A content distribution device comprising:
- a communication component that communicates with an access point device having a plurality of identifiers, the identifiers including SSIDs (service set identifiers) that are wirelessly broadcast by the access point device and indicative of network names of wireless LANs that are established by the access point device and a stealth SSID that is set to stealth and indicative of a network name of a wireless LAN that is established by the access point device;
- a controller that sets a distribution related condition related to a distribution of content for each of the stealth SSID and the SSIDs;
- and
- a storage component that stores the distribution related condition in association with each of the stealth SSID and the SSIDs,
- in response to the controller receiving a content distribution request from a distribution terminal via the access point device, the controller
- obtaining, from the access point device, one of the stealth SSID and the SSIDs used by the distribution terminal to establish a wireless LAN between the distribution terminal and the access point device,
- searching, based on the obtained one of the stealth SSID and the SSIDs, a distribution related condition associated with the obtained one of the stealth SSID and the SSIDs from among the distribution related condition that has been stored in the storage component in association with each of the stealth SSID and the SSIDs, and
- executing the distribution of the content to the distribution terminal according to the searched distribution related condition that has been searched based on the obtained one of the stealth SSID and the SSIDs.
