  • the present invention is concerned with data reproducing apparatus for producing data carriers containing selected blocks of data for supply to customers.
  • the data to be reproduced may represent computer software, audio and/or visual works, printed matter, any graphical or artistic work, or any other work which may be represented by data in a reproducible form.
  • the present invention is particularly concerned with the supply of blocks of such data, usually representing a particular work, programme or the like, on a data carrier, so that the work or programme can be made available for use by a customer.
  • the invention is concerned with the supply of such data carriers for rent or hire to a customer on the basis that the data carrier is returned to the supplier after use, for example after a predetermined rental period.
  • a problem with the business of renting reproducible works is that it is difficult for the originator or proprietor of the work to maintain adequate control of the work in order to ensure proper remuneration in return for its use by rental customers.
  • the originator may have little or no further control over its use, even if that use includes the further supply of the work on a rental basis.
  • the result can be that a rental organisation can derive a far greater income from a particular work by successively renting out the work, than any income derived by the originator from the initial sale of the work.
  • An object of the present invention is to facilitate the control of a rental market by the originator or proprietor of the works.
  • EP-B-0195098 discloses a method for reproducing information in material objects using information manufacturing machines located at point of sale locations together with an information control machine located remotely.
  • the information manufacturing machines can communicate with the remotely located control machine. This can ensure proper authorisation when any particular selected information is reproduced at the point of sale machine onto a material object for supply to a customer.

  • the machine readable store itself could be remotely located and connected with the rest of the apparatus at the rental outlet by a data link. Normally, however, the machine readable store itself will also be located at the rental outlet, an important feature of this arrangement being that only a single master copy of the blocks of data which are available for rent is retained at any time at the rental outlet.
  • a record of the transaction is automatically made and this record shows whether or not the previously loaded data carrier has been returned subsequently whereupon it is erased.
  • the transaction record may be arranged so that a complete transaction requires the original data carrier to be subsequently erased, so that the only "copies" of the block of data are those which are out with rental customers.

  • the request keys 16 may be constituted by the usual keyboard of a computer system, but may preferably comprise a specially designated keys for initiating a selected copying transaction, or alternatively to erase a previously copied block of data. In addition, the request keys enable the individual blocks contained in the ROM 13 to be selected for copying, e.g. from a separate menu.
  • the write interface 15 enables the controller 11 to write selected blocks of data from the ROM 13 onto a data carrier (not shown) received in a receptacle 18.
  • Receptacle 18 is shown schematically in the figure of the drawing but may in practice be a multi way connector for interconnecting with a standard video games cartridge for example.
  • the read interface 14 enables the controller 11 to read selected data from any data carrier received in the receptacle 18.
  • the controller 11 may additionally control the write interface to erase data previously copied into a data carrier. It will be understood that that read and write interfaces 14 and 15 may in practice be formed by a composite read/write interface.
  • the apparatus illustrated in the figure enables copies to be made on portable data carriers of selected blocks of information contained in the ROM 13.
  • the desired block to be copied onto the data carrier is first selected on the request keys 16 and then the copy request initiated.
  • the controller 11 is a microprocessor
  • this microprocessor then operates in accordance with a predetermined programme to address the required data block in the ROM 13 and control the write interface 15 to receive the data and record it in the data carrier.
  • the microprocessor 11 is also then arranged to make a transaction record of the copying transaction and store this in the memory 12.
  • the transaction record recorded in the memory 12 In order to enable the transaction record recorded in the memory 12 to be subsequently identified and correlated with the particular data carrier or cartridge, the transaction record must enable a unique identification of the particular cartridge on which the copy is made.
  • the purpose of the apparatus disclosed is to facilitate a rental market in for example video games cartridges.
  • the rental period is also designated. This may be a standard period of say one day, or alternatively may be a variable period set by the request keys 16 when the transaction is being set up.
  • the controller 11 is programmed to include in the transaction record stored in the memory 12 data enabling identification of the return date for the cartridge being loaded.
  • the controller 11 causes the write interface
  • a transaction record identifying code is generated by the controller 11 and written into the cartridge also. Then on subsequent erasure of the cartridge on return by the customer, the controller first reads the transaction identifying code from the cartridge via the read interface 14 and from this code identifies the relevant rental transaction in the memory 12.
  • the memory 12 contains a complete record of all rental transactions including whether or not a particular cartridge has yet been returned and erased. At anytime, the only copies of the data blocks contained in the ROM 13 are those on rent. On return to the rental organisation, the copy is erased.
  • the apparatus is especially advantageous when linked via modem 17 to a host apparatus at premises controlled by the originator or proprietor of the data blocks contained in the ROM 13.
  • This may for example be the proprietor of the video games system with which the cartridges being copied by the apparatus are intended to be used.
  • the host apparatus can then access the transaction records contained in the memory 12 and ensure that the copying and erasing procedure is being properly carried out and accounted for.
  • the host can maintain accounting records enabling appropriate remuneration to be claimed from the rental organisation for each rental transaction. This distinguishes the apparatus from the typical rental procedure where multiple copies of a video game, for example, must be made and provided at the premises of the rental organisation. Once these copies have been acquired from the proprietor or orginator, the proprietor has no further direct control over how they are used and how much income is derived from them by the rental organisation.
  • the modem 17 may enable two-way data transmission between the host and the reproducing apparatus so that the host can alter the operation of the reproducing apparatus.
  • One important alteration might be the delivery of additional or replacement data blocks to the store 13 for rental.
  • the store 13 may then be formed as a programmable memory enabling fresh data blocks to be recorded in it.
  • the control programme of the microprocessor 11 of the reproducing apparatus would then be arranged to permit access to the store 13 only via the modem 17 from the host apparatus. In effect, fresh video games could then be delivered to the rental organisation via the data link.
  • the host apparatus may via the modem 17 make selected data blocks or video games already contained in the store 13 unavailable for further copying.
  • the host may via the modem 17 alter the control programme for the controller microprocessor 11 to prevent further copying transactions being made. This might be necessary for example, if the host monitors that excessive numbers of copies are surviving beyond their respective rental periods, implying that the rental organisation or the personnel therein are misusing the apparatus.
  • the apparatus shown in the drawing has been described particularly in connection with the supply of video games cartridges to the rental market, the concept is also applicable to other forms of data which may be recorded on a data carrier in an erasable manner.
  • the principles of the apparatus could be used for generating video cassette tapes for rent and return, although a high speed reproduction process would be required.
  • the external appearance of the video games cartridge may be the same as for such cartridges when offered for sale, so that to the rental customer the cartridge is substantially indistinguishable.
  • a label for the particular video game may be applied to the cartridge casing when the game is being copied onto the cartridge.
  • the electronic memory within the cartridge must be capable of being electronically erased and reprogrammed by the reproducing apparatus.
  • the preferred form of memory device for a reprogrammable video games cartridge is the so called "Flash EPROM", which can be repeatedly reprogrammed without deterioration.
  • the video games cartridge for use with the reproducing apparatus should additionally have interface circuitry enabling them to be erased and reprogrammed by the apparatus, but also enabling them to emulate fully the standard form of video games cartridge supplied for sale by the proprietor of the respective video games console.
  • the cartridge may be required to include memory to receive transaction data recorded in the cartridge as part of the copying transaction as disclosed above.
  • some protection facility may be built or recorded into the cartridges to make them unattractive as a permanent source of the video games programme.
  • the programme loaded into the cartridge by the reproducing apparatus might be arranged to permit the programme to be run on the customer's video games console only a limited number of times.
  • the cartridge may include a clock with its own rechargeable battery which would inhibit further running of the programme after a predetermined time.

Abstract

Appareil de duplication de données comprenant une mémoire (13) exploitable par une machine et destinée à stocker des blocs de données à dupliquer, par exemple des programmes de jeu vidéo. On duplique les données sur un support d'informations portatif tel qu'une cassette contenant une mémoire morte programmable électriquement du type 'flash'. L'appareil de duplication possède des commandes permettant de déclencher une transaction de duplication d'un programme choisi sur la cartouche, ou une opération d'effacement de celle-ci d'un programme préalablement dupliqué. L'historique de toutes les transactions de duplication est enregistrée dans une mémoire vive, et cette historique comprend des données permettant une corrélation unique entre l'historique transactionnelle enregistrée et le support d'informations respectif sur lequel sont dupliquées les données. Lorsqu'on veut effacer le support d'informations, on identifie l'historique transactionnelle associée au support, et on met à jour ladite historique de telle sorte que l'effacement de l'exemplaire en question figure dans celle-ci.
