Content distribution device

A content distribution device comprising:

• a connecting unit that is connectable to a storage device including a first antenna, a first wireless communication unit that performs data communication with a content reception device through the first antenna based on a first wireless communication system, a second antenna, and a second wireless communication unit that performs data communication with the content reception device through the second antenna based on a second wireless communication system, the first wireless communication system enabling communication to be performed in a communication range larger than a communication range of the second wireless communication system, the second wireless communication system enabling communication to be performed at a data transfer rate higher than a data transfer rate of the first wireless communication system;
• and
• a controller configured to distribute a distribution data file to the content reception device,
• wherein the controller is configured to
• divide the distribution data file into a plurality of packets,
• add first information indicating packet numbers in a transmission order,
• transmit the packets having the first information,
• switch communication with the content reception device from the first wireless communication system to the second wireless communication system while transmitting the distribution data file to the content reception device, and
• hand over second information indicating the packet number to the second wireless communication unit when the communication with the content reception device is switched from the first wireless communication system to the second wireless communication system, and
• the second wireless communication unit transmits the packets from a middle of the transmission order based on the handed over second information to the content reception device.

A storage device comprising:

• a first antenna;
• a first wireless communication unit that performs data communication with a content reception device through the first antenna based on a first wireless communication system;
• a second antenna;
• a second wireless communication unit that performs data communication with the content reception device through the second antenna based on a second wireless communication system, the first wireless communication system enabling communication to be performed in a communication range larger than a communication range of the second wireless communication system, the second wireless communication system enabling communication to be performed at a data transfer rate higher than a data transfer rate of the first wireless communication system;
• a non-volatile memory;
• and
• a controller configured to distribute a distribution data file in the non-volatile memory to the content reception device in a state where the storage device is connected to an information processing device,
• wherein the controller is configured to
• divide the distribution data file into a plurality of packets,
• add first information indicating packet numbers in a transmission order,
• transmit the packets having the first information,
• switch communication with the content reception device from the first wireless communication system to the second wireless communication system while transmitting the distribution data file to the content reception device, and
• hand over second information indicating the packet number to the second wireless communication unit when the communication with the content reception device is switched from the first wireless communication system to the second wireless communication system, and
• the second wireless communication unit transmits the packets from a middle of the transmission order based on the handed over second information to the content reception device.
