Patent ID: 7787342

Claim:
An information processing unit comprising: a reading section for reading information recorded in a recording medium; an information processing section that conducts a reproduction-processing of the information read by the reading section; a positional instruction recognizing section that recognizes a predetermined position of the information as a cue point; a change condition selecting section that selects change in a processing position of the reproduction-processing; a reproducing-condition changing section independent of the change condition selecting section, the reproducing condition changing section comprising a single device that detects both of a rotating operation and a touching operation including a pressing operation; and a processing control section that, when the change in the processing position is not selected by the change condition selecting section, stops the reproduction-processing by the information processing section on detecting the touching operation by the reproducing-condition changing section and executes the reproduction-processing by the information processing section in accordance with the rotating operation on detecting the rotating operation by the reproducing-condition changing section, and when the change in the processing position is selected by the change condition selecting section, changes start position of the reproduction-processing on detecting the touching operation by the reproducing-condition changing section to the cue point recognized by the positional instruction recognizing section and executes the reproduction-processing by the information processing section in accordance with the rotating operation on detecting the rotating operation by the reproducing-condition changing section.
