Abstract

A moving image distribution system for performing load balancing is provided. The system determines communication delay amounts between a user terminal and each of a plurality of moving image distribution servers. The system further determines whether a specified content, for distribution to the user terminal, requires a predetermined type of distribution. When the specified content requires the predetermined type of distribution, the system determines whether processing of the content requires a predetermined type of processing. The system specifies one of the plurality of moving image distribution servers for distributing the specified content to the user terminal based on a first determination of whether the specified content requires the predetermined type of distribution and a second determination of whether the content requires the predetermined type of processing.
