CONTENT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND CONTENT DISTRIBUTION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive and secure content distribution system.

SOLUTION: A content distribution method includes steps for: sequentially transmitting a plurality of order-acceptable content data in one direction from a content center to a relay terminal together with a distribution content ID; receiving the plurality of content data and the distribution content ID in the relay terminal; receiving an order from a user at the relay terminal and identifying content data corresponding to the order among the plurality of content data received from the content center; and transmitting the identified content data to a user mobile terminal or a storage medium attachable to and detachable from the user mobile terminal. Since it is not necessary for the content center itself to identify content data corresponding to the order, facilities in the content center can be remarkably simplified and distribution costs can be reduced.
