no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0031] figure 1 It is an overview diagram of the content delivery system according to the embodiment of the present invention. Such as figure 1 As shown, the content distribution system 1 has a user terminal 10 , a gateway server 20 , a customer management system 30 and a content server 40 .

[0032] The user terminal 10 is, for example, a mobile terminal, and is connected to the gateway server 20 through a base station (not shown) or the like. Gateway server 20 (relay server) is a server of a communication carrier for relaying communication between user terminal 10 and content server 40 . The customer management system 30 is a system for managing user attributes (for example, charge form, user age, etc.) of the user terminal 10 contracted with a communication carrier, and is connected to the gateway server 20 . Furthermore, the customer management system 30 can be accessed from the gateway server 20 managed by the communication carrier, but cannot be accessed from the cont...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0066] Next, in the second embodiment, in the content distribution system 1, the gateway server 20 distinguishes the content distributed to the user terminal 10 according to whether the user age of the user terminal 10 is above a predetermined age. The difference of the gateway server 20 involved will be mainly explained.

[0067] The content acquisition unit 22 according to the second embodiment acquires content for a predetermined age that can be classified into contents for a predetermined age that includes information for a predetermined age and is targeted at users above a predetermined age, and content for a predetermined age that does not include information for a predetermined age. the content of the content. Specifically, as Figure 6 As shown in (a), the content in a distinguishable form according to the second embodiment includes a tag c for a predetermined age for distributing information for a predetermined age.

[0068] The customer management system search uni...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0073] Next, in the third embodiment, an example of distributing content to the user terminal 10 by the gateway server 20 in the content distribution system 1 according to whether the service area of ​​the user terminal 10 is suitable for a predetermined area is compared with the second embodiment. The difference of the gateway server 20 involved will be mainly explained.

[0074] The content acquiring unit 22 according to the third embodiment acquires content with scheduled area information that can be distinguished into content including scheduled area information targeting users whose service area is in the scheduled area, and content without scheduled area information that does not include scheduled area information. The content of the region info content.

[0075] The user attribute judging unit 25 according to the third embodiment judges whether or not the service area of ​​the user terminal 10 acquired by a terminal location management system (not shown) fits into a pre...

Abstract

To enable content distributed to a user terminal to be optimized and distributed on the network side in accordance with various conditions on the user terminal (10) side without increasing the processing load on the content server (40) side, a gateway server (20) (relay server) acquires content in an editable form from the content server (40), edits the acquired content based on an editing condition of the user terminal (10), and distributes the edited content to the user terminal (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a relay server for distributing content to user terminals, a content distributing system and a content distributing method. Background technique [0002] In conventionally known content distribution systems, users select appropriate content according to the payment form of the user terminal, thereby optimizing the content distributed to the user terminal by the content provider (for example, Patent Document 1). [0003] In this content distributing system, when the billing form of the user terminal is a flat-rate system in which a fixed fee is charged regardless of the amount of communication data, the user selects high-value-added content such as high-resolution and moving images. On the other hand, in the case where the charging form of the user terminal is a non-flat rate system in which charging is based on the amount of communication data, the user selects low-value-added content such as low resolution and still images. T...
