  • Publication number: 20040229598
    Abstract: A mobile phone 100-1 transmits an identification number of the mobile phone 100-1 to a car navigation device 10. Next, the mobile phone 100-1 transmits a host application to the car navigation device 500. The car navigation device 500 stores the identification number and the host application. Upon receipt of a request in which an identification number is included from the car navigation device 500, the mobile phone 100-1 checks the identification number. If the number is correct, the mobile phone 100-1 transmits a guest application executable with the host application to the car navigation device 10. As a result, illegal copy of a digital content via local communication is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20040212485
    Abstract: A communication terminal first transmits to an electronic device a request for a device ID of the electronic device. Upon receipt of a device ID, the communication terminal authenticates the device using the ID. If the authentication is successful, the communication terminal reads from a storage an application program for executing the content, in which program a content provider ID is included, and transmits the program to the device. Upon receipt of a content provider ID from the electronic device, in which the application program is executed, the communication terminal authenticates the content provider ID to determine whether the device is authorized to receive the content. If the authentication is successful, the communication terminal reads the content from the storage, and transfers it to the device.
