Abstract
In a picture reproducing apparatus, a scene changing point is detected with respect to contents, and then, a position where a temporal stopping operation is performed and a position where a reproducing operation is restarted are determined by using information of the detected changing point. In detecting the scene changing point, a plurality of threshold values are set to set a changing point level at the scene changing point. When the user instructs temporal stopping of reproduction of contents, the temporal stopping position is displayed to the user using the scene changing point level to allow the user to determine a temporal stopping position in a desirable level. When the user instructs restarting of the reproducing operation of the contents temporarily stopped, a reproduction restarting position is displayed by similarly using a scene changing point level to allow the user to determine a reproduction restarting position in a desirable level.
