Information provision system, server, terminal device, information provision method, display control method and recording medium

A server in an information provision system including a plurality of transmission devices present at locations different from each other, a terminal device, and the server, the server providing content to the terminal device, and the server comprising:

• a storage associating and storing location information of the transmission device, identification information, and content;
• a setter setting identification information in association with a content supposed to be provided by acquiring the location information of the transmission device of which the content is already stored in the storage and setting the identification information in association with a transmission device that is away from the location presented by the location information by a given or longer distance;
• a storing controller controlling the identification information set by the setter, location information of the transmission device transmitting the identification information, and content to be associated and stored in the storage;
• a receiver receiving the identification information and location information transmitted from the terminal device;
• a determiner determining the content to be transmitted based on the location information of the terminal device received by the receiver and the element stored in the storage;
• and
• a transmitter transmitting the content determined by the determiner to the terminal device.

A terminal device comprising:

• a creator creating a content;
• a transmitter transmitting the content created by the creator to an external server;
• a receiver receiving identification information associated with the transmitted information by the external server that has received the information;
• a display;
• a modulator modulating the identification information received by the receiver to information to be displayed on the display and changing in a time series manner;
• and
• a first display controller controlling the display based on the information modulated by the modulator.

An information provision method for a server in an information provision system including a plurality of transmission devices present at locations different from each other, a terminal device, and the server which provides content to the terminal device, the method comprising:

• a setting step of setting identification information in association with a content supposed to be provided by acquiring the location information of the transmission device of which the content is already stored in a storage, associating and storing the location information of the transmission device, identification information, and content in advance, and setting the identification information in association with a transmission device that is away from the location indicated by the location information by a given or longer distance;
• a storing control step of controlling the identification information set in the setting step, location information of the transmission device transmitting the identification information, and content to be associated and stored in the storage;
• a reception step of receiving the identification information and location information transmitted from the terminal device;
• a determination step of determining the content to be transmitted based on the location information of the terminal device received in the reception step and the element stored in the storage;
• and
• a transmission step of transmitting the content determined in the determination step to the terminal device.

A display control method, including:

• a creation step of creating a content;
• a transmission step of transmitting the content created in the creation step to an external server;
• a reception step of receiving identification information associated with the transmitted information by the external server that has received the information;
• a modulation step of modulating the identification information received in the reception step to information to be displayed on a display and changing in a time series manner;
• and
• a display control step of controlling the display based on the information modulated in the modulation step.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having a program stored thereon for controlling a server in an information provision system including a plurality of transmission devices present at locations different from each other, a terminal device, and the server which provides content to the terminal device, the program being executable to control the server to function as:

• a setter setting identification information in association with a content supposed to be provided by acquiring the location information of the transmission device of which the content is already stored in a storage, associating and storing the location information of the transmission device, identification information, and content in advance, and setting the identification information in association with a transmission device that is away from the location indicated by the location information by a given or longer distance;
• a storing controller controlling the identification information set by the setter, location information of the transmission device transmitting the identification information, and content to be associated and stored in the storage;
• a receiver receiving the identification information and location information transmitted from the terminal device;
• a determiner determining the content to be transmitted based on the location information of the terminal device received by the receiver and the element stored in the storage;
• and
• a transmitter transmitting the content determined by the determiner to the terminal device.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having a program stored thereon, the program being executable to control a computer in a terminal device comprising a display to function as:

• a creator creating a content;
• a transmitter transmitting the content created by the creator to an external server;
• a receiver receiving identification information associated with the transmitted information by the external server that has received the information;
• a modulator modulating the identification information received by the receiver to information to be displayed on the display and changing in a time series manner;
• and
• a first display controller controlling the display based on the information modulated by the modulator.
