<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent additional data for other game programs from being accidentally downloaded by appropriately downloading additional data which are adapted for the game program. <P>SOLUTION: In an additional data distribution system, a user takes in his hand a desired thing out of a goods card 17 displayed on the inside of a shop and presents it to a shop clerk. A bar code showing an additional data ID is printed in the goods card 17 and the shop clerk operates a bar code reader 16 to scan it. The additional data ID read by the bar code reader 16 is transmitted to a center server 18 with a game program ID read from a game cartridge 10, and the center server 18 checks the compatibility of the additional data and game program based on these IDs and transmits the demanded additional data only when they are adapted. The additional data transmitted from the center server 18 are conserved in a game cartridge 10 through a POS terminal 13. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
