CONTENT RESERVATION DELIVERY SYSTEM AND CONTENT DELIVERY DEVICE

摘要

In order to download a content at high speed from a content delivery device (104) such as a kiosk terminal or the like to a mobile information terminal (101), the download of the content is started from a content server (102) to the content delivery device (104) before the mobile information terminal (101) approaches the content delivery device (104) to such a distance that the mobile information terminal (101) can directly communicate with the content delivery device (104) by using a high-speed wireless communication means (103). Therefore, the content delivery device (104), when detecting that an access point (106) located within the neighborhood area (107) of the content delivery device (104) starts to communicate with the mobile information terminal (101) by using a low-speed wireless communication means (105b), transmits a content download request to the content server (102). The content delivery device (104) temporarily stores the downloaded content and transfers the downloaded content to the mobile information terminal (101) by using the high-speed wireless communication means (103).
