Abstract

An advertisement insertion server selects advertisement information to be inserted into information and transmits, based on this selection, the advertisement information to be inserted into the information to an advertisement insertion terminal. The advertisement insertion terminal receives the advertisement information to be inserted into the information, inserts the advertisement information into the information and thus records the information. A notification that the advertisement information has been inserted into the information and recorded, is given to the advertisement insertion server to acquire the benefit. The advertisement insertion server receives the thus-given notification for acquiring the benefit and records information about the benefit given to the user on the basis of this notification.
