(Embodiment)
Hereinafter, an information distribution apparatus, an information distribution system, an information distribution method, and a program according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Apparatus and system configuration]
Initially, the structure of the information delivery apparatus 20 and the information delivery system 60 in embodiment of this invention is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an information distribution apparatus and an information distribution system in an embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the information distribution system 60 includes an information distribution device 20, a terminal information database 30, a position information database 40, and a store information database 50. Among these, the information distribution apparatus 20 is connected to n terminals 10-1 to 10-n (n is a natural number) via a network (not shown), and the like among the terminals 10-1 to 10-n. Information about stores is distributed as recommendation information to terminals to be distributed. In the following description, when a specific terminal is not indicated, it is described as “terminal 10”.

  The terminal information database 20 stores personal information registered for the user of each terminal 10 and group information for specifying a group to which each terminal 10 belongs. In this specification, personal information and group information are collectively referred to as “terminal information”.

  The position information database 40 stores position information for specifying the position of each terminal 10. The store information database 50 stores store information. The store information is information that identifies the location of each store that is a candidate for recommendation information and the services that each store can provide.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the information distribution apparatus 20 mainly includes a distribution target specifying unit 25, a personal information acquisition unit 26, a store selection unit 27, and an information distribution unit 28.

  The distribution target specifying unit 25 uses the group information and the position information from among the remaining terminals 10 when any one of the connected terminals 10 requests distribution of the recommendation information. The terminal 10 that matches the conditions is specified as a distribution target (hereinafter referred to as “distribution target terminal”).

  Here, as conditions, the terminal belonging to the same group as the terminal (hereinafter referred to as “distribution request terminal”) 10 that requested distribution of recommendation information and the distance to the distribution request terminal 10 are within a set range (for example, within 1 km) Etc.). For example, it is assumed that the terminal 10-1 is a distribution request terminal and is registered as a group together with the terminal 10-2 and the terminal 10-3. In this case, if only the terminal 10-2 is located near the terminal 10-1, the distribution target specifying unit 25 specifies the terminal 10-2 as the distribution target terminal.
