First Claim
1. An information providing system comprising:
- a transmission server section configured to transmit a continuous stream of contents data of a group of multimedia contents including prearranged combinations of program main body data prepared with sorting information annexed thereto and groups of auxiliary materials;
terminal sections having a function of receiving the continuous stream of contents data transmitted from said transmission server section, a function of recording the program main body data and the auxiliary materials received by it, a function of recording the sorting information annexed to said program main body data and said auxiliary materials and a function of transmitting the sorting information annexed to the program main body data and the auxiliary materials selected by it along with terminal ID information; and
a processing server section configured to detect any change to be made to the auxiliary materials combined with the selected program main body data and, upon detecting such a change, issuing an instruction for the change made to be made to said auxiliary materials to the terminal sections,wherein said terminal sections are configured to receive the instruction for the change to be made to the auxiliary materials from said processing server section and send, to the processing server section, the conditions for the instruction for the change and an acknowledgment or refusal of the change on the basis of the relationship between attributes of the program main body data and the auxiliary materials and user profile.

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.

10. An information providing method comprising:
-
transmitting, from a transmission server section, a continuous stream of contents data of a group of multimedia contents including prearranged combinations of program main body data prepared with sorting information annexed thereto and groups of auxiliary materials; detecting any change to be made to the auxiliary materials combined with the selected program main body data and, upon detecting such a change, issuing an instruction for the change made to be made to said auxiliary materials to an information terminal wherein said information terminal is made to send back the conditions for the instruction for the change and an acknowledgment or refusal of the change on the basis of the relationship between attributes of the program main body data and the auxiliary materials and user profile has been inserted; and said information terminal having a function of receiving the continuous stream of contents data transmitted from said transmission server section, recording the program main body data and the auxiliary materials received by it, recording the sorting information annexed to said program main body data and said auxiliary materials and transmitting the sorting information annexed to the selected program main body data and auxiliary materials along with terminal ID information. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
