Data outputting device, data outputting method, data outputting program, and recording medium

A data outputting method, comprising:

• an electronic data outputting step of sending, to a content playback device, electronic data representing a content;
• an audio data outputting step of sending, to an audio playback device, audio data associated with said electronic data and representing a sound;
• a switching step of carrying out switching from said electronic data to another electronic data different from said electronic data such that said another electronic data is to be sent to the content playback device;
• a sameness judging step of judging whether or not said audio data and said another audio data associated with said another electronic data are identical to each other;
• and
• an audio data continuous outputting step of keeping on sending said audio data to the audio playback device when it is judged in the sameness judging step that the audio data and the another audio data are identical to each other.

A data outputting program for operating a data outputting device including:

• (a) electronic data outputting means for sending, to a content playback device, electronic data representing a content;
• (b) audio data outputting means for sending, to an audio playback device, audio data associated with said electronic data and representing a sound;
• and (c) sameness judging means for judging, when the electronic data outputting means carries out switching from said electronic data to another electronic data different from said electronic data such that said another electronic data is to be sent to the content playback device, whether or not said audio data and said another audio data associated with said another electronic data are identical to each other;
• when the sameness judging means judges that said audio data and said another audio data are identical to each other, the audio data outputting means keeping on sending said audio data to the audio playback device,
• said data outputting program causing a computer to function as the respective means.

A computer-readable recording medium for storing a data outputting program for operating a data outputting device including:

• (a) electronic data outputting means for sending, to a content playback device, electronic data representing a content;
• (b) audio data outputting means for sending, to an audio playback device, audio data associated with said electronic data and representing a sound;
• and (c) sameness judging means for judging, when the electronic data outputting means carries out switching from said electronic data to another electronic data different from said electronic data such that said another electronic data is to be sent to the content playback device, whether or not said audio data and said another audio data associated with said another electronic data are identical to each other;
• when the sameness judging means judges that said audio data and said another audio data are identical to each other, the audio data outputting means keeping on sending said audio data to the audio playback device, said data outputting program causing a computer to function as the respective means.
