Device and method for restricting content access and storage
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A communication device comprising:
- a nonvolatile memory storage means;
an IC card interface for communicating with any one or more IC cards, each of said one or more IC cards storing access qualification information used to verify a user requesting access to the communication device;
communication means for receiving content from a mobile packet communication network;
accessing means for accessing the qualification information that is stored on an IC card in communication with the IC card interface at a time of receiving the content;
storing means for storing in said nonvolatile memory storage means the received content from the mobile packet communication network in association with the accessed qualification information accessed from the IC card in communication with the IC card interface at the time of receiving the content;
input means for receiving input identifying received content in the nonvolatile memory storage means for access;
the accessing means for accessing the qualification information that is stored on an IC card in communication with the IC card interface at a time of receiving the input identifying the received content for access;
retrieving means for retrieving, from the nonvolatile memory storage means, the accessed qualification information stored in association with the identified received content;
comparing means for comparing the accessed qualification information from the IC card in communication with the IC card interface at the time of accessing the received content with the retrieved accessed qualification information; and
determination means for determining, based on the comparison, whether to permit access to the stored received content.

Abstract
UIMID of a UIM 50 owned by the owner of a portable phone 40 is stored in an owner information registration area 410b of phone 40. A CPU 405 of portable phone 40, upon receiving content, compares a UIMID of a UIM 50 inserted in phone 40 to the UIMID registered in owner information registration area 410b. The storing of the content in a nonvolatile memory 410 is permitted only when the two UIMIDs agree with each other.

27. A method for restricting content access and storage, for use in a communication device,
wherein qualification information is stored in each of one or more IC cards connected to the communication device, the qualification information used to verify a user requesting access to the communication device; -
the method comprising; receiving, at said communication device, content from a mobile packet communication network; accessing the access qualification information that is stored on an IC card in communication with the IC card interface at a time of receiving the content; storing in a nonvolatile memory of the communication device the content received from the mobile packet communication network in association with the accessed qualification information accessed from the IC card in communication with the IC card interface at the time of receiving the content; receiving input identifying received content in the nonvolatile memory for access; accessing the qualification information that is stored on an IC card in communication with the IC card interface at a time of receiving the input identifying the received content for access; retrieving, from the nonvolatile memory storage means, the accessed qualification information stored in association with the identified received content; comparing the accessed qualification information from the IC card in communication with the IC card interface at the time of accessing the received content with the retrieved accessed qualification information; and determining in said communication device, based on the comparison, whether to permit access to the stored received content. - View Dependent Claims (28)

29. A computer readable recording medium storing a program,
wherein access qualification information is stored in each of one or more IC cards connected to the communication device, the access qualification information used to verify a user requesting access to the communication device, the program for causing a computer to: -
receive, at said communication device, content from a mobile packet communication network; accessing the access qualification information that is stored on an IC card in communication with the IC card interface at a time of receiving the content; store in a nonvolatile memory of the communication device the content received from the mobile packet communication network in association with the the accessed qualification information accessed from the IC card in communication with the IC card interface at the time of receiving the content; receive input identifying received content in the nonvolatile memory for access; access the qualification information that is stored on an IC card in communication with the IC card interface at a time of receiving the input identifying the received content for access; retrieve, from the nonvolatile memory storage means, the accessed qualification information stored in association with the identified received content; compare the accessed qualification information from the IC card in communication with the IC card interface at the time of accessing the received content with the retrieved accessed qualification information; and determine in said communication device, based on the comparison, whether to permit access to the stored received content. - View Dependent Claims (30)
