Patent number: 8266450Abstract: It is possible to achieve the protection of software with reduced overhead. For example, a memory for storing an encrypted code prepared in advance and a decryptor module for decrypting the code are provided. The decryptor module includes, for example, a three-stage pipeline and a selector for selecting one output from the outputs of each stage of the pipeline. When a branch instruction is issued and subsequent inputs of the pipeline are in the order of CD?1, CD?2, . . . , the decryptor module outputs a first decrypted code by performing a one-stage pipeline process to CD?1. Next, the decryptor module outputs a second decrypted code by performing a two-stage pipeline process to CD?2, and the decryptor module outputs a third decrypted code by performing a three-stage pipeline process to CD?3 (and subsequent codes). Therefore, in particular, the overhead to CD?1 can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2009Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Takashi Endo, Toshio Okochi, Shunsuke Ota, Tatsuya Kameyama

Patent number: 8234584Abstract: Provided is a computer system including an information providing server and a computer which is coupled to the information providing server, and which collects information, the computer being configured to: record status histories including a history of an operation to a screen which shows a status of the computer, and which is displayed on the computer in chronological order to constitute a set of the status histories; and divide, in a case where a history of an operation of switching the screen is detected from the set of the status histories, based on the history of the operation of switching the screen, the set of the status histories. Accordingly, when a user collects information, navigation information is provided by taking the fact that the user has actually reached useful information into consideration.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2009Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Motobayashi, Toshio Okochi, Michiko Sakai, Maki Hayashi, Akio Azuma

Patent number: 8094975Abstract: Provided is an information processing system which has a plurality of tags, a tag reader, a digital-pen, and a server. The plurality of tags each hold a tag identifier. The tag reader reads the tag identifier held in each of the plurality of tags. The digital-pen reads location information, which identifies a location where handwriting is made on paper. The server keeps work record including information that associates the tag identifier recorded in the server in advance with the location on paper. When it is judged that the read tag identifier and a handwriting location identified by the location information are associated with each other, the server judges whether or not the read tag identifier matches the tag identifier recorded in advance that is associated by the work record with the handwriting location identified by the location information. The server outputs a result of the judging.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2008Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd,Inventors: Toshio Okochi, Kei Suzuki, Kazuhiko Matsumoto

Patent number: 8009827Abstract: An increase in safety from attacks by use of hardware-like methods by small-sized hardware is achieved. An encryption processing device includes a logical circuit capable of programmably setting logics for executing cipher processing, a memory that stores plural pieces of logical configuration information corresponding to an identical cipher processing algorithm, and a CPU that selectively sets plural logics corresponding to an identical cipher processing algorithm in the logical circuit. Even in processing using an identical cipher key, by changing the logic of the logical circuit for each processing, power consumption in cipher processing can be varied, and places a timing in which malfunctions occur can be varied. Moreover, an increase in the scale of hardware for realizing plural logics can be curbed.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2007Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Toshio Okochi, Takashi Endo, Takashi Watanabe, Tatsuya Kameyama, Shunsuke Ota

Patent number: 7693675Abstract: Methods of confidential data sharing and mutual authentication between a sensor node and a router are established, and data in the sensor node is protected from a physical attack. Sensor node issuing processing is performed on a sensor node having a tamper resistant device. The sensor node issuing processing is processing in which data and a function that are deactivated are loaded in the tamper resistant device of the sensor node from the time of manufacture of the sensor node to the time the sensor node reaches a system that runs the sensor node. Activation data is used to activate the deactivated data and function. The activation data is shared between stages of the issuing processing with the use of a data management system.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2007Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Motobayashi, Akiko Sato, Toshio Okochi

Patent number: 7664939Abstract: A program to be executed by a computer is divided into a plurality of code blocks, and, a unique code block ID is allotted to each code block. At the moment when the execution of the program is started, the code block ID corresponding to the execution start address is written in a memory, and in the case when the control transits from the code block to other code block, by use of code block operation values obtained beforehand from these two code block IDs thereof, the code block ID in the memory is updated, and it is judged whether the updated code block ID in the memory and the code block ID allotted to the code block as the execution objective are identical or not so that a control flow error is detected.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2007Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Endo, Toshio Okochi, Takashi Watanabe, Shunsuke Ota, Tatsuya Kameyama

Patent number: 7587221Abstract: An attribute value of a matter accompanied by a sensor is transmissibly accessible in a sensor node system constituted by wireless terminal computers having the sensor, the wireless communication base stations and server computers. The wireless terminal computer reports at the time of wireless communication an identification number of a wireless communication base station with which it communicates previously. A relay processing service is dynamically constituted so that when a wireless communication base station different from itself is reported, the wireless base station as the communication counter-part can transmissbly look up the wireless terminal computer from a host computer.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2006Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Yusuke Mishina, Toshio Okochi, Akiko Sato, Masahiro Motobayashi

Publication number: 20080045218Abstract: In the prior art, the initialization process for communication between a wireless communication terminal and a base station is executed by activating the wireless communication terminal with a built-in battery. As a result, the problem is posed that a great amount of power is consumed during the initialization process and the battery of the wireless communication terminal is consumed early. Especially, in the case where the network configuration is required to be changed frequently, the life of the battery of the wireless communication terminal is extremely shortened resulting in a low practical value. In view of this, a passive RFID is mounted on the wireless communication terminal, and the initialization process is executed by the power supplied from the base station using the RFID interface. As a result, the battery consumption of the wireless communication terminal can be prevented in the initialization process.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2004Publication date: February 21, 2008Inventors: Toshio Okochi, Yusuke Mishina
