Information-processing device, audiovisual distribution system and audiovisual distribution method

An audiovisual distribution system including a plurality of information-processing devices that mutually transmit audiovisual distribution start requests to, thereby, start the audiovisual distribution or reception, wherein:

• each of the plurality of information-processing devices comprises
• a distribution request part that transmits the distribution start request to another information-processing device;
• a distribution response part that transmits a distribution start response for the distribution start request from another information-processing device to the another information-processing device;
• and
• a distribution control part that controls the distribution request part or the distribution response part upon start of the audiovisual distribution or reception to regulate transmission of the distribution start request or the distribution start response.

An audiovisual distribution method in an information-processing device including:

• mutually transmitting audiovisual distribution start requests with another information-processing device to, thereby, start the audiovisual distribution or reception, wherein
• the information-processing device includes:
• a distribution request part transmitting the distribution start request to another information-processing device;
• a distribution response part transmitting a distribution start response for the distribution start request from another information-processing device to the another information-processing device;
• and
• a distribution control part controlling the distribution request part and the distribution response part, and the method comprising:
• regulating transmission of the distribution start request or the distribution start response upon start of the audiovisual distribution or reception by the distribution control part.

A recording medium that records a program for an audiovisual distribution method on an information-processing device mutually transmitting audiovisual distribution start requests with another information-processing device to, thereby, start the audiovisual distribution or reception, wherein

• the information-processing device includes a distribution request part transmitting the distribution start request to another information-processing device;
• a distribution response part transmitting a distribution start response for the distribution start request from another information-processing device to the another information-processing device;
• a distribution control part controlling the distribution request part and the distribution response part;
• and a recording medium recording the program;
• and wherein
• a program is stored in the recording medium for causing the distribution control part to regulate transmission of the distribution start request or the distribution start response upon start of the audiovisual distribution or reception.

An information-processing device transmitting an audiovisual distribution start request mutually with another information-processing device to, thereby, start the audiovisual distribution or reception comprising:

• distribution request means that transmits the distribution start request to another information-processing device;
• distribution response means that transmits a distribution start response for the distribution start request from another information-processing device to the another information-processing device;
• and
• distribution control means that controls the distribution request means or the distribution response means upon start of the audiovisual distribution or reception to regulate transmission of the distribution start request or the distribution start response.
