US Patent 7719930 Apparatus and method for digital contents playback

A digital contents playback and a method for playing the same are provided. The digital contents playback comprises an arrangement unit for re-arranging digital contents stored in a recording medium by selecting a “breath first arrangement mode”, a “depth first arrangements mode” and a “disk all arrangement mode”. The “disk all arrangement mode” consists of a “filename first arrangement mode” and a “physical address first arrangement mode”. The “physical address first arrangement mode” arranges digital contents stored in the recording medium in physical address sequence. The arrangement unit arranges the digital contents to be suitable for a determined mode by user's selection, and the digital contents are played in the arranged sequence. When digital contents are arranged depending on the “physical address first arrangement mode” in a playback using a compact disk as a recording medium, driving distance of an optic pick-up module for playing digital contents on the compact disk is shortened, which results in reduction of power consumption and noise.
