Abstract

A recording medium recording a relay program, relay method and device controlling a relay device which displays content information stored in a storage device on a display apparatus via a network. The relay method and system include receiving, from the display apparatus, an acquisition request for the content information in the storage device, transmitting predetermined identification information to the display apparatus which is a transmission source of the acquisition request in response to receiving the acquisition request for the content information, and transferring, from the storage device to the display apparatus, the content information corresponding to the acquisition request from the display apparatus when the identification information transmitted to the display apparatus is acquired from an information processing apparatus other than the storage device and the display apparatus.

Claims

1. A computer-readable recording medium recording a relay program causing a computer to execute operations including controlling a relay device which displays content information stored in a storage device on a display apparatus via a network, the operations comprising:

receiving, from the display apparatus, an acquisition request for the content information in the storage device;

transmitting predetermined identification information to the display apparatus which is a transmission source of the acquisition request, upon receiving the acquisition request for the content information; and

transferring, from the storage device to the display apparatus, the content information indicated in the acquisition request from the display apparatus when the identification information transmitted to the display apparatus is acquired from an information processing apparatus other than the storage device and the display apparatus.

2. The recording medium recording the relay program according to claim 1, wherein the identification information and the content information are displayed on the display apparatus.

3. The recording medium recording the relay program according to claim 1, wherein the acquisition request received for the content information is managed as part of the identification information.

4. The recording medium recording the relay program according to claim 1, wherein the identification information is acquired by transmitting a request for the identification information to the information processing apparatus.

5. The recording medium recording the relay program according to claim 1, wherein content information representing the identification information is produced and transmitted to the display apparatus.

6. A relay device for displaying content information stored in a storage device on a display apparatus via a network, the relay device comprising:

a receiving unit receiving, from the display apparatus, an acquisition request for the content information in the storage device;

an identification information transmitting unit transmitting predetermined identification information to the display apparatus which is a transmission source of the acquisition request, upon receiving the acquisition request for the content information by the receiving unit; and

a transfer unit transferring, from the storage device to the display apparatus, the content information indicated in the acquisition request from the display apparatus when the identification information transmitted to the display apparatus is acquired from an information processing apparatus other than the storage device and the display apparatus.

7. A control method for a relay device which displays content information stored in a storage device on a display apparatus via a network, the control method comprising:

receiving, from the display apparatus, an acquisition request for the content information in the storage device;

transmitting predetermined identification information to the display apparatus which is a transmission source of the acquisition request, upon receiving the acquisition request for the content information; and

transferring, from the storage device to the display apparatus, the content information indicated in the acquisition request from the display apparatus when the identification information transmitted to the display apparatus is acquired from an information processing apparatus other than the storage device and the display apparatus.

8. A method of controlling a relay device, comprising:

transmitting identification information to a transmission source of content information in response to a request for content; and

transferring the content from a first network to a second network of said transmission source in response to determination that said identification information matches data provided using an portable device.
