The barcode 7 is regarded as original one, when both are consistent, and service is provided by a content server C-m. The barcode 7 is regarded as copied one transmitted from a person other than an initial purchase user, when both are inconsistent, and the service provided by the content server C-m is rejected irrespective of the barcode 7. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
