When an information distribution server (2) starts to distribute information to an information terminal (1) and receives a request (RQ) from the information terminal (1) to switch the destination of the information, the information distribution server (2) switches the destination from the information terminal (1) to destination equipment (3) and distributes the information to the destination equipment (3). When distribution is started and the information terminal (1) determines that it has a self state (e.g., an information processing capability, a size of memory available for storing information, and the like) corresponding to a state disallowing information to be received, the information terminal (1) transmits the request (RQ) to the information distribution server (2). Thus by transmitting the request (RQ) the information terminal (1) can readily switch the destination of the information from the information terminal (1) to the destination equipment (3). The information distribution server (2) can be released from making a decision as to whether a destination should be switched. Information can be distributed rapidly.
