Abstract: Provided are a contents delivery management apparatus and a contents delivery management method capable of appropriately charging users, independent of stability of a network. A contents delivery management apparatus is configured to delete a one-time password checked upon delivery of contents, in conjunction with the delivery of the contents, and to generate charge information to a user only when the deleting process is finished. For this reason, for example, even if a network has communication error such as instantaneous chopping to cause multiple notifications of transmission completion of the contents to the contents delivery management apparatus, multiple generation of charge information can be avoided because the password corresponding to the contents once transmitted to the communication terminal has already been deleted from a password storage. Therefore, an appropriate charge can be imposed to the user, independent of stability of the network.

Abstract: When a communication usage fee of a mobile communication terminal exceed a maximum charge, a mobile communication network side is made to manage a connection destination of the mobile communication terminal. When a mobile communication network receives a connection request message sent from a cell phone, it transmits a phone number of the cell phone to a subscriber information server and acquires usage information thereof. When the usage information is determined to be information indicating that the usage fee of cell phone has already arrived at the maximum charge, the mobile communication network sets maximum arrival information in the connection request message and transmits it to a connection management server. When it is determined that the maximum arrival information is set in the connection request message, the connection management server restricts the connection destination of cell phone to predetermined specific connection destination addresses.
