<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data distribution method capable of efficiently distributing data with less load on a center apparatus, and preventing increasing the load on a specific terminal device. <P>SOLUTION: A distribution center 1 distributes musical data or the like by using any one of a plurality of karaoke devices as a master terminal. The karaoke devices (slave terminals) other than the master terminal are (virtually) arranged in a line with the master terminal as a head. The musical data or the like are transferred sequentially from the master terminal in a relay system. The slave terminals, having received the data transfer, each transmits a message of distribution completion to the master terminal. By receiving the message of distribution completion of each of the slave terminals, the master terminal can grasp the progress status of the distribution of musical data or the like. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
