<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide more efficient information distribution to a user by allowing an information distribution server to select whether it starts immediate information distribution or it is guided to a hot spot provided with high-speed channels by taking into account the capacity of distribution information when the information distribution server distributes information to the wireless terminal. <P>SOLUTION: When the information distribution server 1 distributes information via a communication network in response to an information distribution request from a wireless terminal 9 and the size of information to be distributed is smaller than a prescribed size, the information distribution server 1 directly transmits the information to the wireless terminal 9. When the size of the information to be distributed has the prescribed size or over, the information distribution server 1 transmits a map of the hot spot where high speed wireless channels 6, 10 are installed to the wireless terminal 9 to introduce the user to the position of the hot spot so that the wireless terminal 9 can receive the information through the high speed wireless channels 6, 10, thereby making the reception of information available at the hot spot and allowing the user to save the communication charge and the communication time. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
