Abstract:
1. A contents reproducing device comprising: a reproduction data generating unit operable to generate reproduction data to be reproduced as contents; a reproduction data storing unit in which said reproduction data generated by said reproduction data generating unit is stored; and a reproduction data processing unit operable to read said reproduction data from said reproduction data storing unit in real time, and to reproduce said reproduction data read from said reproduction data storing unit, wherein said contents reproducing device further comprises: a reproduction data generation control unit operable to control said reproduction data generating unit to have said reproduction data generating unit perform an intermittent operation having a cycle time and a cycle start time by generating said reproduction data at a rate faster than a rate at which said reproduction data is read from said reproduction data storing unit; an input operation unit to be operated to have said contents reproducing device transit from one state to another state; and a system state determining unit operable to determine whether or not a state of said contents reproducing device resulting from the transition by the operation of said input operation unit has a possibility that a reproducing state of said reproduction data processing unit would be changed, said reproduction data generation control unit changes the cycle time or the cycle start time of said intermittent operation, when a state of said contents reproducing device has a possibility that a reproducing state of said reproduction data processing unit would be changed, before a reproducing state of said reproduction data processing unit is changed, while said reproduction data processing unit is reproducing said reproduction data.
