Abstract
A method of reproducing a content item includes monitoring an input operation. At the input operation, it is decided whether to update a resume position, based on a reproduction progress, the reproduction progress being determined with respect to a reference position. The method further includes determining whether the input operation corresponds to a linear or to a non-linear event, and updating the reference position if the input operation is a non-linear event.
