Abstract

Client is connected to a selected program serving site via a communication network. The program serving site includes a database storing plural types of contents having various different characters and can supply a program file defining a sequence of a plurality of contents including those of different characters. The client receives a program file from the program serving site and also receives, from the database of the site, contents specified by the received program file. The program progression can be fast-forwarded or fast-reversed by fast-forwarding or fast-rewinding a currently-reproduced content.
