Abstract

Abstract A filtering device (60) for connecting an internal network (10) with an external network (20) has a determination unit (62) for determining whether a data transfer is enabled or disabled. When data is transferred between the two networks (10, 20), the determination unit (62) determines whether or not the data transfer satisfies conditions defined by the contents of an electronic watermark (64) included in the data. The data transfer is enabled when it satisfies the conditions. <IMAGE>

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 57 words
A filtering device (60) for connecting an internal network (10) with an external network (20), comprising: means (62) operable when data is transferred between the networks for determining whether the data transfer is enabled or disabled by examining whether the data transfer satisfies conditions defined by the contents of an electronic watermark (64) included in the data.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 45 words
A filtering device according to claim 1, wherein said means (62) for determining uses an electronic watermark (64) to determine whether a transfer is enabled or disabled for data which has been filtered on the basis of a source and a destination of the data.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 65 words
A connection device (60) for use with an information processing device for transferring transmission data from an information processing device (30) to another information processing device (50), comprising: means (61) for extracting electronic watermark information (64) included in said data; and means (62) for determining whether a transfer of said data to the other information processing device is enabled or disabled by examining extracted information.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 53 words
A connection device for use with an information processing device according to claim 3, wherein: said means for determining whether a transfer of data is enabled or disabled includes a table (63) having fields for storing a data source (201), a destination (202), and information (203) for comparison with extracted electronic watermark information.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 36 words
A connection device for use with an information processing device according to claim 4, wherein said connection device permits particular users to correct the information for comparison with extracted electronic watermark information, stored in said table.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 96 words
A computer readable storage medium comprising: a function of extracting electronic watermark information (64) from data transmitted from an information processing device (30); a function of determining whether or not a transfer of said data to another information processing device (50) is enabled or disabled by examining extracted information; and a function of transferring said data to the other information processing device when the result of the determination indicates that the transfer is enabled, or blocking said data to the other information processing device when the result of the determination indicates that the transfer is disabled.
Claim 7
Independent Claim 89 words
A method of processing a transfer of data having an electronic watermark (64), requested by an information processing device (30), said method comprising the steps of: executing a data transfer to an information processing device (50) existing on a different network (20) from a network (10) on which said information processing device (30) exists; and when certain data has not been transferred on the basis of electronic watermark information during said executed data transfer, displaying in said information processing device that the transfer of the certain data has failed.
Claim 8
Independent Claim 102 words
A method of processing data having an electronic watermark (64) transferred to an information processing device (50), wherein a transfer of said data is executed from an information processing device (30) existing on a network different (10) from a network (20) on which said information processing device exists, said method comprising the steps of: determining whether or not certain data has not been transferred on the basis of electronic watermark information during the executed data transfer; and displaying in said information processing device that the transfer of the certain data has failed when determining that the certain data has not been transferred.
Claim 9
Independent Claim 111 words
A method of processing a transfer of data requested by an information processing device (30), said method comprising the steps of: executing a transfer of the data to an information processing device (50) existing on a network (20) different from a network (10) on which said information processing device exists, said transferred data including particular information indicative of a portion of said data; determining whether or not certain data has not been transferred on the basis of said particular information during the executed data transfer; and displaying in said information processing device that the transfer of the certain data has failed when determining that the certain data has not been transferred.
Claim 10
Independent Claim 110 words
A method of processing data transferred to an information processing device (50), wherein a transfer of said data is executed from an information processing device (30) existing on a network (10) different from a network (20) on which said information processing device exists, said transferred data including particular information indicative of a portion of said data, said method comprising the steps of: determining whether or not certain data has not been transferred on the basis of said particular information during the executed data transfer; and displaying in said information processing device that the transfer of the certain data has failed when determining that the certain data has not been transferred.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 94 words
An information processing device (30) for processing a request for a transfer of data having an electronic watermark (64), comprising: means (30A) for executing a data transfer to an information processing device (50) existing on a different network (20) from a network (10) on which said information processing device exists; and display means (30B) responsive to a determination indicating that certain data has not been transferred on the basis of electronic watermark information during the executed data transfer, for displaying in said information processing device that the transfer of the certain data has failed.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 102 words
An information processing device (30) for processing a request for a transfer of data, comprising: means (30A) for executing a data transfer to an information processing device (50) existing on a different network (20) from a network (10) on which said information processing device (30) exists, said transferred data including particular information indicative of a portion of said data; and means (30B) responsive to a determination indicating that certain data has not been transferred on the basis of said particular information during the executed data transfer, for displaying in said information processing device that the transfer of the certain data has failed.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 95 words
An information processing device (50) for receiving data having an electronic watermark (64) transferred thereto, said data being transferred from an information processing device (30) existing on a different network (10) from a network (20) on which said information processing device exists, said information processing device comprising: means (50A) for inputting information indicating that certain data has not been transferred in said transferred data; and means (50B) for displaying in said information processing device that the transfer of the certain data has failed when the certain data has not been transferred in said transferred data.
