Abstract
A content distribution system includes a terminal device, and a content distribution server connectable to the terminal device. The content distribution server includes a capability information obtaining unit to obtain capability information of the terminal device that requests a target content; an element extraction unit to obtain the requested target content and to extract a sub-content element composing the target content; a comparison unit to identify a sub-content element that can be used at the terminal device based on the capability information, and to compare the identified sub-content element based on the capability information and the extracted sub-content element to determine which sub-content element can be used at the terminal device; an output determination unit to determine whether separation of the target content is required to distribute the sub-content element to the terminal device; and a separating unit to separate the target content into sub-content element if separation is required.
