Abstract: An information providing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a terminal information acquiring unit, a store information acquiring unit, and a sending unit. The terminal information acquiring unit acquires information on purchase planned products which is sent from a wireless terminal existing in a store in which a wireless LAN communication apparatus is installed, from the wireless LAN communication apparatus. The store information acquiring unit acquires information on sales products corresponding to the information on the purchase planned products which is acquired by the terminal information acquiring unit, from a store information storage unit which stores pieces of information on the sales products in the store. The sending unit sends the information on the sales products which is acquired by the store information acquiring unit to the wireless terminal through the wireless LAN communication apparatus.

Abstract: A template file defines a video material data, a first still picture material data, a second still picture material data and text data, and a display area for each of the material data. A presentation file defines the template file and a correlation between each of the display areas and each material data. Based on the template file and the presentation file, an information display device combines and displays as a program the video material data, the first still picture material data, the second still picture material data, and the text data in their respective display areas.

Abstract: A communication terminal apparatus includes a situation change detecting unit that detects a change in external situation and transmits an external situation change detection signal, and a control unit that receives the external situation change detection signal, thereby reads out a predetermined function and/or setting stored in a storing unit, and changes the functions and/or setting.

Abstract: An information delivery and display system includes one or more information display devices that play display information, and a monitoring/control server that sends information to the information display device when the information display device carries out polling at predetermined time intervals. The monitoring/control server includes a control instruction unit that creates control instruction information to change a polling interval of the information display device and that sends the created control instruction information to the information display device when the information display device carries out polling.

Abstract: The file creating processing unit creates at least one material data and at least one control information file to display the material data in a presentation package storage folder corresponding to a presentation pack. When a package creating processing unit receives a delivery designation, the package creating processing unit creates at least one package from all files in the presentation package storage folder to satisfy a predetermined condition and delivers presentation packs in units of packages to an information display device through a data distribution server.

Abstract: An information creating device that creates a control information file to play back and display a plurality of different programs includes a schedule creating unit that creates as a control information file a schedule file to successively play back and display the plurality of the programs one by one, and a menu creating unit that creates as a control information file a menu file to select one program from the plurality of programs and to play back and display the selected program. The schedule creating unit and the menu creating unit create the schedule file and the menu file such that at least part of the programs is shared mutually between the two files.
