Abstract
A distributor's apparatus generates distribution information including basic distribution information and extended distribution information which sets the correspondence between a plurality of output modes and a plurality of operating states of a predetermined application program in a recipient's apparatus and transmits the distribution information to the recipient's apparatus via a network. The recipient's apparatus receives the distribution information and detects the operating state of its own. The recipient's apparatus determines the output mode based on the detected operating state and the extended distribution information and outputs the distribution information in accordance with the determined output mode.
