| 20090078753 | Name Changing Method, Information Processing Apparatus and Network System - The present invention is a method for changing a device identification name of an information processing apparatus to which the device identification name is added for identification by a user. First, a device identification name of other information processing apparatus connected to a same network is obtained. Next, the device identification name of the other information processing apparatus and the device identification name of the information processing apparatus are compared. Further, when the device identification name of the other information processing apparatus and the device identification name of the information processing apparatus are the same, it is judged, according to a predetermined rule set beforehand, whether or not to change the device identification name of the information processing apparatus. Then, when it is judged to change the device identification name of the information processing apparatus, the device identification name of the information processing apparatus is changed. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20090245751 | Receiving Apparatus, Receiving Method, Recording Apparatus, Recording Method, Program, Recording Medium, and Network System - Disclosed herein is a receiving apparatus for sending received contents to a recording apparatus and for getting the recording apparatus to record the contents in accordance with preset recording reservations, the receiving apparatus including: a recording ready time information acquisition section configured to acquire from the recording apparatus information about a recording ready time; a continuous recording determination section configured to determine whether two chronologically successive broadcast contents are reserved for recording based on the preset recording reservations; and an end time setting section configured such that if the two chronologically successive broadcast contents are found reserved for recording, then the end time setting section sets the time at which to end processing for recording the earlier of the two contents based on a broadcast start time of the latter of the two contents and on the acquired information about the recording ready time. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090257592 | Content transmission system, communication device, and content transmission method - A content transmission system includes: a content transmission device that includes an encryption portion that encrypts content data using key information, a first communication portion that transmits, using a first communication method, content data encrypted by the encryption portion, and a second communication portion that performs communication using a second communication method that differs from the first communication method; a content reception device that includes a third communication portion that receives encrypted content data transmitted from the first communication portion using the first communication method, a decoding portion that decodes encrypted content data received by the third communication portion using key information that is symmetric or asymmetric to the key information, and a fourth communication portion that performs communication using the second communication method; and a communication device that acquires the key information and transmits the acquired key information using the second communication method. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090274447 | Recording system, transmission apparatus, recording apparatus, recording control method, and recording medium - A recording system includes a transmission apparatus and a recording apparatus. The transmission apparatus includes a storage unit that stores content data, a generating unit that generates recording destination information, and a transmission control unit that transmits the recording destination information and the content data. The recording apparatus includes a first recording unit that records content data, a second recording unit that records content data at a lower recording speed, and a recording control unit that controls the first and second recording units. The transmission control unit continuously transmits a plurality of pieces of recording destination information and content data. The recording control unit records, when the recording destination is a recording medium, the content data and the recording destination information in the first recording unit, and records the content data on the recording medium based on the recording destination information. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100188514 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, PROGRAM, SYSTEM, AND IMAGING OBJECT GENERATION DEVICE - An information processing apparatus is provided which includes an imaging data acquisition unit for obtaining imaging data obtained by imaging an imaging object which is asymmetric in at least one of vertical direction and horizontal direction, an orientation detection unit for detecting the orientation of the imaging object with respect to the top, bottom, left, and right of the imaging data obtained by the imaging data acquisition unit, and a related information selection unit for selecting one or more related information, from among a plurality of related information prepared in advance, according to the orientation of the imaging object detected by the orientation detection unit. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100205438 | Authenticating method for short-distance radio devices and a short-distance radio device - The invention provides a method for making mutual authentication between short-distance radio devices automatically or after confirmation by users, and a short-distance radio device for realizing the method. In a condition where a plurality of radio devices exist, each of the radio devices comprising a data communicating unit for performing short-distance radio communication and an authenticating unit for performing authentication of the radio device, the authenticating unit performs mutual authentication between two radio devices automatically or after confirmation by users of the radio devices when the two radio devices come closer to each other to such an extent that coverage areas of radio waves generated by the radio devices overlap with each other. | 08-12-2010 |
