Providing a new contents delivery method that is suitable for community
networks and reduces leaks of personal information. Presentities
indicating channels for information delivery are formed on presence
service, and virtual channel communication terminals corresponding to
their presentities are logically formed on an information delivery
server. Thereby, contents are transmitted and received between the
information delivery server and user communication terminals, and among
the user communication terminals as if the contents were transmitted and
received between a presentity indicating a channel and a presentity
indicating a user. During contents transmission and reception, the need
to exchange address information among users is eliminated, making it
possible to prevent leaks of personal information.
