摘要 |
An information distribution system, a terminal device, an information distribution server, an information distribution server, an information distribution method, a terminal device connection method, an information processing program product, and a storage medium are provided. An information distribution system with a tree-structure network includes an information distribution server placed in a root node and terminal devices placed in nodes below the root node. Bidirectional communication can be always performed between the nodes. When a terminal device sends a request for information to be distributed from the information distribution server, each of the terminal devices constituting the information distribution system transfers the request to an adjacent node, the request transfer being performed from the requesting terminal device to a storage node storing the information, and transfers to an adjacent node the information supplied from the storage node, the information transfer being performed from the storage node to the requesting terminal device, in response to the transferred request. The requesting terminal device stores the transferred information.
