Abstract: A shared storage device stores therein a correspondence between data retrieved by data collectors bys previously searching a data controller and a search target data identification (ID) for searching the data controller. The data collector first accesses the shared storage device and uses the search target data ID to search the shared storage device. Upon corresponding data being stored in the shared storage device, the data collector retrieves the data and transmits the retrieved data and the search target data ID to a load-dispersing device. Upon the corresponding data not being stored in the shared storage device, the data collector uses the search target data ID to search the data controller. After retrieving the data from the data controller, the data collector transmits to the load-dispersing device and further transmits to the shared storage device, the read data and the search target data ID used to search the data controller.

Abstract: With content management apparatus 110 serving as a copy origin and storage medium 120 as a copy target, the copy origin retains allowed copy count control information on content, and when the content is copied from the copy origin to the copy target, the allowed copy count control information retained at the copy origin before copy processing is updated in accordance with a predetermined rule to generate allowed copy count control information to be retained at the copy origin and allowed copy count control information to be retained at the copy target, and subsequent copy processing at the copy origin is done based on the allowed copy count control information retained at the copy origin, whereas subsequent copy processing on the content stored in storage medium 120 is done based on the allowed copy count control information stored in storage medium 120. In this way, it is possible to achieve content management which is easily understandable for users.

Abstract: There is provided a content use management method capable of preventing unauthorized distribution of a content and improving user-friendliness. In this method, the same group key is stored in a secure device (400) and a playback terminal (500). Moreover, a license issuing application is received from a license distribution server (200) and stored in the secure device (400). After this, a license encrypted by the group key is sent to the playback terminal (500) and the license encrypted by the group key is stored in the playback terminal (500). Upon playback of the encrypted content, the playback terminal (500) decrypts the license by using the group key and acquires the content decryption key, thereby decrypting the encrypted content. Even when the encrypted license flows into the network, it cannot be decrypted by a playback terminal not having the same group key and the copyright is protected.

Abstract: A recording apparatus is provided for an SD memory card that has a plurality of EPUBxxx.KEY files recorded thereon, each file having a plurality of Key&Rule Entry areas, and an SD_EPUB.MMG file being read from the recording medium prior to the writing of data. A bitmap in SD_EPUB.MMG shows for each EPUBxxx.KEY file whether the EPUBxxx.KEY file has at least one Key&Rule Entry area not in use, or whether all the Key&Rule Entry areas are in use. Based on the bitmap in the read SD_EPUB.MMG file, the recording apparatus opens EPUB#u.KEY having an unused Key&Rule Entry area and writes data into the unused Key&Rule Entry area in the file. If all the Key&Rule Entry areas in EPUB#u.KEY become in use as a result of the writing of the data, the recording apparatus updates the bitmap in SD_EPUB.MMG.
