Recording/reproducing apparatus, data moving method, and data deletion method
First Claim
1. A recording/reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- a first storage section for storing data structure information which includes encrypted data;
a special information holding section for holding special information associated with the data structure information; and
a controller for controlling the first storage section and the special information holding section, wherein the data structure information and the special information are associated with each other such that the special information is updated in response to an update of the data structure information, or such that the data structure information is updated in response to an update of the special information, the controller controls movement of the encrypted data from the first storage section to a second storage section, and the controller updates the special information held in the special information holding section such that a mismatch occurs between the special information obtained before the movement of the encrypted data from the first storage section to the second storage section and the special information obtained after the movement of the encrypted data from the first storage section to the second storage section.

Abstract
A recording/reproducing apparatus includes: a first storage section for storing data structure information which includes encrypted data; a special information holding section for holding special information associated with the data structure information; and a controller for controlling the first storage section and the special information holding section. The data structure information is associated with the special information such that the special information is updated in response to an update of the data structure information, or such that the data structure information is updated in response to an update of the special information. The controller controls movement of the encrypted data from the first storage section to a second storage section, and the controller updates the special information such that a mismatch occurs between the special information obtained before the movement of the encrypted data and the special information obtained after the movement of the encrypted data.

12. A recording/reproducing apparatus, comprising:
-
a storage section for storing data structure information which includes encrypted data, the encrypted data including a content which is allowed to be stored for a predetermined time period;
a special information holding section for holding special information associated with the data structure information; and
a controller for controlling the storage section and the special information holding section, wherein the data structure information and the special information are associated with each other such that the special information is updated in response to an update of the data structure information, or such that the data structure information is updated in response to an update of the special information, the controller controls deletion of the content from the storage section after a predetermined time period has elapsed, and the controller updates the special information held in the special information holding section such that a mismatch occurs between the special information obtained before the deletion of the content from the storage section and the special information obtained after the deletion of the content from the storage section.

19. A method for moving data from a recording/reproducing apparatus, the recording/reproducing apparatus including:
-
a first storage section for storing data structure information which includes encrypted data;
a special information holding section for holding special information associated with the data structure information; and
a controller for controlling the first storage section and the special information holding section, wherein the data structure information and the special information are associated with each other such that the special information is updated in response to an update of the data structure information, or such that the data structure information is updated in response to an update of the special information, the method comprising steps of;
a) moving the encrypted data from the first storage section to a second storage section; and
b) updating the special information held in the special information holding section every time step a) is completed such that a mismatch occurs between the special information obtained before step a) and the updated special information.

30. A method for deleting data from a recording/reproducing apparatus, the recording/reproducing apparatus including:
-
a storage section for storing data structure information which includes encrypted data, the encrypted data including a content which is allowed to be stored for a predetermined time period;
a special information holding section for holding special information associated with the data structure information; and
a controller for controlling the storage section and the special information holding section, wherein the data structure information and the special information are associated with each other such that the special information is updated in response to an update of the data structure information, or such that the data structure information is updated in response to an update of the special information, the method comprising steps of;
a) after a predetermined time period has elapsed, deleting the content from the storage section; and
b) updating the special information held in the special information holding section every time step a) is completed such that a mismatch occurs between the special information obtained before step a) and the updated special information. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 35)
