Apparatus, method and program for content distribution

摘要

A news content receiving terminal (102) transmits an identifier of a news content to be requested and a terminal capability level to a news content distribution server (101). A variation database (105) manages variations of each content for every receiving terminal capability level. Based on the variation database (105), a variation to be distributed is determined. A meta database (103) manages meta data of each content. A meta data interpreting section (107) parses the meta data to obtain the variation to be transmitted. A usage rule database (104) manages usage rules for every set of a news content and the receiving terminal capability level. Based on the usage rule database (104), the usage rule to be distributed is determined. Thus, the usage rule according to the variation of the content can be distributed. <IMAGE>
