    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a device for providing electronic data such as a digital kiosk for pay or free of charge. SOLUTION: In the system and device for providing electronic data, a menu for designating data to provide is provided to a customer by another means, and after the data to be provided are previously determined, the identifier of these data are described on a memory card and inserted to a providing device. In the method for providing the menu to the customer, the menu is transferred from the providing device to an information terminal by radio, the menu is provided from a server by connecting the information terminal to the server of the Internet, or a storage medium previously describing the identifier of the data to provide is provided. Since the client occupies the providing device only during copying on the storage medium and data can be selected in parallel with copying, the wait time can be shortened.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display data that a user records in order under his taste and to make the user interface facilitated for a user himself by simultaneously logging in plural users from one user interface device. SOLUTION: When a desired television program is to be recorded in a data recording device 22 with a digital television 21 as one user interface, plural users previously inform the data recording device 22 of effect that they themselves use the digital television 21 from a user interface device represented by the digital television. At that time, a log-in operation for simultaneously depressing '1' and '2' of a key 51 or continuously depressing them within decided constant time is executed so that a remote controller designates the user by using the key 51 for identifying the user. Thus, convenience that a system is intimate to the user can be improved.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To conduct a recording of program table data on a portable recording medium even though the data are received after the medium is taken out. SOLUTION: A program table data control section 8 gives program table data to data recording section 9 which records the data on a portable recording medium 2. Then, the recording history is supplied to and held in a program data recording history control section 11. If unrecorded program table data are received after the medium 2 is taken out, the section 8 detects the reception of the data by using the recording history and records the data on a recording medium 4. If the medium 2 is inserted again, the section 8 records the data recorded in the medium 4 onto the medium 2.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To change flexibly an information storage area to be secured by optionally allocating an area for recording main information on a recording medium and changing the area allocated with an area allocation means based on related information when the related information is changed before starting to record. SOLUTION: A data related information analyzing part 13 analyzes program- related information, and a recording control part 14 issues the program identification data to the reserved program. The recording control part 14 compares the capacity of the area required for recording the program information shown by the program identification data with the capacity of the continuous or dispersed recording area on the recording medium existing in a data recording part 15 then to judge whether or not it is recordable. When a recordable, the recording control part 14 answers that effect to an interface part 17, and secures the area for recording the program in the continuous or dispersed recording area on one or plural recording media existing in the data recording part 15. When the recording are aren't secured, the recording control part 14 answers the recording is impossible.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reflect the request from a user as well as the wishes of a program information producer and a broadcasting business owner by determining the priority for every program which becomes a subject for automatic recording, recording the program which become the subject and reducing the amount of recorded data against the recorded program at prescribed timing. SOLUTION: Received program data are successively and automatically recorded in a program information recording section 7. Similarly, the program information received in synchronism with or asynchronously received with the program data are also successively recorded in the section 7. Then, a program information index for each program is prepared by a program information management section 6 and recorded in the program information control section 6. The priority included in the index is determined based on the information such as the program information, private information and the transmitting side set priority. In order to avoid the reduction in the amount of the data which are made possible for recording of the section 7, selectively erasing or a data change in terms of a program unit is executed.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily generate or reproduce a digest of partial scenes of a program which is being broadcast or video-recorded by providing a means which selects scenes to be used for digest generation out of scenes constituting stream information, etc. SOLUTION: A digest processing part 4 selects the scene IDs of scenes to be used for a digest of a program out of the scenes constituting the program. Further, the data on the selected scene IDs are held in order and supplied from a program storage part 3 to a digest storage part 8 and/or a reproducing device. Further, pointer information consisting of a series of groups of information for accessing the data of the scene IDs stored in the program storage part 3 is generated. The data of the scene IDs are supplied from the program storage part 3 to the digest storage part 8 and/or reproducing device by referring to the pointer information stored in a pointer information storage part 6.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the utilization efficiency of a limited physical storage medium by automatically generating a free area on the storage medium for storing files. SOLUTION: A file system 2 is judged to require automatic file erasure when the free area of the recording medium 3 decreases below a specific value or when the free area of the recording medium 3 is smaller than the file size of a file to be written. Once the necessity of the automatic file erasure is judged, an erased file selection pat 23 selects a file to be erased according to the priority of the respective files stored on the recording medium 3. Then a file erasure part 24 follows a procedure for erasing the selected file. Therefore, a free area is automatically generated on the storage medium for storing the file even when a user does not generate an erasure request plainly, and the limited storage capacity of the physical storage medium 3 can efficiently be utilized.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To reduce the capacity of a storage device, shorten a retrieval time, and detect an illegal duplication by rejecting reception when the date and time of a check is older than a specific date and time. CONSTITUTION: A check processing system 200 at a store where the check 101 is received certifies it and checks whether the issue date and time entered into the check body is older than the date and time counted back from the current date and time by a certain period by a date and time comparison part 14, and rejects the reception by an acceptance judging part 15 when the date and time are older. Further, the store identifier of a reception store is taken out of the check body and a store identifier comparison part 17 confirms that the identifier is its identifier stored in a storage identifier storage part 16, thereby rejecting the acceptance by the acceptance decision part 15 when it is different. Further, a check identifier is taken out of the check body and a check identifier retrieval part 21 performs retrieval from an accepted check identifier storage part 20 and judges as double issuing when the check having the same identifier has been already accepted, thereby rejecting the reception by the acceptance judging part 15.
