  • Electronic apparatus, content reproduction method, and program
    Patent number: 8190762
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a reception section, a buffer section, a reproduction section, an operation reception section, a transmission section, and a control section. The reception section receives data of a content transmitted through streaming from a transmission apparatus. The buffer section buffers the received data. The reproduction section successively reads out and reproduces the buffered data. The operation reception section receives a pause operation and a resume operation regarding reproduction of the data. The transmission section transmits, in response to the pause operation and the resume operation, a pause request and a resume request regarding the reproduction to the transmission apparatus. The control section controls the buffer means to discard data overlapping data received after the resume request among the data buffered by the buffer means and buffer data identical to the discarded data, that is received after the resume request.
