Abstract
The present invention relates to a technique for controlling the output of a management object data. In the past an output time of the original data can not be limited in the past. In this invention, output time of the management object data can be limited by using PC2. The PC2 is provided with time counter 208 for measuring the accumulation time for which a management object data is displayed by display 207, comparator 210 for comparing the upper limit time for which the output of the management object data is permitted and the accumulation time measured by time counter 208, and controller 205 for controlling the output of the management object data on the basis of the comparison results by comparator 208.
Claims17
An output time management apparatus comprising:
- time counter for measuring the accumulation time for which a object data is outputted by output means,
- comparator for comparing the upper limit time for which the output of said object data is permitted and said accumulation time measured by said time counter, and
- controller for controlling the output of said object data on the basis of the comparison results by said comparator.
An output time management system comprising:
- data sending apparatus for sending at least a object data via network,
- data receiving apparatus for receiving said object data from said data sending apparatus,
- output apparatus for outputting said object data received by said data receiving apparatus,
- time counting apparatus for measuring the accumulation time for which said object data is outputted by said output apparatus,
- comparison apparatus for comparing the upper limit time for which the output of said object data is permitted and said accumulation time measured by said time counting apparatus, and
- control apparatus for controlling the output of said object data on the basis of the comparison results by said comparison apparatus.
An output time management system comprising:
- storing apparatus for storing a object data and a information of an upper limit time for which the output of said object data is permitted on a storing medium,
- reading apparatus for reading said object data and said upper limit time stored on said storing medium,
- output apparatus for outputting said object data read by said reading apparatus,
- time counting apparatus for measuring the accumulation time for which said object data is outputted by said output apparatus,
- comparison apparatus for comparing said upper limit time read by said reading apparatus and said accumulation time measured by said time counting apparatus, and
- control apparatus for controlling the output of said object data on the basis of a comparison result by said comparison apparatus.
An output time management method comprising:
- time counting step for measuring the accumulation time for which a object data is outputted by output means,
- comparing step for comparing the upper limit time for which the output of said object data is permitted and said accumulation time measured in said time counting step, and
- controlling step for controlling the output of said object data on the basis of a comparison result in said comparing step.
A program which makes a computer operate as:
- time counter for measuring the accumulation time for which a object data is outputted by output means,
- comparator for comparing the upper limit time for which the output of said object data is permitted and said accumulation time measured by said time counter, and
- controller for controlling the output of said object data on the basis of a comparison results by said comparator.
