| 20080235742 | CONTENT DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD, AND SERVER APPARATUS AND RECEIVING APPARATUS USED IN THIS CONTENT DELIVERY SYSTEM - A server apparatus includes a memory which stores a management table relating content identification information for specifying the content and a trick play request and a trick play data, and a transmitter which refers to the management table based on the content identification information and the trick play request, reads out the corresponding trick play data from the management table according to the reference result, to transmit the trick play data to the receiving apparatus from the specified reproduction starting position. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090077596 | BROADCAST CONTENT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, AND DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS AND BROADCAST RECEPTION TERMINAL DEVICE FOR USE IN THE SYSTEM - It is assumed that a reception processing unit receives a broadcast program in accordance with tuning based on the user's specification. In this state, a non-viewable state detection processing unit monitors occurrence of a non-viewable state from an acquisition state of reception data. When the non-viewable state occurs due to a certain factor, a non-viewable state accumulation unit accumulates information on the non-viewable state. When the factor of a viewing interruption is solved and a user makes a request for service provision, the processing unit connects to a distribution apparatus to report content of the non-viewable state, and receives distribution of a relevant content, thereby the processing unit becomes able to recontinue interrupted broadcast content. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090217387 | COPY LIMITATION MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND METHOD, AND CONTENT STORAGE DEVICE - A content storage device comprises a content storage unit which stores master content with content handling information including conditions of copy limitations added thereto, content information management units which acquire to individually manage content information related to the conditions of the copy limitations from the content handling information added to the stored content in storing the master content, a content information provision unit which reads to provide management information in response to a request, and a copy limitation processing unit which determines the conditions of the copy limitations from the management information of the content information management unit in copy requesting of the master content and instructs execution of copy processing only when the conditions are satisfied, and updates the conditions of the copy limitations in accordance with instructing execution of the copy processing. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100031018 | INFORMATION DELIVERY SYSTEM, DELIVERY CENTER DEVICE, USER TERMINAL DEVICE AND INFORMATION DELIVERY METHOD - A user terminal device specifies presence or absence of additional recording in issuing a content request, and in the case of additional recording, the device transmits medium information and encrypted information of pre-recorded contents to a delivery center. When receiving a content additional recording request from the device, the delivery center decrypts once encrypted contents to be additionally recorded with the corresponding-content keys. The encrypted key information is decrypted by the medium information from the device to decrypt content keys of the pre-recorded contents and re-encrypts encrypted contents to be additionally recorded to deliver the re-encrypted contents to the device. When receiving contents for additional recording, the device records the received contents so as to be related to the pre-recorded contents, on a recording medium. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100235876 | CONTENT PROVISION SYSTEM, CONTENT GENERATION APPARATUS, CONTENT REPRODUCTION APPARATUS, AND CONTENT GENERATION METHOD - A content provision system provides a content reproduction apparatus with content including main information which is at least either of video information and audio information generated by a content generation apparatus. The content generation apparatus generates a bodily sensation element by applying numeric conversion to characteristics of a bodily sensation given to a user, generates instruction information to reproduce the bodily sensation element in synchronism with reproduction of the main information, generates bodily sensation information by adding the instruction information to the bodily sensation element, and generates content including the bodily sensation information by adding the bodily sensation information to the main information. The content reproduction apparatus separates the main information and the bodily sensation information from the content, reproduces the main information, separates the bodily sensation element and the instruction information from the bodily sensation, and reproduces bodily sensation element based on the instruction information. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20080316530 | PRINTING CONTROL APPARATUS, PRINTING CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing control apparatus includes a spooler which spools a received print job in a print queue and outputs the print job, a print job management unit which holds a print job output from the spooler, and manages transmission of a print job to a printing apparatus and whether a print job is complete in the printing apparatus, and a display control unit which displays the processing status of a print job that is spooled in the print queue and managed by the print job management unit. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090296119 | DOCUMENT PROCESSING SYSTEM, DOCUMENT PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A document processing system includes a printing apparatus configured to perform printing and a post-processing apparatus configured to execute post-processing on a print product. The document processing system includes a setting unit configured to set a sheet-feeding direction of the print product to be fed to the post-processing apparatus, and a print control unit configured to control the printing apparatus to print on the print product a mark indicating the sheet-feeding direction set by the setting unit. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090303547 | DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD FOR THE DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - According to an instruction issued by a user for printing document information via a web browser of a client PC, a main control unit of an information processing apparatus included in a document management system issues an instruction to a document attribute/user attribute comparison unit for comparing a user attribute, which is stored in a user information storage unit, of the user who has instructed printing of the document information, and history information of the user attribute corresponding to print setting information associated with the document information, which is stored in the document information storage unit, whose printing has been instructed. Then, the main control unit determines print setting information to be used for printing the document information to be printed from among the print setting information stored on the document information storage unit according to a result of the comparison. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20110137778 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF REALIZING PROPER BILLING PROCESSING, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus which make it possible to achieve correct billing processing free from an error in the amount of processed pages and prevent users from using a service without being billed. A cloud is connected via a network to a printer that receives data and performs image processing thereon. A processing server performs predetermined processing on data received via the network. A directory server transmits processed data formed by the predetermined processing to the printer. A billing server performs billing for the predetermined processing, after a completion notification indicative of completion of the image processing is received from the printer. The director server determines whether the received data requires the completion notification. When the received data requires the completion notification, the directory server transmits processed data of a next page after receiving the completion notification on processed data of a preceding page. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110149326 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND PROGRAM - It is determined whether a combination of an output requesting application and a printer driver designated as an output destination is a combination of the first application and first printer driver or a combination of the second application and second printer driver. When it is determined that the combination of the output requesting application and the printer driver is neither of these combinations, confirmation information to confirm whether to execute a print process is output. | 06-23-2011 |
