PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for efficiently managing distribution of content to devices.SOLUTION: The system comprises: a database for storing elements representing the device as a hierarchical structure and for associating content identifiers with the elements in the hierarchical structure; and a server for referencing the hierarchical structure in the database to generate a profile for the device, the profile including content identifiers indicating content to be provided to the device. A device manager associated with the device uses the content identifiers in a profile received from the server to provide the device with the content indicated by the profile, and keeps a record identifying the content provided to the device in accordance with the profile. Upon receipt of a subsequent profile from the server, the device manager compares the content identifiers in the subsequent profile with the record to determine new content not yet provided on the device and old content no longer to be provided on the device, and uses the content identifiers to provide the new content to the device and to remove the old content. |
