Abstract

An advertisement delivery system of the present invention includes a store terminal, a management device connected to the store terminal via a communication network, and a mobile terminal connected to the management device via the communication network. The store terminal transmits a delivery instruction to the management device in response to an operation giving an instruction to deliver advertisement data. When the delivery instruction transmitted from the store terminal is received, the management device push-delivers the advertisement data of the store that has given the delivery instruction to the mobile terminal. Then, when the advertisement data of the store push-delivered from the management device is received, the mobile terminal judges whether or not the distance from the store to its current position is within a predetermined range, and outputs the advertisement data on a condition that the distance is within the predetermined range.
