<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a broadcast system, method, and apparatus providing content arranged on demand from clients. <P>SOLUTION: The broadcast system includes a server that broadcasts meta-data to a plurality of clients. The meta-data describes a plurality of data files that are to be broadcast or potentially broadcast by the server. Each client receives the meta-data and updates and maintains a local meta-data table and a content rating table. The client systems transmit back to the server ratings of each one of the data files described by the meta-data based on the user's previously accessed data files and user's optional classifications. The server then determines whether to broadcast the data files and the broadcast schedule based on the ratings received from the clients. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
