Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To bill a user who obtains copies, when secondary distribution of contents is carried out, and to give an incentives to another user providing the copies. SOLUTION: Conetnts management information is collected into a contents distribution center from a terminal device which each user owns, so that distribution history information is created. The distribution history information comprises a destination ID indicating a destination user ID, a contents ID indicating the contents to be distributed to each user, a distributor ID indicating the distributor of the corresponding contents, and the use of the contents, Based on the distribution history information, for each user, the billing control part of a contents distribution center calculates the charge for using the contents and also calculates incentives for the secondary distribution of the contents and the use, if any, of the contents distributed secondarily.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly serve information such as audio and image information to many viewers and allow each viewer to freely and repetitively view audio and image information with high quality at any time even when each viewer is moving. SOLUTION: A transmitter side repetitively read data to be sent from a recording medium storing the data at a speed faster than a reproduction speed at a receiver side, separates the data into outline data, by which the outline of the entire data can be grasped, and supplement data that can restore the original data through the composition with the outline data, and repetitively transmits the outline data and the supplement data as full information in time division to the receiver side at a speed faster than the reproduction speed by the receiver side. The receiver side receives the outline data and the supplement data in time division that are transmitted from the transmitter side repetitively at the speed faster than the reproduction speed of the receiver side, composites the outline data and the supplement data, records the synthesized data to a recording medium and reproduces the outline data at the reproduction speed.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To flexibly use a storage area while carrying out efficient data transfer even if a free area where a file transferred from a transfer device is written can not be secured as a continuous area on a recording medium. SOLUTION: The transfer device notifies a recorder of file identification information and transfers data to a recording and reproducing device according to file request information which is reported from the recording and reproducing device and specifies the data constituting the file. Here, if the free area where the file transferred from the transfer device is written can not be secured as the continuous area on the recording medium on the recording and reproducing device, the transfer device divides the file into data of arbitrary length corresponding to dispersed free areas and transfers them, and manages the dispersedly recorded data as one file.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the localization of a writing possible area in a recording medium. SOLUTION: A recording medium 1 is constituted of plural flash memories. In a recording medium control part 42, the recording states of the plural flash memories are managed in a unit called as a block. In the recording medium control part 42, not less than one parallel blocks constituted of not less than one blocks for writing data to the recording medium 1 in parallel are constituted so that the sizes of writing possible areas are not localized in the plural flash memories, and data are written in parallel with the blocks constituting the parallel block as objects.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To reproduce plural pieces of information recorded on plural recording media continuously with simple constitution. CONSTITUTION:A reproducing control circuit 41 in an information reproducing device 1 is inputted with a reproducing order of information in a memory card beforehand from an input switch 5. When the release of connection between the information reproducing device 1 and the memory card is selected by control information from the input switch 5, a connection release circuit 42 controls a connection device 40a (40b), and releases the connection. When the control information of reproducing control interruption is sent to a reproducing control circuit 41 by the input switch 5, the reproducing control circuit 41 ends instantly reproducing control when e.g. the release of the connection is performed for the memory card while reproducing, or after the reproducing control is moved to another memory card, the circuit 41 informs the end state of the reproducing control to a connection release circuit 42 through a reproducing end information circuit 43.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To reproduce or record information being recorded or reproduced by controlling recording and reproducing operations in a time sharing manner. CONSTITUTION:When it is discriminated that an information recording and reproducing device 101 is controlled for reproduction from the state of a recording/reproduction selecting means 108, reproduction control means 106, etc., the address of recording area of the next reproduced information is designated after controlling the reproduction of information on a recording medium 102. When it is discriminated that the device 101 is selected for reproduction or repetitive reproduction, the information on the medium 102 is reproduced. Then, the device 101 is checked from the states of the means 108 and a recording control means 104 and, when the device 101 is engaged in recording control, the address of the next recording area is designated after the recording of input information is recorded in the device 101. Thereafter, the address of the area to be reproduced is designated. A memory management information temporarily recording means 103 completes memory control by recording updated information on the medium 102 when the means 103 detects that the power supply to the device 101 is cut off, or such a memory control completing state as the demounting of the medium 102 from the device 101, etc. When the memory control is not completed, the means 103 repeats the memory control. Thus, information can be reproduced or recorded during the recording or reproducing operations.
