The selected servers 31, 32 are provided as information to each of the players 41-43, and each of the players 41-43 accesses the servers 31, 32 on the basis of the provided information. In this way, since the number of video distribution connections can be strictly managed and the number of connections of video distributions can be exactly determined even when a lot of viewing requests of distributed videos are received, an accurate load balance function can be obtained. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
