The condition determination unit 222 determines that the terminal state indicated by the terminal state information acquired by the terminal state information acquisition unit 221 is a predetermined terminal state.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of Embodiment 3 of the prior notification method according to the present invention. In FIG. 6, the horizontal axis of the graph indicates time, and the vertical axis indicates the terminal state (CPU usage rate, temperature, etc.) indicated by the terminal state information. For example, when the CPU usage rate measured by the information receiving terminal 2 reaches the notification condition threshold value (establishment of the prior notification condition), a message “precautionary warning” (preliminary notification information) is displayed on the information receiving terminal 2. indicate. Accordingly, the user recognizes the message “Caution Warning” and takes measures such as stopping the use of the application to lower the CPU usage rate, and then the distribution information pushed from the information distribution device 1 is distributed. Can be received. Examples of the distribution information include statistical analysis results obtained by tabulating the terminal states of a plurality of information receiving terminals 2 on the information distribution side.

  In the graph of FIG. 6, a change in the terminal state (solid line) when the user performs a countermeasure by performing a prior notice “caution area warning” and the user has not yet performed the prior notice “caution area warning”. A change in terminal state (broken line) in the case of coping is shown. When the prior notification “caution area warning” is not performed, there is a high possibility that the distribution information push-distributed from the information distribution apparatus 1 is received after the terminal state reaches the state danger area. For this reason, in the case where the prior notice “caution warning” is not performed, it is inconvenient that it cannot be used even if the distribution information for alerting is received. However, in this embodiment, by performing the prior notice “caution area warning”, the possibility that the user will deal with increases, so it can be expected to prevent the terminal state from reaching the state danger area.

  In Example 4, the terminal operation information acquisition part 221 which acquires the terminal operation information which shows terminal operation of the own information receiving terminal 2 is provided. As the terminal operation information, for example, information such as a web browser operation, an electronic mailer operation, application activation, and terminal body activation can be used. The condition determination unit 222 determines that the terminal operation indicated by the terminal operation information acquired by the terminal operation information acquisition unit 221 is a predetermined terminal operation.

  For example, when the user accesses an arbitrary web page with the web browser (establishment of prior notification condition), a message (preliminary notification information) “line status is being received” is displayed on the information receiving terminal 2. As a result, the user recognizes the message “line status is being received” and then refers to the distribution information (for example, the degree of congestion of the line) pushed from the information distribution apparatus 1, and then the web page. You can decide whether to continue or cancel access to.

  In Example 5, the terminal operation history information acquisition part 221 which acquires the terminal operation history information which shows the terminal operation history of the own information receiving terminal 2 is provided. As the terminal operation history information, for example, information such as a web browser operation history, an electronic mailer operation history, an application activation history, an information reception terminal activation history, and the like can be used. The condition determination unit 222 determines that the terminal operation history indicated by the terminal operation history information acquired by the terminal operation history information acquisition unit 221 is a predetermined terminal operation history.

  For example, when a user accesses a specific online shop's home page through a web browser and then accesses a specific web page (for example, a product details page) of the online shop (establishment of a prior notification condition), the “information reception” A message “preliminary notification information” is displayed on the information receiving terminal 2 on the screen. As a result, the user recognizes the message “information is being received”, and then refers to distribution information (for example, information on popular products in a specific online shop) that is push-distributed from the information distribution apparatus 1. Can consider purchased products.

  In the sixth embodiment, advance notification information is dynamically registered. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of the prior notification information registration method according to the present invention. In FIG. 7, the condition determination unit 222 uses the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 221 to determine that the advance notification information registration condition is satisfied. The prior notification information registration condition is stored in the reception-side condition registration unit 21. If the condition determination unit 222 determines that the prior notification information registration condition is satisfied but is satisfied, the condition determination unit 222 outputs a prior notification content registration request to the notification content registration unit 23. Thereby, the notification content registration unit 23 registers the prior notification information in the registration unit 231 corresponding to the prior notification content registration request.

  The prior notification information registration condition may be the same as or different from the prior notification condition. In addition, the prior notification information corresponding to each of the prior notification information registration conditions may be stored in advance or may be acquired from another device.
