摘要:
An information storage medium (1) of the present invention includes an L0 layer and an L1 layer of a format different from that of the L0, and in a control information area (12) of the L0 layer is stored control information AC0 that defines an operation that a recording/ playback apparatus is allowed to perform with respect to the L0 layer, and in a control information area (13) of the L1 layer is stored control information AC1 that defines an operation that the recording/ playback apparatus is allowed to perform with respect to the L1 layer. The L0 layer is a writable recording layer and includes a control information storage area (14) in which to store the AC1, which is control information of the L1 layer and which is stored in the L1 layer. As such, the present invention provides an information storage medium, a recording/ playback apparatus, a recording/ playback method, each of which allows for speedy and appropriate control at the time of recording and playback.

A digital data recording apparatus for recording digital data on a recording medium, comprises: communication means (100) for receiving encrypted digital data via a digital network; decryption means (105) for decrypting the encrypted digital data that has been received by the communication means; encryption means (110) including a plurality of encryption units (111,112,113) that re-encrypt digital data that has been decrypted by the decryption means in encryption systems having different security levels; recording means (115) for recording digital data that has been re-encrypted by the encryption means on the recording medium; designation reception means (117) for receiving, from a user, an instruction regarding designation of one of the plurality of encryption units, the designation encryption unit being for re-encrypting the digital data that has been decrypted by the decryption means; and a controller (109) for controlling the decryption means, the encryption means and the designation reception means, characterised in that the controller has the designated encryption unit re-encrypt the digital data that has been decrypted by the decryption means.
摘要:
A method of operating a DVD apparatus is disclosed, the DVD apparatus including an arrangement for reading information from a removable DVD disk and a communications port. The method includes the steps of supplying a removable DVD disk, the removable DVD disk including a secure container, the secure container comprising governed information and at least one rule governing at least one aspect of access to or use of said governed information, receiving through the communications port a second rule, and, at the DVD apparatus, using the first rule and the second rule to govern a use of at least a portion of said governed information.
摘要:
Even in the case of copying contents data on a recording medium not compliant with copyright protection, in order to enable the data to be moved to a recording medium compliant with copyright protection, key data to encrypt the contents data is generated per contents data and held in a contents encrypting key memory section 106 in the recording/reproducing device. The contents data is encrypted by the key data in a contents encrypting section 103, while at the same time the key data is encrypted in a key encrypting section 107, both data being recorded together on the HDD 111 not complying with copyright protection. When the contents data is moved to a DVD-RAM 112 of the copyright protection non-compliant recording medium, the key data held in the contents encrypting key memory section 106 is deleted and the contents data cannot be reproduced even by the HDD-DVD recorder 102.
摘要:
A data edition method enabling reduction of the load of the edition processing of stream data recorded on a recording medium and realizing higher speed edition. It is assumed that the stream data recorded on the recording medium is managed as a file by a file system. The stream data is managed track by track using a track management data file managed by the file system. The edition of division and erase is executed track by track by rewriting the content of the track management information defining each track in the track management data file. With this configuration, it is not necessary to rewrite the file system when division or erase edition is executed track by track.

A content reproduction apparatus 20 includes: a storage section 230 for storing a source-ID list L and method identification information 232; a reproduction control method determination section 240 for determining a method to control reproduction of a content on the basis of the method identification information 232; a first reproducibility determination section 242a, which is used for producing a result of determination as to whether or not a content to be reproduced is reproducible by determining whether or not a source ID attached to the content is a source ID included in the source-ID list L in case the reproduction control method determination section 240 determines that the method to control reproduction of a content is a first reproduction control method; a second reproducibility determination section 242b, which is used for producing a result of determination as to whether or not a content to be reproduced is reproducible on the basis of usage rule information described in a license issued to the content in case the reproduction control method determination section 240 determines that the method to control reproduction of a content is a second reproduction control method; and a reproduction execution section 244 for reproducing a content determined as a reproducible content.
摘要:
A communication system and so forth by which a plurality of apparatus owned by the same user can be registered efficiency are provided. In the communication system, when a terminal ID of a content processing apparatus is registered already in a management server and a content reproduction apparatus is to be registered into the management server through the content processing apparatus, transmission of user information by a user information transmission section is not performed, but a registration request information transmission section transmits registration request information which includes the terminal ID and a device ID for identification of the content reproduction apparatus. A registration section specifies a registration record based on the terminal ID included in the registration request information, registers the device ID into the registration record and transmits registration completion information to the content processing apparatus. A list updating section adds, when the registration completion information is received from the management server, a group ID of the content processing apparatus itself to a second source ID list of the content reproduction apparatus.
