Perform processing. Control data that needs to be transmitted under the control of the controller 21 is supplied from the controller 21 or the like to the data processing unit 14, and transmission processing is performed in the same manner as audio data.

A memory 22 is connected to the controller 21. The memory 22 has a storage area for data necessary for general mobile phone terminals, such as data necessary for communication control and telephone directory data, and a storage area for data for accessing the site and the storage area for the site. A storage area for the transmitted data is provided.

The communication terminal device 10 has a display unit 23 composed of a liquid crystal display panel or the like, and can display necessary information as a wireless telephone terminal such as a telephone number and a text mail under the control of the controller 21. At the time of access to the site, the data transmitted from the site side is displayed on the display unit 23.
Is displayed. Further, an operation unit 24 including input means such as a dial key, a transmission key, various function keys, and a cross key is provided, and the controller 21 can determine operation information of the operation unit 24. As an input means constituting the operation unit 24, here, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, in addition to the various keys described above, a dial-type input unit 24a called a jog dial for performing a rotating operation and a pressing operation is provided on a side surface of the terminal device.

The communication terminal device 10 of this embodiment includes a scanner 25 for reading a bar code,
And a decoder 26 for decoding the signal read by
The data decoded by the decoder 26 is transferred to the controller 2
1 can be determined and stored in the memory 22. The scanner 25 is disposed on the bottom surface 10a of the terminal device 10, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, and has a configuration in which the reading unit 25a of the scanner 25 is exposed to the lower side. Here, the scanner 25 in which the reading section 25a is disposed is mounted so as to slightly protrude from the bottom face 10a, and when the reading section 25a is pressed against something (printed matter), the scanner 25 as shown by an arrow u. 25 is slightly pushed upward. When the scanner 25 is pushed in the direction shown by the arrow u, power is supplied to the scanner 25 and scanning of the printed matter that has come into contact with the reading unit 25a is performed.

The scanner 25 provided in the communication terminal device 10 of this embodiment scans a bar code printed on various advertisement media. Therefore, the decoder 26 is configured to decode the bar-coded data.

Next, a barcode scanned by the scanner 25 of the communication terminal device 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 4 shows an example of a barcode insertion state and an example of its scanning state. Here, magazine 300
The character string 3 of the address (URL) of the homepage of the company that posted the advertisement at a predetermined position on the advertisement page 301
02 is displayed, and a bar code 303 of an access code is displayed near the character string 302 of the homepage address.

The bar code 303 is, for example, as shown in FIG.
The data structure is shown in FIG. That is, a start code is placed at the beginning, and a medium recognition code, a medium code,
Site code and stop code are arranged. The start code is a code for causing the terminal device to recognize that it is a code for accessing the site, and a predetermined specific code is arranged. The medium recognition code is a code for causing the terminal device to recognize the number of characters of the medium code that starts next. The medium code is a code indicating from which medium the content is accessed, and is a code corresponding to the name of each medium. For example, it is a code corresponding to the name of a magazine in which a barcode is posted. The site code is a code indicating which site is accessed, and in the case of an Internet site, the UR
L is coded. The stop code is a code for causing the terminal device to recognize that the access code is terminated, and a predetermined specific code is arranged. In the following description, an aggregate from the start code to the stop code is referred to as an access code.

When scanning the bar code 303 posted as described above, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the scanner 25 on the bottom surface of the communication terminal device 10 is pressed against the advertisement page 301 while the bar code 303 is pressed. The communication terminal device 10 is moved from the left end of the code 303 as shown by an arrow s.

When the bar code of the access code is scanned by the communication terminal device 10 as described above, the access to the site of the site code included in the access code is automatically controlled by the controller 21 of the communication terminal device 10. This is a configuration that is performed dynamically.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing this access processing. First, the controller 21 determines whether the scanner 25 has been depressed (step S1).
1) When it is determined that the scanner 25 has been depressed, the scanner 25 is supplied with power and activated (step S).
12). The controller 21 determines the result of decoding the data read by the scanner 25 with this power supply,
It is determined whether a correct code has been detected (step S1).
3). The detection of the correct code here is the detection of the access code shown in FIG. 5, for example, it is determined whether or not a start code has been detected.

If a correct code cannot be detected in step S13, it is determined that the operation is erroneous, and the access process is stopped (step S14). If a correct code is detected, the site code and the medium code decoded by the decoder 26 are stored in the memory 22 (step S15). Here, this communication terminal device 1
It is determined whether or not the operation mode set to 0 is an immediate access mode (step S16). If the operation mode is an immediate access mode, the current position of the communication terminal apparatus 10 can be used by this terminal. It is determined whether or not it is within the service area (that is, whether or not it is a position where wireless communication with the base station 101 is possible) (step S17).

If the immediate access mode is not set in step S16 and if it is determined in step S17 that the mobile phone is out of the service area of the wireless telephone, the process waits without executing the access process (step S1).
8). In this case, the site code and the medium code stored in the memory 22 in step S15 are left in the memory.

If it is determined in step S17 that the terminal is within the service area, the controller 21 activates a browser for browsing information and dials up to the contracted carrier server 103 via the base station 101. An access process for connection is performed (step S19). If access to the carrier-side server 103 is possible, step S
The site code stored in the memory 22 at 15 is transmitted to the carrier-side server 103 (step S20). Upon transmission of the site code, the carrier-side server 103 performs a process of connecting to the site indicated by the code (eg, a homepage on the Internet). Then, an access process such as an access process is performed (step S21). Then, the controller 21 determines whether or not an operation for terminating the access has been performed (step S22). If the operation for terminating the access has been performed, a termination process for disconnecting the communication line is performed.

It should be noted that, even after this access processing is completed,
The site code and the medium code stored in the memory 22 in step S15 are left in the memory 22 as they are. Then, the stored site code is configured to be displayed on the display unit by a user's operation of the communication terminal device 10, and when it is determined that the user is unnecessary, the site code is determined to be unnecessary. The configuration is such that the determined site code can be deleted from the memory 22.

If the standby state is set in step S18, the user displays the site code stored in the memory 22 on the display unit 23 at any time thereafter to confirm the site code. Access to site code can be performed. The access processing in that case is also the same as the processing in steps S19 to S22.

Next, the processing in the carrier server 103 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. The carrier server 103 determines whether or not there is an access from a user of each communication terminal device (step S31). When there is access, it determines whether or not a site code is transmitted (step S32). When the code is transmitted, a connection process to the corresponding site is performed (step S3).
3). The site to be connected may be a site uniquely prepared by the operating company (carrier) of the wireless telephone system in addition to the Internet homepage.

Access to the site is performed as described above. In the case of the system of this embodiment, the control station 102 for controlling the wireless telephone line of the wireless telephone system is stored in the memory 22 of each communication terminal device. Media code that has been collected. The flowchart of FIG. 8 shows an example of the process of collecting the medium code in the control station 102, and it is determined whether or not it is time to collect the medium code (step S).
41) When it is time to collect, the control station calls each communication terminal device in order, and the memory 2 of each communication terminal device
2 is transferred to the control station (step S42). The media code that has been transferred is deleted from the memory 22 of each communication terminal device. Then, the control station 102 stores and transfers the transferred medium code in the access data storage unit 104, and the control station 102 or the like totals the stored medium code (step S43).

The timing for performing the counting in step S41 may be determined at an arbitrary timing, for example, once a month or once a week, and may be determined by calling each communication terminal device from a control station. In the transfer process of the medium code, it is only necessary to exchange control data between the control station and the controller in each communication terminal device, and the transfer of the medium code is performed in a state unknown to the user of each communication terminal device.

The communication terminal device for reading the medium code in step S42 is, for example, all communication terminal devices in this wireless telephone system (however, the communication terminal devices set or registered so as to be able to connect to the site). ) May be called in order. For example, data on the terminal device that has accessed the carrier-side server 103 is transmitted from the server 103 to the control station 102, and the control station 1
In 02, only the communication terminal devices that have been accessed may be sequentially called. If it is difficult to transfer media codes from all communication terminal devices due to the large number of terminal devices that have accessed the server 103, data can be transmitted only from an arbitrary number of terminal devices. May be transferred, and the medium code may be collected by sampling.

By counting the media codes collected by the control station 102 in this manner, when the user of each communication terminal device accesses the site, the media codes are posted on various media as bar codes or the like. It is possible to determine whether the access code is used or not, and when the access code is used, it is possible to determine which medium is used to obtain the access code. Therefore, on the side that operates each site, data on which medium is most effective to advertise can be obtained.

In the above-described embodiment, the media code is collected by the control station of the wireless telephone system. However, the media code may be collected by the server when accessing from each communication terminal. FIG. 9 shows a system configuration in the case where the carrier server 103 collects the medium code at the time of this access. The access data storage unit 104 is connected to the carrier server 103. Then, on the side of counting the media codes such as the control station 102, the server 1
The access data storage unit 104 connected to the server 03 is read and subjected to a tallying process. The other parts are configured in the same manner as the system configuration shown in FIG.

Then, as an access process in each communication terminal device, a process shown in a flowchart of FIG. 10 is performed. In the processing of the flowchart of FIG. 10, the transmission processing of the site code and the medium code in step S23 is performed instead of the transmission processing of the site code in step S20 of the flowchart of FIG. That is, the controller 21 determines whether or not the scanner 25 has been depressed (step S11). When it is determined that the scanner 25 has been depressed, the controller 21 supplies power to the scanner 25 to operate it (step S12). The controller 21 determines the result of decoding the data read by the controller 21 and determines whether a correct code is detected (step S1).
3).

If a correct code cannot be detected in step S13, the access processing is stopped (step S1).
4). If a correct code is detected, the decoder 26
The site code and the media code decoded by
2 (step S15). Here, it is determined whether or not the operation mode set for the communication terminal device 10 is a mode for immediately accessing (step S1).
6) If the mode is the immediate access mode, it is determined whether the mode is within the service area (step S1).
7).

If the immediate access mode is not set in step S16 and if it is determined in step S17 that the mobile phone is out of the service area of the wireless telephone, the process waits without executing the access process (step S1).
8).

If it is determined in step S17 that the terminal is within the service area, the controller 21 activates a browser for browsing information and contracts via the base station 101 by wireless communication with the communication terminal device. An access process for connecting to the carrier-side server 103 by dial-up is performed (step S19). Carrier-side server 103
If access to the memory 22 is possible,
Is transmitted to the carrier-side server 103 (step S23). By transmitting the site code, the carrier server 103 performs a process of connecting to the site (such as a homepage on the Internet) indicated by the code, and performs, for example, access to receive and display data from the site by the communication terminal device 10. Processing is performed (step S21). Then, the controller 21 determines whether or not an operation for terminating the access has been performed (step S22). If the operation for terminating the access has been performed, a termination process for disconnecting the communication line is performed.

When the access process shown in FIG. 10 is performed, the carrier server 103 performs, for example, the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, the carrier-side server 103 determines whether or not there is an access from the user of each communication terminal device (step S51). When the access is made, it determines whether or not a site code is transmitted (step S52). ), It is also determined whether or not a medium code has been transmitted (step S53). If the medium code is transmitted, the medium code is stored in the access data storage unit 104. And
Regardless of the presence or absence of the medium code, when there is a transmission of the site code, a connection process to the corresponding site is performed (step S54). By performing the access processing in this manner, the carrier server can collect the medium code at the time of access, and it is not necessary for the control station or the like to separately collect the medium code.

In the above-described embodiment, the bar-coded access code is posted on a medium such as an advertisement page of a magazine. good. That is, as shown in FIG. 12, for example, the advertisement posters 410, 420, and 430 posted on the bulletin board 400 each have a description 411, 421 of the address (URL) of the homepage address of the company that issues the advertisement. , 431 and description 412, 422, 4 of the bar-coded access code.
Perform 32. When the user holding the communication terminal device 10 is interested in seeing the posting of the poster, the communication terminal device 10 scans the barcode of the access code of the poster, thereby performing the URL input operation. You can access the site without having to.

The access code may be described on a medium other than a magazine or a poster. That is, newspaper advertisement, product package, postcard, insert flyer,
The access code may be printed and posted on various printed materials such as direct mail, flyer, product catalog, and promotional materials. Alternatively, an access code such as a barcode may be posted on a homepage list that lists homepages of each company.

In the above-described embodiment, the bar-coded access code is described. However, the access code may be described by another method. For example, an access code coded by various patterns other than a barcode may be used. That is, various one-dimensional symbols other than barcodes, two-dimensional symbols, and other geometric symbols may be used. When a symbol other than a one-dimensional symbol is used, a solid-state imaging device such as a CCD image sensor may be used as a means for reading the symbol. When such an imaging unit is used, the imaging unit can be used for both capturing an image for a so-called videophone and reading an access code.

Further, an advertisement manuscript is printed using a magnetic dye such as a leuco dye, and the access code is printed in a magnetic pattern of the magnetic dye in the printing process. As means for reading the magnetic pattern in the communication terminal device 10, a magnetic sensor is attached instead of a barcode scanner, the magnetic pattern is detected by the magnetic sensor, and the access code is obtained from the result of decoding the magnetic pattern. May be detected. As the magnetic sensor included in the communication terminal device, for example, a sensor using an MR element (magnetoresistive element) can be used. Since such a magnetic sensor is small, it can be easily incorporated in a small mobile phone terminal. Further, depending on the detection sensitivity of the sensor, it is also possible to read in a non-contact state in which the sensor does not contact the print medium.

When the access code is described with this magnetic pattern, it is possible to make the magnetic pattern invisible on the surface of the printed matter. It can also be displayed, so that advertisement space and the like can be effectively used. For example, a URL with a character string may be printed on a portion where an access code is posted in a magnetic pattern.

When the wireless terminal device is provided with reading means for reading a bar code or the like, the reading means may be formed separately from the wireless terminal device. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, for example, a connection terminal 31 of a scanner 30 for reading a barcode or the like is connected to a wireless terminal 10 ′, and data read by a reading unit 33 of the scanner 30 is connected to a cable 32. The data may be transferred to a memory in the wireless terminal device 10 ′ via the connection terminal unit 31, and an access process or a process for counting media codes may be performed based on the transferred data. Further, data read in a cordless manner may be transmitted between the wireless terminal device and the scanner device.

In the above-described embodiment, the scanner 25 provided in the communication terminal device 10 is turned on when the terminal device is depressed, and reads a bar code. The information may be read by operating a key. For example, after performing a predetermined mode setting, an operation such as pressing the dial-type input unit 24a on the side surface of the communication terminal device 10 shown in FIG. Alternatively, the reading may be performed when an operation of pressing down the terminal device and an operation of inputting a dedicated switch or pressing the dial-type input unit 24a are performed at the same time.

In the above-described embodiment, the wireless terminal device is a device configured as a so-called mobile phone terminal. However, the wireless terminal device may be configured as a terminal device dedicated to access to the Internet, or a PDA (Personal Digital).
Assistants) may be configured as a data processing terminal device. In this case, when a function as a wireless telephone is built in the data processing terminal device, the data processing terminal device can be accessed as it is using the read access code. If the data processing terminal does not have a function as a wireless telephone, a wireless communication terminal is connected to the data processing terminal so that the data processing terminal can be accessed with an access code read by the data processing terminal. Can be.

The access code shown in FIG. 5 is an example, and if at least a site code and a medium code are provided, the processing of the present invention can be realized. And a medium code may be arranged.
