摘要

Disclosed is a data structure for perception effect information that is referenced by a control device in order to control a perception effect reproduction device that reproduces a perception effect. The control device contains: control commencement time point specifying information that specifies the time point for commencement of control, at which control of the perception effect reproduction device is to be commenced in order to reproduce the perception effect, and reproduction commencement time information that specifies the reproduction commencement time point at which reproduction of the perception effect should be commenced by the perception effect reproduction device. A data structure is employed wherein the control commencement time is set to be prior to the reproduction commencement time, by at least a reference period that is required for commencement of reproduction of the perception effect by the perception effect reproduction device after reception of control for reproduction of the perception effect. A technique for reproduction of the perception effect with the correct timing can thereby be provided.
