Abstract

To provide a system and a method for providing information and a recording medium, by which communications cost and network traffic are reduced in a system which provides a plurality of pages including successive contents via a communication network. A story provider site 100 generates user ID for identifying a reader terminal 300 and reader information which includes information representing a last page, and transmits web page data segments based on the reader information together with the user ID to the reader terminal 300 concerned. The reader terminal 300 requests the pages with transmitting the user ID. The story provider site 100 transmits web page data segments based on the reader information corresponding to the returned user ID. The story provider site 100 updates the reader information based on the transmitted web page.
