Reproduced data output apparatus and computer program product

A computer program product causing a controller unit of a reproduced data output apparatus connected to an external instrument having a reproduction function of a content to execute the steps of:

• a first step of identifying a status of a present operation of the external instrument;
• a second step of identifying an occurrence of an event;
• a third step of determining whether an operation status report signal indicating that a status of a present operation of the external instrument is a status of a different operation is reported from the external instrument, in response to that the second step identifies an occurrence of an event during a status of a first operation being identified by the first step as a status of a present operation of the external instrument;
• and
• a fourth step of transmitting a command that requires a re-start of the first operation to the external instrument, in response to that the third step determines that the operation status report signal is reported from the external instrument.

A reproduced data output apparatus, comprising:

• a vehicular reproduced data receiver section configured to receive a reproduced data of a content from a portable information terminal having a reproduction function of the content;
• a reproduction status identifier section configured to identify a status of a present reproduction of the content of the portable information terminal;
• an event occurrence identifier section configured to identify an occurrence of an event relating to data communication;
• a report determiner section configured to determine whether a reproduction status report signal indicating that a status of a present reproduction of the portable information terminal is a status of a different reproduction is reported from the portable information terminal, in response to that the event occurrence identifier section identifies an occurrence of an event during a status of a first reproduction being identified by the reproduction status identifier section as a status of a present reproduction of the portable information terminal;
• and
• a command transmission controller section configured to transmit a command that requires a re-start of the first reproduction to the portable information terminal, in response to that the report determiner section determines that the reproduction status report signal is reported from the portable information terminal.
