1. In a head mounted processing apparatus for providing various kinds of information to a user via a visual sense or an auditory sense in a state where the head mounted processing apparatus is worn on a head of the user, a method performed by the head mounted processing apparatus comprising the steps of:
displaying, by a display, a predetermined image;
capturing, by a camera, an image outside the head mounted processing apparatus;
executing, by a content executor, content;
controlling, by a content controller, the content executor; and
controlling, by the content controller, to:
associate, by a key content pair information register, when an event occurs to terminate the head mounted processing apparatus based on an instruction from the user or an apparatus termination signal, a state of the content at a time of event occurrence with a registration key obtained from a first image of the camera at the time of the event occurrence, and store the state of the content at the time of the event occurrence and the registration key in a memory as key content pair information; and
determine, by a key content pair restorer, when the head mounted processing apparatus is activated, whether or not a second image of the camera at a time of the apparatus activation conforms with the registration key, obtained from the first image of the camera at the time of the event occurrence, on a basis of the key content pair information, and restore the state of the content, at the time of the event occurrence, corresponding to the registration key which conforms with the second image in a case where the second image conforms with the registration key.
