## Abstract

A distribution system is provided, the distribution system including a mobile communication terminal for detecting a gesture of a user by using a gesture detection device that is wirelessly connected, and a distribution device that can communicate with the mobile communication terminal, the distribution system including an accepting unit configured to accept registration of first acceleration data expressing a variation in acceleration within a predetermined time, and advertisement data indicating an advertisement to be displayed on the mobile communication terminal; a distributing unit configured to distribute the first acceleration data and the advertisement data to the mobile communication terminal; a comparing unit configured to compare the distributed first acceleration data with second acceleration data expressing the gesture of the user sent from the gesture detection device; and a first outputting unit configured to output the advertisement data, when the comparing unit makes the comparison.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A distribution system comprising:
a mobile communication terminal for detecting a gesture of a user by using a gesture detection device that is wirelessly connected to the mobile communication terminal, and
a distribution device that can communicate with the mobile communication terminal, the distribution device including:
a processor configured to
to accept registration of first acceleration data expressing a variation in acceleration within a predetermined time, and advertisement data indicating an advertisement to be displayed on the mobile communication terminal; and
to distribute the first acceleration data and the advertisement data to the mobile communication terminal;
the mobile communication terminal including:
a second processor configured to
compare the distributed first acceleration data with second acceleration data expressing the gesture of the user sent from the gesture detection device; and
output the advertisement data, when the second processor makes the comparison.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The distribution system according to claim 1, wherein the second processor is further configured to:
receive the second acceleration data from the gesture detection device that is worn by a body of the user.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The distribution system according to claim 2, wherein the second processor is further configured to:
output predetermined voice sound data, when the first acceleration data and the second acceleration data are deemed to match each other as a result of the comparison by the second processor, wherein
the processor is further configured to accept the registration of the voice sound data, in addition to the first acceleration data and the advertisement data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The distribution system according to claim 3, wherein
the voice sound data indicates a voice sound that is generated as a result of the gesture indicated by the first acceleration data, and
the second processor is further configured to output the voice sound data while the first outputting unit is outputting the advertisement data.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The distribution system according to claim 4, wherein
the second processor is further configured to output the advertisement data, when the first acceleration data and the second acceleration data are deemed to match each other as the result of the comparison by the second processor.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The distribution system according to claim 5, wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive data relating to the output of the advertisement data from the mobile communication terminal; and
output the data.

### Claim 7

A distribution method executed by a distribution system including a mobile communication terminal for detecting a gesture of a user by using a gesture detection device that is wirelessly connected to the mobile communication terminal, and a distribution device that can communicate with the mobile communication terminal, the distribution method comprising:
an accepting step, by the distribution device, of accepting registration of first acceleration data expressing a variation in acceleration within a predetermined time, and advertisement data indicating an advertisement to be displayed on the mobile communication terminal;
a distributing step, by the distribution device, of distributing the first acceleration data and the advertisement data to the mobile communication terminal;
a comparing step, by the mobile communication terminal, of comparing the distributed first acceleration data with second acceleration data expressing the gesture of the user sent from the gesture detection device; and
a first outputting step, by the mobile communication terminal, of outputting the advertisement data, when the comparison is made at the comparing step.

### Claim 8

A distribution device that can communicate with a mobile communication terminal for detecting a gesture of a user by using a gesture detection device that is wirelessly connected to the mobile communication terminal, the distribution device comprising:
a processor configured to:
accept registration of first acceleration data expressing a variation in acceleration within a predetermined time, and advertisement data indicating an advertisement to be displayed on the mobile communication terminal; and
distribute, to the mobile communication terminal, the first acceleration data, which is compared with second acceleration data expressing the gesture of the user sent from the gesture detection device, and the advertisement data, which is output when the comparison between the first acceleration data and the second acceleration data is made.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The distribution system according to claim 1, wherein the distribution device includes a plurality of distributed computers.
