A content delivery system includes a content server and a client communicatively connected to the content server. The content server includes a content transmission unit for sending a content to the client. The client includes a content reception unit for receiving the content from the content server, a content reproduction unit for reproducing the received content, a metadata generation unit for applying predetermined analysis processing to the received content to generate metadata that indicates a result of the analysis processing, and a metadata transmission unit for sending the generated metadata.
