| 20080240673 | PLAYBACK APPARATUS, PLAYBACK METHOD, DISTRIBUTION SERVER, DISTRIBUTION METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - The present invention aims at providing a playback apparatus that performs playback control so as to prevent, in playback of content recorded on a recording medium, a decline of the value of the recording medium and content. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080256639 | Verification Method, Information Processing Device, Recording Medium, Verification System, Certification Program, and Verification Program - A virtual machine can be implemented by anyone because the interface and other information necessary for implementation are publicly available. Hence, if virtual machine is implemented maliciously, a program operating thereon can be made to operate maliciously instead of operating legitimately. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090245053 | RECORDING MEDIUM, DATA RECORDING APPARATUS, DATA REPRODUCING APPARATUS AND DATA RECORDING METHOD - Provided is a new-type recordable DVD medium characterized in having medium characteristics not defined in the DVD-R standards and-having compatibility with the DVD-ROM standards. Since information on the new-type recordable DVD medium can be played back by an existing player, even when content data protected by CSS (Content Scrambling System) is recorded on the new-type recordable DVD medium, the recordable DVD medium can be used for content distribution service using a kiosk terminal. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100188527 | IMAGING APPARATUS, RECORDING APPARATUS, FILE MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND DISPLAY APPARATUS - An imaging apparatus includes an image generation unit operable to generate image signal of a subject, a recording unit operable to record a first type of image file or a second type of image file to a recording medium based on the image signal generated by the image generation unit, and a controller operable to control the recording unit. The controller controls the recording unit to record the first type of image file at a lower level of a first directory in the recording medium and record the second type of image file at a lower level of a second directory in the recording medium, and record in the recording medium information used to analyze a recording order of the first type of image file and the second type of image file in the recording medium, while relating the information to the second type of image file. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100223477 | CONTENT REPRODUCING DEVICE, CONTENT REPRODUCING METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - A content playback apparatus (digital watermark detection apparatus) comprises: a detection unit operable to detect a digital watermark from audio data having a plurality of blocks, the audio data being contained in a content which is to be played back along a playback time-line; a detected block storage unit for storing therein information indicating a block in which the digital watermark has been detected by the detection unit; and a playback control unit operable to play back all data contained in the content other than audio data corresponding to the block indicated by the information stored in the detected block storage unit. This makes it possible, even when audio data containing copyright information is inadvertently recorded on a camcorder, to prevent the audio data containing the copyright information from being played back, thereby enabling users to view the content without the influence of playback control. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110019010 | IMAGING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An imaging apparatus includes an information acquiring unit operable to acquire information representing a state of a recoding medium from the recording medium, a determining unit operable to determine the state of the recording medium based on the information acquired by the information acquiring unit, and an informing unit operable to inform result of the determination by the determining unit to an outside of the imaging apparatus. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110119493 | UNAUTHORIZED CONTENTS DETECTION SYSTEM - Processing load on an executing device for conducting playback is high during the playback of contents since the executing device performs verification of the contents validity in parallel with the contents playback, and therefore the executing device has to be equipped with a highly efficient processor. The present invention reduces the processing load involved in the verification by using, for the verification, only a predetermined number of encrypted units selected randomly from multiple encrypted units constituting encrypted contents recorded on the DVD. In addition, the present invention is capable of improving the accuracy of detecting unauthorized contents to some extent by randomly selecting a predetermined number of encrypted units every time the verification is performed. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110154504 | MANAGEMENT SERVER DEVICE, CONTENT REPRODUCTION DEVICE, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - When a technique for specifying an unauthorized terminal based on a combination of watermarks embedded in content distributed without authorization is applied to content distributed on recording media, recording capacity limits of the recording media lead to a limit on the number of combinations of watermarks that can be embedded in the content, and only a limited number of terminals can be specified. In the present invention, all terminals are sorted into the same number of groups as there are combinations of watermarks, and a group that includes an unauthorized terminal can be specified based on the combination of watermarks embedded in the content. When the group including the unauthorized terminal is specified, this group is divided into groups, and a plurality of groups that do not include the unauthorized terminal are integrated. This enables the unauthorized terminal to be specified while keeping within the capacity of the recording medium. | 06-23-2011 |
