Claim:
1. An information processing system, comprising: a positioning unit that calculates respective geographic positions, including a current geographic position, of a mobile user terminal and stores a current position coordinate of the current geographic position when a predetermined position criteria is met, including that the mobile user terminal has moved by at least a first predetermined distance; a data receiving unit that receives, from a server, predetermined data associated with a predetermined first-size geographic area only when the current position coordinate is within such first-size geographic area; a notification unit that notifies a user of the mobile user terminal when the current position coordinate is within a predetermined second-size geographic area, which is smaller than, and within, the first-size geographic area; and a program executing unit that executes a program, where the program is permitted to start using the received predetermined data only when the current position coordinate is within the predetermined second-size geographic area, wherein the predetermined data associated with the predetermined first-size geographic area include an area ID uniquely identifying the predetermined first-size geographic area, the predetermined first-size geographic area is among a plurality of first-size geographic areas including a further predetermined first-size geographic area having a further area ID uniquely identifying the further predetermined first-size geographic area, and when the mobile user terminal moves from the predetermined first-size geographic area into the further predetermined first-size geographic area and receives further predetermined data associated with the further predetermined first-size geographic area, the data receiving unit compares the area ID of the predetermined first-size geographic area with the further area ID of the further predetermined first-size geographic area and on the basis of such comparison deletes the predetermined data associated with the predetermined first-size geographic area in favor of the further predetermined data associated with the further predetermined first-size geographic area.
