Method and apparatus for reproducing content data

A method of reproducing a content, the method comprising steps of:

• detecting a motion of a person;
• predicting a timing of the motion of the person, based on the motion detected in the detecting step;
• and
• controlling the reproduction of the content by synthesizing a timing indicated by timing information corresponding to the content to be reproduced with the timing of the motion of the person, predicted in the predicting step.

An apparatus for reproducing a content, the apparatus comprising:

• a reproduction processing unit reproducing the content;
• a detecting unit detecting a motion of a person;
• a predicting unit predicting a timing of the motion of the person, based on an output from the detecting unit;
• and
• a control unit controlling the reproduction processing unit in the reproduction of the content by synthesizing a timing indicated by timing information corresponding to the content to be reproduced with the timing of the motion of the person, predicted by the predicting unit.
