Claim Text:
1. An information distribution server that distributes information acquired from a transmitter to a first receiver and a second receiver, comprising: a storage unit that stores a first output style sheet for the first receiver and a second output style sheet for the second receiver, which are information conversion rules including a conditional expression related to information distribution; an output data acquisition unit that acquires output data from the transmitter; a receiver information acquisition unit that acquires receiver information from the transmitter specifying a first address of the first receiver and a second address of the second receiver and specifying the first output style sheet corresponding to the first receiver and the second output style sheet corresponding to the second receiver; a condition evaluation unit that determines whether or not the output data satisfies the conditional expression contained in the first output style sheet specified by the receiver information; and a distribution unit that distributes converted output data, which is the output data converted based on the first output style sheet, to the first address specified by the receiver information when the output data satisfies the conditional expression in the first output style sheet, wherein the distribution unit does not distribute the converted output data to the first address specified by the receiver information when the output data does not satisfy the conditional expression in the first output style sheet, the first output style sheet and the second output style sheet include different conditional expressions, and the receiver information has a hierarchical structure indicating an order priority of receivers for distributing converted output data.
