INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION METHOD

摘要

An information distribution system includes a reception unit to receive first data from an application; plug-ins respectively corresponding to types of the devices; a determination unit to determine, for each of one or more devices specified by one or more pieces of selected address specification information, whether the first data relates to the first data which is a conversion source of one or more pieces of second data having been transmitted; and a distribution unit to transmit, to the devices using the plug-ins, the one or more pieces of second data each obtained by conversion into a data format specified by the data format information a and information for identifying whether the first data which is a conversion source of the one or more pieces of second data relates to the first data which is the conversion source of the one or more pieces of second data having been transmitted.

1. An information distribution system that distributes information to devices of a plurality of types, the information distribution system comprising:
a reception unit configured to receive first data from an application; a plurality of plug-ins
respectively correspond to the plurality of types of the devices, andconfigured to control storage of data format information indicating one or more data formats capable of being used by the devices and storage of one or more pieces of address specification information indicating addresses of the devices, and to transmit, to one or more devices, one or more pieces of second data obtained by converting a data format of the first data; an acquisition unit configured to acquire, from one or more of the plug-ins, the address specification information and the data format information; a display control unit configured to perform control to display, on a display device, a selection screen for receiving selection of one or more pieces of address specification information from among the one or more pieces of address specification information acquired by the acquisition unit; a determination unit configured to determine, for each of the one or more devices specified by the one or more pieces of selected address specification information, whether the first data relates to the first data which is a conversion source of the one or more pieces of second data that have been already transmitted; and a distribution unit configured to transmit the one or more pieces of second data each obtained by conversion into a data format specified by the data format information acquired by the acquisition unit and information for identifying whether the first data which is a conversion source of the one or more pieces of second data relates to the first data which is the conversion source of the one or more pieces of second data that have been already transmitted to the one or more devices specified by the one or more pieces of address specification information received through the selection screen using the plug-ins.
