Recording and reproducing apparatus
First Claim
1. A recording and reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a first recording medium slot for receiving a first recording medium in which a first content is stored;
a second recording medium slot for receiving a second recording medium;
a receiving unit configured to receive a second content that is based on original data that is at least part of the first content;
a data modifying unit configured, when the received second content is recorded in a second recording medium, to delete at least part of the original data stored in said first recording medium or rewrite said at least part of the original data into other data, so as to disable reproduction of the original data;
an output unit configured to record reconstruction information in the second recording medium in association with the second content, the reconstruction information relating to the deleted or rewritten data; and
a recovery unit configured, when the reconstruction information is received from the second recording medium, to recover the original data recorded in said first recording medium according to the reconstruction information so as to enable the reproduction of the original data,wherein;
the first content is a content coded according to a coding method in which inter frame referencing is performed, andsaid data modifying unit is configured to (i) delete one of a reference image and header information of the reference image or (ii) rewrite said one of the reference image and the header information of the reference image into other data, the reference image being used when an image included in the original data is reproduced.

Abstract
To provide a recording and reproducing apparatus that recovers contents having approximately the same quality as the original contents in a short time and requiring only light processing load, at the time of (a) moving the contents from the first recording medium to the second recording medium, (b) rewriting the contents in order to disable reproduction of the contents, (c) reconstructing the original contents by recovering the contents from the second recording medium to the first recording medium. The recording and reproducing apparatus includes a move processing unit 72a and a recovery processing unit 73a. The former records reconstruction information on the second recording medium in association with the second contents, the reconstruction information being used in reconstructing one or more parts of the contents that have been rewritten in order to disable reproduction of the contents at the time of moving the contents. Also, the latter reconstructs the original contents based on the remaining contents recorded on the first recording medium by recovering the reconstruction information from the second recording medium and using the reconstruction information.
