First, the administrator-provided information (delivery content) is transmitted from the administrator terminal 3 to the digital signage 1 via the communication network 2. On the other hand, the user posting information is posted to the digital signage 1 from the user terminal 4 in the specific area A. In digital signage 1, display information is generated from information provided by the administrator and information posted by the user. The display information is displayed on the display of the digital signage 1 and distributed to the user terminal.

FIG. 5 shows an example of information propagation between specific areas. As shown in the figure, for example, in the specific area A1, display information is generated as described with reference to FIG. Then, when the user terminal 4 moves to the next specific area A2 due to the movement of the user, the user terminal 4 communicates with the digital signage 1 of the next specific area A2 and displays the display information of the previous specific area A1. If the information is posted to the digital signage 1 of the next specific area A2 as the user-posted information, the display information as described in FIG. It will propagate. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, by moving the user terminal 4, the display information of the digital signage 1 in the previous specific area can be displayed between the specific area A3, the specific area A4, and the specific area A5. It will propagate to the digital signage 1 in the next specific area. In this way, when the user terminal moves between the specific areas where the digital signage, which is the device of the present invention, is arranged, the information is transmitted infectiously. As a result, information can be propagated even when the network cannot be used due to a disaster or the like.

[Embodiment 3]
An example of switching the display between normal times and a disaster will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

Weather information, traffic information, and local information (garbage day, local event notification information, etc.) are distributed to digital signage as information provided by administrators. Further, for example, resident-posted information is posted to the digital signage as user-posted information from the user terminal. Then, in digital signage, display information (weather / traffic information, regional public relations, travel information) is generated from the information provided by the administrator and the information posted by the user, and is displayed on the display. In addition, the displayed information is distributed to user terminals in a specific area by digital signage, and information such as "bean sowing event" or "garbage day" can be obtained.

FIG. 7 shows an example in which the display information displayed and distributed in the digital signage is switched by the display information switching means 18 in the event of a disaster. As shown in the figure, in the event of a disaster, the digital signage switches the display from normal times, displays the information of "earthquake bulletin" and "evacuation order", and distributes it to the user terminal. When a certain period of time has passed since the disaster occurred, in addition to general information such as weather and traffic information, necessary information such as disaster information, evacuation information, and material information is delivered to digital signage as information provided by the administrator. In addition, neighborhood information (neighborhood evacuation center information, neighborhood safety information, etc.) is posted to digital signage as user-posted information from the user terminal. Then, the digital signage generates display information at the time of a disaster from the information provided by the administrator and the information posted by the user, displays it on the display, and distributes it to the user terminal in a specific area. The user can share the damage situation and the evacuation situation by the display information delivered to the user terminal, and can confirm the relief supplies information and the like from the propagated information.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes that can be understood by those skilled in the art can be made to the structure and details of the present invention within the scope of the present invention.

According to the present invention, the user terminal and the information distribution device can exchange information with each other in a specific area, and the display information can be switched according to a situation such as a disaster. Further, according to the present invention, even if the network goes down and cannot be used as in the case of a disaster, information can be propagated, which is useful in a disaster or the like.
