摘要:
A management device of a license management system acquires a usage request of a content from an SD card or a printer via a relay device, analyzes the acquired usage request, acquires usage environment information of the SD card or the printer from the relay device, analyzes the acquired usage environment information, generates license information including a usage rule corresponding to the analysis results of the usage request and the usage environment information, generates instruction information indicating how to handle the license information in the relay device based on the analysis result of the usage environment information, embeds the generated instruction information in the license information, and sends the license information to the relay device. The relay device receives the license information in which the instruction information is embedded, and transfers the received license information to the SD card or the printer according to the instruction information which is embedded in the license information with performing certain processing or without performing any processing to the license information.

A content usage device includes (i) a license management unit that holds license information and (ii) a content output unit that uses a content in compliance with license information and outputs the content in at least one manner of a sound, video and data. The license management unit, upon receiving a request of license information from the content output unit, requests a license management unit of another content usage device to transfer the license information and acquires the license information, and passes the acquired license information to the content output unit. The content output unit uses a content in compliance with the license information passed from the license management unit.

A personal information management device aims to save troubles of inputting passwords and deleting personal information, to prevent others from viewing the personal information, and to maintain confidentiality of the personal information even when a mobile device is lost. Personal information storage unit 201 holds encrypted personal information, key distribution unit 204 distributes a decryption key used for decrypting the encrypted personal information into a first and a second distributed keys based on a secret sharing scheme, distributed key storage unit 205 stores thereon the first distributed key, stores the second distributed key on home device 30, and deletes the decryption key. Upon decryption, link judgment unit 210 judges link establishment. Key recovery unit 207 acquires the second distributed key from home device 30, and recovers the decryption key using the first and the second distributed keys. Decryption unit 208 decrypts the encrypted personal information using the decryption key.

An image processing apparatus enables image data to be handled easily after photography. A server apparatus patterns images and controls information in correspondence with user identifiers. A digital camera photographs a subject, obtains a pattern image and a piece of control information from the server apparatus, and judges whether a portion of the image data obtained by photography matches the obtained pattern image. If a matching portion exists, then the digital camera operates in accordance with an operation instruction included in the piece of control information. If the operation instruction is mosaic processing, then the digital camera performs mosaic processing to the matching portion. If the operation instruction is image replacement, then the digital camera replaces the matching portion with a predetermined image or performs CG processing on the matching portion. If the operation instruction is frame deletion, then the digital camera deletes the image data.

An authentication system that permits the user to use a function by authenticating the user in a more reliable manner than conventional technologies. The authentication system 1 includes a user terminal 10, an authentication recording medium 20, and wireless ID tags 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, . . . 36. Upon receiving from a user an instruction to activate a function provided by the authentication system for which the access by the user is limited, the user terminal 10 collects ID codes from the wireless ID tags 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, . . . 36, and judge whether or not a level of match between the collected ID codes and the ID codes stored beforehand in the authentication recording medium 20 satisfies a predetermined condition. If the level of match satisfies the predetermined condition, the user terminal 10 activates the designated function.

The present invention makes it possible to use data that is held by a given terminal device in another terminal device, even after the given terminal device can no longer be accessed externally. If a terminal device 100a detects an event wherein one's own terminal will no longer be externally accessible, then the data held by one's own terminal 100a is transferred to another device 200 that can be accessed externally. Another terminal device 100b, which acquires and uses data, acquires data from the device 200, and uses such.

Each of at least two terminal apparatuses uses content data in accordance with license information which is generated by a content distribution system to which it subscribes. A conversion apparatus includes a working area for storing license information which is compatible with one of the terminal apparatuses, and a central processing section for converting the license information stored in the working area into license information which is compatible with the other terminal apparatus. Thus, there is provided a conversion apparatus which can convert one's own license information so as to be passable to others.
