Abstract
An information processor includes a data processing portion which generates content for delivery to a client. The data processing portion generates and provides a sub-image in which identification information of a content delivery client is recorded in image data formed only of a partial area of image data and a main image in which the image signal of the sub-image area is deleted or substituted with a dummy signal to the client, generates management information in which the identification information recorded in the sub-image is associated with client information of the content provision destination, and records the management information in a storage portion.
Claims12
An information processor comprising:
- a data processing portion which generates content for delivery to a client,
- wherein the data processing portion generates and provides a sub-image in which identification information of a content delivery client is recorded in image data formed only of a partial area of image data and a main image in which the image signal of the sub-image area is deleted or substituted with a dummy signal to the client, generates management information in which the identification information recorded in the sub-image is associated with client information of the content provision destination, and records the management information in a storage portion.
An information processor comprising:
- a data processing portion which executes a content reproduction process,
- wherein the data processing portion acquires a sub-clip file storing a sub-image in which identification information of a content delivery client is recorded in image data formed only of a partial area of image data and a main clip file storing a main image in which the image signal of the sub-image area is deleted or substituted with a dummy signal, and applies a playlist file which is a reproduction control information file for execution of a process of reproducing the main clip file and the sub-clip file in parallel to generate and reproduce a synthetic image of the main image and the sub-image.
An information processing method which is executed in an information processor, the method comprising:
- generating a sub-image in which identification information of a content delivery client is recorded in image data formed only of a partial area of image data and a main image in which the image signal of the sub-image area is deleted or substituted with a dummy signal;
- providing the sub-image and the main image to the client;
- generating management information in which the identification information recorded in the sub-image is associated with client information of the content provision destination;
- and
- recording the management information in a storage portion.
A program enabling an information processor to execute information processing, the program comprising:
- generating a sub-image in which identification information of a content delivery client is recorded in image data formed only of a partial area of image data and a main image in which the image signal of the sub-image area is deleted or substituted with a dummy signal using a data processing portion;
- providing the sub-image and the main image to the client;
- generating management information in which the identification information recorded in the sub-image is associated with client information of the content provision destination;
- and
- recording the management information in a storage portion.
