Dependent claims

An information device comprising:

a database unit stored with moving picture data associated with identifying information for identifying the moving picture data;
an accepting unit to accept a read request for the moving picture data specified by the identifying information from any one of a plurality of applications which reproduce the moving picture data;
a data management unit to read the moving picture data specified by the read request from the database unit and handing over the moving picture data to the application making the read request;
and
an execution unit to execute the plurality of applications which reproduce the moving picture data handed over from the data management unit;
wherein the information device further comprises a data range accepting unit to accept an input of allowable data range allowed to become a processing target by the application and
the database unit is stored with the input allowable data range together with the moving picture data.

A computer readable medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to manage a database unit stored with moving picture data associated with identifying information for identifying the moving picture data, the executable instructions causing the computer to perform:

accepting a read request for the moving picture data specified by the identifying information from any one of a plurality of applications which reproduce the moving picture data;
and
reading the moving picture data specified by the read request from the database unit and handing over the moving picture data to the application making the read request;
wherein the executable instructions further causes the computer to accept an input of the allowable data range allowed to become a processing target by the application;
and
to store the input allowable data range together with the moving picture data.
