Therefore, in the following, the policy determination shown in step S40 will be described in detail, and the description of the processing in other steps will be omitted.
- FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the details of the policy determination shown in step S40 of FIG.
- a policy is set by the user of the terminal device 7 and stored in advance in the memory 72 as policy information.
- streaming delivery that is currently controlled while monitoring the playback buffer is in operation.
- step S41 the control unit 74 of the terminal device 7 refers to the policy information, and determines whether or not a charge-oriented setting has been made. If the fee-oriented setting is made, the process proceeds to step S42, and if not, the process proceeds to step S45.
- step S42 the control unit 74 determines whether or not the current line usage charge is equal to or less than a predetermined charge Th_cost. If the current line usage fee is equal to or less than the predetermined fee Th_cost, the process proceeds to step S43, and if not, the process proceeds to step S44.
- step S43 the control unit 74 sets the policy determination result to YES (changes to batch download) and completes the process.
- the policy determination result is NO (continuing streaming distribution) in step S44, and the process is completed.
- step S45 the control unit 74 refers to the policy information and determines whether or not the setting that emphasizes the communication speed has been made. If speed-oriented setting is made, the process proceeds to step S46, and if not, the process proceeds to step S49.

Therefore, the content quality determination shown in step S50 will be described in detail below, and the description of the processing in the other steps will be omitted.
- FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining details of the content quality determination process shown in step S50 of FIG.
- the control unit 74 of the terminal device 7 acquires information regarding the number of times the content requested by the user in the entire network is obtained, and determines whether the number of times of reproduction is greater than a predetermined number Th_play.
- a server that collects information about the number of times of reproduction from each edge server is provided, and the terminal device 7 may acquire the information from this server via the Internet 2. If the number of reproductions is greater than the predetermined number Th_play, the process proceeds to step S52; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S55.
- step S52 the control unit 74 determines whether or not the number of evaluation flags attached by the other user to the content requested by the user is greater than a predetermined number Th_eva.
- the evaluation flag attached to the content by another user is a flag attached when another user who has viewed the content via the Internet 2 evaluates the content, for example, A server that collects from the edge server is provided, and the terminal device 7 may acquire information from this server via the Internet 2. If the number of evaluation flags is greater than the predetermined number Th_eva, the process proceeds to step S53, and if not, the process proceeds to step S55.
- step S53 when the content requested by the user is reproduced by another user, the control unit 74 acquires information regarding the number of times reproduction is stopped halfway, and whether or not the number is smaller than a predetermined number Th_stop. Determine whether.
- a server that collects information on the number of stops from each edge server is provided, and the terminal device 7 may acquire information from this server via the Internet 2. If the number of times playback has been stopped is smaller than the predetermined number Th_stop, the process proceeds to step S54; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S55.
- step S54 the control unit 74 sets the content quality determination result to YES and completes the process.
- step S55 the control unit 74 sets the content quality determination result to NO and completes the process.
- step S25 in FIG. If the result of the content quality determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S25 in FIG. On the other hand, if the result of the content quality determination is NO, the current state is maintained after step S50 in FIG. 10, that is, the terminal device 7 performs streaming delivery from the edge server 4 via the base station 5 in the low frequency band. Will continue to be received.
- the content quality determination result is set to YES and the subsequent processing, that is, the transmission of the distribution control change request is performed only when it is considered that there is a low possibility that the reproduction will be stopped halfway when the user views.
- the terminal device 7 does not transmit a distribution control change request. For this reason, it is possible to avoid a situation in which useless load is applied to the wireless network by continuing the streaming delivery for the content that the user may stop viewing on the way.
- the content quality determination result may be YES. Alternatively, if a plurality of qualities are YES, the content quality determination result may be set to YES.
- the present invention is a terminal device that receives content cache data from an edge server via a base station, and the edge server received from the edge server when content playback is requested.
- An edge determination unit that determines whether or not the edge server has the cache data of the content based on information on the cache data that the base station has, and when the edge server has the cache data of the content, the base station has a high speed or a large capacity
- a communication capacity determination unit that determines whether or not communication can be performed and a method for controlling the distribution of content cache data to an edge server when the base station can perform high-speed or large-capacity communication
- a distribution control change request unit that transmits a change request.
- the terminal device when the cache data of the content requested by the user in the terminal device is in the edge server, the terminal device requests distribution to the edge server.
- content cache data is distributed from the edge server to the terminal device, not from the original server having the original content data, so that a wired network (such as the Internet) between the edge server and the original server is distributed.
- the traffic in the wired network can be concentrated on the edge server without increasing the load, and the quality of the content distributed to the terminal device can be maintained.
- the terminal device When distributing content cache data, if the terminal device communicates with the edge server via a low-frequency base station, the content cache data is acquired by streaming distribution that does not place a load on the line. To do. On the other hand, if the terminal device increases the priority of communication with the base station in the high frequency band and can establish a connection with the base station in the high frequency band, the distribution method is changed from streaming distribution to batch download distribution. The distribution control change request is transmitted to the edge server. Thereby, an appropriate distribution method can be selected according to the current wireless communication environment of the terminal device.
- the terminal device requests batch download distribution that places a load on the network only when communication is performed via a base station in a high frequency band, that is, when an environment for high-speed and large-capacity communication is prepared. Therefore, user traffic in a wireless network including a terminal device, a low frequency band base station, and a high frequency band base station can be concentrated in the high frequency band. Thereby, the traffic accommodation ratio between the base station in the low frequency band and the base station in the high frequency band can be improved.
