A reproducing device includes decoding processors and output controllers, and performs synchronous reproduction for reproducing a content item decoded by one of the decoding processors by at least two of the output controllers and separate reproduction for reproducing the content item decoded by one of the decoding processors by one of the output controllers. The reproducing device includes: a manager that manages an allowed number of reproductions of the content item; a determiner that determines, when a reproduction instruction is given, based on the allowed number of reproductions of the content item, whether the separate reproduction is possible and whether the synchronous reproduction is possible; and a controller that performs the separate or synchronous reproduction, based on the determination. The manager decrements by one the allowed number of reproductions of the content item when the separate reproduction is performed, and does not decrement it when the synchronous reproduction is performed.

Reproducing device, control device, control method, and computer-readable storage medium

A system, a method, and a device that can reproduce a reproduction target file recorded on a portable information recording medium and a network file acquired in response to a request of a content application are provided. In the system including video reproduction devices, the vehicle-mounted video reproduction device transmits an NF entry transmission request, stores a received NF entry as an NF table, acquires in advance an NF on the basis of a stored NF entry and stores it, and if it is determined that an NF entry corresponding to a reproduction target file exists in the NF table when an optical disc is reproduced in a player unit, executes a proxy response for reading an NF identified by the NF entry corresponding to the reproduction target file from an NF storage unit and for supplying it to the player unit.

Information reproduction system, information reproduction method, information reproduction device, and access analysis device

A slave device (), which is a communication device, receives and analyzes commands, and returns the results to a master device (). During the command analysis period, an IIC control unit () and a CPU (), which form a control unit, control an SCL control unit () so as to stop an SCL signal. When the value of a timer () is equal to or less than a threshold value, transmit data are saved in a transmission FIFO (), control for stopping the SCL signal is canceled, and in synchronization with the SCL signal, an SDA control unit () transmits the data saved in the transmission FIFO () to the master device (). When the value of the timer () exceeds the threshold value, control for stopping the SCL signal is canceled, the clock control unit is placed in a state to receive the clock signal, and the SDA control unit () is placed in a state to receive a slave address indicating a communication device that operates in the slave mode.

Communication device, communication method, and communication system

In a case where a first access request from a playback controller () is a request for requesting reading or writing in a local storage area (), a data access controller () causes a virtual-package-data file system processor () to perform reading or writing of virtual package data in the local storage area () with priority over the reading or writing of application data in an application data area () by a file system processor ().

Playback device, control method, and program

An information processing device including a reader unit connected through a connection switch to a first control section and a second control section. The first control section is connected to the connection switch by a first bus supporting a first specification. The second control section is connected to a conversion unit by a second bus supporting a second specification. The conversion unit is connected to the connection switch by a third bus supporting the first specification. When the connection switch connects the reader unit to the first control section, the second control section halts communication with the conversion unit, thereby avoiding unnecessary use of processing resources.

Information processing device and method

A reproducing device includes: one or more input source selectors for selecting content to reproduce; two or more decoding processors for decoding the content; two or more output controllers for reproducing and outputting the decoded content; an instruction reception unit for receiving a reproduction instruction specifying arbitrary content, to have the specified content reproduced and output by one of the output controllers; a reproducibility determiner for deciding, on a basis of usage conditions of the input source selectors and the decoding processors, whether or not the specified content can be reproduced with one of the decoding processors; a reproduction path determiner for designating, on a basis of the decision, which decoding processor and which output controller to use to reproduce the specified content; and a reproduction controller for using the designated decoding processor and output controller to reproduce the specified content.
