Content system, content terminal, reference server, content program, and reference program

摘要

A content terminal is storing management information that indicates the management status of a content. When some change occurs in the management status of the content, the content terminal updates the management information in its storage to meet the change, and notifies the updated details to a reference server. The reference server is the one storing reference information, which carries the same types of details as the management information. When receiving the updated details of the management information from the content terminal, the reference server uses thus notified updated details to update the reference information of a user. Because the management information and the reference information are correlated with each other, the user can see the details of the management information in the reference site using the content terminal. In such a manner, the user can refer to and update the details of the management information without directly accessing the control terminal.
