Information distribution system and method.

摘要

An information distribution system provided with the instant messaging functions including distribution of advertisements and news. When receiving an initial signal (31) associated with a connection request from a subscriber in a terminal group (20A), a main server (11) sends the current IP address information used by the terminal group (20A) to a terminal group (20B). Thereafter the two terminal groups (20A, 20B) exchange messages directly by message signals (32). The main server (11) analyzes the attributes of the subscribers of the terminal groups (20A, 20B) and distributes appropriate ones of stored advertisements to the terminal groups (20A, 20B) respectively.
