Information providing system, information terminal device, information server device and information providing method
First Claim
1. An information providing system comprising:
- a transmission server section for transmitting a continuous stream of contents data of a group of multimedia contents including prearranged combinations of program main body data and groups of auxiliary materials;
terminal sections for receiving the continuous stream of contents data transmitted from said transmission server section; and
said terminal sections being provided with an arrangement control function of preparing a new arrangement by modifying the arrangement order of the contents data by processing the attribute data of each program main body data and that of each auxiliary material of a program as separated from each other as well as the profile data of the user and that of the user device.

Abstract
An information providing system allows to intentionally modify the arrangement of clips to be reproduced from that of the first transmission. The program clips and the CM clips obtained by receiving those broadcast are stored in recorded result storage section 11 and rearrangement examining section 15 carries out a processing operation of comparing the attributes of each of the clips and the applicable profile data generated by applicable profile generating section 14. Then, the sequence of reproducing the contents clips is modified on the basis of the result of the processing operation and download operating section 16 downloads the contents clips to be added on an on-demand basis. Then, the final arrangement section 17 rearranges the sequence of reproducing the contents clips including those to be added to set up the final arrangement.
