Server reservation method, reservation control apparatus and program storage medium
First Claim
1. A digital video camera, comprising:
- means for capturing an electronic representation of an image;
means for displaying the image captured by the capturing means;
means for inputting information;
means for connecting and pivoting the means for displaying with respect to the means for inputting, the means for displaying having an open position and a closed position with respect to the means for inputting, the means for displaying and the means for inputting being inaccessible and not visible when in the closed position;
compressing means for converting the electronic representation of the image into a compressed image;
a modem for encoding the compressed image into a form suitable for transmission; and
a transmitter for transmitting the encoded compressed image to a receiving station, wherein the transmission is carried out in real time and the means for capturing captures images when the means for displaying is in the closed position, and wherein the receiving station receives the encoded compressed image and sends the encoded compressed image to an electronic media server for storage in near real time, the electronic media server being accessed via the Internet.

Abstract
To allow many users to efficiently use the functions of a processing server that performs predetermined processing, via a network and also to prevent interference by illegal users. In a content supply system, in order to use a streaming server to perform a live distribution, a user PC to be used makes a reservation for a time zone, etc. to a server reservation control center. When the reservation is accepted, the user PC sends a reconfirmation (reconfirmation of the reservation) to the server reservation control center by six hours before the distribution start time according to the reservation. If the reconfirmation is not made by six hours before, the server reservation control center cancels the reservation. On the other hand, if the reconfirmation is made by six hours before, the server reservation control center confirms the reservation and carries out billing processing.
