1. An information providing system for selecting content to be provided to a user and when to provide the selected content based on a condition of the user, the system comprising:
a terminal device that acquires, from one or more sensors, biological information including an acceleration and pulse rate of the user; and
an information processing device,
wherein the terminal device
calculates an amount of change for each of the pulse rate and acceleration based on currently acquired biological information and previous biological information acquired a predetermined time earlier than the time of the currently acquired biological information,
calculates increase and decrease information for each of the pulse rate and acceleration based on the calculated amount of change,
determines a current condition, from a plurality of predefined conditions, of the user based on the calculated increase and decrease information for each of the pulse rate and acceleration, the plurality of predefined conditions including at least a normal condition and one or more non-normal conditions, the non-normal conditions being one or more of tension, impatience, and fatigue, and
the information processing device
receives transmission data including position information as information for identifying a store and category information indicating a category to which merchandise or service provided by the store belongs,
selects, as the content to be provided to the user, content of another store associated with the category information and different from the store identified by the position information included in the transmission data when judging that the content of the another store should be provided,
receives the determined current condition of the user from the terminal device,
judges whether the selected content should be provided to the terminal device or not based on whether the received current condition has been continuously been a non-normal condition for a fixed period of time, and
transmits the selected content to the terminal device when judging that the content should be provided to the terminal device.
