[0042] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a rights information management device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The right information management device 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 12 , an encryption and decryption circuit 14 and a storage medium input / output interface unit 16 . A portable storage medium 20 is removably connected to the storage medium input / output interface unit 16 . The storage medium 20 is, for example, a secure digital memory card.

[0043]The central processing unit 12 controls the encryption and decryption circuit 14 and the storage medium input interface unit 16 . The storage medium I / O interface section 16 reads data from the storage medium 20 and outputs the information to the central processing unit 12 or the encryption and decryption circuit 14, and writes the data received from the central processing unit 12 or the encryption and decryption circuit 14 into the storage med...

[0059] FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a structure of a storage medium 220 and an example of information stored in the storage medium 220 in the second embodiment. In this embodiment, the storage medium 220 is used instead of the storage medium 20 in FIG. 1 . The storage medium 220 includes a normal area 222 and an authentication area 24 . The normal area 222 stores encrypted content 232 and encrypted right information conversion information 234 , and the authentication area 24 stores encrypted right information 36 . For example, the CPU 12 stores encrypted right information 36 in the authentication area 24 , and stores encrypted content 232 and encrypted right information conversion information 234 in the normal area 222 .

[0060] FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of encrypted right information conversion information 234 in FIG. 5 . The encrypted right information conversion information 234 is information obtained by encrypting the right information con...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for managing copyright information on content stored in a storage medium including a protected region, which is accessible after mutual authentication, and a data region, which is accessible without mutual authentication. This method includes: the step of storing, in the protected region, encrypted copyright information obtained by encrypting the copyright information, and the content storing step of storing, in the data region, encrypted information that contains the content, and copyright information conversion information that contains copyright information, which is to be set for the content and corresponds to a format. It is therefore to protect copyright on content, in accordance with the format of the content after the conversion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for managing right information of digital content, in particular to a method for managing right information when digital content is format converted. Background technique [0002] In digital audio-visual (AV: audiovisual) equipment, mobile communication equipment, etc. (hereinafter, the equipment will be collectively referred to as digital equipment) that process digitized content such as images or sounds, there is a method for storing content in a portable storage medium. The functions in the machine are more and more. Among the portable storage media that store digital content, there are media that have the function of protecting the copyright of the content, thereby realizing the protection of the content itself and its rights information (information indicating whether playback is possible, whether copying is possible, or how many times it can be copied, etc.) (eg, Secure Digital (SD: Secure Digital) memor...
