| 1. An output time management apparatus comprising:
an output time management means for acquiring a specific object data, a time management program for controlling an output
of said specific object data, and an upper limit time for which the output of said object data is permitted, from data stored
in a removable storing medium,
a time counter for measuring an accumulation time representing the time elapsed from start of outputting the specific object
data from the output time management apparatus,
a comparator for comparing said upper limit time for said specific object data and said accumulation time for said object
data measured by said time counter, and
a controller for, executing said time management program acquired by said output time management means and outputting said
specific object data based on said time management program, and after the comparison by said comparator, suspending the output
of said specific object data when it is found that said accumulation time reaches said upper limit time.
