A content delivery request to the user (step S
1). The content delivery request includes the content to be delivered, delivery conditions for delivering the content, and a provider ID for identifying the information provider 2. The delivery conditions here are profile information, for example,
Specify conditions such as "user whose resident municipality is Musashino City". It should be noted that the post-office box ID may be directly specified as the delivery condition.

Next, the content delivery request is received by the content registration device 41. In response,
The content registration device 41 reads out the contents of the service category information management file 48 (step S2), and requests the service provider to input the service category by transmitting the contents as a service category list to the information provider 2 who has requested the delivery (step S2). S3). The service category list referred to here is a list for classifying provided contents. FIG. 5 shows an example of the service category list. As shown in FIG. 5, the service category list is divided into a major category and a minor category. In this example,
"Entertainment" and "Political Economy" are major categories, "Music" and "Entertainment" are minor categories that further categorize "Entertainment", and "Japanese Economy" is a minor category that further categorizes "Political Economy" . This classification may be further subdivided into a hierarchical structure.

Next, the information provider 2 selects a service category to which the content requested to be delivered belongs from the service category list, and
Is notified (step S4). In response to this, the content registration device 41 registers the content requested to be delivered, the delivery conditions, the provider ID, and the service category specified by the information provider 2 in the content management file 42 (step S5). Then, the content registration device 41
Sends a content delivery request to the content delivery device 43 (step S6). This content delivery request includes information for identifying the content in the content management file 42, delivery conditions, a provider ID, and a service category.

In response to this, the content delivery device 43
Searches the delivery destination with reference to the profile information management file 44 based on the delivery conditions received from the content registration device 41 (step S7), and extracts the electronic post-office box 19 owned by the user that matches the delivery conditions. I do.
The result obtained here is the post office box ID of the electronic post office box 19 owned by the user 3 that matches the delivery conditions.

Further, the content delivery device 43 refers to the delivery refusal information management file 46 (step S).
8) It is determined whether or not delivery refusal is set in the extracted electronic post-office box 19 of the user, and only the electronic post-office box 19 in which the delivery refusal information is not set is extracted. At this point, since the delivery refusal information has not been set, all the electronic post-office boxes 19 extracted based on the delivery conditions are extracted.

Next, the content delivery device 43 reads the content from the content management file 42 and delivers it to the electronic post office box 19 having the post office box ID obtained as a result of the extraction (step S9). The content delivered here includes a delivery condition, a provider ID, and a service category. Then, the delivered content is referred to by the user 3 (step S10). However,
When delivery refusal information described later is set in the delivery refusal information management file 46, delivery is restricted based on the delivery refusal information.

Next, an operation in which the user 3 sets the delivery refusal will be described. The user 3 confirms the content of the content delivered to the electronic post-office box 19, and if the user wishes to deliver even at the next delivery, waits for the next delivery without doing anything. On the other hand, if the delivered content is of no interest and the user wants to refuse delivery at the next delivery, the user 3 connects the terminal owned by the user 3 to the electronic information delivery system 1. Then, it requests the delivery refusal information registration device 47 to register delivery refusal information. This profile information registration request includes the delivery refusal information of the user 3. Here, the delivery refusal information is information set based on “delivery conditions”, “service category”, and “provider ID” in order to reject content delivery.

In response to the registration request, the delivery refusal information registration device 47 accepts the registration request and registers the delivery refusal information included in the registration request in the delivery refusal information management file 46.

In this example, the user 3 who owns the electronic post-office box 19 whose post-office box ID is “000001” has a content whose delivery condition is specified as “Municipality is Musashino City” and a content whose “service category is music”. , Means that the delivery of the content whose “provider ID is 10000” is refused. This delivery refusal information is registered for each user 3, and the user 3 sets by referring to "delivery condition", "service category", and "provider ID" given to the delivered content.

As described above, if the user 3 sets the delivery refusal information in the delivery refusal information management file 46 based on the information given to the delivered content, in step S8 shown in FIG. The set delivery refusal information is referred to, and the delivery of the content to be delivered is restricted. As a result, it is possible to prevent uninteresting contents from being delivered again.

It should be noted that a plurality of delivery conditions can be specified, and "OR (or)",
The setting of “logical product (and)” and “negation (not)” may be made possible. For example, "users whose address prefecture meets" Tokyo "or" Osaka Prefecture "" or "users whose gender is" male "and whose age is" 20 "or more" may be specified. I do.

The delivery refusal information recorded in the delivery refusal information management file 46 by the delivery refusal information registration device 47 is also "OR (or)", "AND (and)", and "NOT (not)". )) May be set. For example, the setting is made such as "" Municipality is Musashino City "and" Provider ID is not 10000 ". By doing so, only the specific content delivery of the specific information provider is delivered. It is possible to refuse or to refuse delivery of contents from all information providers except for a specific information provider.
Further, in the above description, the operation in which the provider specifies the delivery condition regarding the profile and performs the delivery is described, but the provider directly specifies the ID of the user and performs the delivery based on this ID. However, if the user whose ID is to be delivered with reference to the delivery refusal information has set the delivery refusal of this provider, the delivery may not be performed.

Further, the user may refer to the service category information management file 48 and set the delivery refusal information in advance when the content delivery is not performed. Further, the service category information management file 48 shown in FIG. 2 may be provided for each provider. At this time, the service category information management files 48 are provided for each provider. By doing so, each provider can create its own category list.
