Replay apparatus and content evaluation method
First Claim
1. A replay apparatus including a skip function, which is initiated if a skip button is pressed, for stopping a replay operation to restart at the next content after skipping during the replay operation of one of a plurality of stored contents, the replay apparatus comprising:
- measuring means for measuring an elapsed time from a replay start time of a content and a time when the content is skipped;
evaluating means for giving an evaluation value reflecting a preference of a user to the replayed content that is skipping based on the elapsed time; and
creating means for creating preference information by registering the given evaluation value in association with the replayed content.
