop of reproduction of the image data to the reproduction start instruction on a basis of stop date information indicating a date of a last stop of reproduction of the image data, and
- starting reproduction of the image data from a head of the image data when the elapsed time period exceeds a predetermined time period, and starting the reproduction of the image data from a position immediately before a position of the last stop of the reproduction of the image data when the elapsed time period is shorter than the predetermined time period.
