摘要:
When the user designates the reproduction of searching audio data, the designated searching audio data and audio volume data are read from a searching data recording portion. The searching audio data is reproduced corresponding to the audio volume data. When the user designates the reproduction of main audio data, the selected audio data is read from a disc and reproduced. In addition, number-of-reproduction-times data, audio volume data, audio quality data, and time period data for the designated main audio data that are updated in the searching data storing portion. The searching audio data corresponding to the designated main audio data is read from the disc corresponding to the audio quality data and the time period data and recorded to the searching data storing portion.

摘要:
A recording medium includes at least a recording area in which pieces of content data are recorded, and a lead-in area in a position that is read before the recording area is read. In one of the recording area and the lead-in area, identification information which indicates whether the recording medium is for a rental use is recorded.
摘要:
The present invention is a recording medium comprising a lead-in area, a data record area for recording encrypted content data, and a lead-out area, wherein key information for decrypting the encrypted content data is recorded in at least one of the lead-in area and the lead-out area and the program area.
摘要:
The present invention provides a content-on-demand system capable of managing users' system-utilization frequencies such as download counts and connection times as well as changing the quality of a content transmitted from a server to a user in dependence on the system-utilization frequency of the user. Thus, a high-quality content or a highly functional content is provided to a user with a high system-utilization frequency. By differentiating contents provided to users in accordance with the system-utilization frequencies of the users, network businesses can be activated.
摘要:
A data transmission method and apparatus for transmitting data such as encrypted content data, wherein a device that is to be a destination of transmission is authenticated and, if the device has not been authenticated, encrypted data read out from a storage unit is decrypted to give decoded data, which then is re-encrypted, based on innate key data acquired from the device that is to be the destination of transmission, to give re-encrypted data. The re-encrypted data is then transmitted to the device that is to be a destination of transmission.
摘要:
A recording method for embedding in a record medium many types of management information corresponding to many types of record media as additional information added to content data that is recorded on the record medium, performing a first encoding process for the content data to which the additional information has been embedded, performing a second encoding process for the many types of management information; and modulating the content data of which the first encoding process has been performed and the many types of management information of which the second encode process has been performed.
摘要:
A recording method for converting m-bit data into n-bit (where n>m) bit data whose run length is restricted and recoding the converted data on a recording medium, the recording method comprising the steps of when at least preceded data is data containing a special data pattern, lightening the restriction of the run length; and recording data so that the cumulative value of DC components per unit time increase when the data is reproduced in the state that the run length is restricted.
摘要:
A method for recording digital data in accordance with the recording format, in which the type of a loaded recording medium is identified and on the basis of the result of the identification a data format is selected for embedding sub data into data to be recorded onto the loaded recording medium so that the data are readable as optical changes. Whether the recording area in which recording is to be performed is a recording area in which the sub data should be embedded or not is discriminated, and if the result of the discrimination indicates that the area in which recording is to be carried out is a recording area in which the sub data should be recorded, the sub data are embedded and recorded into the data to be recorded in a predetermined recording area on the recording medium on the basis of the selected data format.
摘要:
A recording method includes the steps of generating recording data in such a manner that, when m-bit data is converted into a data symbol of n bits (m
