摘要:
In a metadata collection system comprising a plurality of content management servers each capable of managing content and content metadata as local content and managing content metadata stored in another content management server as reference content and a metadata collection apparatus connected with the plurality of content management servers to collect metadata from the plurality of content management servers, the metadata collection apparatus collects metadata from the individual content management servers based upon server information held at the content management servers and category identifiers appended to tree structures generated at the content management servers by individually referencing the plurality of content management servers.

A content sharing system includes a plurality of client stations, each including a content acquiring unit, and one or more content management servers that manage a plurality of content items. The content management server includes a storage unit that stores meta data of the content items, a tree structure generating unit that generates a tree structure including a plurality of containers arranged in hierarchical levels, each container having an identifier representing a type of content assigned thereto, a content allocating unit that allocates the content items to the containers on the basis of the meta data and the identifiers, and a content presenting unit that presents the tree structure having the content items allocated thereto to the client station. The content acquiring unit acquires the tree structure from the content management server and acquires the one or more content items from the content management server using the acquired tree structure.

An apparatus and a method which enable to execute different access controls based on setting modes are realized. A MAC address table in which a manually registered client MAC address and an automatically registered client MAC address are registered in forms to be able to distinguish each other is set. If an access control mode is an automatic registration access control mode, a MAC addresses of an access requesting client is registered until the number of the MAC address reaches a defined limit number of registration: N of the MAC address table, and the access is allowed under the condition of the registration; or if the access control mode is a registered device access control mode, the access is allowed under the condition that the client MAC address is registered in the MAC address table as the manually registered MAC address.

An information processing unit includes an application data receiving buffer to temporarily store data transmitted from a client device for initiating a connection, an application data receiving section to acquire the data transmitted from the client device from the application data receiving buffer and transmit the data to an upper layer application, and a flow control reception management section to transfer the data transmitted from the client device to the application data receiving buffer and monitor a free space in the application data receiving buffer and supply a data size receivable by the application data receiving buffer to the client device.
摘要:
There are provided an apparatus and method that generate a MAC list that serves as an access control list efficiently without burdening a user. A MAC list registration processing request packet is automatically transmitted by using as a trigger either a power-on process of the power source of a client apparatus connected to a network or an activation process of a specific application, e.g., an execution application for services using a home network. A server performs a registration process by acquiring information such as a MAC address from the received packet in accordance with a state of empty slots in the MAC list. According to this configuration, it is possible to easily and correctly generate the MAC list, which serves as the access control list, without burdening a user.

An apparatus and method that, in transmission and playback of content between a server and a client, efficiently executes playing back part of content, such as an impressive portion, is provided. By setting index information as partial data region identification information in property information corresponding to content retained by the server, when a content request from the client includes partial playback specification information, the index information is acquired from the property information corresponding to the specified content, and the content is acquired and transmitted to the client. This configuration enables the client to enjoy playback of content of only particular partial data such as an impressive portion of content received from a server or a user's favorite portion.

摘要:
In view of the fact that devices connected on a home network are located in home, that is, at close range and therefore a user can physically access the devices within a relatively short period of time, identifying whether or not a home server for distributing the contents and a client terminal using the contents are connected to the same home network based on whether or not they can share access to the same physical medium within a short period of time. The authenticity of devices connected on a home network connected to an external network via a router is authenticated.
