Claim:
A content data acquiring system comprising: a portable terminal which issues a content data request for content data desired by a user, and receives a desired content data file to reproduce said desired content data from said desired content data file; a first server which is provided on a first network and which can provide first content data files written in a first language, wherein said first server transmits a desired one of said first content data files via said first network in response to said content data request when said content data request is destined to said first server; a second server which is provided on a second network as the Internet and which can provide second content data files written in a HTML (hypertext markup language) language, wherein said first language is different from said HTML language, and said second server transmits a desired one of said second content data files via said second network when said content data request is destined to said second server; and a gateway which is operatively connected with said portable terminal and said first and second servers, and transfers said content data request from said portable terminal to said first or second server based on said content data request, and transfers said desired content data file from said first or second server to said portable terminal; wherein said desired content data file includes an identifier indicating a category of said desired content data file; wherein said content acquiring system further comprises a plurality of peripheral devices respectively allocated with identifiers which are different from each other, and wherein said portable terminal comprises: a storage section which stores relations of one identifier and one peripheral device; and a control section which extracts at least an identifier from said desired content data file, determines whether said extracted at least an identifier is stored in said storage section, and transmits said desired content data file to at least one of said plurality of peripheral devices corresponding to said extracted at least an identifier such that said at least one peripheral device reproduces said desired content data from said desired content data file, when it is determined that said extracted at least an identifier is stored in said storage section.
