Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de sortie de contenu qui récupère efficacement des contenus utiles parmi une grande quantité de contenus mémorisés dans un dispositif serveur, etc. sur un réseau et pour utiliser les contenus récupérés. L'invention concerne spécifiquement un système de sortie de contenu, la communication d'informations étant effectuée entre un dispositif terminal (101) et le dispositif serveur (201) par l'intermédiaire du réseau. Lorsqu'un contenu mémorisé dans une première unité de mémorisation de contenus (104) du dispositif terminal (101) est délivré, d'autres contenus relatifs au contenu sont récupérés parmi les contenus mémorisés dans une seconde unité de mémorisation de contenus (205) du dispositif serveur (201) et les contenus récupérés sont délivrés, ensemble, du côté du dispositif terminal (101). Ainsi, les opérations de l'utilisateur pour naviguer dans une grande quantité de contenus mémorisés dans la seconde unité de mémorisation de contenus (205) du dispositif serveur (201) et sélectionner des contenus peuvent être éliminées.
