42 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING AND MONITORING THE USE OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE Abstract Remote control of the use of computer data and video game software is described in a system for renting computer software which derives use and billing information, prevents unauthorized use, maintains integrity of the software and controls related intercomputer communications. A user at a target game or computer "downloads" programs or data, via a telephone line and remote control modules, from a central host computer. Usage of the video game and other program software or data by the target computer or other accounting data are recorded and stored and, at predetermined times, the host computer "uploads" the usage data for processing. Other features include: (1) software and usage security for rental software programs; (2) a polynomial generator/checker for generating block check characters for assuring integrity of data transmitted and received; (3) a voice-data switch for switching between data communication and normal telephone communication; and (4) an audio amplifier and speaker for monitoring of activity on the communication line during data transfers.
