  • Publication number: 20170329766
    Abstract: [Object] To provide an information processing apparatus, a control method, and a program capable of presenting information that a user seems to want at an appropriate timing by responding to unusual behavior on the basis of behavior information of the user. [Solution] An information processing apparatus including: a behavior analysis unit configured to analyze a behavior pattern in a predetermined time period on the basis of accumulated behavior information; a generation unit configured to, in a case where a behavior different from the behavior pattern is detected, generate a response to the different behavior; and a determination unit configured to determine an output timing of the generated response.

  • Patent number: 8571988
    Abstract: An electronic money system includes a plurality of electronic money terminals for withdrawing a sum of money which is spent by a user from money data which has been deposited into an information card. Utilization-history data including the number of times the information card has been utilized, and accumulated in the information card is read out at the time when data relating to the spent money is also withdrawn from the information card. Utilization-history data read out from each of the electronic money terminals are gathered and coordinated, so as to coordinate and tabulate the utilization-histories of the information card which has been utilized on any of the plurality electronic money terminals.

  • Patent number: 8559428
    Abstract: MTID of a terminal apparatus is preliminarily registered into a database of an ISP. In step S2, when a power source of the terminal apparatus is turned on first, (MTID=B) is transmitted from the terminal apparatus to a router. A transmission signal is received by the router and (HGWID=A, MTID=B) is transmitted from the router to the ISP. If (HGWID=A, MTID=B) has been registered in the database, the ISP transmits a permission message in step S5. In step S6, an IP address for a new terminal apparatus is allocated and the new terminal apparatus can participate in a homenetwork. If (HGWID=A, MTID=B) is not registered, a refusal message is sent to the router.

  • Patent number: 8036388
    Abstract: Content data encrypted with a content key, the content key encrypted with an individual key specific to an information sending device, and the individual key encrypted with a distribution key that is updated in a predetermined cycle, and supplied are sent to an information receiving device, and the information receiving device decrypts the individual key with the distribution key, decrypts the content key with the individual key, and decrypts the content data with the content key. Thus, the information sending device does not have the distribution key, and accordingly piracy of content data can be prevented with a simple configuration. Also, the information receiving device sends the content key and a playback command to other apparatuses. Thus, other apparatuses can play back contents using the playback command and the content key. Furthermore, the information sending device decrypts the content key with the distribution key before being updated, and stores the same.

  • Patent number: 7644443
    Abstract: A content distribution is performed by a secure container including a content encrypted by a content key and container information set for a content transaction. The container information includes a person identification certificate identifiers list. Usage control status information including the list is generated and stored in a device during a secondary distribution among user devices after a primary distribution of the content. In the distribution among the user devices, identifying an identification certificate in reference to the list and performing a person authentication based on the identification certificate allows each of the user devices to use the transmitted content, when the authentication is affirmative.
