    Abstract: An image pickup apparatus 1 comprises an image pickup section 3 incorporating a pickup sensor, such as a CCD or CMOS sensor. Upon receipt of a user input such as camera shutter operation via input section 7, the apparatus records a plurality of images to temporary memory section 12 during the shutter operation period. Acceleration sensor 8 detects movement of the apparatus and the system controller 12 is able to determine the time at which apparatus movement is minimal. The controller is then able to select one of the plurality of images stored in temporary memory section 12 that most closely corresponds to minimal apparatus movement. The selected image is stored in storage section 9. If an image is not selected due to excessive detected movement, a warning may be output to the user, for example via sound-output section (ie speaker) 10. The apparatus aids the user to record an optimal image with minimized camera-shake resulting from unintentional movement of the apparatus.

    Abstract: A contents database 114 memorizes the discriminating information for discriminating contents and the temporal information as to the time of content duplication associated with the discriminating information. A recording program 113 acquires the discriminating information of contents to be duplicated and duplicates the contents in association with the acquired discriminating information and with the temporal information memorized in the contents database 114. This substantially prohibits duplication in large quantities without significantly impairing the interests of a user.

    Abstract: The music contents of plural different formats present e.g., on a sole personal computer are to be handled in a unified fashion as the copyright protection of the contents is maintained. An application for reproduction (A) 311 manages the music contents distributed from an EMD server A 4-1. A comprehensive contents management unit 315 manages the music contents distributed from an EMD server A 4-3 to transfer the music contents to a portable device 6-3. The UsageRule of music contents managed by the application for reproduction (A) 311 has the format different from that of the UsageRule of music contents managed by the comprehensive contents management unit 315. A reception interface 316 for EMD converts this format to handle plural contents in a unified fashion.

    Abstract: A client receives an encrypted content from a content server. The header of the content includes license-identifying information for identifying a license required in utilization of the content. The client requests a license server to transmit a license identified by the license-identifying information. When receiving the request for a license, the license server carries out a charging process before transmitting the license to the client. The client stores the license received from the license server. The stored license serves as a condition for encrypting and playing back the content. As a result, a content can be distributed with a high degree of freedom and only an authorized user is capable of utilizing the content.
