A distance between positional information added to contents and a current position detected in an information receiving terminal is calculated, and based on the calculated distance, a method for outputting the contents is controlled. Thus, since the method for outputting the contents can be changed by a positional relationship between the contents and the information receiving terminal, distance relationship between the current position and the contents can be clearly displayed so that users can easily select the contents.

The invention claimed is: 1. An information receiving terminal comprising:a positional information detector that detects current position information;a speed information detector that detects movement speed;a content searcher that searches content related to facilities and corresponding to the detected current position information, based on the detected current position information, and position information of the content to which attribute information including the position information is added or based on the movement speed detected by the speed information detector; andan output controller that controls an output method of the searched content, based on a distance between the position information of the searched content and the current position information, when the content searcher searches based upon the position information or based upon an estimated time of arrival at the position information of the searched content from the current position information, when the content searcher searches based upon the detected movement speed, wherein the estimated time of arrival is based on the detected movement speed;wherein the output controller varies the output method of the searched content in accordance with an update of the distance, such that the information regarding a facility output from the same searched content related to a previously indicated facility at a smaller distance from the information receiving terminal is more detailed than the information regarding an other facility output from the searched content related to the other facility at a larger distance from the information receiving terminal, when the content searcher searches based upon the position information, or wherein the output controller varies the output method of the searched content in accordance with an update of the estimated time of arrival such that the information regarding a facility output from the same searched content related to the previously indicated facility having a shorter estimated time of arrival is more detailed than the information regarding an other facility output from searched content related to the other facility having a longer estimated time of arrival from the information receiving terminal, when the content searcher searches based upon the detected movement speed.
