Abstract: A toy (10) equivalent to a storage medium containing communication start data and identification data is connected to an intermediate connection device (50) having identification data and connected to a PC (20). The PC (20) reads out the communication start data from the toy (10) and reads out identification data respectively from the toy (10) and the intermediate connection device (50). By a communication program started by the communication start data, the PC (20) establishes connection to a server (30) and transmits the read-out identification data to the server (30). The server identifies distribution data corresponding to a combination of the identification data received, according to the data identification table, and transmits the identified distribution data to the PC (20).

Abstract: To acquire necessary contents data interlocking with contents stored in a toy, a toy 10 stores identification data and communication start data, and has an external connecting unit, the personal computer 20 reads the identification data and the communication start data when the toy 10 is connected with a personal computer 20, the identification data is automatically transmitted to a server 30 through a network 40 on the basis of the communication start data, the server 30 determines whether the transmitted identification data is registered or not, the server 30 transmits contents data to the personal computer 20 when the identification data is registered, and the server 30 transmits registration application data to the personal computer 20 when the identification data is not registered.
