Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION One's own homepage that can be created, updated, and browsed from a mobile phone via the Internet,
Provide a template that can be easily created, and use the dedicated URL (Uniform Res) for the home page created by the template.
The present invention relates to a business method of providing a website Locator) and managing and operating a website listing the URL.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, homepages and websites published on the Internet are created on a personal computer,
I was connected to the homepage or website through a personal computer. To create the home page,
They acquired the knowledge necessary to create TML files and created a homepage by themselves, purchased commercially available software for homepage creation, or created a homepage, or asked a homepage creation company to create it. The home page created in this way was usually updated using a personal computer.

[0003]

Conventionally, a home page on the Internet is created by making full use of hardware such as a personal computer and a scanner, and software for creating a home page or knowledge necessary for creating an HTML file. Usually, to create such a homepage,
It requires a certain level of knowledge and a corresponding preparation time.

In the conventional method of creating a home page on a personal computer, it is necessary for the creator to go to the place where the personal computer is installed to create the home page, and it is normal to immediately handle the information currently underway on the spot. In such a case, it is hard to say that it corresponds sufficiently. In fact, it is a great effort and burden to maintain the home page that updates the information frequently and updates the contents by the conventional method.

Further, if a home page is to be created from a mobile phone by making full use of the conventional software for creating a home page or the knowledge necessary for creating an HTML file,
Since the structure of the homepage is complicated and many input operations are required to create the homepage, the simple input device and the small main body, which are the features of the mobile phone, hinder the operation.

Returning to the backside of the feature that the number of input keys that are indispensable as a portable function is small and small, it is easy to make a mistake in pressing the keys and the operation is difficult, so the input speed is slow, and the keys are used for character conversion. It will be difficult to press it more often. Since mobile phones cannot specify the place of use or the posture of the user, they are supposed to be held and operated by hand, so the input operation is unstable. It is not stable even if you leave it for input operation.

[0007] As described above, since the assumed usage conditions are significantly different between the mobile phone and the personal computer, the home page creating software for the personal computer is used to create and update the home page on the personal computer and utilize the home page on the mobile phone. The conventional method is unreasonable.

Many mobile phone users, such as elementary and junior high school students, high school students, and housewives, do not have enough knowledge to create a home page on the assumption that they use a personal computer, and cannot easily adapt to the conventional home page creating method. There are circumstances.

Although it has only simple functions, it can be easily operated by anyone, and it has many functions. The scope of application is naturally different between a personal computer and a portable personal computer where the operating environment is limited.

[0010]

[Means for solving the problems] At present, an environment in which a plurality of mobile phone companies can connect to the Internet is provided, and an increasing number of people are browsing websites and websites on the Internet from mobile phones.

Internet information accessed from a mobile phone is slightly different from that accessed from a personal computer. The situation where you are stopped on the go or outdoors and are accessing the Internet from your mobile phone,
This is because even when the same person is sitting indoors or in the office and accessing the Internet from a personal computer, the quality, amount, and type of information required by the same person are different.

Therefore, the requirements for the structure, operability, and contents of the website that uses the home page for the internet business are naturally different between the case where the terminal is assumed to be a personal computer and the case where the terminal is assumed to be a mobile phone.
