Abstract
To allow many users to efficiently use the functions of a processing server that performs predetermined processing, via a network and also to prevent interference by illegal users. In a content supply system, in order to use a streaming server to perform a live distribution, a user PC to be used makes a reservation for a time zone, etc. to a server reservation control center. When the reservation is accepted, the user PC sends a reconfirmation (reconfirmation of the reservation) to the server reservation control center by six hours before the distribution start time according to the reservation. If the reconfirmation is not made by six hours before, the server reservation control center cancels the reservation. On the other hand, if the reconfirmation is made by six hours before, the server reservation control center confirms the reservation and carries out billing processing.
