Server for gathering and providing information

A storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to function as a server, the server being an information providing server that can provide information to a first network,

• the server comprising:
• an information storage part for storing predetermined information;
• an information providing part for providing the stored predetermined information to the first network;
• a disclosure timing setting part for setting disclosure timing with respect to each of the predetermined information stored in the information storage part;
• and an information outputting part for outputting information that has reached the disclosure timing set by the disclosure timing setting part among the predetermined information to a second information providing server that can provide information to a second network that differs from the first network.

A double-server system comprising a first server capable of providing information to a first network and a second server capable of providing information to a second network,

• the first server comprising:
• a first information storage part for storing predetermined information;
• a first information providing part for providing the stored predetermined information to the first network;
• a disclosure timing setting part for setting disclosure timing with respect to each of the predetermined information stored in the first information storage part;
• and an information outputting part for outputting information that has reached the disclosure timing set by the disclosure timing setting part among the predetermined information stored in the first information storage part to the second server;
• the second server comprising:
• a second information storage part for storing information output from the information outputting part;
• and a second information providing part for providing the stored information to the second network.

An information providing/gathering server that is connected to a first network and that provides and gathers information, the information providing/gathering server comprising:

• a first information storage part for storing first predetermined information;
• an information providing part for providing the first predetermined information that has been stored therein to the first network;
• an information inputting part for inputting second predetermined information that has been transmitted from a client computer through the first network;
• a second information storage part for storing the second predetermined information that has been input;
• and
• an information outputting part for, when a request from a host computer connected to a second network different from the first network is received to output the second predetermined information that has been stored in the second information storage part under a predetermined condition, outputting the second predetermined information to the host computer.
