Abstract

A remote controller is connected to a cellular phone. A memory card is loaded in the remote controller. A headphone is connected to the remote controller. The cellular phone receives encrypted content data and a license key used to decrypt the encrypted content data from a distribution server and transmits the encrypted content data and license key to the remote controller. The remote controller records the received license key and encrypted content data into a memory card. The remote controller reads out and reproduces the license key and encrypted content data from the memory card for output to the headphone. Thus, a data terminal device of high usability that allows the user to easily obtain and reproduce the desired data can be provided.

Claims

1. A data terminal device receiving encrypted data that is an encrypted version of data and a license key that is a decryption key used to decrypt said encrypted data to obtain said data from a portable terminal apparatus that receives said encrypted data and said license data, and transmitting said received encrypted data and license data to a data recording device, and reproducing said encrypted data from said data recording device, said data terminal device comprising:

a first interface unit to transfer data with said portable terminal apparatus,

a second interface unit to transfer data with said data recording device,

an authentication data hold unit storing a pre-assigned authentication data to be output to said data recording device,

a decryption processing unit decrypting said encrypted data using said license key, and

a control unit,

wherein said control unit receives said encrypted data and said license data from said portable terminal apparatus via said first interface unit to transmit the received encrypted data and license key to said data recording device via said second interface unit in a data distribution mode, and

wherein said control unit transmits said authentication data to said data recording device via said second interface unit to receive said license key and said encrypted data transmitted from said data recording device in response to authentication of said authentication data in said data recording device, and applying the received license key and encrypted data to said decryption processing unit in a data reproduction mode.

2. The data terminal device according to claim 1, wherein said first interface unit receives driving power from said portable terminal apparatus.

3. The data terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising a power control unit controlling driving power.

4. The data terminal device according to claim 1, wherein said first interface unit receives said encrypted data and said license key from said portable terminal apparatus through wire.

5. The data terminal device according to claim 3, wherein said first interface unit receives said encrypted data and said license key through radio communication from said portable terminal apparatus.

6. The data terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising a key operation unit connected to said control unit to receive a reproduction request from a user,

wherein said control unit, upon receiving said reproduction request via said key operation unit, transmits said authentication data to said data recording device via said second interface unit, and receives said license key and said encrypted data sent from said data recording device in response to authentication of said authentication data in said data recording device to apply said received license key and encrypted data to said decryption processing unit in a data reproduction mode.

7. The data terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a session key generator generating a first session key to obtain said license key from said data recording device, and

an encryption processing unit encrypting said first session key using a second session key obtained from said data recording device based on authentication of said authentication data in said data recording device,

wherein said decryption processing unit comprises

a first decryption processing unit decrypting said license key encrypted by said first session key, and

a second decryption processing unit decrypting said encrypted data using said license key decrypted at said first decryption processing unit,

wherein said control unit further applies said second session key to said encryption processing unit, applies the license key encrypted by said first session key to said first decryption processing unit, and applies said encrypted data to said second decryption processing unit.

8. The data terminal device according to claim 7, further comprising:

a key hold unit storing a private decryption key asymmetric to a public encryption key included in said authentication data, and

a third decryption processing unit decrypting said second session key encrypted by said public encryption key using said private decryption key,

wherein said control unit receives said second session key encrypted by said public encryption key from said data recording device, and applies said second session key to said third decryption processing unit, and applies the second session key decrypted at said third decryption processing unit to said encryption processing unit in a data reproduction mode.

9. The data terminal device according to claim 1, wherein said encrypted data includes encrypted music data,

said portable terminal apparatus is a portable cellular phone,

said data terminal device further comprising:

a music reproduction unit reproducing music data decrypted by said decryption processing unit, and

a terminal to provide the music data reproduced by said music reproduction unit to an external output device.

10. A headphone device comprising:

a first speaker unit including a power source, and

a second speaker unit including a detach unit to attach or detach a data recording device, and a data terminal circuit,

wherein said data terminal circuit comprises

a first interface unit to transfer data with a portable terminal apparatus that receives encrypted data and a license key used to decrypt said encrypted data,

a second interface unit to transfer data with said data recording device,

an authorization data hold unit storing authentication data with respect to said data recording device,

a decryption processing unit decrypting said encrypted data using said license key, and

a control unit,

wherein said control unit receives said encrypted data and said license key from said portable terminal apparatus via said first interface unit to send the received encrypted data and license key to said data recording device via said second interface unit in a data distribution mode,

wherein said control unit transmits said authentication data to said data recording device via said second interface unit, and receives said license key and said encrypted data transmitted from said data recording device in response to authentication of said authentication data in said data recording device to apply the received license key and encrypted data to said decryption processing unit in a data reproduction mode.

11. The headphone device according to claim 10, wherein said data recording device comprises

a memory storing said encrypted data and said license key,

an authentication key hold unit storing a public authentication key used to decrypt said authentication data, and

an authentication data decryption processing unit decrypting said authentication data using said public authentication key, and

a control unit,

wherein said control unit applies the authentication data transmitted from said data terminal circuit to said authentication data decryption processing unit to have authenticity of said data terminal circuit verified based on authentication data decrypted by said authentication data decryption processing unit, and then reads out said encrypted data and said license data from said memory to transmit said encrypted data and said license key to said data terminal circuit in a data reproduction mode.
