A memory region on an IC card has a hierarchical structure. Each application allocated on the memory region is registered in a directory, and the memory region is managed in directory units. A personal identification code is set for each application and directory, and the access right is controlled in application units or directory units. If a mobile terminal is lost, the right to access each application in the IC card automatically disappears. Therefore, the right to access each application allocated to the memory region on the IC card is efficiently controlled.

Integrated circuit device, information processing apparatus, memory management method for information storage device, mobile terminal apparatus, semiconductor integrated circuit device, and communication method using mobile terminal apparatus

Provided is an information processing apparatus including a storage part for storing criteria information of a plurality of destinations, and a display control part for performing control to display transmission capability information indicating whether it is possible to transmit, to each of the destinations, a selected motion picture file in a predetermined range selected from a motion picture file by a user, the transmission capability information being derived based on information about the selected motion picture file and the criteria information.

Selective transmission of motion picture files

An information processing apparatus includes: a display unit including a screen; a detection unit configured to detect a position designated by a user on the screen; and a controller configured to display, with at least a partial range of a moving image being a display range, a plurality of images corresponding to a plurality of frames belonging to the display range by annularly arranging them in time series, and shift, when an operation is judged to be made along a direction in which the plurality of images are arranged based on a result of the detection by the detection unit, the display range in the moving image.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An information processing apparatus includes a content metadata obtaining unit configured to obtain content metadata; a determination unit configured to determine the category of the content metadata; an editing unit configured to edit the content metadata so that, when text data of the content metadata is to be reproduced on the basis of the category of the content metadata determined by the determination unit, information on a predetermined link destination is displayed in response to a predetermined operation being performed on the reproduced text data; a reproduction unit configured to reproduce the text data of the content metadata in synchronization with the reproduction of the content; and a display unit configured to display the information on the link destination on the basis of the content metadata edited by the editing unit when the predetermined operation is performed on the text data of the content metadata reproduced by the reproduction unit.

Information processing apparatus and method, and program

An information processing apparatus includes area image extracting means for extracting, as a telop image, an area displaying a telop in contents, detecting means for detecting a scene change in images of the contents, recording means for converting an image at the time when a scene change is detected by the detecting means to a thumbnail image and recording the thumbnail image, display control means for controlling to arrange and display a plurality of the thumbnail images and a plurality of the telop images chronologically, and playing means for playing the contents from the position corresponding to the selected thumbnail image or telop image.

Information processing apparatus, method and program

An IC card issuer issues an IC card and requests a card memory area operator to lend part of a memory area of the IC card to another card memory area user. The card memory area operator provides a memory area division apparatus and various data to the memory area division apparatus under the control of an operator communication apparatus. The card memory area user divides the memory area of the IC card into a memory area to be used by the IC card issuer and a memory area to be used by the card memory area user. The operation file registration apparatus writes file data for the card memory area user to the memory area of the card memory area user obtained by the above division.

Data processing method, system and apparatus for processing a variety of demands from a service provider

A code range which is the range of usable identification codes (corresponding to file names or directory names) is stored in an area defining area corresponding to a directory, and a layer structure in which the area defining area concerned is set as a parent layer and the other area defining areas are set as child layers is constructed on the basis of the code range. Further, the capacity (empty capacity) of the usable storage area is stored in the area defining area, and the capacity and identification codes which are usable in the layer of an area defining area are restricted by the empty capacity and the code range.

Data storage device and data storage method

The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus that allows separately forming regions having different roles. When an area definition region #0100h is newly formed under an area definition region #0000h that is formed on an IC card, information of the area definition region #0100h is encrypted using a service key stored in an area registration service definition region #0020h that is formed in advance, and the encrypted information is supplied to the IC card. Upon receiving that information, the IC card decrypts the encrypted information using the service key stored in the area registration service definition region #0020h. Then, the area definition region #0100h is formed based on the result of decryption. The present invention may be applied to an IC card that exchanges information in a non-contact manner and to an apparatus that exchanges data with the IC card.

The invention provides an information processing system, a portable electronic device, an access apparatus for the portable electronic device, as well as a method of using a memory space. When applied to, for example, a system employing non-contact IC cards, the invention enables one IC card to be used for a plurality of business organizations in common. To this end, an access key is created based on issuer key information managed by a management sector and file key information specific to each business organization, and the created access key is signed to the business organization. A portable electronic device is then accessed using the access key.

In a registered card issuing information supply device, the registered card issuing information is encrypted, and the encrypted registered card issuing information thus obtained is transmitted through a transmission mediumto a registered card issuing machine. In the registered card issuing machine, the encrypted registered card issuing information from the registered card issuing information supply deviceis received and registered. When the registered card issuing machineis allowed to communicate with the IC card, it transmits the encrypted registered card issuing information thus registered to the IC card. In the IC card, the encrypted registered card issuing information from the registered card issuing machineis decoded, and the registered card issuing information thus obtained is stored.
