Publication number: 20060257104Abstract: According to one embodiment, the contents of a DVD video disc can be reproduced by use of reproduction control information realized by a Markup language. It is possible to hold a resource whose life period has elapsed in a cache memory and use the resource again. Therefore, a data access manager, a file cache which temporarily stores a plurality of resources and a navigation manager (including a filecache manager) which processes management information used to manage a plurality of files held in the file cache and controls the data access manager are provided. The filecache manager registers a loaded resource into a first list if the resource lies within the life period and registers the resource into a second list and manages the same if the life period of the resource has expired.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2006Publication date: November 16, 2006Inventors: Yoichiro Yamagata, Kazuhiko Taira, Hideki Mimura, Yasuhiro Ishibashi, Takero Kobayashi, Seiichi Nakamura, Eita Shuto, Yasufumi Tsumagari, Toshimitsu Kaneko, Tooru Kamibayashi, Haruhiko Toyama, Shunichi Kawabata
