CONTENT DISTRIBUTION RESERVATION METHOD, CONTENT DISTRIBUTION METHOD, RESERVATION MANAGEMENT DEVICE, AND PROGRAM

摘要

When a reservation for live distribution of a content is made, the distributor can consider the complement of the receivers of the content or the use charge. In a content supply system (100), a streaming server (102) is used for live distribution. Therefore, a user PC (106) is used to make a reservation for the time zone by accessing a server use reservation management center (101) through the Internet (103). The streaming server (102) has channels for distribution, so that the server (102) can perform distribution through the channels in the same time zone. Use charge and complement of receivers are set for each channel. Considering these settings, a user can specify the channel for distribution when making a reservation.
