Abstract

An information delivery system includes a mobile terminal of a user, a home domain, and an access destination domain for a specific area to which the mobile terminal currently belongs. The access destination domain transmits a selected service data of a group of service data about the specific area to the mobile terminal when acquiring an identifier of the mobile terminal, and transmits a user personal data request with the identifier of the mobile terminal to the home domain. The home domain transmits user personal data corresponding to the identifier to the access destination domain in response to the user personal data request, and the user personal data indicates features of the user. The access destination domain updates statistic data based on the user personal data, and previously selects one of the group of service data as the selected service data based on the updated statistic data.
