Abstract

A contents reproducing apparatus includes a main CPU, and in a radio mode, the main CPU causes a DSP to decode broadcast data included in a radio packet signal input via a LAN controller, and decoded PCM data is input to a D/A conversion circuit. Consequently, a sound of Internet radio broadcasting is output from a speaker. Then, when there is a telephone call, the main CPU switches to a telephone mode. That is, receiving speech data included in a telephone packet signal input via the LAN controller is decoded by the DSP, and decoded PCM data is input to a PCM codec. Consequently, a receiving speech sound is output from a speaker of a receiver. It is noted that in a case that a radio program during reception is a pay program, the main CPU does not switch to the telephone mode.

Dependent claims

A contents reproducing apparatus having a contents receiving function and a telephone function, comprising:

a call detecting means for detecting reception of a calling instruction of a telephone;
a first determining means for determining whether or not a pay content is being received now when said call detecting means detects the reception of said calling instruction;
a mode switching means for switching to a telephone mode when it is determined that said pay content is not being received by said first determining means;
and
a disabling means for disabling a mode switch by said mode switching means when it is determined that said pay content is being received by said first determining means.
