PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance security in transmitting key information to a user from an information provider, and also surely identify the user.SOLUTION: An information providing device 200 distributes an information medium holding encrypted information to a user terminal 400. The information providing device 200 and the user terminal 400 establish a communication network between the information providing device 200 and the user terminal 400, and exchange information via the communication network. The information providing device 200 encrypts key information required for decrypting the encrypted information in the information medium, by using information such as an apparatus number of the user terminal 400 or a reading device ID. The user terminal 400 decrypts the encrypted key information transmitted from the information providing device 200 by using information such as the apparatus number of the user terminal 400 or the reading device ID, and further decrypts the encrypted information read out from the information medium by using the decrypted key information.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical disk unit which carries out multi-beam recording by means of one laser beam source. SOLUTION: A laser beam of recording power emitted from a semiconductor laser 11 is distributed to a plurality of laser beams in power in an optical switch part 21. The power modulation of these laser beams is performed by respectively corresponding optical modulators 27, 28, 29 and 30 according to a recording signal for every channel. The plurality of laser beams to which the power modulation has been applied are converged on the signal recording surface of an optical disk 1 through an objective lens 39 so that the laser beams form independent recording spots on the signal recording surface of the optical disk 1.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To permanently erase the data of high secrecy with a simple method by causing a control system, which prohibits recording to a recorded area, to be temporarily incompetent and executing double writing when the recording data of a disk are erased. CONSTITUTION:The level signal of reflection factor from a comparing circuit 5 and a radio frequency RF signal from an RF detecting circuit 6 are inputted to a discriminating circuit 7 and the condition of a recording area is identified by input data. When an erase signal is inputted to the circuit 7, even in case that the circuit 7 identifies a recorded condition, an R.OK signal is outputted to a laser power control part 2 and the recording of an FM signal can be further executed in a recorded place. The double writing is executed and the recording data are destroyed. Then, the data can not be read. Thus, when the data of the high secrecy are erased, the control function of the discriminating circuit is temporarily canceled and the double writing is executed. Then, the permanent erase of the data can be easily executed.
