摘要:
A personal computer 50 holds encrypted contents data and a license acquired from a distribution server (10) over an Internet network (30) or from a music CD (60) using a CD-ROM drive. The personal computer (50), which is connected to a portable reproduction terminal (100) through a USB cable (70), performs a checkout operation for lending out, the encrypted contents data and the license to a memory card (110) attached to the portable reproduction terminal (100), and a checkin operation for returning the lent encrypted contents data and the lent license. As a result, it is possible to shift the encrypted contents data and the license acquired by software to the other device.

A hard disk (530) of a personal computer has a content list file (150) and an encrypted private file (162). A license administration device (520) stores a binding key Kb in a license region (5215B) of a memory. The encrypted private file (162) can be decrypted and encrypted with the binding key Kb stored in the license administration device (520). The license of the obtained and encrypted content data is stored as private information in the encrypted private file (162). Consequently, the encrypted content data and the license distributed by software can be shifted to another data terminal device.

A semiconductor storage device has a nonvolatile semiconductor memory comprised from multiple storage areas, and a controller, which is coupled to the nonvolatile semiconductor memory. The controller (A) identifies a storage area state, which is the state of a storage area, (B) decides, based on the storage area state identified in the (A), a read parameter, which is a parameter for use when reading data from a storage area with respect to a storage area of this storage area state, and (C) uses the read parameter decided in the (B) with respect to a read-target storage area and reads data from this read-target storage area.

摘要:
A thin client terminal that can perform information processing in an off-line state is provided. A thin client terminal 101a sends a request for registration of data to be used off-line and designation of application software to be used off-line to a management server 107 through a remote computer 104. The management server 107 registers the data and application software according to the request. The thin client terminal 101 requests the management server 107 to acquire the requested data and application software, receives the data and application software, and stores the received data and application software into a storage medium 110.

A invented computer system has a plurality of computer boards; a plurality of terminals, each of which is coupled to each of the computer boards respectively via a network; a storage device having a plurality of storage areas, which is coupled to each of the computer boards; and a management computer; and wherein the management computer manages a correspondence between a user information and the storage area, and when a use request of the computer board is transmitted from a terminal, the management computer selects a usable computer board to turn on a power, reads information necessary to start the computer board from the storage corresponding to the transmitted user information, allows the computer board to start based on the read information, and notifies the terminal of information on the started computer board and identification information on the network allocated to the started computer board.
摘要:
A semiconductor disk wherein a flash memory into which data is rewritten in block unit is employed as a storage medium, the semiconductor disk including a data memory in which file data are stored, a substitutive memory which substitutes for blocks of errors in the data memory, an error memory in which error information of the data memory are stored, and a memory controller which reads data out of, writes data into and erases data from the data memory, the substitutive memory and the error memory. Since the write errors of the flash memory can be remedied, the service life of the semiconductor disk can be increased.
