• and
• a content distribution unit that distributes the contents stored in the storage unit with respect to the mobile terminal,
• wherein the content distribution unit determines that a user is capable of visiting to the facility by the vehicle in a case in which the information for determination that is acquired by the acquisition unit indicates that the vehicle has been activated, and determines that the user is incapable of visiting to the facility by the vehicle in a case in which the information for determination that is acquired by the acquisition unit does not indicate that the vehicle has been activated, and the content distribution unit determines which content in the plurality of contents stored in the storage unit is distributed with respect to the mobile terminal, on the basis of determination results relating to the activations of these vehicles.

A content distribution method, comprising:

• a storing step of storing a plurality of contents associated with a facility;
• an acquiring step of acquiring any one or both of activation information of a vehicle and position information of the vehicle from an in-vehicle device of the vehicle, as information for determination;
• and
• a content distributing step of distributing the contents stored in the storing step with respect to a mobile terminal,
• wherein the content distributing step determines that a user is capable of visiting to the facility by the vehicle in a case in which the information for determination that is acquired in the acquiring step indicates that the vehicle has been activated, and determines that the user is incapable of visiting to the facility by the vehicle in a case in which the information for determination that is acquired in the acquiring step does not indicate that the vehicle has been activated, and the content distributing step determines which content in the plurality of contents stored in the storing step is distributed with respect to the mobile terminal, on the basis of determination results relating to the activations of these vehicles.
