Then, at the next display timing (after 180 seconds), distribution information is displayed in the same manner as described above based on the information described in the next line of the schedule file in FIG. After the display of the distribution information based on the last line of the schedule file is completed, the process returns to the first line and repeats the above operation.
[0044]
By the way, in the information distribution system according to the present embodiment, the list acquisition unit 21 also acquires the interrupt setting file when acquiring the basic setting file. When nothing is described in this interrupt setting file (void), the timer means 24 performs control based on the schedule described in the basic setting file as described above, but as shown in FIG. If a file is specified, interrupt control is performed based on the schedule file "spot.txt".
[0045]
When the information shown in FIG. 3B is described in the schedule file “spot.txt”, the information acquisition unit 22 of the user terminal 2 gives priority to the schedule file described in the basic setting file. An information distribution request is made based on the URL address 31 in the first line of FIG. Subsequent processing is the same as described above, but when the keyword 34 indicating the end of the interruption processing of the schedule file is reached, the timer means 24 returns the processing to the original schedule.
