- the authorized user ID 11 at that time is generated by encrypting store-specific information unique to the store T in the server 4.
- the store T stores the content 10 in the SD card 6 ′ and sells it.
- the user 2 ′ purchases this SD card 6 ′ and attaches it to the user terminal 3 ′ he / she owns.
- the processing from step 50 shown in FIG. 5 is performed.
- the authorized user ID with key 11 is changed to the authorized user ID with new key corresponding to the UID 36 'of the user terminal 3'.
- the user 2 ′ copies the content 10 and the key-permitted user ID 11 held in the distribution information storage unit 33 ′ to the SD card 6, Distribute to 2.
- the process from when the user 2 acquires the SD card 6 until the key-permitted permitted user ID 11 is changed to the new permitted user ID corresponding to the UID 36a of the user terminal 3 is as described above. In this way, when the user 2 distributes the content 10 to other users, the same processing as when the user 2 ′ distributes to the user 2 is performed.
- the present invention is not limited to the above-described form and may be implemented in various forms.
- permission / non-permission may be determined by directly comparing the permitted user ID 11 and the terminal specific information 36a in step S52 without using the permission information 33a.
- step S146 in the ID changing process is not necessary.
- the content 10 may be used while being stored in the SD card 6 without being copied to the distribution information storage unit 33 built in the user terminal 30.
- the SD card 6 functions as a content storage unit, and the authorized user ID 11 with a key in the SD card 6 is changed to an authorized user ID with a new key.
- the permission information 33a is generated in the distribution information storage unit 33.
- the content 10 stored in the SD card 6 ′ of the purchaser user 2 ′ is acquired from the user 2 ′ in the case of acquiring the SD card 6 ′ as it is, and the SD card 6 ′.
- the content 10 is copied to another SD card 6 via a personal computer.
- the content 10 may be distributed by a recording medium other than an SD card such as an MD or a CD-ROM, or may be directly copied between the user terminals 3 and 3 ′.
- the user specifying information only needs to specify a user.
- the user terminal 3 is a mobile phone, it may be information recorded on a SIM card or UIM card.
- the game software may be stored in advance in the user terminal 3 by downloading from a predetermined server, and the content 10 distributed by the SD card 6 may be large-capacity data such as images and music used in the game software.
- the permission information 33a is determined when the game is started.
- One content may be distributed in the content distribution system.
- the terminal unique information 36a unique to the user terminal 3 as information specifying the user 2
- user identification information uniquely given to the user 2 may be used.
- the distribution information storage part 33 may be provided for each user identification information, and even the same user terminal 3 may be configured to be processed for each user.
