Abstract:
To provide a content distribution system which can prevent use of content which has been temporarily stored after the valid period. A content distribution system (1) including a license server (101) which issues a license, a content server (102) which transmits the content, a terminal device (103) which controls use of the content based on the issued license. The terminal device (103) does not allow the use of the received encrypted content when it is judged that the encrypted content received from the content server (102) is not the content received in real time.
Abstract:
This invention provides a license information management apparatus and the like that do not require a tamper resistance module with a large memory even in the case where a user possesses a large amount of content. A total control unit (113) specifies a content corresponding to a reproduction instruction received from a user (S202). Further, the total control unit (113) verifies whether or not there is a LT corresponding to the specified content in a secure flash unit (120). In the case where there is the LT in the secure flash unit (120) (S203: Yes) and information concerning the reproduction of the content is received from the content decryption unit (520) (S204: Yes), an encryption/decryption unit (114) decrypts the LT stored in the secure flash unit (120) using a TRM unique key (S205). After that, the encryption/decryption unit (114) updates details of the content reproduction condition information (511a), encrypts the updated details using the TRM unique key, and writes the encrypted TRM unique key into the secure flash unit (120) (S208).
Abstract:
When a secure counter malfunction detection unit 212 deters a malfunction in a secure counter 211, a content playability judgment unit 206 performs a content playability judgment based on information managed by a malfunctioning-state playback processing management unit 214. The malfunctioning-state playback processing management unit 214 stores a malfunctioning-state playback condition composed of information such as a playback count and a playback time. The content playability judgment unit 206 judges that content is playable when the malfunctioning-state playback condition is met, and a content playback unit 210 splays the content.
Abstract:
The invention relates to power saving in portable terminals ( 100 ) with recording media ( 200 ). Conventionally, there is the problem that a battery ( 104 ) in the portable terminal ( 100 ) may become exhausted and as a result the original function of the terminal cannot be performed. To solve this problem, when the remaining battery capacity is low, the invention controls power supply ( 108 ) to the recording media ( 200 ) and clock supply ( 110 ) to a CPU ( 202 ) in the recording media ( 200 ) so as to reduce power supplied to the recording media ( 200 )

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a network connection device and connection method that facilitate, via a single unified interface connectable to different types of networks, a safe network connection easily available even for a user who is familiar with OS standard functions.SOLUTION: A network connection device includes: a network device for connecting to a network; a profile generation determination section for determining whether or not to generate a profile including information necessary for establishing a connection to the network; a profile generation section for generating the profile if the profile generation determination section determines to generate the profile; a profile management section for managing the profile generated by the profile generation section; and a network connection section for controlling the network device to connect to the network, according to the profile managed by the profile management section.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a problem that a security problem might occur according to the situation as a result of determination of a network to connect and connection to the network according to priority.SOLUTION: In a network connection device which connects to a network, a connection propriety determination unit determines connection propriety to a network according to connection propriety determination rules managed by a connection propriety determination rule management unit. If a security problem occurs in contents of the connection propriety determination rules due to connection, the security problem is to be solved by, for example, requiring a user to re-input authentication information in contents of the connection propriety determination rules.
