ABSTRACT:
There is provided an AV server capable of internally establishing a logical connection and appropriately managing connection with a plurality of client devices even when a physical connection is firstly requested from a client device. The AV server includes a communication unit which communicates with the client device via a communication channel; a protocol processing unit which performs processes including retrieval of a UPnP AV-compliant device and capability exchange based on the logical connection; a content data accumulation unit which accumulates content data such as a recorded TV program, moving image data and still image data therein; a content data distribution unit which distributes the content data accumulated in the content data accumulation unit; and a connection management unit which manages HTTP connection session information based on the physical connection for distributing the content data.
