Abstract
A terminal and first, second and third servers are connected through a communication circuit. The first server stores a list of data of obtainable characters and a server address of character display data. The second server stores character display data and a schedule file. The third server stores advertisement data. The terminal down-loads the list from the first server and displays the list of obtainable characters. By selecting an arbitrary character from the list, the terminal down-loads an address of stored character display data from the second server. Based on the address, character display data and a corresponding schedule file are down-loaded from the second server. Advertisement data is down-loaded from the third server as described in the schedule file. The terminal displays the character on a desktop based on the character display data, and provides an advertisement from the advertisement data according to a schedule described in the schedule file.
