  • Publication number: 20090041424
    Abstract: A conventional recording and reproducing apparatus cannot move second copyright-protected AV data while moving a first copyright-protected AV content when moving such AV data via a network because the recording and reproducing apparatus issues an exchange key to be used for decrypting the AV data to a single receiving-side recording and reproducing apparatus only. The recording and reproducing apparatus of the present invention generates a new exchange key as a random number and transmits the new exchange key each time an exchange key for use in a move mode is requested; while it always transmits an identical exchange key when a normal exchange key is requested. The recording and reproducing apparatus selects an exchange key to be used according to the address of a recording and reproducing apparatus which is the transmission destination when encrypting an AV content to be transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20080091830
    Abstract: The present invention provides a transmitting apparatus, a receiving apparatus, and a file transfer system, by which processing of transferring a file is efficiently executed, even if the file transfer is temporarily stopped for a long time in the file transfer system in which the transmitting apparatus voluntarily transmits the file to the receiving apparatus. In the file transfer system of the present invention, a sink apparatus, which is the receiving apparatus, receives file data included in a file from a source apparatus, which is the transmitting apparatus, and then stores the received file data. When a size of the stored data is inquired from the source apparatus, the sink apparatus informs the size to the source apparatus. Further, the source apparatus detects stopping of the file transfer. After the detecting of the stopping of the file transfer, the source apparatus inquires the size of stored data to the sink apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20060218251
    Abstract: In reproducing the AV contents, the information concerning the configuration of reproduction block (e.g., GOP) composing the AV contents is needed. In the case of network reproduction, it was requisite that an AV contents reproducing apparatus acquired this information from an AV server. The present invention provides an AV contents reproducing method, an AV server and an AV contents reproducing apparatus in which this information is unnecessary to transmit or receive. The AV contents reproducing apparatus transmits a reproduction start request by specifying the start request position, and the AV server starts to transmit the AV contents from the top position of reproduction block (e.g., GOP) near the start request position.
