摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To serve minor information in a comparatively free form without disturbing the operation of a subscriber by detecting the use state of a transmission line for transmitting main information. SOLUTION: When a terminal equipment 19 is connected with a prescribed IP via a LAN and a network, etc., the CPU 41a of a main control part 41 refers to the output signal of a line monitoring part via a sub-control part 46 and decides the congestion status of the line between the IP and the terminal equipment 19. Since the transfer of main information is not performed when the line is not congested, the CPU 41a decides whether an empty area exists in the buffer secured on a RAM 41c or not. When the empty area exists in the buffer, the CPU 41a performs a transfer request so as to transfer advertisement data to a server via a modem part 53. The server receiving this transfer request transfers the advertisement according to the taste of a subscriber to the terminal equipment 19 of the subscriber performing the transfer request.
