SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The aim of the present invention is to provide a superior video data recording and reproducing apparatus, a superior video data reproducing apparatus, and a superior method of recording and reproducing video data.
According to the present invention there is provided a first video data recording and reproducing apparatus. In the first video data recording and reproducing apparatus, a data compression circuit compresses video data. A first modification detection data generation circuit generates first modification detection data in accordance with the compressed video data. A combining circuit combines the video data with the first modification detection data to output combined data. A recording circuit records the combined data on a recording medium. A reading circuit reads the combined data from the recording medium. A separating circuit separates the combined data from the reading circuit into the compressed video data and the first modification detection data. A second modification detection data generation circuit generates second modification detection data in accordance with the compressed data from the separating circuit. A comparing circuit compares the data modification detection data from the separating circuit with the second data modification detection data. A data expansion circuit expands the compressed video data from the separating circuit to output expanded video data. An outputting control circuit controls outputting the expanded video data in accordance with the result of the comparing circuit.
In the first video data recording and reproducing apparatus, the first modification detection circuit may include an error check code generating circuit for generating the first modification detection data from at least a portion of the video data and the first modification detection circuit may generate the first modification detection data from at least a portion of the video data. The first modification detection data is represented with one selected from the group consisting of check sum codes, parity codes, and Cyclic Redundancy Check codes.
The first video data recording and reproducing apparatus may further include a recording circuit for recording the combined data from the reading circuit on a removable recording medium.
According to the present invention there is also provided a first video data reproducing apparatus for reproducing combined data including compressed video data and first modification detection data on a removable recording medium, the video data being recorded with first modification detection data generated in accordance with the video data with correspondence with the video data. In the first video data reproducing apparatus, a reading circuit reads the combined data from the removable recording medium. A separating circuit separates the combined data from the reading circuit into the compressed video data and the first modification detection data. A modification detection data generation circuit generates second modification detection data in accordance with the compressed data from the separating circuit. A comparing circuit compares the first modification detection data from the separating circuit with the second data modification detection data. A data expansion circuit expands the compressed video data from the separating circuit to output expanded video data. An outputting control circuit controls outputting the expanded video data in accordance with the result of the comparing circuit.
In the first video data reproducing apparatus, the reading circuit may include a DVD-RAM drive unit and the removal recording medium comprises a DVD-RAM disc.
In the first video data reproducing apparatus, the modification detection data generation circuit may include a first software processing circuit for executing a first program to generate the second modification detection data. The comparing circuit may include a second software for comparing the data modification detection data from the separating circuit with the second data modification detection data. The data expansion circuit may include a third software for expanding the compressed video data from the separating circuit.
In the first video data reproducing apparatus may further include: a time data generation circuit for generating present time data; a condition detection circuit including a memory and an input circuit for detecting a condition in accordance with condition data from the memory and input data from the input circuit; an electronic watermark data adding circuit for generating watermark data from the present time data and the condition and adding the watermark data to the expanded video data to generate watermark data added video data; and a recording circuit for recording the watermark data added video data on another removable recording medium.
The first video data recording and reproducing apparatus may further include: a network interface circuit for communicating with a network; a decrypting control data generation circuit for generating decrypting control data in accordance with an encrypting key; an encrypting circuit for encrypting the combined data with the encrypting key. The network interface circuit may transmit the encrypted combined data and the decrypting control data to the network.
According to the present invention there Is further provided a second video data reproducing apparatus for reproducing data encrypted with a first key from a network. In the second video data reproducing apparatus, a network interface circuit receives video data and decrypting key data generated from the first key from the network. A decrypting key data generation circuit generates a second key in accordance with the decrypting key data. A decrypting circuit decrypts the data with the second key. A recording circuit in the second video data reproducing apparatus records the decrypted data on another removable recording medium.
According to the present invention there is further provided a second video data recording and reproducing apparatus. In the second video data recording and reproducing apparatus. A data compression circuit compresses video data. An encrypting circuit encrypts the video data from the data compression circuit with a first key. A recording circuit records the video data from the encrypting circuit on a recording medium. A reading circuit reads the video data from the recording medium. A storing circuit stores the first key. An inputting circuit inputs a second key. A decrypting circuit decrypts the video data from the reading circuit with the second key. A data expansion circuit expands the video data from the decrypting circuit to output expanded video data. When the first key correspond
