Patent number: 9871661Abstract: To realize a configuration to output content to a medium and to use the content stored in the medium under control of the use of content. A content-output-device outputs an encrypted content and an encryption key to be applied to the using process to the medium, and a management server generates a media ID verification value based on a media ID that is an identifier of the medium and transmits the value to the medium. The medium stores the encrypted content, the encryption key, and the media ID verification value in a storage unit. A reproduction device loads the medium and calculates a verification value based on the media ID acquired from the medium, and executes a reproducing process of the encrypted content stored in the medium by data processing to which the encryption key is applied on condition that a matching process performed between the verification value and the media ID verification value stored in the medium is established.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2012Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshiyuki Kobayashi, Motoki Kato, Hiroshi Kuno, Takamichi Hayashi

Patent number: 9495998Abstract: Contents data that have been enciphered and transmitted are recorded as they are on a recording medium, and the contents key used to encipher these data is enciphered in a way used in this recording system and is recorded on the medium. Moreover, a step is taken to ensure that fine trick plays can be performed. In recording contents data that have been enciphered and transmitted, the contents data themselves are recorded in the enciphered state on the recording medium. However, the contents data are decoded by a contents data decoding circuit 46, and a map file containing necessary management information for reproduction is created by a map file creating circuit 47 and this file is recorded together with the contents data.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2006Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Tomoyuki Asano, Yoshitomo Osawa, Motoki Kato
