1. A computer-implemented information providing method, comprising:
receiving, from a terminal apparatus, terminal position information representative of a position of the terminal apparatus;
identifying, from among a plurality of pieces of distribution information stored in a reference table in which correspondences between the plurality pieces of distribution information and a plurality of pieces of sound output position information are registered, a piece of distribution information corresponding to a piece of sound output position information identified based on the position of the terminal apparatus represented by the received terminal position information, wherein:
each of the plurality of pieces of distribution information relates to a position at which a corresponding one of sound output devices outputs sound, and
each of the plurality of pieces of sound output position information is representative of a position at which the corresponding sound output device outputs the sound; and
transmitting the identified piece of distribution information to the terminal apparatus.
 
12. An information provision system comprising:
a receiver;
a transmitter; and
at least one processor configured to execute stored instructions to:
control the receiver to receive terminal position information representative of a position of the terminal apparatus;
identify, from among a plurality of pieces of distribution information stored in a reference table in which correspondences between the plurality pieces of distribution information and a plurality of pieces of sound output position information are registered, a piece of distribution information corresponding to a piece of sound output position information identified based on the position of the terminal apparatus represented by the received terminal position information, wherein:
each of the plurality of pieces of distribution information relates to a position at which a corresponding one of the sound output devices outputs sound, and
each of the plurality of pieces of sound output position information is representative of a position at which the corresponding sound output device outputs sound; and
control the transmitter to transmit the identified piece of distribution information to the terminal apparatus.
