Abstract: A memory unit stores a plurality of transmission destinations. A control unit determines an order of priority of transmission destinations based on states of the plurality of transmission destinations that are stored by the memory unit, and then, upon receiving predetermined input, originates a call to the transmission destination having the highest order of priority of transmission destinations that was determined.

Abstract: A file of menu data is transmitted from a providing apparatus to a storing apparatus via a transfer apparatus. The transfer apparatus acquires a list of files stored in the storing apparatus and transmits the list to the providing apparatus. The providing apparatus, based on the list, selects content to be stored in the storing apparatus.

Abstract: An information transfer apparatus of the present invention is an information transfer apparatus including a network interface connected to a server that distributes data, via a network, and a USB interface connected to an information presentation apparatus that presents the data, the information transfer apparatus transferring the data distributed from the server to the information presentation apparatus; and the information transfer apparatus includes: a switch that enables or disables connection with the information presentation apparatus via the USB interface; and a control section that judges whether or not the data distributed from the server has been updated, enables connection with the information presentation apparatus by the switch to transfer the data to the information presentation apparatus only upon judging that the data has been updated, and, after transferring the data, disables the connection with the information presentation apparatus by the switch.
