Abstract
The present invention is directed to improve convenience to the user. A path extending from the present location S of a mobile terminal to a destination D via a base station is calculated (S), distances between base stations on the calculated path and the present location are calculated, and the closest base station is determined as a contents delivery base station (S). Grace time for the mobile terminal to pass through the contents delivery base station is calculated. Then, scheduled time to deliver the contents to the mobile terminal is calculated (S). While monitoring a travel state of the mobile terminal (Sto S), the contents are delivered to the mobile terminal near the contents delivery base station (S).
