摘要： It is an object of the present invention to enhance convenience and service qualities in an information distribution system. In a server serving as an information distribution apparatus and an information communication terminal, contents are managed by using content identifiers (content IDs) managed as IDs conforming to a rule of uniformity. Particularly, in the information communication terminal, a content ripped from a recording medium such as a CD and stored in storage means such as an HDD is also managed by using a content identifier acquired from the information distribution apparatus. In this way, contents stored in the storage means can be managed by using content IDs each managed as an ID common to the information communication terminal and the information distribution apparatus. In communication between the information communication terminal and the information distribution apparatus, a content identifier conforming to a rule of uniformity is used for identifying a content to which the content identifier is assigned so that the terminal is capable of downloading the content as well as acquiring additional information relevant to the content from the apparatus, and the apparatus is capable of rendering a plurality of other services.

摘要： A method for providing purchased content is provided. Management data including the identification data of the purchased content data stored in the information processing apparatus is received. Backup data of a user identification associated with the information processing apparatus is updated based on the management data. A request with the user identification associated with the information processing apparatus is received. A determination is made as to whether the request is authorized based on an authentication process. A list of identification data of content data identified in the backup data is provided to the information processing apparatus in response to a determination that the request is authorized. Further, the purchased content data without the fee is provided to the information processing apparatus based on a user selection of the identification data of the purchased content data from the list of the identification data of the content data.
