Contents conversion control method and contents use system

A contents use system in which a user uses a terminal to use contents working as multi-media information from an information management section via an electric communication network according to a method according to an information conversion control method for converting contents working as multi-media information into an information format that corresponds to a user terminal wherein:

• converting operation information for converting and controlling contents is inputted to an information conversion management section;
• a contents distinction section distinguishes that the contents are inputted, extracts contents information, that is an attribute information related to the contents contained in the contents, inputs the contents information to the information conversion management section and outputs the contents to an information conversion section;
• the information conversion management section controls the information conversion section based on the converting operation information and the contents information;
• the information conversion section converts the inputted contents by the control of the information conversion management section;
• and
• the user terminal receives the converted contents, said system being characterized in that, in the system:
• the user terminal comprises:
• an information input/output section adapted to input personal information related to the user and select contents presented by the information management section,
• a contents registration processing section for a user terminal adapted to register contents to be used by the user,
• a contents storage section for a user terminal adapted to store the contents registered by the contents registration processing section for a user terminal,
• a contents read-out processing section for a user terminal adapted to read out the contents from the contents storage section for a user terminal,
• a contents information registration processing section for a user terminal adapted to register the contents information including information related to contents, such as titles, IDs and information formats of contents, and to accesses to contents,
• a contents information storage section for a user terminal adapted to store the contents information registered by the contents information registration processing section for a user terminal,
• a contents information retrieval processing section for a user terminal adapted to use an ID included in the content information as an input, retrieve contents information corresponding to the inputted ID by means of the contents information storage section for a user terminal and output the retrieved contents information, and
• a transmission/reception section for a user terminal adapted to perform transmission/reception of data with the information management section via the electric communication network, and,
• the information management section comprises:
• a user registration processing section adapted to register personal information of users, such as names, addresses, ages, passwords and IDs, and user information related to accesses of users,
• a user information storage section adapted to store the personal information and the user information registered by the user registration processing section,
• a user information retrieval processing section adapted to use the personal information as an input, retrieve user information corresponding to the inputted information by means of the user information storage section and output the retrieved user information,
• a contents information registration processing section for the information management section adapted to register the contents information including information related to contents, such as titles, IDs and information formats of contents, and accesses to contents,
• a contents information storage section for the information management section adapted to store the contents information registered by the contents information registration processing section for the information management section,
• a contents information retrieval processing section for the information management section adapted to use an ID included in the contents information as an input, retrieve contents information corresponding to the inputted ID by means of the contents information storage section for the information management section and output the retrieved contents information,
• a contents use information registration processing section adapted to register contents use information related to use histories of contents corresponding to the user,
• a contents use information storage section adapted to store the contents use information registered by the contents use information registration processing section,
• a contents use information retrieval processing section adapted to use the user information outputted by the user information retrieval processing section and the contents ID outputted by the contents information retrieval processing section as an input, retrieve contents use information corresponding to the inputted information by means of the contents use information storage section and output the retrieved contents use information,
• a user authentication section adapted to authenticate ID, password and so on of the user to determine whether the user can use or not,
• a contents registration processing section for the information management section adapted to register contents,
• a contents storage section for the information management section adapted to store the contents registered by the contents registration processing section for the information management section,
• a contents read-out processing section for the information management section adapted to read out the contents from the contents storage section for the information management section, and
• a transmission/reception section for the information management section adapted to perform transmission/reception of data with the user terminal via the electric communication network.
