Patent ID: 8233770

Claim:
A content reproducing apparatus, comprising: a data acquiring section for acquiring (i) content data, (ii) a program, and (iii) synchronization timing information for reproducing the content data, the synchronization timing information including (a) a time point in a time period during which reproduction of the content is carried out, and (b) an ID being associated with the time point and being a target with which a process is associated by use of the program, wherein the data acquiring section acquires the synchronization timing information and the program as separate files by accessing a non-transitory recording medium in which the synchronization timing information and the program are managed as the separate files; a program executing section for executing the program; and a synchronization control section for transmitting, referring to the synchronization timing information, the ID being associated with the time point when the reproduction reaches the time point, the synchronization control section transmitting the ID to the program executing section, the program, which is executed by the program executing section, being for registering a process in association with the ID so that the process will be invoked when the program executing section receives the ID from the synchronization control section, and the program executing section invoking and executing the process being associated with the ID, when the program executing section receives the ID from the synchronization control section.
