Abstract: The present invention intends to provide a semiconductor recording device that is able to continuously record data and has high reliability even in a case where writing errors frequently occur. When data to be written is recorded as an error correction code (ECC) in a plurality of physical blocks constituting a nonvolatile memory and a writing error occurred, a time interval between the writing error that occurred immediately before and the present writing error is detected. Then, when the time interval is within a first reference time, an error position management unit registers a writing error occurrence block number and block numbers grouped with the writing error occurrence block in the ECC. Then, the writing error registered in the error position management unit is read at a predetermined timing, and the error is corrected on the basis of the ECC and the corrected data is rewritten.

Abstract: A memory card controller is provided with a clock start/end control unit that suspends supply of a clock signal to the memory card when a data amount transferred from the memory card as a result of the transfer operation reaches a data amount specified by an nth command received from the host device. The memory card controller resumes supply of the clock signal to the memory card if a subsequent command received with supply of the clock signal to the SD card in a suspended state specifies an address consecutive to an end address of data transfer requested by the nth command as a start address.

Abstract: A server stores original data without a water-mark. When a user at a terminal apparatus connected with the server requests the server to display the original data on a display of the terminal apparatus, the server transforms the original data into an image data. Then the server adds a water-mark to the image data and transmits the image data with the water-mark to the terminal apparatus.

Abstract: In a communication method for enabling communication between a card and a management server that manages the card and for writing information transmitted from the management server to the card, a server state flag and a card state flag are created to indicate the processing state of the management server and the processing state of the card, respectively. The server state flag and the card state flag are occasionally updated during communication between the card and the management server. On the basis of the card state flag, it is determined whether or not the writing by the management server to the card is completed normally. When the writing is not completed normally, the card is rewritten the next time communication is established between the card and the management server, the rewriting being defined in accordance with the card state flag and the server state flag.

Abstract: Relevant document data are retrieved from a document management server that stores document data in accordance with a user operation at a document management client. A content of the document data is shown to the user at the document management client so that the user can provide an instruction whether to execute an alteration prevention by an operation of the user. When an instruction to execute an alteration prevention is provided, alteration prevention processing is executed at the document management server.

Abstract: A distribution server distributes over a network, menu information that contains information for executing a job using a multifunction apparatus and information for identifying the job. The distribution server sets at least a portion of the information for executing the job using the multifunction apparatus as additional information added later to the menu information, and adds an input instruction to the menu information for executing additional information input using the multifunction apparatus. The multifunction apparatus that obtains the menu temporarily determines a portion of a fixed job for execution.
