To provide a server device, a reproduction device, a contents transmission method, a contents reproduction method, a contents reproduction system, and a program in which only a user who interrupted the reproduction of the contents, can resume the reproduction.
If the user presses an interruption button of a remote controller 212, an interruption order of the contents is sent to the reproduction device 200, and at the same time, the user's fingerprint is read by a fingerprint reader installed in the interruption button, and transmitted to the reproduction device. The reproduction device interrupts reproduction of the contents based on the interruption order, and at the same time, transmits the interrupted position data of the interrupted contents and the received fingerprint data to a home server 100. The home server 100 associates and memorizes both data. When the reproduction device resumes reproduction of the interrupted contents, the fingerprint data is transmitted again from a resume button of the remote controller to the home server 100, and the resume authority is authenticated. If the authentication passes, the contents are resumed from the interrupted position.
