Recording apparatus, reproducing apparatus, recording and reproducing apparatus, recording method, reproducing method, recording and reproducing method, and record medium

A recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:

• a content providing section that provides entertainment content comprising a movie, music, and/or a photo;
• a biological information measuring section that measures at least one user's biological information while the entertainment content is reproduced a first time and/or an environment measuring section that measures the at least one user's surrounding environment while the entertainment content is reproduced the first time;
• a sensing metadata generating section that generates sensing metadata using information detected by the biological information measuring section and/or the environment measuring section;
• a recording processing section that records in at least one storage medium the sensing metadata in association with the entertainment content;
• and
• a reproducing controlling section that reproduces the entertainment content a second time different from the first time, in an enhanced reproducing mode adapted, based on the sensing metadata, to reinforce the at least one user's memory of changes of the at least one user's emotion that occurred while the entertainment content was reproduced the first time and/or the at least one user's surrounding environment that was measured while the entertainment content was reproduced the first time, wherein reproducing the entertainment content the second time in the enhanced reproducing mode comprises adjusting one or more features within the entertainment content to cause the memory to recur.

A recording and reproducing method, comprising:

• generating, using at least one computer, sensing metadata using at least one user's biological information measured while entertainment content comprising a movie, music, and/or a photo is reproduced and environmental information measured from the at least one user's surrounding environment while the entertainment content is reproduced, the environmental information comprising at least one measurement of at least one characteristic selected from the group consisting of temperature, humidity, airflow volume, atmospheric pressure, weather, and location;
• recording in at least one storage medium the sensing metadata and the entertainment content such that the sensing metadata are associated with the entertainment content, and such that the environmental information is associated with the entertainment content that was being reproduced when the environmental information was measured;
• and
• reproducing the entertainment content a second time different from the first time, in an enhanced reproducing mode adapted, based on the sensing metadata, to reinforce the at least one user's memory of changes of the at least one user's emotion that occurred while the entertainment content was reproduced the first time and/or the at least one user's surrounding environment that was measured while the entertainment content was reproduced the first time, wherein reproducing the entertainment content the second time in the enhanced reproducing mode comprises adjusting one or more features within the entertainment content to cause the memory to recur.

A recording and reproducing method, comprising:

• generating sensing metadata using biological information measured from at least one user while entertainment content comprising a movie, music, and/or a photo is reproduced a first time and/or environmental information measured from the at least one user's surrounding environment while the entertainment content is reproduced the first time;
• recording in at least one storage medium the sensing meta data and the entertainment content such that the sensing metadata are associated with the entertainment content;
• and
• reproducing the entertainment content a second time different from the first time, in an enhanced reproducing mode adapted, based on the sensing metadata, to reinforce the at least one user's memory of changes of the at least one user's emotion that occurred while the entertainment content was reproduced the first time and/or the at least one user's surrounding environment that was measured while the entertainment content was reproduced the first time, wherein reproducing the entertainment content the second time in the enhanced reproducing mode comprises adjusting one or more features within the entertainment content to cause the memory to recur.
