Patent ID: 7755983

Claim:
An optical disc reproducing apparatus comprising: a buffer memory configured to store data read from sectors of an optical disc; a determination unit configured to determine whether first data read from a first sector of the sectors is stored in the buffer memory when the first sector is designated; a deleting unit configured to delete all of the data stored in the buffer memory based on a determination result of the determination unit indicating that the first data is not stored in the buffer memory; a controlling unit configured to cause the buffer memory to store the first data and second data read from a second sector other than the first sector after the deleting unit has deleted all of the data stored in the buffer memory; and an output unit configured to output the first data stored in the buffer memory to a processing circuit configured to reproduce the information when the first sector of the sectors is designated, and thereafter output the second data stored in the buffer memory to the processing circuit when the second sector of the sectors is designated.
