Content data processing system, electronic device apparatus, and server device
First Claim
1. An electronic device apparatus for reading content data from a recording medium to which content data containing at least any one of a program, character data, sound data, video data and image data is written, and for processing the content data, the electronic device apparatus comprising:
- an authentication image data generator for acquiring an authentication image containing an image of a fingerprint of an owner of the electronic device apparatus and/or an image of a possession of the owner, and for generating first authentication image data based on the acquired authentication image;
a writer for writing the first authentication image data which is generated by the authentication image generator, to the recording medium which the owner has purchased;
a reader for reading given authentication image data from the recording medium to which the given authentication image data and given content data are written;
an outputter for outputting an input request for an authentication image;
a determiner for comparing the given authentication image data with second authentication image data, and for determining whether or not the given authentication image data matches the second authentication image data in the case where the authentication image data generator has acquired the authentication image inputted based on an output result by the outputter and has generated the second authentication image data based on the acquired authentication image; and
a processor for processing the given content data based on a determination result by the determiner.

2. An electronic device apparatus for reading content data containing at least any one of a program, character data, sound data, video data and image data and performs a process relating to the content data, the content data being transmitted from a service device through a public network, the electronic device apparatus comprising:
-
a first authentication image data generator for acquiring an authentication image containing an image of a fingerprint of an owner of the electronic device apparatus and/or an image of a possession of the owner, and for generating first authentication image data based on the acquired authentication image; a first unit configured to stores the first authentication image data; a second authentication image data generator for acquiring an authentication image containing an image of a fingerprint of a purchaser who purchases the content data and/or an image of a possession of the purchaser and for generating second authentication image data based on the acquired authentication image; a determiner for comparing the second authentication image data contained in an authentication image-added content, which is generated based on the second authentication image data and the content data with the first authentication image data stored in the first unit, and for determining whether or not the second authentication image data matches the first authentication image data; and a processor for processing the content data contained in the authentication image-added content based on a determination result by the determiner. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5)

6. An electronic device apparatus, processing content data containing at least any one of a program, character data, sound data, video data and image data, the apparatus comprising:
-
a first acquisition unit configured to acquire an authentication image data of an owner, generated on the basis of a fingerprint image of the owner of the electronic device apparatus; a second acquisition unit configured to acquire an authentication image data of a purchaser, generated on the basis of a fingerprint image of the purchaser who purchases the content data; an authorizer configured to authorize use of the content data in the case where the authentication image data of the owner matches the authentication image data of the purchaser; and a third acquisition configured to acquire an authentication image data of a user, generated on the basis of the fingerprint image of the user of the electric device apparatus in the case where the authentication image data of the owner does not match the authentication image data of the purchaser; wherein the authorizer authorizes use of the content data in the case where the authentication image data of the user matches the authentication image data of the purchaser, even if the authentication image data of the owner does not match the authentication image data of the purchaser. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)

9. An electronic device apparatus, processing content data containing at least any one of a program, character data, sound data, video data and image data, the apparatus comprising:
-
a first acquisition unit configured to acquire an authentication image data of an owner, generated on the basis of an image of a possession belonging to the owner of the electronic device apparatus; a second acquisition unit configured to acquire an authentication image data of a purchaser, generated on the basis of an image of a possession belonging to the purchaser who purchases the content data; an authorizer configured to authorize use of the content data in the case where the authentication image data of the owner matches the authentication image data of the purchaser; and a third acquisition unit configured to acquire an authentication image data of a user, generated on the basis of an image of a possession belonging to the user of the electric device apparatus, in the case where the authentication image data of the owner does not match the authentication image data of the purchaser; wherein the authorizer authorizes use of the content data in the case where the authentication image data of the user matches the authentication image data of the purchaser, even if the authentication image data of the owner does not match the authentication image data of the purchaser.
