  • Patent number: 8549511
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus is described which includes a list fetching section for fetching, from outside, a list of disabled contents information indicating disabling execution of an application program, when the contents data is subjected to a contents data reproducing/copying process for at least reproducing or copying the contents data. When it is determined that a type and/or a version of the application program identified by referring to the starting file corresponds to a type and/or a version of any disabled application program described in the list of disabled contents information, the starting file is not distributed to the application program.

  • Patent number: 8086268
    Abstract: A mobile communication terminal includes: a signal transmission section having a predetermined default value for a transmission characteristic; an antenna to be used at least by the signal transmission section; a separate circuit section sharing ground with the signal transmission section and the antenna, and being different from the signal transmission section; a monitoring section monitoring a change in a use state of the terminal related to the separate circuit section; and when the signal transmission section transmits a signal using the antenna, if the monitoring section detects a change in the use state of the terminal, a transmission-characteristic adjusting section adjusting a transmission characteristic of the signal transmission section from the default value to a characteristic optimized for the use state.

  • Publication number: 20050262496
    Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus, an executability determining method and a computer program for the same. The information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a list fetching section for fetching from outside disabled contents list information indicating disabled contents information disabling execution of an application program, when the contents data is subjected to a contents data reproducing/copying process for at least reproducing or copying the contents data, including a type and/or a version of the application program; and a verifying section for verifying a type and/or a version of an application program identified by referring to a starting file fetched together with the disabled contents list from the outside to at least one or more disabled contents information described in the disabled contents list information.
