| 20080291848 | Information distribution system, terminal apparatus used in same system and recording medium on which is recorded a program, as well as information processing method - To provide an information distribution system which forms a tree-shaped hierarchical structure and distributes contents information, and in which it is possible for a connection destination of a terminal apparatus newly participating in a hierarchical structure of a distribution channel to be selected by a user of the terminal apparatus. A terminal apparatus, when participating in a hierarchical structure of a certain distribution channel, acquires information on the hierarchical structure, and displays participation statuses in the hierarchical structure of a plurality of terminal apparatus configuring the hierarchical structure in a predetermined topology information display area | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090180493 | Content distribution system, content distribution method, terminal apparatus in content distribution system, and recording medium on which program is recorded - To provide a content distribution system, method, and the like wherein, in a distribution aspect in which, being made a tree-shaped hierarchical structure, content data are forwarded from a content distribution apparatus at an apex to a downstream terminal apparatus, there is no need to separately provide a connection management server for managing the tree-shaped hierarchical structure. In a content distribution system in which a content distribution apparatus and a plurality of terminal apparatus participate, when configuring a distribution aspect in which the terminal apparatus are logically connected in a tree-shaped hierarchical structure, with the content distribution apparatus as an apex, and content data are sequentially forwarded from the content distribution apparatus to a downstream terminal apparatus, one terminal apparatus among the plurality of terminal apparatus participating in the content distribution system is caused to manage a connection condition of the tree-shaped hierarchical structure. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20100250654 | Contents distributed storage system, web page creating method, server device, and computer-readable recording medium in which server processing program is recorded - A server device which can communicate with a node device in a contents distributed storage system stores contents attribute information obtained from a predetermined device which stores the contents attribute information, and creates a Web page in which the contents attribute information is inserted. A node device receive a page request of a Web page from any of node devices, and transmits the created Web page, to a node device which has transmitted the page request, in accordance with the page request. | 09-30-2010 |
