<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a user to obtain a coupon which is available in an area where the user frequently purchases articles, even without registering a coupon distribution desired area from the user to a coupon distribution server. <P>SOLUTION: When an owner of a mobile terminal 3-1 purchases an article in a shop in which a shop terminal 2-1 is installed, the shop terminal 2-1 transmits to a coupon distribution server 1 a terminal ID read from the mobile terminal 3-1 and shop information containing a shop ID specific for the shop in which the terminal 2-1 per se is installed. The coupon distribution server 1 comprises a purchase history information storage section which records therein a shop ID of a shop where an owner of a mobile terminal purchased an article, in association with a terminal ID. When shop information is sent, the coupon distribution server 1 updates the purchase history information storage section, determines an area where the owner of the mobile terminal 3-1 frequently purchases articles on the basis of contents in the purchase history information storage section, and transmits to the mobile terminal 3-1 coupon information of shops being present within that area. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
