Abstract: It is ensured that advertising information can be distributed and advertising effectiveness can be validated without increasing any burden on the store side. A distribution server 1 gives an advertisement ID and advertisement position information to the advertising information to distribute it to a user portable terminal 3. The user portable terminal 3 automatically judges whether or not a user visits the store on the basis of terminal position information detected by a sensor 32 and the advertisement position information given to the advertising information. When judging that the user has visited the store, the user portable terminal 3 extracts the user ID and the advertisement ID given to the advertising information and transmits them to an effectiveness validation server 2.

Abstract: The object is to enable suppression of an excessive number of changes in assignment of a server in charge of communication in response to movement of a terminal. A position-information acquisition unit in a computer acquires information on the position of a mobile terminal as a candidate for a destination of information provision. Then, a zone determination unit determines whether or not the mobile terminal is in a coverage zone or a margin zone on the basis of the information on the position. An information provision unit starts the information provision to the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal enters the coverage zone, and ends the information provision to the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal goes out of the margin zone.
