Information processing apparatus, information recording medium manufacturing apparatus, information recording medium, information processing method, information recording medium manufacturing method, and computer program

An information recording medium manufacturing apparatus comprising:

• a contents file creating means for creating a contents file in which contents data recorded in an information recording medium is stored;
• a content code file creating means for creating a content code file in which content codes including a data processing program to be executed when using contents are stored;
• and
• a recording means for recording, in an information recording medium, the contents file created by the contents file creating means and the content code file created by the content code file creating means,
• wherein the content code file creating means is configured to create a content code file stored with a code for apparatus checking process, which causes an apparatus checking process applying an apparatus certificate stored in a memory of each information processing apparatus to be executed, and a content code file stored with a security check code that is selected and executed on the basis of an apparatus identifier checked in the apparatus checking process.

An information recording medium comprising:

• a contents file stored with contents data;
• and
• a content code file stored with content codes including a data processing program to be executed when using contents,
• wherein the content code file is configured to include a content code file stored with a code for apparatus checking process, which causes an apparatus checking process applying an apparatus certificate stored in a memory of each information processing apparatus to be executed, and a content code file stored with a security check code that is selected and executed on the basis of an apparatus identifier checked by the apparatus checking process.

An information processing method of executing data processing applying record data of an information recording medium in an information processing apparatus, comprising the steps of:

• acquiring content codes including a data processing program recorded in the information recording medium in a data processing unit;
• executing an apparatus checking process applying an apparatus certificate stored in a memory on the basis of a code for apparatus checking process included in the content codes in the data processing unit;
• and
• executing content code processing in which an apparatus identifier recorded in the apparatus certificate is acquired, content codes corresponding to the acquired apparatus identifier are selected, and data processing applying the selected content codes is executed in the data processing unit.

An information recording medium manufacturing method of an information recording medium manufacturing apparatus, comprising the steps of:

• creating a contents file in which contents data recorded in an information recording medium is stored;
• creating a content code file in which content codes including a data processing program to be executed when using contents are stored;
• and
• recording, in an information recording medium, the contents file created in the creating of the contents file and the content code file created in the creating of the content code file,
• wherein, in the creating of the content code file, a content code file stored with a code for apparatus checking process, which causes an apparatus checking process applying an apparatus certificate stored in a memory of each information processing apparatus to be executed, and a content code file stored with a security check code that is selected and executed on the basis of an apparatus identifier checked in the apparatus checking process are created.

A computer program that causes an information processing apparatus to execute data processing applying record data of an information recording medium, the computer program causing the information processing apparatus to execute:

• acquiring content codes including a data processing program recorded in the information recording medium by means of a data processing unit;
• executing an apparatus checking process applying an apparatus certificate stored in a memory on the basis of a code for apparatus checking process included in the content codes by means of the data processing unit;
• and
• executing content code processing, in which an apparatus identifier recorded in the apparatus certificate is acquired, content codes corresponding to the acquired apparatus identifier are selected, and data processing applying the selected content codes is executed, by means of the data processing unit.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a first memory that stores data including data specific to each information processing apparatus;
• and
• a second memory that stores common data corresponding to common models and versions of information processing apparatuses,
• wherein the data including data specific to each information processing apparatus includes an apparatus certificate including an apparatus identifier, a key corresponding to a device manufacturing entity, a group key common to a predetermined group set when apparatuses are divided into groups, and a key specific to each apparatus, and
• the common data corresponding to common models and versions includes a key specific to a model, a key specific to a version, and an apparatus certificate including identifiers of model and version.

An information recording medium manufacturing apparatus comprising:

• a contents file creating unit creating a contents file in which contents data recorded in an information recording medium is stored;
• a content code file creating unit creating a content code file in which content codes including a data processing program to be executed when using contents are stored;
• and
• a recording unit recording, in an information recording medium, the contents file created by the contents file creating unit and the content code file created by the content code file creating unit,
• wherein the content code file creating unit is configured to create a content code file stored with a code for apparatus checking process, which causes an apparatus checking process applying an apparatus certificate stored in a memory of each information processing apparatus to be executed, and a content code file stored with a security check code that is selected and executed on the basis of an apparatus identifier checked in the apparatus checking process.
