1. A content output device comprising:
- a first memory; and
a processor which executes a stored program to perform processes comprising;
outputting output details of content while sequentially changing the output details;
detecting, in response to an instruction being given by a user at an arbitrary timing while the output details of the content are being sequentially changed and outputted, an instruction timing of the instruction;
controlling to store the detected instruction timing in the first memory in association with the content;
judging whether the instruction timing has been stored in the first memory at a predetermined timing after a series of outputs of the output details of the content is completed;
specifying the output detail of the content that was outputted at a point of the instruction timing which is stored in the first memory, in response to a judgement that the instruction timing has been stored in the first memory at the predetermined timing; and
performing processing corresponding to the specified output detail,wherein the output details of the content each include link information associated therewith, andwherein the processing corresponding to the specified output detail is a process of outputting information of a link destination based on the link information associated with the specified output detail.

Abstract
In order to perform processing corresponding to an instruction or a reaction at appropriate timing when a predetermined instruction is given or a reaction by a user is made while content is being outputted, a CPU detects instruction timing when a predetermined user instruction is given for data outputted while pieces of data constituting content are being sequentially outputted; stores the detected instruction timing in an instruction information memory; specifies predetermined timing that comes later than the instruction timing stored in the instruction information memory as timing for performing processing in accordance with the user'"'"'s instruction; and performs the processing.

3. A content output apparatus for outputting content, comprising:
-
an output control section which outputs output details in the content while sequentially changing the output details; a content storage section which stores each of the output details of the content in association with each output timing; a detection control section which judges whether a reaction at an arbitrary timing has been made by a user while the output details of the content are being sequentially changed and outputted, and which detects a reaction timing of the reaction when the reaction is judged to have been made; a storage control section which causes the detected reaction timing to be stored in a reaction storage section in association with the content; a specification control section which judges whether the reaction timing has been stored in the reaction storage section at a predetermined timing after a series of outputs of the output details of the content is completed, reads out the reaction timing stored in the reaction storage section when the reaction timing is judged to have been stored, and specifies an output detail of the content that was outputted at a point of the reaction timing; and a processing execution control section which performs processing corresponding to the specified output detail, wherein the detection control section judges, when the user is judged to be near a location where the output details are being outputted, a specific voice based on analysis of a voice of the user or a change in a captured image of the user based on analysis of the captured image, and detects a judgment timing as the reaction timing. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6)
