Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a technique for detecting a user's position and distributing information to a user terminal carried by the user, there is a system for detecting a user's position using a GPS. When using GPS, it is assumed that the user is outdoors. In addition, since the GPS has, in principle, only a position detection function, a system based on the GPS is provided with another means for identifying a user.
[0003]
On the other hand, as a system having a user position detecting function and a user identifying function, an information providing system using PDC or PHS has been proposed. In the case of using PDC, the position detection accuracy is 1 km or more, and in the case of PHS, the position detection accuracy is 100 m or more.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Thus, there is a limitation that GPS cannot be used indoors. In addition, PDC and PHS have a limitation that the reception target area is wide. Therefore, it is difficult for these conventional information distribution services to identify the position of the user at the spot level regardless of whether the information is indoors or outdoors. As a result, information within a narrow range is given to the user. The problem is that spot information cannot be provided.
[0005]
Further, in the case of PDC and PHS, there is a restriction on the receiving speed, so that there is a problem of feasibility and receiving cost in a situation where a moving image such as a promotion video is distributed.

[0025]
The information distribution system of the present embodiment includes a wireless LAN system 10. The wireless LAN system 10 has one or more wireless LAN base stations 2 that establish a wireless link with the wireless LAN terminal 1 in the cover area 20 and connect the wireless LAN terminal 1 that has established the wireless link to a network. The authentication server 3 is installed in the station building of the company of the wireless LAN system 10, for example, in a data center or the like. The authentication server 3 is connected to a number of wireless LAN base stations 2 and authenticates authentication data transmitted from the wireless LAN base station 2 (the user of the wireless LAN terminal 1 connected to the wireless LAN base station 2 is authenticated). Check if you are a user). The wireless LAN base station 2 is installed in, for example, a restaurant district, a shopping district, an individual restaurant, or an individual store. The wireless LAN terminal 1 is carried by an individual (user) who visits a restaurant street, a shopping street, an individual restaurant, or an individual store, for example. The network to which the wireless LAN system 10 is connected includes the Internet, an intranet, and the like.
[0026]
The information distribution system includes a management server 45 that acquires, from the wireless LAN system 10, terminal identification information of the wireless LAN terminal 1 of the authenticated user who has been confirmed to be a valid user and authentication data of the authenticated user. The information distribution system further includes a service aggregation server 6 for collecting and accumulating provided information associated with each piece of position information. The provided information includes services such as general information and privilege information for users from restaurants and shops.
[0027]
The management server 45 generates location information from the location of the wireless LAN base station 2 to which the authenticated user's wireless LAN terminal 1 is connected, generates personal information from the authentication data, and associates the authentication information with the authenticated user. The position information and the personal information thus obtained are transmitted to the service aggregation server 6. The personal information includes user identification information, user attribute information, user history information, and the like.
[0028]
The service aggregation server 6 provides, based on the position information and the personal information related to the authenticated user transmitted from the management server 45, the provided information related to the authenticated user from the collected and accumulated provided information. Is transmitted to the user terminal 1 or 9 of the authenticated user.

It is managed by the attribute / history management server 5.
[0059]
The service aggregation server 6 periodically receives, collects, and updates the provided information from the service providing server 8 (sequence (1)).
[0060]
The identification information managed by the personal identification / attribute / history server 5 includes, for example, information that can identify an individual such as a contractor number, and the attribute information includes gender, age, hometown, hobby, and the like as described above. Includes occupations. Also, the personal history information includes the number of times the individual has come to the place, the purchase history, and the like, in addition to the URL and file name that have already been transmitted to the individual.
[0061]
Regarding the purchase history, the service aggregation server 6 or the personal identification / attribute / history management server 5 provides personal information of a specific individual to the service providing server 7 (that is, a store or the like) and provides the service. By acquiring the purchase information of a specific individual from the server 7, it is finally managed by the personal identification / attribute / history server 5. The purchase history has a different category from the personal attribute information. The attribute information is basically the same and the data is not updated frequently, but the history information is always updated as data. This history information is significant information as discounts, coupon issuance, and market information according to purchase results.
[0062]
The information managed by the service aggregation server 6 includes, for example, a URL or an HTTP file (store advertisement, etc.), image data, coupons, and the like.
[0063]
According to the present embodiment, it is possible to transmit information that is significant for an individual to the wireless LAN terminal 1 owned by the individual based on the current position of the individual, the personal attribute information, and the history information. become.
