A content providing device, content providing method, program storage
media, content providing system and content reservation control method
are disclosed. Many kinds of contents to be provided in a time schedule
frame matching the time demanded are sequentially provided to a client PC
4 based on a providing schedule set up to provide plural kinds of
contents in each time schedule frame one by one, which keeps a client
interested. A plurality of user PCs 2 share the exclusive storage area in
the content server 39 and thus contents can be supplied to many and
unspecific persons who have accessed. When the number of contents to be
provided simultaneously at a desired time on the providing schedule has
reached the upper value, reservations are controlled, thereby preventing
the lowering of content transferring speed and ensuring a speedy
provision.
