Combined screen data, consisting of non-advertisement information requested by users from customer terminals (81, 82, 83, ????) via an information network (4) and an advertisement screen image, are distributed to respective requesting customer terminals (81, 82, 83, ????) via the information network (4), the non-advertisement information is output, and a non-advertisement information screen image, including an advertisement screen image in a part thereof or in the background thereof, is displayed on display units of respective customer terminals (81, 82, 83, ????). A file interrelating a type of the distributed non-advertisement information with an attribute of an information receiver class and the time-wise trend of an attribute of an information receiver class is retained in a non-advertisement information database (64). By referencing data stored in the database (64) and allowing for the time-wise trend of an attribute of an information receiver class, advertisement contents an information receiver is most interested in are distributed according to the respective contents of non-advertisement information of various types. Advertisement contents an information receiver is most interested in are displayed as the background of, or a part of, the display screen image of non-advertisement information. |
