摘要:
A technique for achieving secure content distribution with increased copyright protection is disclosed. A content delivery apparatus is network connected to in-home/out-home content reproducible receiver devices, including digital TV sets, mobile phones or the like. The content delivery apparatus includes an optical disk drive, a built-in large capacity storage, a content list transmission unit responsive to receipt of a content list acquisition request from a content receiver device, for transmitting a list of contents recorded on an optical disk loaded in the optical drive and stored in the storage, and a content transmission unit responsive to a content and storage and for delivering it to the receiver. In cases where the content demanded is on the optical disk, if the receiver is currently outside an architectural structure with the apparatus installed therein, the content delivery to such receiver is prevented.
摘要:
A distributing apparatus including a communication processor unit to execute transmission of data between a content receiving apparatus connected through a network; a content list producer unit to produce an optical disc content list for when loaded in the optical disc drive apparatus, while to produce a recording medium content list when the optical disc is not loaded; a content list transmitter unit; a content transmitter unit; an authenticator unit; a key producer unit, which is configured to produce key information necessary for encoding the content(s) to be transmitted by the content transmitter unit; and an encoder unit, which is configured to encode the content(s) with using the key information in the key producer unit.
摘要:
A receiver enabling to receive 2D and 3D content from a content distributor, including a content list obtaining unit obtaining a list screen of content receivable from the content distributor, a content obtaining unit obtaining 2D or 3D content from the content distributor, a display unit displaying the list screen and reproduced screen of the content on an external or built-in monitor, and a function determining unit determining a function for viewing/listening to 3D and 2D content, wherein the content list obtaining unit determines if 3D content is visible/listenable and obtains a content list of only 2D content or both 2D and 3D content, in accordance with a result of determination, from the content distributor, and the display unit displays the content list obtained through the content list obtaining unit, thereby enabling the receiver of content to receive, memorize and/or output outside the content, being distributed from various networks.
摘要:
A content reception equipment for accessing an in-home content transmission equipment from a remote place executes a first authentication process with the content transmission equipment in advance, executes the remote access information sharing process required for access from a remote place, and causes the information on the content reception equipment and the remote access information to be registered in an equipment information table of the content transmission equipment.In the case where the in-home content transmission equipment is accessed by the content reception equipment brought out of home, the content transmission equipment transmits the content to the content reception equipment only in the case where the information on the content reception equipment is registered in the device information table of the content transmission equipment and the second authentication process using the remote access information is successfully executed between the content transmission equipment and the content reception equipment.
摘要:
In a content transmitting method in a content transmitting apparatus, wherein the content transmitting apparatus adds copy control information for indicating to execute a recoding control with either one of “copy can be made only one (1) generation” or “number of times of copying is limited”, on number-limited copy target content, when distributing the number-limited copy target content, which can be copied within a region of limited number of pieces.
摘要:
In a system having two or more gateway apparatuses connected to both first and second networks having mutually different address systems, a gateway apparatus is provided with a translation table for associating IP addresses with node IDs. The gateway apparatus inquires other gateway apparatuses whether other gateway apparatuses are administering the same address as an IP address generated for a newly added device. If there is another gateway apparatus that is administering the same address, the IP address is prevented from being registered in the translation table.
摘要:
A content transmission device for transmitting a digital content to other device connected via a network, including a receiving unit that receives the digital content accompanied with a piece of copy control information indicating a condition of restricting the digital content from being copied, a communication processing unit that transmits and receives the digital content or various data, or control commands to and from the other device, a connection determining unit that determines whether the other device is present on an intra-residential network connected by the content transmission device, and a control unit that controls the receiving unit, the communication processing unit, and the connection determining unit, in which the control unit does not output the digital content received by the receiving unit from the communication processing unit to the other device in a case where the other device is determined not to be installed at an inside of a residence by using the connection determining unit, thereby, a user who owns a device used in an mobile environment of a note type PC or a portable terminal satisfies a request for intending to access to the content in a household from a traveling destination or in a train in the midst of commutation by using the device.
摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a content receiving apparatus capable of receiving, storing, and externally exporting content distributed from various networks. A receiving apparatus for receiving a digital signal in which a 3D video program and a 2D video program are mixedly present, includes a program selection unit configured to display and select a received program list; and a function determination unit configured to determine a function of viewing the 3D video program and 2D video program included in the receiving apparatus, wherein the program selection unit displays a viewable program list of the receiving apparatus according to a determination result of the function determination unit at the time of displaying the received program list.
摘要:
A content transmitter apparatus is provided which decides whether to permit a content receiver apparatus at a content transmission destination to retransmit content to another content receiver apparatus located inside a house and transmits to the content receiver apparatus the content along with an identifier indicating a permission or prohibition of the content retransmission. A content receiver apparatus is also provided which, when it receives encrypted content from the content transmitter apparatus, checks an identifier received together with the content in executing the content retransmission to another content receiver apparatus located outside the house. If the identifier is found to permit the content retransmission, the content receiver apparatus encrypts and retransmits the content to the outside-house content receiver apparatus. If the identifier is found to not permit the content retransmission, the content receiver apparatus does not retransmit the content to the outside of the house.
