Abstract: An information processing system comprises an information providing medium that stores information in an electromagnetic or optical manner, the information providing medium being attached to an entity in order to provide information associated with the entity; a hand held terminal device having an information read function that reads information from the information providing medium in an electromagnetic or optical manner and record the information; and an information processing unit for retrieving the information recorded in the hand held terminal device; wherein the information providing medium is inconspicuously attached to the entity. In this manner, the information can be recorded into the hand held terminal for later use by a user.

Abstract: A certification system includes a photographing unit 10 which generates looks image data LI whose object is an individual person P, a holographic stereogram manufacturing unit 20 which makes a holographic stereogram HL in accordance with the looks image data LI, a two dimensional photo printing unit 30 which prints the looks image data LI as a two dimensional photograph PIC, an image server 40 which stores the looks image data LI, an information recoding unit 50 which records connection information in a recording member RM, and a manufacturing unit 60 which integrates the recording member RM, the two dimensional photograph PIC, and the holographic stereogram HL to make a certification card CC.

Abstract: An information processing system comprises: information providing electronic parts 11 capable of reading information in an electromagnetic or optical manner, the parts being attached to an entity 2 in order to provide information associated with the entity 2; a hand held terminal device 30 with its information read function that reads information from the information providing electronic parts 11 in an electromagnetic or optical manner and record the information; and an information processing unit 5 for reading and processing the information recorded in this hand held terminal device 30. In this way, in the case where an information user attempts to obtain information associated with an entity such as commodity or advertising material, the information can be electronically recorded momentously and processed.

Abstract: Recording data is recorded on a CD-ROM so as to satisfy a relationship expressed as W.gtoreq.D and W>m where W is the data length of recording data recorded on the CD-ROM, D is the data length of effective data useful for being accessed (system area, file groups selected when data is edited and retrieval data such as volume descriptor, path table and directory) and m is the maximum recordable data length of a blank disk of a CD-ROM to which data recorded on the CD-ROM is copied. Then, when the relationship between the recording data length W and the effective data length D is expressed by W>D, said recording data contains randomly quasi-data useless for being accessed. Further, a part (e.g., path table) of the retrieval data is arranged at the end of the recording data upon recording. Thus, an illegal copy from the CD-ROM to a blank disk becomes substantially useless, thereby making it possible to effectively protect a copyright of the CD-ROM.

Abstract: A recording and/or reproducing apparatus having a plurality of modes of operation, for example, at least recording and reproducing modes of operation, includes a main operating mode selecting device of the non-locked push-button type having push-button actuated switches which are selectively closed momentarily for applying a respective trigger signal to a self-holding operation controlling circuit which thereby assumes a condition corresponding to the selected mode of operation and maintains such condition until another trigger signal is received from the main operating mode selecting device, an auxiliary trigger signal generating circuit operative upon the supplying of electric power therethrough, for example, through a timer-controlled switch, to produce an auxiliary trigger signal, an auxiliary operating mode selecting device, for example, in the form of a manually actuable change-over switch, which is selectively disposable in an inoperative position and in one or more operative positions, for example, co
