摘要:
A digital broadcasting system includes an authoring apparatus and a transmission apparatus. The authoring apparatus generates event information, which defines an event message that should be transmitted immediately after an operator's instruction to transmit the event message is received, and adds the event information to a content. The authoring apparatus then extracts the event information from the content by referring to tag information and transfers the extracted event information to the transmission apparatus. The transmission apparatus stores the event message defined by the event information transferred from the authoring apparatus. According to an operator's instruction to transmit the event message, the transmission apparatus issues the event message, and multiplexes and transmits the issued event message and the content.

A data broadcast content generation system stores body data for displaying a body page, a plurality of sets of part data each being composed of display element data for determining a display element and attached data for displaying an attached page, and schedule information which associates each broadcast data slot with a set of part data. For each broadcast time slot, the body data, display element data of the set of part data, and attached data of the set of part data are related to each other, so that a display element determined by the display element data will be displayed in the body page and a link destination of the display element will be an attached page displayed using the attached data. The body data, the display element data, and the attached data are then set as carousel data to be transmitted during the broadcast time slot.

A template storage unit stores a plurality of templates. A material data receiving unit receives material data. A combining rule storage unit stores a plurality of combining rules that each indicate a combining condition as a combination of attribute information, such as a type of material data and a version number, and a name of a template to be combined with when the combining condition is met. A combining instruction unit judges whether a combining condition of any of the combining rules is met or not and instructs a combining unit to combine the material data with the template when the combining condition is met. The combining unit combines the material data or a combination of the material data with the specified template according to the combining rule.

There are provided a content distribution system and a license management method for performing, in a collective manner, license management of a plurality of resources contained in contents. Each piece of content contains one upper-level resource (which is first referred to within the content), at least one lower-level resource (which can be referred directly or indirectly from the upper-level resource), one startup document and a license-corresponding document (which is an information file for performing, in a collective manner, license management of the resources contained in the content). The startup document contains at least upper-level resource reference destination information and at least one piece of license information for identifying view licenses required for viewing the resources contained in the content. In each resource, if link information for accessing other content is described, information for accessing the startup document of the other content is described.

A data stream selection/output apparatus that selects and outputs a data stream composed of sequentially obtained data. The data stream selection/output apparatus obtains timing information indicating a time at which a first data stream being output should be switched to a second data stream. The data stream selection/output apparatus, in a time period including the time indicated by the timing information, scans the first and second data streams to detect a first boundary between data blocks of the first data stream and a second boundary between data blocks of the second data stream, where the data blocks conform to a transmission protocol higher than Transport Layer of OSI Reference Model. The data stream selection/output apparatus then stops outputting the first data stream at the first block boundary and starts outputting the second data stream at the second block boundary.

A packet filtering apparatus selectively outputs packets among a plurality of inputted packets. A plurality of conditions are stored, with each condition being specified by a partial data position that indicates a position of a data part of a packet, comparison data to which the data part is to be compared, and a comparison criterion for comparing the data part and comparison data. Different conditions contain different comparison criteria. When filtering packets, a condition in one of the stored conditions is selected, and a data part of an inputted packet is compared with the comparison data of the selected condition according to the comparison criterion in the selected condition. Packets are selectively outputted depending on the result of the comparison.
摘要:
In a content delivery system including a server and content processing apparatus connected to each other across a network, a content delivered by the system is encrypted with a content key Kc, and supplied along with a sublicense encrypted with a work key Kw to a DTV. The sublicense includes a second use condition under which a content is used and a content key Kc for decrypting an encrypted content. The work key Kw for decrypting an encrypted content is included in a main license. The main license is supplied to the DTV separately from the content. The main license includes, in addition to the work key Kw, a first use condition under which a content under a subscription contract is used.
摘要:
A data transfer apparatus receives from an upper station a data stream that includes a plurality of types of repeat data, each type of repeat data being repeatedly transmitted by the upper station, and transfers the repeat data to a lower station, the data transfer apparatus including a storage unit having a storage area; an extraction unit for extracting the types of repeat data from the received data stream; a writing unit for writing the extracted repeat data to the storage area; a data structure ratio determination unit for determining a ratio between the types of repeat data to be output in a data stream per fixed length of time; and a data output unit for reading the repeat data stored in the storage unit, and outputting the read repeat data at the determined ratio.
