Electronic equipment and data processing method therefor

摘要

An electronic device receives data containing content data transmitted through a bus in the form of a packet. The electronic equipment has a receiving portion, a judgment portion and an output controller. The receiving portion receives the data transmitted in the form of a packet through the bus. The judgment portion extracts copyright information from the data supplied from the reception portion, and judges on the basis of the copyright information thus extracted whether the content data contained in the data received are allowed to be copied. The output controller is supplied with the judgment result from the judgment portion to generate notification data corresponding to the judgment result.
