摘要:
A system, including: an audio-visual terminal; and a storage terminal, wherein the audio-visual terminal establishes a first connection protected by authentication and encryption, to server providing AV contents on a network; acquires an authorization to use of the contents by the first connection, concurrently acquires download control information including contents location information that indicates a location of the AV contents on the network and license information about the AV contents; and transmits the acquired download control information to the storage terminal, and the storage terminal acquires the download control information from the audio-visual terminal, downloads the contents from the server based on the contents location information via the network and stores the contents; acquires a license of the contents from the server based on the license information and stores the license; and uses the contents for a predetermined period based on the stored license.
摘要:
Methods to set a viewing and/or listening term are classified into two types, which are a fixed-time-length type to limit time length and a fixed-expiration-time type to limit expiration time. And the timings of license acquisition are classified into two types which are an immediate-acquisition type and a point-of-use type. The type of the timing of license acquisition is written to a meta data which is to be sent to a terminal before initiating download. The terminal determines the timing of license acquisition according to the meta data. When contents are point-of-use type, the terminal doesn't acquire a key and an expiration time information until a time of initiating playback. On the other hand, when contents are immediate-acquisition type, the terminal acquires the key and the expiration time information at any point of time. Since the key is acquired at the early timing such as download completion timing, a reaction velocity in response to a playback instruction can be heighten.

An internet terminal, which includes a communication unit for sending and receiving packet data, an encryption unit for encrypting and decrypting packet data, a packet generation unit for generating packet data to be sent to a server apparatus, a protocol determination unit for determining a communication protocol to be used between the internet terminal and the server apparatus, a control request reading unit for reading in packet data and a control request packet that includes a control request, a control unit for receiving control information and controlling the internet terminal or a terminal apparatus accordingly. Further, the internet terminal includes a server certificate authentication unit for authenticating the validity of a server certificate sent by the server apparatus, a client certificate management unit for sending a client certificate to the server apparatus, and a storage unit for storing a terminal ID and other information.
摘要:
The present invention provides a remote control apparatus comprising a controlled appliance and a server being connected via communication means, in which if data stored in the server is present, a notice command is promptly issued to the corresponding controlled appliance, and the controlled appliance having received the notice command automatically transmits a data acquisition request and receives the data stored in the server, whereby complicated operation by the user is not necessary and the capacity of the storage device of the server can be suppressed significantly.
摘要:
In order to provide a file transfer system in which a transmitting device verifies a file transfer capability of a receiving device and which enables efficient file transfer in the case where the transmitting device autonomously transfers files to the receiving device via a network using an HTTP POST method, information (401 and 402) for inquiring about a sink device's capability of interruption/restart of file transfer is described in metadata 400 to be inputted at the time of sending a CDS:CreateObject action request defined in UPnP-AV standard, when a source device verifies on whether a sink device is capable of restart/interruption of file transfer.
摘要:
A communication system including: a terminal (121); and a device (111), a device (112), and a device (113) existing within a LAN (110) connected to the terminal (121) through the Internet. The terminal (121) includes: a representative device preference storing unit (14) that stores information about processing performed by plural devices; a terminal control unit (15) that determines a representative device serving as a representative from among a plural devices based on information stored in the representative device preference storing unit (14); and a terminal side communication unit (10) that transmits a request for information about the devices within the LAN (110) to the representative device and receives a response to the request from the representative device. The device (111) includes: a device side communication unit (1) that receives a request for the information about the devices within the LAN from the terminal (121); and a device control unit (6) that acquires the information about the devices within the LAN (110) from the devices within the LAN (110). When receiving the request from the terminal (121), the device side communication unit (1) further transmits, as a response, the information acquired by the device control unit (6) to the terminal (121).
摘要:
A server apparatus selects one of communication equipment that has a waiting and reception capability as a waiting and receiving side communication equipment based on waiting and reception capability information on the respective communication equipments, and selects another communication equipment as a connection side communication equipment. The waiting and receiving side communication equipment sets a router apparatus connected to the waiting and receiving side communication equipment so that the router apparatus receives a signal having a destination of waiting and receiving address information, and transfers the received signal to the waiting and receiving side communication equipment. The connection side communication equipment transmits a packet having the destination of the waiting and receiving address information to the waiting and receiving side communication equipment.
摘要:
A data recording/reproducing method wherein encrypted digital data obtained by subjecting digital data to first encrypting by using a contents key and encrypted contents key obtained by subjecting the contents key to second encrypting are recorded on a recording medium, the encrypted digital data and the encrypted contents key, having been recorded, are reproduced, and the encrypted digital data is decrypted by using the contents key obtained by decrypting the encrypted contents key, thereby to obtain the digital data.
摘要:
A digital AV data transmitting unit includes a data significance deciding section for deciding the significance degree of digital AV data, and a transmitting-side plurality-of-authentication-rules storing section storing a plurality of types of authentication rules. Also included are a transmitting-side authentication selecting section for selecting one type of authentication rule from the transmitting-side plurality-of-authentication-rules storing means in accordance with a decision result by the data significance deciding section when receiving an authentication request, and a transmitting-side authenticating section for performing authentication in accordance with the selected authentication rule.
