A computer-implemented method for secure data storage is described. In one embodiment, the method may include receiving data at a receiver. The method may further include integrating a storage device with the receiver, and storing the received data on the integrated storage device. The method may further include communicating the received data from the integrated storage device to be stored on a remote distributed storage network.

A content data receiving device is provided with a communication interface, a buffer, and a processor. The processor, in a case in which the sequence included in the content data that has been received by the communication interface is discontinuous, performs a retransmission request to a transmission side after causing the buffer to hold the content data, causes the buffer to keep holding the content data that has been received by the communication interface until receiving content data in a continuous sequence, and, in a case of receiving the content data in a continuous sequence, outputs the content data to a subsequent stage so that the sequence is continuous.

A communication unit according to the present disclosure includes: a communication circuit section that receives transmission data divided into head data and one or more subsequent data from an communicated unit over a period of a plurality of time-segments; a storage section having a storage region in which at least the transmission data received by the communication circuit section is stored; and a control section that places a limitation on an access period to cause a period of access to the storage region in a period of a time-segment in which the subsequent data is transmitted to become shorter than a period of access to the storage region in a period of a time-segment in which the head data is transmitted.

In order to achieve a communication apparatus capable of efficiently transmitting data, the present invention is provided with a plurality of buffers configured to cause a communication packet to wait therein, and an intra-buffer packet switching means for moving a predetermined communication packet among packets waiting in the plurality of buffers from a first buffer in which the predetermined communication packet waits to a second buffer among the plurality of buffers.

The present technology relates to a data processing apparatus, a data processing method, and a program that are capable of preventing output of data from being interrupted on a reception side, the data being wirelessly transmitted and received by the reception side.

Control information for controlling a method of using data is generated by a reception side, the data being wirelessly transmitted and received by the reception side, and the control information is added to data to generate data-with-control-information. A method of using data is controlled on the basis of control information included in data-with-control-information for controlling the method of using data, the data-with-control-information being acquired by adding the control information to data, the data-with-control-information being wirelessly transmitted, and data whose use method is controlled is output on the basis of the control information.

A data communication device includes: a reception unit that receives data from a transmission device; a transmission unit that transmits the data to a reception device; a setting unit that sets, when the reception unit starts to receive the data, an amount of the data received by the reception unit to an amount that is independent from a transmission speed of the data from the transmission unit to the reception device; an updating unit that updates the set amount to an amount that corresponds to the transmission speed after the reception unit has received the set amount of the data; and a suppression unit that interrupts the transmission device from transmitting the data until the transmission unit transmits the updated amount of the data after the reception unit has received the updated amount of the data.
