AUDIO-VISUAL TERMINAL, VIEWING AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM AND CONTROL PROGRAM

摘要

An audio-visual terminal and a viewing authentication system and control programs therefor are provided. The audio-visual terminal includes a reproducing part for reproducing the audio-visual program, a motion instructing part for instructing, a motion sensor for detecting a response motion of the viewer made by the viewer for transmission to a viewing authenticating principal, a sending part for sending information output from the audio-visual terminal to a viewing authentication system of the viewing authenticating principal, and a coding part for coding information about the response motion of the viewer obtained from a detection result detected by the motion sensor into a signal sendable by the sending part.

1. A viewing authentication system for authenticating that a viewer of an audio-visual program is normally viewing the audio-visual program, the viewing authentication system comprising:
a program sending part for sending the audio-visual program to an audio-visual terminal operated by the viewer in response to a request from the viewer; a motion instruction information creating part for creating motion instruction information unique to the audio-visual program which consists of information with which a program provider that provides the audio-visual program requests the viewer to make a predetermined motion at times unique to the audio-visual program; a motion instruction information sending part for sending the motion instruction information to the audio-visual terminal operated by the viewer; a receiving part for receiving information about a response motion of the viewer which is obtained from a detection result detected by a motion sensor of the audio-visual terminal and which is output from the audio-visual terminal operated by the viewer and sent back to transmit the fact that the viewer is normally viewing the audio-visual program; a received information processing part for processing the received information about a response motion of the viewer into information for use in authenticating that the viewer has viewed the audio-visual program; and an authentication recording part for recording the information for use in authenticating that the viewer has viewed the audio-visual program output from the viewing authentication system to authenticate that the viewer has viewed the audio-visual program; and wherein the received information processing part has a motion analyzing/specifying part for analyzing the received information about a response motion of the viewer to specify the response motion of the viewer.
