Information processing apparatus, information processing system and information processing method, and program

摘要

An apparatus and method configured to identify the type of a content to be copied and perform a copying process in a sequence according to the result of identification is provided. In an information processing apparatus configured to perform the copying process for copying recorded data in an information recording medium to other media or the like, the type of the data recorded in the recording medium of a copy source is identified. More specifically, whether the type of the content to be copied is either a reproduction-pass-specific content which sets a reproduction pass corresponding to the information processing apparatus and causes the information processing apparatus to execute the reproduction according to the reproduction pass, or a content-code-applied content which verifies the reproduction sequence to be executed in the reproducing apparatus and verifies whether the reproduction process is executed according to the correct reproduction sequence is discriminated, and an optimal sequence is applied on the basis of the result of discrimination, whereby the copying process is executed. In this configuration, a reliable copying process on the basis of the optimal process according to various data types is realized.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus comprising a data processing unit configured to generate copy data of data recorded in an information recording medium, wherein
the data processing unit executes a data type identification process for recorded data in the information recording medium, discriminates whether or not the recorded data is a content-code-applied content including code information which causes a verification process for verifying a reproduction process or a conversion process for converting reproduction data to be executed at the time of data reproduction, executes a generation process for generating the copy data after the start of the reproduction process, if it is determined to be the content-code-applied content, and executes the generation process for generating the copy data without executing the reproduction process, if the recorded data is determined to be a non-content-code-applied content which does not include the code information.
