On the content delivery side, a user management control unit manages authentication information and the distribution of a delivery list at the time of delivering service, the acceptance of a content select request, and charging and settlement on a user basis. On the other hand, an encrypted content control unit creates a content key and an encrypted content using the content key on the basis of a content key creating condition from a copyright owner or copyright manager. Then, an encrypted content key control unit encrypts the corresponding content key using medium information, or medium information and terminal device unique key information presented at the content request, delivers the key to the requester. Then, a content delivery control unit delivers the corresponding encrypted content to the requester at the content request.

Then, an encrypted content key control unit encrypts the corresponding content key using medium information, or medium information and terminal device unique key information presented at the content request, delivers the key to the requester. Then, a content delivery control unit delivers the corresponding encrypted content to the requester at the content request.
摘要:
A broadcast signal received by a broadcast signal reception unit is separated into program contents and program information by a broadcast signal separation unit. The separated program contents is converted into Internet Protocol (IP) packets by a contents transmission unit then distributed to an IP network. A program information transmission unit converts the separated program information into the IP packets then distributes the IP packets by setting an IP connection differing from that of the transmission unit. A terminal device receives the program contents by a contents reception unit to supply it to a program contents reproduction unit. The program information received by a program information reception unit is stored in a program information memory and output to a display in response to an output request.
摘要:
When distributing an encrypted content to a user terminal apparatus via a communication line, a distribution center apparatus requires a medium ID of an information storage medium, and encrypts a decryption key of the encrypted content by using the corresponding medium ID to transmit the encrypted decryption key to the terminal apparatus. The terminal apparatus downloads to store the encrypted content, receives the encrypted key to decrypt it in the use of the medium ID of the storage medium and to decrypt the encrypted content by using the decryption key. In such a system, the center apparatus provides print information corresponding to view conditions of a distributed content to the terminal apparatus in response to the request therefrom, and the terminal apparatus makes the print information appropriately printable by means of a printer.
摘要:
A content distribution device carries out distribution services of contents whose copyright protection is required via a communication line, to a user terminal device that enables to record contents to an information storage medium in which medium information is written, when receiving a content distribution request from the user terminal device, distributes a content list, and receives content selection information. At that moment, the content distribution device acquires the medium information from the user terminal device, sends this medium information to an encoded content key issuing device and receives an encoded content key based on the medium information concerned, and encodes contents by this encoded content key and distributes them to the user terminal device as distribution request source. The encoded content key is to be distributed at every viewing and/or listening request from the user terminal device, and when viewing and/or listening valid period expires, key distribution is stopped.

摘要:
A content encryption device generates encrypted content and an encrypted content copying device copies the encrypted content on an information storage medium. The storage medium is sold at a charge or distributed at no charge. A user gets the storage medium to connect or set it to or in a user terminal device, accesses to a content key distribution device to present a part or a whole of medium information of the storage medium to the distribution device. The distribution device grasps the whole of the medium information of the copied medium together with copied content and makes a content key encryption device issue an encrypted content key on the basis of user presentation information and distributes it to the terminal device.
摘要:
A content delivery apparatus, when a content delivery request is outputted from a user terminal device, encrypts the requested content with an encryption key, adds a view period to it to deliver it to a request source and delivers a viewing key in response to a view request from the user terminal device within the view period. A user relief management unit monitors failure information notifying, grasps a delivery disabled period from the failure information, specifies a delivery destination user for a content of which the view period is overlapped with the delivery disabled period and issues a relief right with a relief period specified thereto to the specified user. A contract period processing unit manages the relief right and permits viewing within the relief period set by the relief right when a view right based on the relief right is output from the user terminal device.
摘要:
It is assumed that a reception processing unit receives a broadcast program in accordance with tuning based on the user's specification. In this state, a non-viewable state detection processing unit monitors occurrence of a non-viewable state from an acquisition state of reception data. When the non-viewable state occurs due to a certain factor, a non-viewable state accumulation unit accumulates information on the non-viewable state. When the factor of a viewing interruption is solved and a user makes a request for service provision, the processing unit connects to a distribution apparatus to report content of the non-viewable state, and receives distribution of a relevant content, thereby the processing unit becomes able to recontinue interrupted broadcast content.
