摘要

A central apparatus capable of communicating with a plurality of terminal apparatuses through a relay apparatus transmits to the terminal apparatus a browsing program for browsing provision information. The terminal apparatus receiving the browsing program accepts a start instruction of the browsing program and transmits a start notice for notifying that the browsing program is started according to the accepted start instruction. The central apparatus reads the provision information from a database in response to the received start notice, and transmits the read provision information to the terminal apparatus. Thus, it is possible to provide information having high value added only in a transmitted place at the position, and there is no fear to force those who find no value added in the information to receive unnecessary information.
