Information distribution device, information reception device, information distribution method, and recording medium

An information distribution method in an information distribution system including an information distribution device, an information reception device and an action information transmission device, wherein

• the action information transmission device
• acquires action information representing an action of a user who uses the own device, and
• transmits the action information to the information distribution device;
• the information distribution device
• stores distribution information in a distribution information storage unit included in the information distribution device,
• collects action information from the action information transmission device,
• extracts a plurality of related pieces of action information from the collected action information, generates a selection condition based on information concerning at least one of the plurality of extracted pieces of action information, and generates, by using information concerning at least another of the plurality of extracted pieces of action information, selection information representing the distribution information in a selectable manner to construct personalization rules including the generated selection condition and the generated selection information,
• transmits the constructed personalization rules to the information reception device, and
• transmits distribution information stored in the distribution information storage unit included in the information distribution device to the information reception device;
• and
• the information reception device
• receives the personalization rules from the information distribution device,
• receives the distribution information from the information distribution device,
• acquires action information representing an action of a user who uses the own device,
• extracts personalization rules including a selection condition that matches the acquired action information from among received personalization rules,
• selects distribution information indicated by selection information included in the extracted personalization rules from received distribution information, and
• outputs the selected distribution information.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which a computer program is recorded, the computer program causing a computer device to use a distribution information storage unit storing distribution information to execute:

• an action information collection step of collecting action information from an action information transmission device transmitting action information representing an action of a user;
• a personalization rules construction step of extracting a plurality of related pieces of action information from the action information collected at the action information collection step, generating a selection condition based on information concerning at least one of the plurality of extracted pieces of action information, generating, by using information concerning at least another of the plurality of extracted pieces of action information, selection information representing the distribution information in a selectable manner to construct personalization rules including the generated selection condition and the generated selection information;
• a personalization rules transmission step of transmitting the personalization rules constructed at the personalization rules construction step to the information reception device;
• and
• a distribution information transmission step of transmitting distribution information stored in the distribution information storage unit to the information reception device.
