Abstract: A recording medium (100) for storing content that can be read and written by a host device stores a content key (a key that is used for encrypting content) (805a) encrypted in a first format, and a content key (805b) that is encrypted in a second format for content that is the same as the content related to the content key (805a) encrypted in the first format. The first format is, for example, a format used for distributed content, and the second format is a format used with local content.

Abstract: A recording medium stores contents and contents keys to be used for encrypting the contents, in a plurality of storage formats. The storage formats include a storage format (a first format) for delivered contents acquired through a network, and a storage format (a second format) for local contents acquired by a method other than the delivery. The intrinsic storage formats of the contents to be stored in the recording medium are determined according to the kinds of the contents. The recording medium stores not only the contents and the contents keys but also original storage format information (an import flag) (851) which is information indicating the intrinsic storage formats of the contents. With reference to the original storage format information, a reproduction device selects a reproduction method in accordance with the intrinsic storage formats of the contents.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory card (101) has a plurality of areas (105, 106) based on different file systems. An adapter (102) includes: an area switching part (110) which a user can operates, a determination part (109) for determining the operation; and a card controller (108) for issuing a switching command for switching the area to be used for the semiconductor memory card (101) in accordance with the judgment result. When the switching command is issued in response to input from the area switching part (110), the command is interpreted by an area selector (107) of the semiconductor memory card (101) so as to select an area.

Abstract: The invention presents an encrypted content playback equipment capable of decryption and playback of an encrypted content by using key information when a key medium storing the key information is not inserted, an encrypted content playback method, a program, and a recording medium for storing the program. An encrypted content playback equipment 100 obtains key information 1 for a key medium 120, and stores the key information 1 in a provisional-key storage memory 102 as provisional key 1a, and obtains provisional-key usage limitation information 2 for limiting the use of provisional key 1a from the key medium 120. The encrypted content playback equipment 100 judges whether the provisional key 1a is usable or not based on the provisional-key usage limitation information 2, and if usable, plays back an encrypted content 3 by using the provisional key 1a.

Abstract: A content search device calculates the number of valid encrypted contents as comparison objects contained in encrypted content databases and the number of valid decryption keys contained in decryption key databases. The database having the smaller number is decided to be a reference database. By successively reading out entries contained in the reference database, a combination of an encrypted content and a corresponding decryption key is searched.

Abstract: An information recording medium (100) is a recording medium to/from which data can be written/read from a data processing apparatus. The recording medium includes a host interface (110) for communicating with the data processing apparatus, a data storage section (130) having a plurality of recording regions (#1, . . . ,#N) for storing data, and a region information storage section (124) for storing information on each recording region. The region information storage section (124) stores information about address attribute of each recording region of the data storage section (130). The information about the address attribute includes information indicating unit (byte or sector) of address specified on access to the recording region.

Abstract: While reproducing content stored in a recording medium, a user terminal as a data processing device downloads a related content as different content related to the reproduction target content from a content distribution server via a communication network. Immediately after the reproduction of the reproduction target content is completed, a notification prompting reproduction or purchase of the related content is provided. This permits immediate reproduction of the related content when the user purchases it, which reduces the user's waiting time, thus improving purchase motivation for the related content.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a scene change in a compressed moving-picture detects the scene change even if frame structure images and field structure images exist together. The apparatus includes an image structure judging portion for judging the image structure of an inputted compressed moving-picture, a feature quantity extracting portion for extracting a feature quantity based on top and bottom double data in vertical direction of the image with respect to a field structure image when the judgment result of the image structure judging portion is a frame structure image, a data memory for storing the data extracted by the feature quantity extracting portion, an extracted data comparing portion for comparing the extracted data and calculating the quantity of variation of a picture, and a scene change judging portion for judging a scene change by the use of the quantity of variation calculated by the extracted data comparing portion.

Abstract: An information recording medium includes a data storage section having a plurality of recording regions for storing data, and a region information storing section operable to store information about each recording region in the data storage section. The region information storing section stores information about a recording region (for example, a recording region has been accessed finally) which is set first as an accessible region when the information recording medium is initialized at the next time among a plurality of recording regions in the data storage section. A data processing apparatus refers to the information about the recording region and changes over a recording region to the recording region specified by the information about the recording region just after initialization of the recording medium.
