An acquisition unit acquires list data concerning contents and records the acquired list data in a recording medium. A list display unit arranges a plurality of content images adjacent to each other and places them on a screen. As a receiving unit acquires an instruction to select one of the content images in a content list, the list display causes a display of the content list including a selected content image, in a first area of the screen and, at the same time, causes a display of detailed information associated with the selected content image, in a second area of the screen.

Electronic device

A content distribution system includes a content distribution server and a portable game terminal. The content distribution server retains a first license for comprehensively permitting the use of multiple digital contents and issues to the portable game terminal a second license for individually permitting the use of a digital content selected by a user from among the multiple digital contents. The portable game terminal retains the second license and permits the use of the selected digital content if it is within the license period of the second license at the time.

This invention provides nucleic acid sequences for a VEGF receptor promoter, particularly for the Flt-1 promoter, expression vectors and recombinant host cells containing this promoter. It also provides methods for screening for drugs that regulate the transcriptional activity of the VEGF receptor promoter. Methods for endothelial-specific gene expression and treatment of disease, particularly by inhibiting angioigenesis, using novel gene constructs containing the VEGF receptor promoter are also provided. Transgenic animals having heterologous genes linked to the VEGF receptor promoter are also provided.
