摘要:
A conditional access broadcast system for realizing conditional access while maintaining the safety level is disclosed. A contract management device at a broadcast station side delivers a reception contract information containing at least a contract information for controlling decryption of encrypted contents information delivered from a broadcast station by broadcast and a reception device ID in correspondence, which is encrypted using a master key which is commonly provided with respect to all the broadcast reception devices. At each broadcast reception device, whether or not to give a channel key for decrypting the encrypted contents information to the decryption unit is controlled according to the contract information for own broadcast reception device which is acquired from the encrypted reception contract information.
摘要:
An information recording/reproducing apparatus includes a first processing unit, a link information generating unit, a link information storage unit, and a second processing unit. The first processing unit processes information constituted by a plurality of information units and subjected to a recording/reproducing operation. The link information generating unit generates link information representing the relationship between arbitrary information units of the information units constituting the information. The link information storage unit stores the link information generated by the link information generating unit. The second processing unit performs predetermined processing with respect to the link information when an information unit corresponding to the link information stored in the link information storage unit is processed by the first processing unit.

An image/audio information recording/reproduction apparatus has a first recording device for receiving a first electrical signal representing image information and recording the image information on a dynamic recording medium of a given type, a static recording medium of a given type for storing a second electrical signal digitally representing audio information accompanying the image information, and a second recording device which is electrically connected to the static recording medium. The second recording device determines a memory address in the static recording medium of audio information accompanying the image information in a manner corresponding to a recording position of the image information on the dynamic recording medium, and records the audio information in the static recording medium in accordance with the determined memory address. The static recording medium includes a non-volatile semiconductor memory, such as an electrically erasable programmable read only memory.

In a digital data modulation circuit, a digital data block formed of k words, each of which includes m-bit binary data, is input to an error-correcting coding circuit which adds (n-k) check words to the input data block. The error-correcting coded data block is supplied to an arithmetic operation circuit, which calculates the number of "1" bits and the number of "0" bits to be included in the coded data block output from the error-correcting coding circuit so that the difference between the number of "0" bits and the number of "1" bits included in the coded data blocks which have been output from the error-correcting coding circuit approximates 0 and calculates one control word corresponding to the calculated number. The coded data block output from the error correcting coding circuit is supplied to a modulo-two adder which adds the control word to every word belonging to the coded data block.

In an encode method in which a binary data stream is divided into data words each of three bits. Each of the data words is encoded into a binary code word of 9 bits. In the method, a code word to be encoded is encoded in consideration of a code word preceding the code word and two code words succeeding the code word. Then, one of the first two code bits in each code word and two of the last five code bits in the preceeding code word are inverted according to a pattern of code bits "0" and "1" in both the code words. As a result, consecutive 5 to 19 code bits "0" are arrayed between two adjacent code bits "1" in the code word stream.
