摘要:
A recording device, which receives record instructions directly from a user, enables the user to give a variety of record instructions without being restricted by the recording capability of the recording device. The recording device judges whether a processing content specified in a record instruction received from the user is executable internally (step S300), and if judged in the negative, selects an external device capable of executing the record instruction, based pre-collected information relating to the recording capability of one or more external devices (step S302) and forwards the record instruction to the selected device (step S303).

A server stores a media content and an execution program for processing the media content, and determines a usage rule for the media content to be transmitted to a terminal. The server distributes the usage rule, the media content, and the execution program to the terminal. The terminal stores the distributed usage rule, media content, and execution program. The terminal executes the stored execution program and processes the stored media content within the bounds of the usage rule as stored. The server may perform a billing process in accordance with the determined usage rule, or select and distribute a media content or an execution program in accordance with the processing ability of the terminal or a state of communications. Moreover, the server may distribute, in addition to the execution program, middleware for constructing an operating environment for the execution program.

A terminal that executes a multi-participant online game is advantageous for a user when forming a group in the application. The terminal is any given one of a plurality of terminals in a network system that also includes a server apparatus, the terminals respectively corresponding to characters that exist in a virtual space. The given terminal includes: a display unit that, in accordance with data stored in the sever apparatus and data stored in the given terminal, performs display of a scene in the virtual space in which exits a first character whose actions are determined by the given terminal and a second character whose actions are determined by another terminal; and an updating unit that, when a user performs an operation to form a group of characters, updates the displayed scene such that performance information pertaining to the other terminal is displayed in correspondence with the second character.

A video data storing unit stores video data pieces. An editing information generating unit generates editing information sets. A copyright information storing unit stores a standard copyright royalty fee for each video data piece. A royalty fee calculation unit calculates a total copyright royalty fee using the editing information sets and the standard copyright royalty fees. An upper limit judging unit judges whether the total copyright royalty fee exceeds an upper limit. If the total copyright royalty fee exceeds the upper limit, a reediting unit deletes part of a clip to reduce the total copyright royalty fee to a level no more than the upper limit.

A network recording system includes a terminal device and a recording device. The terminal device includes a transmitting unit operable to transmit recording instruction information for recording of a punctual program, to the recording device via the network The recording device includes a program receiving unit operable to receive the punctual program, a recording unit operable to start a recording operation of the punctual program from a start time of the punctual program, where the recording operation includes recording the punctual program and performing a process related to the recording, a receiving unit operable to receive the recording instruction information from the terminal device, and a discontinuing unit operable to cause the recording unit to discontinue the recording operation of the punctual program, if the receiving unit does not receive the recording instruction information before a predetermined time elapses from the start time of the punctual program.
