Digital information recording apparatus, reproducing apparatus and transmitting apparatus
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- a receiver which receives audio/video information and a control information related to the audio/video information, the control information including a first period for retaining the audio/video information on a recording medium and a second period for enabling reproduction of the audio/video information recorded on the recording medium after the audio/video information is initially accessed for reproduction from the recording medium;
a recorder which records audio/video information received by the receiver to the recording medium; and
a reproducer which reproduces audio/video information recorded by the recorder from the recording medium,wherein the reproducer enables reproduction of the audio/video information from the recording medium in a case where an elapsed time from the recording of the audio/video information is within the first period and an elapsed time from the initial access of the audio/video information is within the second period, and disables reproduction of the audio/video information from the recording medium in a case where an elapsed time from the recording of the audio/video information is out of the first period even if the audio/video information is initially accessed for reproduction at a timing when a remaining time of the first period is less than the second period and an elapsed time from the initial access of the audio/video information is within the second period.
