Abstract
Abstract A recording apparatus (100) for recording record information onto a record medium (DKo) to be reproduced by a reproducing apparatus (200), is provided with: a process device (3) for dividing the record information into a plurality of partial record informations on the basis of material content information, which indicates a material content of the record information and is given from the external; a controller (6) for generating reproduction control information to control the reproducing apparatus to reproduce the partial record informations in a predetermined order, which is set in advance or which is based on a condition given to the reproducing apparatus from the external at a time of reproduction; and a recording device (7, 8, 9) for recording the partial record informations and the reproduction control information onto the record medium.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
An apparatus (100) for recording record information onto a record medium (DKo) to be reproduced by a reproducing apparatus (200), characterized in that said recording apparatus (100) comprising: a process means (3) for dividing the record information into a plurality of partial record informations (Sr) on the basis of material content information (Dq), which indicates a material content of the record information and is given from the external; a controller (6) for generating reproduction control information (Sad) to control said reproducing apparatus to reproduce the partial record informations in a predetermined order, which is set in advance or which is based on a condition given to said reproducing apparatus from the external at a time of reproduction; and a recording means (7, 8, 9) for recording the partial record informations and the reproduction control information onto the record medium.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
40 words
An apparatus (100) according to Claim 1, characterized in that said controller (6) generates the reproduction control information comprising branch destination information for specifying at least one second partial record information to be branched from a first partial record information.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
An apparatus (100) according to Claim 2, characterized in that the branch destination information comprises reproduction level information for said reproducing apparatus to judge whether the reproduction of each partial record information to be branched is permitted or prohibited by a level indicated by the reproduction level information.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
92 words
An apparatus (100) according to Claim 2, characterized in that the branch destination information comprises branch timing information for said reproducing apparatus to judge, in a case that a branch command is given to said reproducing apparatus from the external, whether the branch command causes said reproducing apparatus to immediately branch into the partial record information at a branch destination or to branch into the partial record information at the branch destination after finishing the reproduction of the partial record information presently reproduced at a timing when the branch command is given.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
75 words
An apparatus (100) according to Claim 2, characterized in that the branch destination information comprises random branch information to cause, in a case that a branch command is generated in said reproducing apparatus, said reproducing apparatus to randomly select a branch destination from a predetermined plurality of partial record informations after finishing the reproduction of the partial record information presently reproduced at a timing when the branch command is generated, so as to branch thereto.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
50 words
An apparatus (100) according to any one of Claims 1 to 5, characterized in that said controller (6) generates the reproduction control information comprising pre-branch reproduction control information for controlling a reproduction state of said reproducing apparatus before branching with respect to at least one of the partial record informations.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
An apparatus (100) according to Claim 6, characterized in that the pre-branch reproduction control information comprises still image reproduction time information, which indicates a time duration for performing a still image reproduction, or repeat reproduction time information, which indicates a time duration for performing a repeat reproduction.
