摘要:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for information processing, a recording medium, and a program that can provide newest functions in a plurality of applications. A PC 1 reads a UD information file 14 including functional generation information of a setup program 13 from a loaded optical disk 3, and obtains a UD information file 16 including functional generation information of a setup program 15 registered in a server 4 via a network 2. Then, the PC 1 compares the functional generation information of the UD information file 14 on the optical disk 3, the UD information file 16 of the server 4, and a UD information registry 12, and updates an application program 11 and the UD information registry 12 using the setup program corresponding to the newest functional generation. The present invention is applicable to an information providing system that provides music content distribution service having a copyright managing function via a network.

There are provided an information recording medium, and an information processing apparatus and method by which content usage in compliance with copyright protection is made possible in information processing devices such as a CD player and a PC. In the information recording medium, a first data storage area on which a copying prevention process is performed, and a second data storage area in which is stored an encrypted content file containing encrypted content, and encrypted key data such that key data for use in a decryption process is encrypted and which can be decrypted only in a device having a license are set. It becomes possible to play back the recorded content of a first data recording field in a playback device such as a CD player, and even in an information processing device, such as a PC, it is possible to decrypt and play back encrypted content of a second data recording field under the condition of obtaining a license.
摘要:
To provide an information recording medium and an information processing apparatus and method in which the content usage by ensuring copyright protection can be implemented both in CD players and information processing apparatuses, for example, PCs. A license providing condition for a client can be dynamically set based on the content usage status of the client. For example, for clients having a large number of content usages, the license price is decreased, or the license can be provided free. A media ID stored in, for example, a CD, and a product ID as an identifier in, for example, a title unit or an album unit are received from the client. Based on such identification data, the content usage status data can be checked. Accordingly, the licenses can be provided under the reliable management of the content usage.

An information processing system including an information processing apparatus and a remote controller. The remote controller includes a cursor key operation unit capable of performing a focus shift operation to cause a user to shift a focus and an enter input operation to cause the user to select an object as an selection candidate on which the focus is disposed and a mouse operation unit capable of performing a cursor pointer movement operation to move a cursor pointer and an enter input operation to cause the user to select the object indicated by the cursor pointer. The information processing apparatus includes a judgment unit to judge the object selected and a first enter input restriction unit to invalidate the enter input operation of the mouse operation unit performed within a preset time period from when a latest focus shift operation of the cursor key operation unit is performed.

There is provided an information processing device which is capable of providing a program selected on the basis of a predetermined theme among recorded programs and programs to be received to a user. A special program is generated by selecting a predetermined program on the basis of a predetermined theme such as ‘person of the today’, ‘hot drama’, or the like among recorded programs and programs to be received to a user and the contents of the selected program is displayed on a screen as information of a recommendation program. The contents of the special program are changed according to preference of the user, a displaying time of the screen, and setting by the user. The invention can be applied to an information processing device which records a program or plays the recorded program.
