摘要:
A host device (1) adds host function information indicating a function of the host device (1) to a command and transmits it to a storage device (2). The storage device (2) receives the command transmitted from the host device (1) and determines whether the function indicated by the host function information can be processed. When the function can be processed, the function is processed based on the command. When the function cannot be processed, no response is returned or error information is returned. Thus, under simple control, it is possible to prevent data destruction by a host device of an old version.

A host device transmits a command from a command transmission unit (101a) along a predetermined command sequence. A storage device (2) receives the command in a command reception unit (202a). An access determination unit (202c) determines the sequence of the command transmitted from the host device (1) and determines that reception of the access to the host device (1) is enabled only when the sequence is identical with a predetermined sequence. Thus, with simple control, it is possible to prevent data destruction by a host device of an old version.

An information recording medium (110) contains a semiconductor memory (117) as a storage device for storing data and having plural areas (121 to 124) to be managed by mutually independent file systems, an area information storage section (119) for storing information about size and position of each area of the semiconductor memory (117), a host interface (111) for receiving a command for setting each area size of the semiconductor memory (117) from an accessing device (100), and an area size setting section (112, 120) for setting the size and position of each area of the semiconductor memory (117). The area size setting section (112, 120) sets the area size of each area (121 to 124) in the semiconductor memory (117) based on the specified setting condition according to the command received from the accessing device (100).

摘要:
An information recording device, which includes a nonvolatile memory whose areas are managed using an FAT file system and enhances the reliability of directory entries using a cyclic shift checksum, recalculates the cyclic shift checksum efficiently and performs seeking at a higher speed. A nonvolatile memory (25) of an information recording device 2 is managed using an FAT file system. In the memory, a plurality of directory entries are allocated to a single file. The device enhances the reliability of the directory entries using a cyclic shift checksum, and manages information indicating the position and the size of a storage area of file data using an extent information entry (203). The device further uses an update information entry (204) and a dummy entry (205).
摘要:
A host information memory is provided in a semiconductor memory card and a data write start address and a data size supplied by an access unit are stored. A free physical area generation section determines whether or not to perform erasing of an invalid block of a nonvolatile memory when writing of data based on the data write start address and data size, and determines the number of blocks to be erased. When erasing, writing of data and erasing of invalid blocks are simultaneously performed with respect to different memory chips. Erase process of data, herewith, can be optimized and high speed access from the access unit to a semiconductor memory card can be realized.
摘要:
A region management method for an information recording medium capable of maintaining data interchangeability among devices and preventing malfunction when one information recording medium shared among devices different in type or number of file systems that can be interpreted by devices is provided. A recording region of the information recording medium is divided into a plurality of regions, and region information such as position and size of each region is held in the information recording medium. Different file systems are constructed in individual data recording regions. In response to a command from an information processing apparatus, accessible regions by the information processing apparatus are changed over by, for example, referring to validity flag information that indicates a presently valid region.

A server apparatus includes a CPU, a RAM, a cipher processing unit for carrying out encryption and decryption, a communication processing unit for carrying out communication with an information processing terminal, and a data storage unit for storing information that does not require confidentiality. The server apparatus also includes a distribution information storage unit for storing information such as a program to be distributed, and a specific information distribution history holding unit for holding a specific information distribution history for managing a record of a program specific information of a program previously distributed to the information processing terminal.
摘要:
A system including a secure LSI 1 establishes a communication path to/from a server 3 (UD1), and receives a common key-encrypted program generated by encryption with a common key and transmitted from the server 3 (UD6 and UD7). The received common key-encrypted program is decrypted to generate a raw program, and the raw program is re-encrypted with an inherent key to newly generate an inherent key-encrypted program, which is stored in an external memory.
摘要:
A card information storage part (119) is provided in a semiconductor memory device (110) to store information of the characteristics of the semiconductor memory device (110). There is also provided a file system interface control part (120) for performing, based on the stored characteristic information, a file access suitable for the characteristics of the semiconductor memory device (110). This allows an access device (100) to perform an optimum file access via the file system interface control part (120) without awareness of the characteristics of the semiconductor memory device (110).
