Provided is a method for producing a recording medium having a recording area in which content information indicating a content and security information for security for the content information are recorded. In the recording area, medium specifying information for uniquely identifying the recording medium itself is recorded in advance. The method includes steps of: (a) writing temporary security information including given information different from the medium specifying information, and the content information in the recording area; (b) reading the medium specifying information and the temporary security information from the recording area; (c) replacing the given information in the temporary security information with the medium specifying information; (d) encrypting the temporary security information in which the given information is replaced with the medium specifying information to generate the security information; and (e) causing the security information generated in the step (d) to be recorded in the recording area.

Method and apparatus for producing recording medium and computer program

A navigation system and a computer program are capable of changing the role of an apparatus that implements navigation in accordance with its performance and circumstances, and achieving single navigation, in a coordinated fashion, with multiple apparatuses to which their roles are appropriately distributed. At least one apparatus is provided with: a plurality of function executing units that independently have different functions for navigation, each of the function executing units performing processing associated with the function in response to a given instruction and returning a result of the processing; and an instruction unit that provides an instruction to each of the plurality of function executing units, and receives a result of the processing returned in response to the instruction; the instruction unit of the apparatus provides an instruction to one or more of the plurality of function executing units according to a procedure suitable for a purpose to be accomplished as to navigation, and outputs navigation data based on a result of processing returned in response to the instruction.

Navigation data processing system, apparatus and computer readable medium

A map output device is provided for preventing a storage medium from being sharedly used. The map output device comprises a connection unit; an output unit that outputs map data; and a control unit. The control unit is configured, when a storage medium is connected to the connection unit or when a movable body is used beyond a predetermined usage amount, to write a file containing information on a unique value related to the movable body into the storage medium connected to the connection unit, and to output, to the output unit, the map data read from the storage medium.
