Abstract
In a case where an inclination state of the portable reproduction device is changed from a reference state to another state in which a difference from the reference state in inclination is equal to or larger than a reference value and thereafter returns from the other state to the reference state, a determination unit determines whether or not the period of time elapsed after the inclination state starts changing from the reference state to the other state until the inclination state returns to the reference state is within a reference period of time. In a case where the determination unit determines that the period of time elapsed is within the reference period of time, a production control unit changes the reproduction position of the content data, based on a direction of inclination of the portable reproduction device in the other state relative to the reference state.
