Abstract
A contents reproduction apparatus is provided that can resume reproduction according to the viewer. A CPU of a television executes the steps of: sending to a camera a command to pick up an image in response to input of an instruction to display a contents list; sending to an analysis unit a command to analyze image data of the person who inputs the instruction to display; specifying the person who inputs; sending data for displaying the list; detecting input of an instruction to select contents; calculating a backward amount in the case where the input instruction is an instruction to reproduce the same contents; and sending a command to reproduce the contents from a position preceding by the backward amount.
