When the screen saver is operating as described above, when the PC user clicks on the content shift click button 35 included in the screen saver image 32 (step S60), the screen saver image disappears and the hard disk is removed. The promotional / advertisement contents stored in the web site are displayed in a website expression form in association with a web browser in an offline state rather than an online state (step S80). Although only one click button 35 is shown in FIG. 3A, in some cases, more than one click button 35 may be configured. For example, a click button for moving to the singer's homepage and a homepage for a company wishing to promote / advertise. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that multiple click buttons, such as a moving click button, may be included in the screensaver image 32. In addition, although only the image of the singer is shown as the screen saver image 32 in FIG. 3A, in some cases, a promotion / advertising image of a company that wishes to promote / advertise may be included, and these images appear at regular intervals. It may be gone. In addition, when the screen saver is in operation (step S50), instead of clicking the content transfer click button 35, if the screen saver image 32 itself is clicked (step S62), the screen saver image, for example, the above singer The relevant moving picture is displayed (step S65).

Since the contents of the promotion / advertisement are preferably written in an HTML document, the PC user can view the website of the singer or company without accessing the Internet and view the website by accessing the Internet. (Step S90). As such, when the promotional / advertisement contents are output in a web site format on a web browser, and the end button of the web browser is pressed, the screen of the promotional / advertisement contents is terminated (step S100).
