Abstract: Each server of a cluster system is classified into a main server candidate server group capable of operating a specific task, a sub-server candidate server group capable of operating the specific task and a back up task, and an out of candidate server group which is excluded from operating the specific task and the back up task. Each server in the main candidate server group presents public relations information necessary for an election judgment of the main server to all servers and runs as a candidate at a boot time and, at the same time, compares this public relations information to that of other servers. When a server is determined to not be an adequate candidate, the server's presentation of public relations is stopped and the server's candidacy is withdrawn.

Abstract: A poster with an RF IC tag is adhered to a poster adhering unit. ID information of the poster is read from the RF IC tag with an RF IC tag reader and sent to a control device. By using this tag ID information, the control device acquires detailed information on each of advertisement contents of the poster adhered to the poster adhering unit, from a contents server. As a user points out a position of the advertisement contents to which the user paid attention, the control device detects the pointed position from an output of ultrasonic sensors, and provides the user with the detailed information by using a display and a speaker in a contents reproducing unit.
