Patent ID: 7783890

Claim:
A multimedia recording system which verifies whether or not a multimedia data element is created from an intended object, comprising: a multimedia recording apparatus configured to create the multimedia data element from the object and record the multimedia data element; a server apparatus configured to perform predetermined processes according to data received from a communication network; and a verification apparatus connected with the server apparatus through the communication network, the multimedia recording apparatus comprising a capture device to create the multimedia data element from the object and record the multimedia data element, a wireless reading device configured to acquire an object-specifying data element, which specifies the object, from a wireless transmission device of the object, a system controller configured to create a digest data element from the multimedia data element, create an authentication data element by encrypting the digest data element with the object-specifying data element, and embed the authentication data element in a header information of the multimedia data element, and a recording device configured to record the multimedia data element and the authentication data element embedded in the header information of the multimedia data element, the verification apparatus configured to send a first digest data element created from the multimedia data element to the server apparatus, the server apparatus comprising a server controller configured to decrypt the authentication data element embedded in the header information of the multimedia data element by using an object-specifying data element, which was previously registered on the server apparatus, as a key to create a second digest data element, to compare the second digest data element with the first digest data element of the multimedia recording apparatus, and to output a result of the comparison of the first digest data element and the second digest data element as a comparison data element, and the verification apparatus comprising a display device configured to display a result of verification of whether or not the multimedia data element created from the object belongs to the intended object based on the comparison data element, which is sent to the verification apparatus from the server apparatus.
