CONTENTS REPRODUCING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A contents reproducing device comprising:
- a reproduction data generating unit operable to generate reproduction data to be reproduced as contents;
a reproduction data storing unit in which said reproduction data generated by said reproduction data generating unit is stored; and
a reproduction data processing unit operable to read said reproduction data from said reproduction data storing unit in real time, and to reproduce said reproduction data read from said reproduction data storing unit, whereinsaid contents reproducing device further comprises;
a reproduction data generation control unit operable to control said reproduction data generating unit to have said reproduction data generating unit perform an intermittent operation by generating said reproduction data at a rate faster than a rate at which said reproduction data is read from said reproduction data storing unit;
an input operation unit to be operated to have said contents reproducing device transit from one state to another state; and
a system state determining unit operable to determine whether or not there is a possibility that a reproducing state of said reproduction data processing unit is changed,said reproduction data generation control unit changes a cycle of said intermittent operation, on the basis of said determination made by said system state determining unit, when said reproduction data processing unit is reproducing said reproduction data.

Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a contents reproducing device which can perform an intermittent operation with improved responsiveness to user request. The contents reproducing device according to the present invention includes: an input operation unit (1100), a system state managing unit (1210), a system information storing unit (1220), a contents reproduction control unit (A) (1230), a state after next candidate extracting unit (1240), a contents reproduction control determining unit (1250), and a contents reproducing unit (1300). The contents reproduction control determining unit (1250) determines whether or not a candidate related to the contents reproduction control is in the state after next candidates extracted by the state after next candidate extracting unit (1240). Therefore, the contents reproducing device according to the present invention can improve responsiveness to the user request by shortening the cycle of the intermittent operation of the contents reproducing unit (1300) when it is determined that there is a possibility that a user request related to the contents reproduction control is inputted, and by lengthening the cycle of the intermittent operation of the contents reproducing unit (1300) when it is determined that there is no possibility that a user request related to the contents reproduction control is inputted.
