Abstract:
The present invention relates to a content-providing system, information-processing apparatus, information-processing methods and programs which are capable of keeping up with changes in content value. A license server 221 transmits a utilization condition and a price table to a terminal 211. The terminal 211 has set contents stored in advance in a database 212. In an offline environment, the terminal 211 is capable of utilizing desired contents by using an electronic point count. The terminal 211 transmits information on contents used by the terminal 211 to the license server 221. The license server 221 collects a history of utilizations of contents in the terminal 211, extracts apparatus favorite contents for the terminal 211 from a database and properly transmits the favorite contents as well as price data reflecting changes in price to the terminal 211. The present invention is thus suitable for a system for providing contents.
