The invention discloses a media 
distribution system and method for an intelligent terminal, and relates to the field of media distribution. The 
system comprises the intelligent terminal, a management 
server and a 
content server, wherein the intelligent terminal comprises a platform interaction module, a download management module and a media play module; the management 
server comprises an 
authentication distribution module, a user 
database, a media configuration 
database and a log 
database; each message sent to the management 
server by the intelligent terminal at least carries a hardware 
unique identifier corresponding to an intelligent terminal device, a user name or a 
password; and the 
content server stores to-be-downloaded resources. According to the media 
distribution system and method, the manpower cost of maintenance can be reduced, the demand on the network bandwidth and the requirement on the server performance can be lowered, the bandwidth 
bottleneck caused by concurrent access can be avoided, the 
media content can be obtained in time, and the playing quality is relatively high; and the advertisement deployment cost can be reduced, so that the media 
distribution system and method can be widely applied to places such as shopping malls, cinemas, guesthouses, hotels, office buildings and the like.
