To provide a layout system that prevents a layout intended by a designer
from being destroyed, a content delivery terminal segments a selected
information container frame into information container frames that do not
overlap with another information container frame, registers the segmented
information container frames into a modification candidate list, selects
one of the segmented information container frames from the modification
candidate list, and modifies the selected information container frame to
the selected modification candidate container frame. Regardless of the
content of an article, the amount of information of the article, and the
logical structure of the article, the information container frame is
modified in size with the rectangular shape thereof maintained.
