Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for enabling copy limit in accordance with a region and an age on data copy processing between media.SOLUTION: An information processor includes a data processing part for performing copy processing to record data recorded in a first medium to a second medium, and the data processing part references to copy limit information included in information received from a management server, compares the copy limit information with apparatus setting information set in a memory in the information processor to determine whether the copy processing is permitted according to the comparison result, and, under a condition that the copy processing is permitted, copies the data recorded in the first medium to the second medium. Alternatively, an attribute file having limit information is generated to be recorded to a copy destination. Only data permitted to be copied according to the copy limit is reproduced from the copy destination.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus, recording medium and method, capable of effectively preventing the unauthorized use of contents. SOLUTION: Contents including broken data different from right content configuration data are recorded in an information recording medium, and a conversion table in which conversion data as the right content configuration data as the object of replacement of broken data and setting position information with respect to the content of the converted data are recoded is stored in the information recording medium. When performing content playback processing, content configuration data is replaced with the converted data according to the conversion table recorded in the information recording medium. Even when the leakage of an encryption key corresponding to encrypted contents recorded in the information recording medium is generated, the playback of the content can be prevented from being executed in a device which cannot acquire the converted data, and the unauthorized use of the content is prevented.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for controlling use of content. SOLUTION: In a disk in which content can be recorded by a user, a physical mark which is identification information supporting the disk, and a medium ID which is identification information unique to the disk, are recorded at a manufacturing stage. In content recording, the medium ID or the medium ID and the physical mark are transmitted to a content providing server, and a token including signature data is received and recorded in the disk along with the content. When the content is reproduced, signature of the token is verified and recording of the physical mark is confirmed, and the content is reproduced on the basis of the confirmation. It is possible to strictly control use of content based on validity confirmation of the disk and the content providing server. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device, a recording medium, and a method for effectively preventing unauthorized use of a content. SOLUTION: A content containing broken data differed from valid content configuration data is recorded on an information recording medium, and conversion data that is valid content configuration data as a substitution object of the broken data and a conversion table recording setting position information for the conversion data to the content are recorded in the information recording medium. In content reproduction processing, processing for substituting the content configuration data by the conversion data is performed according to the conversion table recorded on the information recording medium. According to this structure, even if leak of an encryption key corresponding to an encrypted content recorded on the information recording medium is occurred, reproduction of the content is not executed in a device which cannot obtain the conversion data, and the unauthorized use of the content is prevented.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain configuration for executing prevention of unauthorized use of download content from a server or copy content from media, without fail. SOLUTION: In the configuration for storing the download content from the server or the copy content from the media into a local storage part, key data with high confidentiality is safely stored into memories other than the local storage part. According to this configuration, even when, for example, stored data of the local storage part is copied and leaked to the outside, the unauthorized use of the content is prevented by preventing leak of memory stored data. In addition, ID information, etc. unique to a device, which is stored in the memory is transmitted to the server, server signature data is received, and stored in the local storage part. According to the configuration, association between the stored content of the local storage part and the device becomes certain. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve the efficiency of processing by executing content copy processing while considering the use of resources in an information processor. SOLUTION: The processing sequence of processing by a first data processing part for executing acquisition processing from the server of copy permission information when executing content copy between media and a second data processing part for executing data conversion or copy recording processing accompanied by the content copy is set while considering the use of resources in an information processor. After the completion of processing by the first data processing part, a virtual machine configuring the first data processing part is shut down, and a memory area is opened, and data conversion or copy recording processing is started by a second data processing part. Thus, it is possible for each data processing part to execute data processing by securing a sufficient memory area, and to achieve efficient processing without generating any processing delay.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a configuration enabling secure data management for later data corresponding to a contents management unit. SOLUTION: In this configuration, later data retrieval information and access control information are set when the later data such as information created later or downloaded by a user in relation to the contents stored in an information recording medium is to be recorded in a hard disk or the like. This configuration makes it possible to retrieve a later data file based on the later data retrieval information, to acquire the later data, and to make individual access control of later data files based on the access control information. In the configuration, moreover, the retrieval information and the access control information are set in a common directory such as a studio-shared directory, too. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain a configuration for changing services to be provided such as reproducible content by using a media ID. SOLUTION: In the information processor for reproducing disk storage content, a configuration bit of the media ID which is recorded on the disk and set by disk or title is analyzed. The reproducible content is selected or a reproduction sequence is set in accordance with the above analysis result. By this configuration, a disk for rent is discriminated from a disk for sale by analyzing the media ID. The disks manufactured based on the same master without changing the disk storage content are different in service to be provided by changing the reproducible content in accordance with a disk provision route or the like.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide such constitution that reproduction of disk stored content is permitted for only the specified user. SOLUTION: An information processor performing content reproduction utilizing a play list in which content reproduction order information is recorded, transmits an identifier identifying content recorded in the disk to a server, receives the play list from the server, and executes reproduction processing of disk recorded content utilizing the play list. By this constitution, for example, disks are distributed to many and unspecified users, the play list is distributed to only client executing the prescribed procedure from the server, and reproduction of disk stored content can be permitted, setting of various reproducible content in accordance with the user can be performed easily.
