When the user PC (106) transmits reservation request informati on to the server use reservation management center (101) through the Internet (103), a reservation ID used only for authentication about the reservation i s created if the reservation is accepted and transmitted to the user PC (106) from the server use reservation management center (101) through the Internet (103). If the user PC (106) sends a distribution request to the streaming server (102), authentication using the reservation ID is performed.
