Abstract: There is demand that discrimination of bills or securities by means of IC chip should be adopted. If the conveying speed of securities and banknotes is slowed down substantially by implementing discrimination by an IC chip, this gives rise to delays of the transaction process, which causes inconvenience to the user. For instance, security can be preferentially made high for high-value banknotes and securities based on the state of circulation of IC-mounted banknotes and securities. ID information in the IC chip may be read in advance, the ID information may be referred to the ID information center, while reference is being made to the center, a discrimination result other than by the IC chip may be obtained, and by comparing the other discrimination result with the result of reference, the discrimination accuracy may be improved by using discrimination by the IC chip without greatly slowing down the conveying speed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a digital contents selling system for selling digital contents. Identification information of digital contents selected by a customer is received. Personal digital contents are generated by setting identification information for identifying the customer in the selected digital contents as status information for permitting the customer to replay the selected digital contents. The generated digital contents are sold. Thereby, a technique is provided for preventing the illegal use of the sold digital contents.
