Program recording and distributing system, program recording and distributing method, and recording medium for recording a recording and distributing program

A program recording and distributing system providing:

• a first storage device that stores a plurality of recording registration data, which is the recording information of the program data, distributed to a client;
• a second storing device that stores a plurality program data;
• a third storage device that stores a plurality of distribution registration data, which is the distribution information for program data, stored in said second storage device;
• and
• a server that carries out a recording registration process that receives the program recording application data sent from the broadcast station via a communication device from a client terminal, carries out a registration process, and stores this in the first storage device as said recording registration data, a recording process that receives said program data from the broadcast station via either a communication line or a broadcast line and stores said received program data in said second storage device based on the recording registration data stored in said first storage device, a distribution registration process that receives said program distribution data via a communication device from a client terminal, carries out a registration process, and stores this in said third storage device as said distribution registration data, and a distribution process in which the program data stored in said second storage device is distributed via a communication device based on the distribution registration data stored in said third storage device.

A program recording and distributing method in a server that records and distributes programs broadcast from a broadcast station, wherein said program recording and distribution method comprises:

• a step of storing in a first storage device a plurality of program data received via either a communication line or broadcast line from said broadcast station;
• a step of receiving said distribution application data for a program via a communication device from a client terminal, carrying out a registration process, and storing this in a second storage device as distribution registration data;
• and
• a step of distributing via a communication device program data stored in said first storage device based on the distribution registration data stored in said second storage device.

A program recording and distributing method in a server that records and distributes programs broadcast from a broadcast station, wherein said program recording and distributing method comprises:

• a step of receiving said program recording application data via a communication device from a client terminal, carrying out a registration process, and storing this in a first storage means as recording registration data;
• a step of receiving program data via either a communication line or a broadcast line from said broadcast station and storing said received program data in a second storage device based on recording registration data stored in said first storage device;
• a step of receiving distribution application data for a program via a communication device from a client terminal, carrying out a registration process, and storing this in a third storage device as distribution registration data;
• and
• a step of distributing via a communication device program data stored in said second storage device based on the distribution registration data stored in said third storage device.

A program recording and distributing method comprising:

• a step of recording a plurality of programs broadcast from a broadcast station;
• a step of receiving said distribution application program from a client;
• a step of registering the received distribution applications as distribution information;
• and
• a step of distributing said recorded programs based on the registered distribution information.

A program recording and distributing method comprising:

• a step of receiving from a clients recording applications for programs broadcast from broadcast stations;
• a step of registering the received recording applications as recording information;
• a step of recording said programs based on the registered recording information;
• a step of receiving distribution application for a program from a client;
• a step of registering the received distribution applications as distribution information;
• and a step of distributing said recorded programs based on registered distribution information.

A computer readable recording medium that stores a program recording and distributing program for carrying out a program recording and distribution process in a server that records and distributes broadcast programs from a broadcast station, wherein said program recording and distributing program executes on a computer:

• a process for storing in a first storage device a plurality of program data via either a communication line or a broadcast line from said broadcast station;
• a process for receiving said distribution application data for a program via a communication device from a client terminal, carrying a out registration process, and storing this in the second storage device as distribution registration data;
• and
• a process for distributing via a communication device program data stored in said first storage means based on the distribution registration data stored in said second storage device.
