摘要:
The present invention provides a mutual rating system in which objects, such as users, content, and terminal devices, on the network can be rated and ratings for the objects can be checked without using a server. In the rating system, objects (users, content, terminal devices, etc.) associated with a network (3) are rated. The mutual rating system is connected to the network (3), and includes: a plurality of third party terminals (1(#3)) having stored therein rating information related to objects previously rated by the user; and content demanding terminal devices (1(#1)) for collecting rating information related to desired objects from all online rating information stoning terminal devices. Each content demanding terminal device (I(# I )) analyzes rating information collected from the third party terminal devices (1(#3)) to obtain a rating for a desired object.

The present invention provides a rights management terminal that can securely send and receive usage information while preventing spoofing and protecting user's privacy. The rights management terminal manages a copyright of a content using a license that includes a usage rule of the content, and includes: a first public key certificate management unit which manages, as a set, a first public key certificate that includes identification information for uniquely identifying at least one of the rights management terminal and a user using the terminal, and a first private key paired with a first public key included in the first public key certificate; a second public key certificate management unit which manages, as a set, a second public key certificate that does not include the identification information, and a second private key paired with a second public key included in the second public key certificate; a selection processing unit that selects, as a set, one of the following: the first public key certificate and the first private key; and the second public key certificate and the second private key; and an authentication processing unit that executes authentication for communicating with a server apparatus, using the public key and the private key that are selected as a set by the selection processing unit.

The present invention makes it possible to use data that is held by a given terminal device in another terminal device, even after the given terminal device can no longer be accessed externally. If a terminal device 100a detects an event wherein one's own terminal will no longer be externally accessible, then the data held by one's own terminal 100a is transferred to another device 200 that can be accessed externally. Another terminal device 100b, which acquires and uses data, acquires data from the device 200, and uses such.

摘要:
A CD on which only music information specified by the CD-DA is recorded, or a CD on which both music information specified by the CD-DA and music information to be recorded on a CD-ROM are recorded is mounted upon an information processing terminal (10). When the CD on which only music information specified by the CD-DA is recorded is mounted, the information processing terminal (10) acquires, from a directory server (20), an ISRC number that identifies the music information recorded on the CD, and distribution server location information that identifies a content distribution server. The information processing terminal (10) acquires content that is the music information compressed according to the MP3 and encrypted, from the content distribution server identified by the acquired distribution server location information, and the decryption key. The information processing terminal then decrypts the acquired content using the acquired decryption key and reproduces music.

摘要:
A semiconductor memory card which allows consumers to access and purchase content while protecting the copyright of the content. The memory card has a unique media ID assigned thereto and includes a secure data area and a non-secure data area. The secure are is accessible by an apparatus whose authenticity is verified, and the non-secure area is accessible by the apparatus regardless of such verification. The secure area stores a first encrypted content which is generated by encrypting a first content key by using the media ID, and the non-secure data area stores trial data and purchase data which can be decrypted. The trial data includes a first content which is encrypted by using the first content key, and the purchase data includes a second content which is encrypted by using a second content key. The purchase data can be decrypted when fee processing is performed.

摘要:
A right management server manages usage of a content on a parent terminal and a child terminal. The right management server includes content usage right database that stores right information indicating a usage rule of a content for each terminal ID or user ID, and a parental control information management unit that acquires, from the parent terminal or the parent user, parental control information that is an instruction to put a restriction on usage of a content on the child terminal or by a child user, and stores the parental control information in a parental control information database. The right management server also includes a license ticket generation unit that acquires a license ticket issuance request from the child terminal or the child user, generates a license ticket that is information for permitting usage of the content on the child terminal or by the child user, under a usage rule with a restriction indicated by the parental control information which is held in the parental control information management unit, and sends the license ticket to the child terminal or the child user.
