ABSTRACT:
An online distribution system by which the time required for a downloading procedure in a shop can be performed in a short time by a download terminal connected to a search server through a data distribution server which is connectable to a personal terminal. The search server stores a plurality of titles of distribution information, searches the titles for a title designated for subscription from the personal terminal, and stores the searched out title and identification information transmitted from the personal terminal. The download terminal acquires identification information inputted from the outside, reads out, based on the acquired identification information, the title which corresponds to the identification information from the search server, reads out the distribution information corresponding to the read out title from the data distribution server, and records the read out distribution information onto a recording medium.
