FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram of the first embodiment, FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram of the first embodiment, FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram of the second embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram of the third embodiment.

  First, the basic configuration and function of the information distribution system in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The web user terminal 3 is a terminal used by the user. The user uses the Web user terminal 3 to connect to the information network 1 via the information distribution device 2, perform mail communication or blog communication, and use the Web information of the service provider (service provider device (SP)) 4. Yes. The service provider 4 provides a blog.

  The information distribution device 2 extracts the interested user and the keyword of interest for the user from the communication history data of the user, and the Web information of the service provider 4 that is written by the interested user to the user. Select text information that has an inheritance relationship or an equivalence relationship with the keyword of interest. In addition, the information distribution apparatus 2 converts the selected text information into voice as voiced information using a text voice function, and publishes the voiced information on the information network by voice release software, thereby allowing the Web user terminal 3 to The voice information is distributed.

  The interested user is a user who is registered in advance in the information distribution apparatus 2. Moreover, this interested keyword is a keyword registered in advance in the information distribution apparatus 2 by the interested user.

  Next, a basic function sequence of the information distribution system in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. This basic function sequence is executed by the following processing from step S1 to step S11.

S1: The Web user terminal 3 applies to the information distribution apparatus 2 in the information network 1 for registration of a Web site to be serviced and a keyword at the start.
S2: The information distribution apparatus 2 registers the Web site to be serviced and the starting keyword in the internal storage unit (service setting file storage unit 29 described later) in association with user identification information for identifying the user. In addition, an interested user is identified by this user identification information. This keyword is an interesting keyword.
S3: Thereafter, the Web user terminal 3 accesses the information network 1 via the information distribution apparatus 2, uses an application, or uses a network service.

S4: The information distribution apparatus 2 extracts an interest keyword and an interested user from the communication history of the Web user terminal 3.
S5: The service provider 4 provides articles on the website to the information distribution apparatus 2. For example, the service provider 4 periodically provides articles on the website to the information distribution apparatus 2.
S6: The information distribution apparatus 2 selects and extracts text information having an inheritance relationship with the interested keyword for the user from articles on the Web site received from the service provider 4.

S7: The information distribution apparatus 2 converts the text information selected and extracted in step S5 into speech information (speech conversion).
S8: The information distribution apparatus 2 converts the voice information into Web and transfers it to the service provider 4. This Web conversion is, for example, conversion into information in a format that can be disclosed on the Web.
S9: The service provider 4 publishes the voice information on the Web using voice publishing software.
S10: The information distribution apparatus 2 distributes the voice information to the Web user terminal 3.
S11: The Web user terminal 3 receives the voice information.

  Next, the configuration of the information distribution apparatus 2 will be described with reference to FIG. The information distribution apparatus 2 communicates with the Web user terminal 3 via the communication interface 31 and acquires information from the service provider 4. The communication history acquisition function unit 22 acquires a communication history from the communication history data, application, or service of the Web user terminal 3 and stores it in a communication history database (DB) unit (communication history storage unit) 23 as a database.

  The interest data extraction unit 24 extracts interest data from the communication history DB unit 23 based on a service setting file stored in a service setting file storage unit 29 described later. For example, the interest data extraction unit 24 extracts an interest keyword for the user for each interested user. Alternatively, the interest data extraction unit 24 extracts a keyword that has an equivalent relationship or a inheritance relationship with the registered keyword as an interest keyword of the user. The equivalence relation is a keyword having the same meaning, for example, and the inheritance relation is a keyword having the same meaning and being a superordinate concept or a subordinate concept.

  The article acquisition function unit 30 searches for and acquires articles from the service provider 4 based on, for example, a Web site registered as a service setting file in a service setting file storage unit 29 described later. The filter function unit 25 filters out the text including the interest keyword for each article of the interested user from the articles acquired by the article acquisition function unit 30.
