wherein said recording of identification information of said sales staff is used to prevent unauthorized processing of said digital contents by said sales staff, and
wherein said identification information of said digital contents, identification information of said customer and identification information of a sales staff are read by a device for selling said generated digital contents.
4. A medium for recording a program for causing a computer when executed to function as a digital contents vending machine for selling digital contents, said medium comprising:
a program code for causing said computer to function as a select processing unit for receiving identification information of digital contents selected by a customer and as a sales processing unit for confirming that a payment of a charge for said selected digital contents is completed, for setting identification information for identifying said customer and information for indicating a complete payment confirmation of the charge for said selected digital contents in said selected digital contents as status information for permitting only said customer to replay said selected digital contents to generate digital contents, for selling said generated digital contents, for authenticating a sales staff who confirms the payment of the charge for said selected digital contents, and for recording identification information of said sales staff who confirms the payment of the charge for said selected digital contents,
wherein in said confirming, a payment confirmation from said sales staff is input,
wherein said recording of identification information of said sales staff is used to prevent unauthorized processing of said digital contents by said sales staff, and
wherein said identification information of said digital contents, identification information of said customer and identification information of a sales staff are read by a device for selling said generated digital contents.
5. A computer readable storage medium having stored thereon program for selling digital contents, said program when executed causes a computer to perform the steps of:
receiving as an input to said computer identification information of digital contents selected by a customer;
confirming that a payment of a charge for said digital contents selected by the customer is completed;
generating digital contents by setting identification information for identifying said customer and information for indicating a complete payment confirmation of the charge for said selected digital contents in said selected digital contents as status information for permitting said customer to replay said selected digital contents;
selling said generated digital contents as an output from said computer to said customer;
authenticating a sales staff who confirms the payment of the charge for said selected digital contents; and
recording identification information of said sales staff who confirms the payment of the charge for said selected digital contents,
wherein in said confirming step, a payment confirmation from said sales staff is input,
wherein said recording of identification information of said sales staff is used to prevent unauthorized processing of said digital contents by said sales staff, and
wherein said identification information of said digital contents, identification information of said customer and identification information of a sales staff are read by a device for selling said generated digital contents.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A plasma processing method comprising the steps of:
locating a sample inside a processing chamber in which a vacuum-processing space is constituted,
processing a layer to be processed which is disposed on a surface of said sample using plasma inside of said processing chamber which is generated by an electric field from a high-frequency power source, and
supplying and halting supply of high-frequency power into said processing chamber from said high-frequency power source between processing of samples in said processing chamber under a condition that no plasma is generated inside said processing chamber while exhausting the inside of said processing chamber.
2. The plasma processing method according to claim 1, further comprising the steps of:
performing a plasma cleaning of said inside of said processing chamber; and
after said plasma cleaning, performing said supplying and halting supply of said high-frequency power into said processing chamber from said high-frequency power source under said condition that no plasma is generated inside said processing chamber.
3. A plasma processing method according to claim 2, wherein said high-frequency power is supplied to a wall of said processing chamber facing said vacuum-processing space in which said plasma is generated, and a surface of said wall being covered by a film of dielectric material.
4. A plasma processing method according to claim 1, wherein said high-frequency power is supplied to a wall of said processing chamber facing said vacuum-processing space in which said plasma is generated, and a surface of said wall being covered by a film of dielectric material.
5. A plasma processing method comprising the steps of:
locating a sample inside a processing chamber in which a vacuum-processing space is constituted;
processing a layer to be processed which is disposed on a surface of the sample using plasma inside of the processing chamber which is generated by an electric field from a high-frequency power source; and
supplying and halting supply of high-frequency power from the high-frequency power source into the processing chamber between processings of samples under a condition of performing no discharge inside of the processing chamber while exhausting the inside of the processing chamber.
6. A plasma processing method according to claim 5, further comprising the steps of:
