A data recording medium, a recording apparatus thereof, and an apparatus for providing contents having a function of securing personal anonymity similar to a prepaid card. The prepaid card type data recording medium includes a control information area on which is recorded coupon ID information for identifying the data recording medium and representing the authority for recording contents. In addition, marginal capacity information for indicating the maximum downloadable capacity of contents may further be recorded on the control information area. The apparatus for providing contents includes an authentication unit for authenticating personal identification information, and a contents upload unit for uploading predetermined contents to the data recording medium when the authentication is successful in the authentication unit. In addition, the apparatus for providing contents further includes an information DB unit which stores marginal capacity information indicating the marginal capacity of contents to be downloaded to the data recording medium according to the coupon ID information. The authentication unit determines whether to upload the predetermined contents by referring to the information DB. Blueray disc, the next generation DVD, can be used in a mobile phone or PDA as a prepaid card type data recording medium.

Copying, dubbing or reproducing copyrighted digital data can be inhibited or restricted to properly protect a copyright. AV data recorded on a pre-recorded tape is output from a reproducing unit of a first digital VCR with protective information indicating whether the copy of the AV data is inhibited or not. The protective information is input with the A/V data to a second digital VCR. Copy permission information of a blank tape loaded in the second digital VCR is discriminated and the second digital VCR records the AV data supplied from the first digital VCR based on the protective information and the copy permission information.

Accounting information is written in a recording medium A in which contents are to be recorded by way of pre-paid system, and money is withdrawn each time copying is operated. The copied title is read out from the recording medium A when the contents are downloaded from the service terminal connected to the contents service provider and transmitted to the contents service provider. A recording medium and information transmission system is thus capable of copying contents in a recording medium without troublesome user work and paying properly and automatically to the copyright holder and distributor.

摘要:
A recording/reproducing system according to this invention for use in, for example, a digital audio tape recorder is applied to a type in which recording of an input information signal on a recording medium (18) is restricted, and can ensure releasing of the recording restriction by using release-signal-holding mediums (19 and 21) on which a release signal for releasing the recording restriction is recorded. In this case, the release signal is affixed with frequency data for restricting the quantity of the information signal to be recorded on recording medium (18), and this frequency data is updated in such a way that the greater the number of recording the information signal on recording medium (18), the smaller the recordable quantity of the information signal.
摘要:
The embodiments described herein generally relate to a local mass storage device that provides a suggested read list of digital data to a host device. In one embodiment, a method is provided in which a local mass storage device receives a request from a host device for a suggested read list of digital data stored in the local mass storage device. The local mass storage device creates the suggested read list and provides the suggested read list to the host device. In this embodiment, the local mass storage device is managed by the host device using a logical block addressing protocol.
