Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising: a storage control unit configured to store, to a storage medium, music content data, additional data associated with the music content data, and an extraction condition for extracting certain music content data to be transmitted to a terminal device based on the additional data, the extraction condition defining a maximum number of times the certain music content data can be transmitted to the terminal device and a geographical region in which the certain content can be transmitted, each piece of music content data having a corresponding extraction condition; a control unit configured to convert the extraction condition to a format of other extraction conditions previously stored in the storage medium; a communication unit configured to communicate with the terminal device; an extraction unit configured to extract the certain music content data to be transmitted to the terminal device from a plurality of the music content data based on the extraction condition; a detection unit configured to detect that the terminal device is connected to the communication unit; a determination unit configured to determine, when the detection unit detects that the terminal device is connected to the communication unit, whether the terminal device is set as a destination of the music content data based on device identification information received from the terminal device via the communication unit that uniquely identifies the terminal device among other terminal devices, wherein the control unit is further configured to control the communication unit to transfer the certain music content data to the terminal device, when the determination unit determines that the terminal device is set as a destination of the music content data.
