The present invention relates to a system for providing a mobile communication terminal the position of which can be detected with location-based information that is associated with a detected position and a method of service for providing the mobile communication terminal with the location-based information automatically and quickly by synchronizing with behavior of the mobile communication terminal. Further, the present invention provides a location-based information intermediation method and a location-based information acquisition method. Still further, the present invention provides the mobile communication terminal and the intermediation computer system for such method. In the location-based information intermediation and acquisition method, an intermediation computer system (2) on a network intermediates the location-based information provided by a content server (4) on the network and the mobile communication terminal (1) on the network acquires desired location-based information by synchronizing with its own behavior by means of the intermediation. The intermediation computer system (2) transmits an information source and distribution condition list to the mobile communication terminal (1) in response to a request of the mobile communication terminal (1) or a client computer (6). The mobile communication terminal (1) verifies the behavior of the mobile communication terminal (1) against the distribution conditions of the information source indicated in said received information source and distribution condition list and then accesses the verified information source so as to receive the location-based information for presentation.
