1. An information distributing program for realizing, on a computer:
- a type specifying function for specifying, when an access request to contents accumulated in information sources is made, a type of connecting terminal based on said access request;
a contents obtaining function for obtaining, based on the connecting terminal type specified by said type specifying function and a data format of said contents, contents in a predetermined format from said information sources;
a format converting function for dynamically converting the contents in the predetermined format obtained by said contents obtaining function into a format suitable for said connecting terminal type; and
a contents transmitting function for transmitting the contents, the format of which has been converted by said format converting function, to said connecting terminal.
