System, apparatus, method and computer program for processing information

An information processing method of an information processing system including a first information processing apparatus with a first electrode, installed at a ticket gate, for performing a ticket inspection process, and a second information processing apparatus with a second electrode settled parallel to an entering direction of passenger for performing a content delivery process subsequent to the ticket inspection process, the method comprising steps of:

• through the first information processing apparatus,
• authenticating a communication terminal mounted on a passenger passing through the ticket gate by communicating the communication terminal, the communication terminal communicating using as a communication medium a dielectric material including the human body of the passenger;
• performing the ticket inspection process on the authenticated communication terminal;
• and
• registering an identification of the communication terminal that has undergone the ticket inspection process, and
• through the second information processing apparatus,
• determining whether the identification of the communication terminal acquired in communication with the communication terminal is registered by the first information processing apparatus;
• acquiring subscription information of a content stored on the communication terminal if the identification of the communication terminal is determined to be registered by the first information processing apparatus;
• and
• delivering the content to the communication terminal in accordance with the acquired subscription information.
