Abstract

A client-server system including: a server device including a contents transmitting unit to transmit contents; and a client terminal device which is connected to the server device through a wireless network, including: a content receiving unit to receive the transmitted contents; and an output control unit to output the received contents to an output unit, wherein the server device includes: a storing unit to store connection information to connect the client terminal device to the server device; and a recording control unit to record the connection information stored in the storing unit on the mobile recording medium loaded on the server device, and the client terminal device includes: a connection control unit to connect the client terminal device to the server device based on the connection information recorded on the mobile recording medium, only when the mobile recording medium is loaded on the client terminal device.

Claims

1. A client-server system comprising:

a server device including a contents transmitting unit to transmit contents; and

a client terminal device which is connected to the server device through a wireless network, including;

a content receiving unit to receive the contents transmitted by the contents transmitting unit; and

an output control unit to output the contents received by the contents receiving unit to an output unit,

wherein the client terminal device comprises;

a connection control unit to connect the client terminal device to the server device through the wireless network based on connection information recorded on a mobile recording medium on which the connection information to connect the client terminal device to the server device through the wireless network is recorded, only when the mobile recording medium is loaded on the client terminal device;

a view restriction information transmitting unit to transmit view restriction information recorded on the mobile recording medium related to view restriction to the contents transmitted by the contents transmitting unit to the server device connected by the connection control unit; and

a transmission request unit to request transmission of contents to the server device connected by the connection control unit, and

the server device comprises;

a storing unit to store the connection information;

a recording control unit to record the connection information stored in the storing unit on the mobile recording medium loaded on the server device; and

a determination unit to determine whether the contents requested to be transmitted by the transmission request unit are restricted to view based on the view restriction information transmitted by the view restriction information transmitting unit, and

wherein the content transmitting unit transmits the contents when the determination unit determines that the contents requested to be transmitted by the transmission request unit are not restricted to view.

2. A client-server system comprising:

a server device including a contents transmitting unit to transmit contents; and

a client terminal device which is connected to the server device through a wireless network, including;

a content receiving unit to receive the contents transmitted by the contents transmitting unit; and

an output control unit to output the contents received by the contents receiving unit to an output unit,

wherein the server device comprises;

a storing unit to store connection information to connect the client terminal device to the server device through the wireless network; and

a recording control unit to record the connection information stored in the storing unit on the mobile recording medium loaded on the server device, and the client terminal device comprises;

a connection control unit to connect the client terminal device to the server device through the wireless network based on the connection information recorded on the mobile recording medium on which the connection information is recorded by the recording control unit, only when the mobile recording medium is loaded on the client terminal device.

3. The client-server system according to claim 2,

wherein view restriction information related to view restriction to the contents transmitted by the contents transmitting unit is recorded on the mobile recording medium,

the client terminal device comprises:

a view restriction information transmitting unit to transmit the view restriction information recorded on the mobile recording medium to the server device connected by the connection control unit; and

a transmission request unit to request transmission of contents to the server device connected by the connection control unit,

the server device comprises;

a determination unit to determine whether the contents requested to be transmitted by the transmission request unit are restricted to view based on the view restriction information transmitted by the view restriction information transmitting unit, and

wherein the contents transmitting unit transmits the contents when the determination unit determines that the contents requested to be transmitted by the transmission request unit are not restricted to view.

4. The client-server system according to claim 2,

wherein view restriction information related to view restriction to the contents transmitted by the contents transmitting unit is recorded on the mobile recording medium,

the client terminal device comprises:

a determination unit to determine whether the contents transmitted by the contents transmitting unit are restricted to view based on the view restriction information recorded on the mobile recording medium, and

wherein the output control unit outputs the contents to the output unit when the determination unit determines that the contents transmitted by the contents transmitting unit are not restricted to view.
