Abstract:
In a contents distributing system, a monitoring server is equipped on a network with which all user terminals being capable of utilizing contents are allowed to connect, and a member card is issued to a user operating the user terminal. In the contents distributed from an information service server, a middleware for storing a history of utilizing contents (log data etc.) to the member card and for transmitting this history of utilizing contents along with a user ID to the monitoring server is embedded. The monitoring server generates utilization information indicating how much the particular contents are utilized by the user, based on the collected history of utilizing contents and the collected user ID.
Abstract:
In a contents distributing system, a managing server is equipped on a network with which all user terminals being capable of utilizing contents are allowed to connect, and a member card is issued to a user operating the user terminal. In the contents distributed from an information service server, a middleware for storing a history of distributing contents and a history of utilizing contents (log data etc.) to the member card and for transmitting this history of utilizing contents along with a user ID to the managing server is embedded. The managing server generates information indicating how much the particular contents are distributed from the information service server and how much the particular contents are utilized by the user, based on the collected history of utilizing contents and the collected user ID, and determines an amount of charging based on the charging rule.
Abstract:
A communication device communicates information via a virtual world configured by a server machine to client terminal devices operating characters in the virtual world. It is therefore possible to transmit various information to and to receive various information from the virtual world, even from a place remote from the client terminal devices, which enables a linking between the virtual world and the real world to be realized.
Abstract:
An ID (MID) is attached to each individual optical disk, and content is encrypted with a Content-Key and registered. In addition, a system server device maintains a Client ID of a client terminal device that is owned by a user, HDD-ID of a hard disk drive (HDD), and MC-ID of a memory card as user entry information. When the user wants to copy the content, together with the optical disk MID, the MC-ID is sent to the system server side. The system server device identifies the user by referring to the MC-ID in the user entry information, and returns a Content-Key, which is used when encoding content. On the user side, content stored in the optical disk is decrypted using the returned Content-Key and copies the content to the HDD. Accordingly, copying of content is allowed only for an authorized user who is the lawful owner of the storage media.

Abstract:
Advertisement information appropriated beforehand is inserted into contents such as a game downloaded by a user at the point that the user activates the contents, based on advertisement-insertable information within the game data or the like, and subsequently advertisement information is displayed at corresponding areas while the contents are running, thereby realizing an advertisement system capable of dealing with network infrastructures.
Abstract:
An information processing device to solve the above-mentioned disadvantage according to the present invention comprises: information receipt part to receive a digital information from an external information record medium; first judgment part to judge whether the external information record medium is a medium which is readable and writable; second judgment part which judges whether a predetermined security processing is performed to the digital information to be received; and control part to control the information receipt part to refuse a receipt of the digital information which is judged that the medium is readable and writable by the first judgment part and a security processing is not performed by the second judgment part.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device that can be connected to a host machine and can be used alone as an ancillary machine to be used as a remote control unit, and allowing even visually impaired users to distinguish remote control operation information aurally is configured so that a remote control program and frequency division program are downloaded from a CD-ROM which is the recording medium to a program memory of the portable electronic device, and remote control voice data is also downloaded to a non-volatile memory of the device. Additionally, remote control voice data corresponding to operation items when the portable electronic device is used as a remote control unit undergoes frequency division, and sounds which allow the operation items to be distinguished, are generated from a speaker of the portable electronic device.
