Recording and reproducing apparatus, processing method in the apparatus, and program for causing computer to execute the method

A recording and reproducing apparatus comprising:

• a distributed data holding unit that holds recorded distributed data, said distributed data including video data and music data of background music in a television program;
• a music data detecting unit including a processor programmed to detect a start time and an end time of music data included in the broadcast data;
• a first song information searching unit that searches first song information including metadata concerning the music data of the background music on the basis of a characteristic waveform of the music data;
• an association information creating unit that creates information in which the video data, the music data, the distributed data from the start time to the end time of the music data, and the first song information are associated with one another;
• and
• an association information holding unit that holds the information for subsequent simultaneous display of the video data, playback of the background music, and display of the first song information after retrieval of the information.

A distributed data processing method comprising the steps of:

• receiving and recording distributed data, said distributed data including video data and music data of background music in a television program;
• detecting with a processor a start time and an end time of the music data included in the distributed data;
• searching for song information including metadata concerning the music data of the background music on the basis of a characteristic waveform of the music data
• associating in a storage media information in which the video data, the music data, and the song information are associated with one another;
• and
• causing a display unit to simultaneously display the video data and the song information from the start time to the end time of the music data while playing back the background music.

A computer readable medium having computer readable instructions contained therein that when executed by a computer cause the computer to execute steps of:

• receiving and recording distributed data, said distributed data including video data and music data of background music in a television program;
• detecting with a processor a start time and an end time of the music data included in the distributed data;
• searching for song information including metadata concerning the music data of the background music on the basis of a characteristic waveform of the music data
• associating in a storage media information in which the video data, the music data, and the song information are associated with one another;
• and
• causing a display unit to simultaneously display the video data and the song information from the start time to the end time of the music data while playing back the background music.
