20080212225 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus which executes formatting of an information recording medium includes a data processing section that executes formatting in which a plurality of partitions serving as a plurality of segmented data recording areas are set, and a partition-specific master boot record (MBR) dedicated to each of the partitions is recorded in each of the partitions. | 09-04-2008 |
20090198889 | RECORDING APPARATUS, RECORDING METHOD, PROGRAM FOR RECORDING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM THAT STORES PROGRAM FOR RECORDING METHOD - A recording apparatus includes: a type detecting section that detects a type of storage medium; an erase-block size detecting section that detects an erase-block size of the storage medium; a recording section that records desired data to a data area in the storage medium and records management information of the data area to a management area in the storage medium; and a control section that controls the recording section by issuing a command to the recording section, on the basis of results of the detection. Each time a certain amount of data is recorded to the data area, the control section updates the management information in accordance with the recording, and when the storage medium is a storage medium in which recorded data is updated for each erase-block size, the control section increases the certain amount of data according to an increase in the erase-block size. | 08-06-2009 |
20090210645 | Recording control apparatus, one-time recording medium, recording system, and recording medium control method and program - A recording control apparatus includes an attribute information reader, a medium determining unit, and a command transmitter. When a recording medium is removably loaded into a loading unit, the attribute information reader reads attribute information therefrom. On the basis of the attribute information, the medium determining unit determines whether or not the recording medium is a one-time recording medium capable of writing data once. If the recording medium is determined to be a one-time recording medium that has been set to a write-protected state in advance, the command transmitter transmits to the recording medium an unlock command for unlocking the write-protected state thereof. | 08-20-2009 |

20090063593 | SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A semiconductor memory device comprises an input unit inputting an address and data; a storage unit storing data and a FAT; an address conversion unit converting the address; an access unit accessing the storage unit according to the converted address; a detection unit detecting a format of the FAT; and an alteration unit altering conversion rules in the address conversion unit according to the detection. | 03-05-2009 |
20090248981 | SEMICONDUCTOR STORAGE DEVICE - Provided is a semiconductor storage device having a first interface section meeting a USB standard for connection to host equipment, a NAND memory section that is a first semiconductor memory section, a second interface section to which small memory cards can be connected, each small memory card having a second semiconductor memory section, and a controller capable of controlling the NAND memory section and the second semiconductor memory sections by one linear address. | 10-01-2009 |
20100017540 | SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE - A USB memory includes: a USB terminal unit, a main unit which incorporates therein a NAND memory and a processor module; and a rotation portion which changes a relative position between the main unit and the USB terminal unit. The processor module switches an access management mode to a first access management mode or a second access management mode depending on the relative position between the main unit and the USB terminal unit. The processor module manages data stored in the NAND memory such that data having been stored under the first access management mode is rendered inaccessible to the host device with the second access management mode and that data having been stored under the second access management mode is rendered inaccessible to the host device with the first access management mode. | 01-21-2010 |
20140092212 | INFORMATION PROCESSOR, INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An information processor has a sound acquisition unit configured to acquire a sound in a surrounding environment, a volume judging unit configured to judge whether a volume level of the sound acquired by the sound acquisition unit is higher than a reference level previously set, and a first reproduction position information recorder configured to record reproduction position information showing a current reproduction position of digital content, when the volume judging unit judges that the volume level of the acquired sound is higher than the reference level. | 04-03-2014 |
20140172626 | RECOMMENDATION-INFORMATION PROVIDING APPARATUS AND RECOMMENDATION-INFORMATION PROVIDING METHOD - A recommendation-information providing apparatus has an activity-history collecting part to collect activity histories of at least one of a first user and or a second user associated with the first user, a recommendation-information extracting part to extract recommendation information to be recommended to the first user, a recommendation-information providing part to provide the second user with the extracted recommendation information, a reservation accepting part to accept recommendation information for which the second user has performed a purchase reservation among the provided recommendation information, a purchase-intention confirming part to confirm a purchase intention of the first user by providing the first user with the accepted recommendation information, and a settlement processing part to perform a settlement process with the first user. | 06-19-2014 |
