Abstract: In a content processing terminal, a package memory which stores a package in which metadata containing copyright information of a secondary use content and an encrypted content is arranged. Input new data is sequentially written in a new creation memory. The metadata of the secondary use content is written in the new creation memory in accordance with a secondary use request for the content. The encrypted content is decrypted by using a key which is input for pay, the decrypted content is inserted in the new data, and the new data in which the decrypted content is inserted is displayed and output.

Abstract: A solid state image sensor includes an area sensor section having photoelectric conversion pixels arranged in the form of a matrix, a pixel selection section for selecting a pixel of the area sensor section and reading out a video signal, an analog signal processor section for performing signal processing for the video signal, an analog-digital conversion section for converting the processed signal into a digital signal, a digital signal processor section for performing signal processing to convert the digital signal into a digital signal having a predetermined signal format, and an interface section which operates in accordance with an external command, and has the function of selecting a video signal obtained by digitizing a pixel or a signal obtained by performing processing for the luminance and color difference signals of the video signal. These sections are mounted on a single chip.

Abstract: An information communication system in which main data and restore-date used for restoring the main data are written in a memory card by a first information apparatus. The main data and the restore-data are read from the memory card by a second information apparatus. On the basis of the restore-data, the main data is restored by the second information apparatus. The main data, thus restored is processed and/or output by the second information apparatus.

Abstract: A coding apparatus for coding symbolized information signals includes a coding unit for assigning fixed-length code words to a plurality of information symbol strings consisting of at least one type of a given number of information symbols and coding the information signals on the basis of this assignment, a control information adding unit for adding control information containing information for performing predetermined processing to the code words, and a transmitting/recording unit including at least one of a unit for transmitting and a unit for recording the code words added with the control information.

Abstract: A system for transmitting encoded image data capable of transmitting the multiple view image data, without causing a significant level of an increase of a size of the system, a delay in a data transmission, and a limitation on a number of communication channels.
