Abstract: The present invention is associated with an information processing apparatus and a program adapted to provide content to a terminal via a server without otherwise notifying the terminal thereof. A personal computer 1 transmits an image taken by a CCD video camera 33 for example to a server 6 along with the address of a terminal 6, which allows the personal computer 1 to request the server 5 for providing the transmitted image to the terminal 6. In response to the request from the personal computer 1, the server 5 provides the image supplied from the personal computer 1 to the terminal 6.
