Abstract

A contents providing system provides contents and associated data corresponding to the contents to a plurality of information processing devices. The contents providing system is equipped with a transfer control section that executes a control as to whether a change made to first associated data stored in a first information processing device corresponding to a set of contents is to be transferred from the first information processing device to a second information processing device that stores second associated data corresponding to the set of contents, and the transfer control section executes the control when a specified event occurs.

Claims

1. A contents providing system that provides contents and associated data corresponding to the contents to a plurality of information processing devices, the contents providing system comprising:

a transfer control section that executes a control as to whether a change made to first associated data stored in a first information processing device corresponding to a set of contents is to be transferred from the first information processing device to a second information processing device that stores second associated data corresponding to the set of contents, the transfer control section executing the control when a specified event occurs.

2. A contents providing system according to claim 1, further comprising a judging section that executes a judgment as to whether or not the change has been transferred to the second information processing device,

the transfer control section executing the control so as to transfer the change when the judging section judges that the change has not been transferred to the second information processing device.

3. A contents providing system according to claim 1, wherein

the transfer control section executes the control so as to transfer the change when the set of contents satisfies a specified condition, and

the transfer control section executes the control so as not to transfer the change when the set of contents does not satisfy the specified condition.

4. An information processing device capable of communications with another information processing device and capable of storing contents and associated data corresponding to the contents, the information processing device comprising:

a transfer control section that executes a control as to whether a change made to first associated data stored in a first information processing device corresponding to a set of contents is to be transferred from the first information processing device to a second information processing device that stores second associated data corresponding to the set of contents,

the transfer control section executing the control when a specified event occurs.

5. A contents providing system according to claim 4, further comprising a judging section that executes a judgment as to whether or not the change has been transferred to the second information processing device,

the transfer control section executing the control so as to transfer the change, when the judging section judges that the change has not been transferred to the second information processing device.

6. A contents providing system according to claim 4, wherein

the transfer control section executes the control so as to transfer the change when the set of contents satisfies a specified condition, and

the transfer control section executes the control so as not to transfer the change when the set of contents does not satisfy the specified condition.

7. An information processing device capable of communications with another information processing device and capable of storing contents and associated data corresponding to the contents, the information processing device comprising:

an update section that makes a change to first associated data corresponding to a set of contents stored;

a transfer control section that controls transfer of the change to the other information processing device that stores second associated data corresponding to the set of contents; and

a transmission section that transmits the change to the other information processing device,

the transfer control section instructing the transmission section to transfer the change when a specified event occurs.

8. An information processing device according to claim 7, further comprising a judging section that executes a judgment as to whether or not the change has been transferred to the other information processing device,

the transfer control section instructing the transmission section to transfer the change, when the judging section judges that the change has not been transferred to the other information processing device.

9. An information processing device according to claim 7, wherein

the transfer control section instructs the transmission section to transfer the change when the set of contents satisfies a specified condition, and

the transfer control section does not instruct the transmission section to transfer the change when the set of contents does not satisfy the specified condition.
