delivering the conference information on the basis of the interest degree calculated with respect to the conference information.

12. A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information delivery, the process comprising:

delivering conference information to a user terminal;

calculating an appearance frequency of a word included in sound data on a basis of sound data captured in a conference;

storing word appearance frequency data calculated in association with the sound data,
