CONTENTS DISTRIBUTION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contents distribution method which can display contents in a unified way in user side regardless locations in which contents are stored and acquire/reproduce contents without making users care locations in which many contents are stored. SOLUTION: A system has a management device 30 that receives contents 1 distributed from a distribution station 10 or a relay station 20 that relays the contents 1, and a plurality of terminal devices 40 that are distributed with the contents 1 from the management device 30. In the contents distribution method of the system, the contents 1 distributed from the distribution station 10 are associated with metadata 2. When the contents 10 are stored in the relay station 20, the management device 30 or the terminal devices 40, the stations and the devices add their own position information to the metadata 2 of the stored contents 1.
