Patent ID: 8761571

Claim:
A reproduction apparatus comprising: a position-information acquisition unit configured to acquire first position information indicating a position at a first time and second position information indicating a position at a second time that is later than the first time; a movement determination unit configured to compare the first position information and the second position information to determine whether or not the reproduction apparatus is moved; a reproduction unit configured to reproduce information stored in a recording medium in a first mode if it is determined that the reproduction apparatus is moved and to reproduce the information stored in the recording medium in a second mode different from the first mode if it is determined that the reproduction apparatus is not moved, the first mode being a reproduction mode having functions for use in reproduction more restricted than the second mode; and a vibration determination unit configured to determine whether or not vibration occurs based on a signal related to vibration, wherein the reproduction unit reproduces the information stored in the recording medium in the first mode when at least either one of a first case and a second case is established, the first case being a case in which the movement determination unit determines that the reproduction apparatus is moved and the second case being a case in which the vibration determination unit determines that vibration occurs, and reproduces the information stored in the recording medium in the second mode when both of a third case and a fourth case are established, the third case being a case in which the movement determination unit determines that the reproduction apparatus is not moved and the fourth case being a case in which the vibration determination unit determines that vibration does not occur.
