【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, an information provider connects to a gateway connection device installed in a communication network composed of a mobile communication network and a fixed communication network, and transfers information through the gateway connection device. Therefore, it can be applied even in an environment where a mobile communication network and a fixed communication network coexist, and information can be transferred.
[0036]
Further, since the gateway connection device performs distribution / accumulation according to information attributes, it can be applied even in an environment where information having a plurality of attributes coexists, and information can be transferred. Furthermore, since the gateway connection device performs information distribution in consideration of the state of the user, the state of the communication network, etc., the information is transferred to the user who is driving the vehicle to increase the load on the driver. It is possible to prevent problems such as causing congestion by transferring information when it is busy.
