RECEIVER, DISTRIBUTION METHOD OF RELEASE INFORMATION AND DISTRIBUTION METHOD OF CONTENTS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A receiver comprising:
- a receiving section for receiving a first communication signal constituting contents through a first communication system;
a transmitting and receiving section requesting a transmission of a second communication signal containing release information and receiving said second communication signal through a second communication system enabling bi-directional communications;
a matching correlation detection section for making a judgement as to whether or not said release information has a predetermined matching correlation with limitation information for limiting a normal output of said contents; and
an output section refraining from normally outputting at least one portion of said contents when said predetermined matching correlation is not detected, and outputting said contents normally when said predetermined matching correlation is detected.

Abstract
In the case when password data (PW1) added to a TV broadcasting signal and password data (PW2) transmitted from an Internet connection section (2) have a predetermined correlation with each other, the display section (3) is allowed to display the corresponding contents normally. Therefore, accounting processes are imposed on the transmission of the password data (PW2) so that a normal displaying operation is charged in an indirect manner for each of the contents.

12. A distribution method of release information comprising the step of:
when release information has a predetermined matching correlation with limitation information for limiting a normal output of contents supplied through a first communication system, distributing said release information for allowing said contents to be normally outputted through a second communication system enabling bi-directional communications. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. A distribution method of contents, which distributes said contents through a first communication system, wherein said contents are supplied together with transmission source information for specifying a transmission source for a second communication system that enables bidirectional communications,
and wherein release information which allows said contents to be normally outputted is obtained from said transmission source when said release information has a predetermined matching correlation with limitation information for limiting a normal output of said contents.
