Abstract: A determination method according to the present application comprises predicting, based on information related to a predetermined ad spot that is displayed on a terminal device, amount-of-money information that is related to a billing amount billed to a first type advertisement distribution server, which has a predetermined relationship with content that includes the ad spot, when a first advertisement distributed by the first type advertisement distribution server is displayed on the ad spot, requesting, distribution of an advertisement from a second type advertisement distribution server, and determining, when the second advertisement has been acquired from the second type advertisement distribution server, to display the second advertisement on the ad spot and determines, when the second advertisement has not been acquired from the second type advertisement distribution server, to request the first advertisement as the advertisement to be displayed on the ad spot from the first type advertisement distribut

Abstract: A determination method according to the present application comprises acquiring a first advertisement from a first type advertisement distribution server that has a predetermined relationship with content that includes a predetermined ad spot displayed on a terminal device, requesting, by sending amount-of-money information that is based on a condition related to the first type advertisement distribution server, distribution of an advertisement from a second type advertisement distribution server, and determining, when the second advertisement has been acquired from the second type advertisement distribution server, to display the second advertisement on the ad spot and determines, when the second advertisement has not been acquired from the second type advertisement distribution server, to display the first advertisement on the ad spot.

Abstract: An advertisement delivery apparatus according to the present application includes a receiving unit, a classifying unit, and a determining unit. The receiving unit receives a delivery request for a plurality of advertisements to be delivered to a terminal device. The classifying unit classifies the advertisements for which the delivery request is received by the receiving unit into a plurality of groups, based on a predetermined condition. The determining unit determines the advertisements to be delivered, for each of the groups classified by the classifying unit.

Abstract: A transferring device according to the present invention includes a receiving unit, a generating unit, and a transferring unit. The receiving unit receives, from a terminal device, an access request including identification information for identifying content that the terminal devices requests to access. The generating unit generates signature information from the identification information received by the receiving unit using a certain algorithm. The transferring unit instructs the terminal device to transmit an access request including the signature information to a different transferring device judging the validity of the transferring device based on the algorithm and the signature information.

Abstract: A terminal device includes an input receiving unit and a screen control unit. The input receiving unit receives input operation for inputting arbitrary information in an input field contained in an input screen. The screen control unit displays the input screen, as a confirmation screen, in which the input field is set to an uneditable state, when the information input in the input field through the input operation satisfies an input requirement of the input field.

Abstract: An advertising charge adjusting device is configured to set a minimum delivery price which determines a lower limit of a bid price. The advertising charge adjusting device includes a minimum delivery price calculating unit configured to calculate the minimum delivery price for each targeting element, based on bid information for using a targeting function and bid information for not using the targeting function, pieces of bid information being submitted by a plurality of advertisers.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composition for the delivery of nucleic acid to target cells or tissues, which comprises a polycationically charged polymer as a carrier of nucleic acid. The polycationically charged polymer is a polymer which may comprise a charged polymer segment having a main chain based on poly(amino acid), polysaccharide, polyester, polyether, polyurethane or vinyl polymer and having, as a side chain, a group of formula —NH—(CH2)a—(NH(CH2)2)e—NH2 (wherein a and e independently denote an integer of 1 to 5) which is connected to the main chain either directly or via a linker. The disclosed composition has low toxicity, and has a high efficiency in introducing nucleic acid into cells.
