Abstract
A registration unit registers pieces of identification information of user terminals possessed by users, respectively, as a group. A position information acquisition unit acquires pieces of position information of the plurality of user terminals registered as the group. A reaching detection unit detects, from position information of a first user terminal possessed by one user, that the one user among the plurality of users registered as the group has reached a position where content information is provided. When the reaching is detected, a distance calculation unit calculates a distance between the first user terminal and another user terminal. In a case where the reaching is detected, a provision control unit provides the content information to the first user terminal, and controls provision of the content information to another user terminal possessed by another user of the group based on the calculated distance.
