CONTENT PROVIDING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
First Claim
1. A content providing system comprising a content providing server and a content receiving client, characterized in that:
- the content receiving client includes;
a communication unit that executes a communication process via a home network; and
a data processing unit that executes a process of receiving a content providing service provided by an external server existing outside the home network, by using mapping information in which the external server is set as a virtual home network device,the data processing unit is configured to;
execute a process of obtaining device information of the client and registering the device information in a database existing outside the home network, andthe content providing server is configured to;
execute a process of obtaining the device information of the client, registered in the database, and providing the client with content matching the device.

Abstract
A configuration is provided in which a client in a home network receives content from a server outside the home network and plays the content. A home IMS gateway maps an external server outside the home network as a virtual home network device, and executes a process of receiving a content providing service provided by the external server by using mapping information. Furthermore, device information of the client is obtained and registered in a database existing outside the home network, and a content providing server executes a process of obtaining the device information and providing the client with content matching the device.
