Abstract: A user notification method performed by a handwritten data capture device includes determining whether a pointing body is in a pen-up state or a pen-down state, and determining whether coordinate data of a pointing body on a touch sensor of the handwritten data capture device is stored in a first area of a memory. In response to determining that the coordinate data is stored in the first area of the memory and that the pointing body is in the pen-up state, making a first user notification, for example, by causing a LED lamp to slowly flash a light green color. In response to an acceptance of a given user operation, switching a storage destination of the coordinate data to a second area of the memory that is different from the first area. Accordingly, a user may be prevented from forgetting to press an operating button for changing a storage destination file of handwritten data.

Abstract: Authentication information encrypted by using a predetermined encryption method is added to contents information. When executing or reproducing the contents information by using an information processing apparatus, a decision is made whether information encrypted by using the predetermined encryption method is contained in acquired information. When such information is not contained, the contents information is not reproduced, executed, or output.
