Content Presenting Device, Content Presenting Method, And Content Presenting Program
First Claim
1. A content presentation apparatus comprising:
- database registration readout control means for controlling registration and readout to a database installed in an internal storage medium storing one or a plurality of content data;
external storage medium reproduction control means for controlling reproduction to an external storage medium storing one or a plurality of said content data; and
presentation image generation means for transmitting the same retrieval key to said database registration readout control means and said external storage medium reproduction control means to retrieve said content data in a desired type, and then generating a content presentation image including a list of a content name of said content data corresponding to said retrieval key notified by said database registration readout control means and said external storage medium reproduction control means, wherein said database registration readout control means detects, based on said retrieval key supplied from said presentation image generation means, said content name of said content data corresponding to said retrieval key from said internal storage medium being under a control of said database registration readout control means, and then notifies said presentation image generation means of said detected content name; and
said external storage medium reproduction control means detects, based on said retrieval key supplied from said presentation image generation means, said content name of said content data corresponding to said retrieval key from said external storage medium being under a control of said external storage medium reproduction control means, and notifies said presentation image generation means of said detected content name.

Abstract
The present invention allows a user to select his/her desired music data easily. In the present invention, a database registration readout control module M2 detects an album name of music data corresponding to a retrieval key from a hard disk. A CD playback control module M3 and a MD playback control module M4 also detect an album name of music data corresponding to a retrieval key from a CD and a MD, respectively. A presentation image generation module M1 then generates a music presentation image including a list of album names. Therefore, music data in his/her desired types are easily presented without forcing him/her to check music data stored in various storage media. Thus, the user can select his/her desired music data easily.
