<p>Upon a reception of a request for connection from a terminal unit (101), a server (121) sends a start menu screen for video selection. A video selection range is narrowed by changing menu screens. When a certain menu screen is reached, a history table (126) is accessed to read frequencies of use of a plurality of corresponding videos. Heading parts of frequently used videos are sent to the terminal unit (101), where they are stored in a terminal memory (105). With a final selection of a video, its heading part is read from the terminal memory (105), to be reproduced. A desired video quickly starts. The remaining part of the video is sent from the server (121). <IMAGE></p> |
