主权项

1. A content distribution system that distributes at least one piece of content to at least one electronic device, the system comprising a positional information acquisition unit, a candidate selection unit, and a content distribution unit,
wherein the content is intended to notify a user of the electronic device about offering of a specified service, and at least a place where the service is offered and a time limit for the service are associated with the content, wherein the positional information acquisition unit acquires, from each electronic device, positional information in a plurality of pieces in chronological order, by which a position of the electronic device is identifiable, wherein, in a case where a travel time required to move from a position specified by the latest positional information of each electronic device acquired by the positional information acquisition unit to the place where the service is offered corresponding to the content is assumed as an estimated travel time, the candidate selection unit selects, as a distribution candidate for the content, the electronic device in which a time after elapse of the estimated travel time from a current time is before the time limit corresponding to the content, and wherein the content distribution unit distributes the content to the electronic device selected for the content by the candidate selection unit.
