Display either the signal level of the sound corresponding to the image or each frequency band or the waveform of the sound being output.
- step S 221 the content management program 111 reads the usage rule file 162 corresponding to the first content to be combined from the content data base 114.
- step S222 the content management program 111 determines whether or not the number of possible check-outs corresponding to the first content is equal to the maximum number of possible check-outs corresponding to the first content. If it is determined that the number of times that the checkout can be performed is equal to the maximum number of times that the checkout can be performed, the process proceeds to step S223, and it is determined whether a playback time limit or a number of times of playback has been set for the first content.
- step S2 23 If it is determined in step S2 23 that the playback expiration date or the number of times of playback has not been set for the first content, the process proceeds to step S2 24, where the content management program 11 1 1 executes the content database processing. Terms of use corresponding to the second content to be combined from Read the file 1 6 2.
- step S225 the content management program 111 determines whether or not the checkable count corresponding to the second content is equal to the maximum checkable count corresponding to the second content. If it is determined that the checkable number of times is equal to the maximum checkable number of times, the process proceeds to step S226 to determine whether or not the reproduction limit or the number of times of reproduction is set for the second content. .
- step S226 If it is determined in step S226 that the playback expiration date or the number of times of playback has not been set for the second content, the process proceeds to step S227, and the content management program 111 determines the content of the first content. It is determined whether the maximum number of checkouts and the maximum number of checkouts of the second content are equal, and the maximum number of checkouts of the first content and the maximum number of checkouts of the second content are possible. When it is determined that the number of times is equal, the process proceeds to step S228. In step S 228, the content management program 111 reads the first content and the second content from the corresponding content files 16 1 of the content overnight 114, and reads the first content. And the second content are combined and recorded. That is, the content management program 111 causes the content database 114 to generate a new content file 161 and store the combined content.
- step S229 the display operation instruction program 112 generates a name of the combined content.
- the display operation instruction program 112 causes the display data file 18 22 to store the name of the content generated in the content night 1 114.
- Step S In 230 the content management program 111 sets the maximum number of checkouts and the number of checkouts of the content combined in the content database 114 to the same value as the first content. Update the usage condition file 16 2 and end the process.
- step S222 If it is determined in step S222 that the number of checkmarks corresponding to the first content is not equal to the maximum number of checkpoints corresponding to the first content, the first content is combined. Since it cannot be performed, the process ends. If it is determined in step S223 that the playback expiration date or the number of playbacks has been set for the first content, the processing is terminated because the first content cannot be combined.
- step S225 If it is determined in step S225 that the number of checkcards corresponding to the second content is not equal to the maximum number of checkpoints corresponding to the second content, the second content is combined. Since it cannot be performed, the process ends. If it is determined in step S226 that the reproduction limit or the number of reproductions is set for the second content, the process is terminated because the second content cannot be combined.
- step S227 If it is determined in step S227 that the maximum number of checkouts of the first content is not equal to the maximum number of checkouts of the second content, the first content and the second content are compared. Cannot be combined, so the process ends.
- the personal computers 1 belong to the same original package, have the same maximum possible checkout times, and It is possible to compose the content recorded in the content data overnight pace 1 14 in which no content is set and the reproduction time limit or the number of times of reproduction is not set. Content that has not been checked out and for which the playback time limit or number of playbacks has not been set is combined, so that the number of checkouts, playback time limit, or number of plays corresponding to the content is not changed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the number of times a checkout can be performed from being illegally increased or to prevent the reproduction period or the number of times of reproduction from being illegally changed without impairing the user's profit.
- the source of the package to which the content belongs is CD or not. If a determination is made and the source of the package to which the content belongs is determined to be a CD, the content may be combined. Note that the content recorded from the CD has a fixed maximum number of checkpoints, for example, three times, and no playback time limit or number of playbacks.
- step S224 the content management program 111 allocates the position where the content is to be divided, for example, the time elapsed since the performance started or the data included in the content being played at the present time. Get the position on the content that is being done.
- step S224 the content management program 111 reads the usage rule file 162 corresponding to the content to be de- veloped from the content database 114.
- step S2 43 the content management program 111 It is determined whether or not the number of possible check-outs corresponding to the content is equal to the maximum number of possible check-outs corresponding to the content. If it is determined that the number of possible check-outs is equal to the maximum possible number of check-outs, step S 2 44 Proceed to 4 and determine whether the content has a playback time limit or number of playbacks set.
- step S244 If it is determined in step S244 that the content does not have a playback expiration date or the number of playbacks set, the process proceeds to step S245, where the content management program 111 sends the content to the content database.

- the usage condition file 16 2 is updated so that the processing is completed, and the processing is terminated.
- Step S 2 4 4 Smell If it is determined that the content has a playback time limit or the number of playbacks, the content cannot be divided and the process ends.
- the personal computer 1 can divide the content recorded in the content database 114 that is not checked out and has no set reproduction time limit or number of reproductions. Since the content that has not been checked out and for which the playback expiration date or the number of times of reproduction is not set is divided, the number of times that the content can be checked out, the reproduction time limit or the number of times of reproduction are not changed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the number of times that the check can be performed from being illegally increased, or to prevent the reproduction period or the number of times of reproduction from being illegally changed without impairing the user's profit.
