Abstract:
According to the present invention, a user device can obtain together, from an advertisement server for providing an advertisement service, via a neighbor access point device, update condition information on advertisement information in the course of obtaining the advertisement information. In addition, if the update condition information is satisfactory, the user device requests the advertisement information from the advertisement server via an AP and stores the advertisement information received in response to the request, thereby being capable of updating the advertisement information.
