Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information providing system for providing information using, for example, the Internet and a communication terminal used in the system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, by browsing a homepage on the Internet using a communication terminal connected to a communication network such as a telephone line, various information disclosed on the homepage can be obtained. In this case, when the user who operates the communication terminal inputs the address of the home page, the home page of the input address is displayed on the display unit on the communication terminal side. If the address is unknown, the home page search function can be used to find a home page from which the information required by the user can be obtained.

[0003]

As described above, in the conventional presentation of information by a homepage, it is basically necessary for the user to access the homepage by designating the address of the homepage. Therefore, if the user has no intention of accessing the home page, even if the information presented on the home page is useful information for the user, the user cannot see the information and is likely to miss it.

Here, for example, by utilizing a data transmission function called electronic mail, if the address of each communication terminal is known, information can be directly sent to each communication terminal. For example, by using a function called a so-called mail magazine, which sends e-mails to a large number of users who are regularly registered from the server side,
Advertisements and the like can be sent to many users. However, even when sending electronic mail, the user cannot receive the mail unless the user accesses the server in which the mail is stored.

In recent years, there has been a system in which a communication environment that is always connected to the Internet is prepared, and when an electronic mail is stored in a server, the electronic mail reaches the communication terminal on the user side immediately. Even with the mail function using, for example, the system configuration is such that the server side can immediately reach the user's mobile phone terminal. However, even in these cases, the information received is not displayed on the terminal of the user side unless the user operates to open the received email, and it is unknown when the delivered information can be seen. There was no problem.

[0006] Therefore, the conventional information distribution using the Internet home page or electronic mail is not suitable for the information distribution that requires immediacy.

In view of the above points, the present invention makes it possible, when information is distributed using a communication network such as a telephone line, to promptly and surely deliver the information desired by the information provider to the communication terminal on the user side. The purpose is to

[0008]

The information providing system of the present invention is an information providing system comprising a server for providing information and a communication terminal capable of communicating with the server at least by a telephone line. As a server of this system, a terminal information storage unit that stores the telephone number of a telephone line connected to each communication terminal, an additional information storage unit that stores information to be provided, and a specific information stored in the additional information storage unit. And communication control means for making a call to the telephone number of the communication terminal stored in the terminal information storage means when there is an accumulation. The communication terminal includes a telephone line processing means for processing communication using a connected telephone line, an access means for accessing a server when the telephone line processing means receives an incoming call through the telephone line, and an access means. And information receiving means for receiving the information obtained by the access.

According to the information providing system of the present invention, when the specific information is stored in the additional information storage means on the server side,
A call is made to the telephone number of the communication terminal stored in the terminal information storage means. In the communication terminal called by this call,
When there is a predetermined incoming call, the process of accessing the server is executed by the communication terminal. Upon this access, a process of sending the specific information stored in the provided information storage means to the accessed communication terminal is executed. Therefore, the specific information stored in the provided information storage means on the server side can be sent to the communication terminal.

Further, the communication terminal of the present invention is registered in advance when there is a telephone line processing means for processing communication using the connected telephone line and a predetermined incoming call through the telephone line by the telephone line processing means. And an information receiving means for receiving information obtained by the access by the access means.

According to the communication terminal of the present invention, when there is an incoming call through the telephone line connecting the communication terminal, the process of accessing the address of the server registered in advance is executed and the information is received from the accessed server. become able to.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this example, a service providing center is configured as a server for the Internet, and a communication terminal to which information is distributed from the center is provided in each user as a system configuration. First, an outline of the system of this example will be described with reference to FIG. The center 10 having a function as a server for the Internet includes information providers 1,
The information provided by 2, 3, ... Is accumulated, and the accumulated information is posted on the homepage established by the center 10.

The center 10 is constructed so as to be able to perform data transmission with the communication terminals 100 on the respective users side via the communication network for the Internet. In the figure, the communication terminal 100
Although only one is shown, there are as many communication terminals 100 as there are users registered in the center 10. As a communication network for the Internet for performing communication between the center 10 and the communication terminal 100, a communication network that is always connected is prepared here. For example, ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) that uses a band not used for telephone communication of a telephone line
And a communication network for cable television.

Further, in addition to the communication network for the Internet, the center 10 and each communication terminal 100 are connected by a telephone line, and the center 10 is connected using the connected telephone line. From communication terminal 100
In addition, it has a configuration that can make a telephone call. Center 10
When any one of the information providers newly provides information, the center 10 makes a call to the registered communication terminal 100. This center 10
When calling from, the caller number is notified, and when the communication terminal 100 receives a call through the telephone line, the caller's phone number notified by the caller number notification is confirmed.

Here, the telephone number used for the call from the center 10 is a predetermined specific telephone number, and each communication terminal 100 also has the telephone number used by the center 10 for the call. When the communication terminal 100 confirms that the call has been registered and the call is from the center 10,
The communication terminal 100 uses the communication network for the Internet to access the address of the homepage established by the center 10. By accessing this address,
The center 10 sends the data of the accessed homepage to the communication terminal 100, and the communication terminal 100 displays the received homepage. At this time, a notification alarm process of receiving the information is performed if necessary.

Next, a specific configuration example of the system of this example will be described with reference to FIG. The service providing center 10, which functions as a web server on the Internet,
The information notifying unit 11 is provided as a control unit that controls the notification function. A user database 12 is connected to the information notification unit 11, and data relating to a communication terminal (or a user of the terminal) registered in the center 10 is stored in the database 12.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the user database 12. In this example, for each communication terminal, an IP address that is a unique address used for connecting to the Internet, a telephone number used when calling the communication terminal on a telephone line, and an area determined by the address of the user of the communication terminal The type of information required by the user of the communication terminal is stored. The type of information required by the user is set according to the request from the user.

Returning to the explanation of FIG. 2, a telephone line transmission processing unit 14 is connected to the information notifying unit 11, and the information notifying unit 1
Under the control of No. 1, the telephone line transmission processing unit 14 executes a call on the telephone line. The case of making a call using a telephone line will be described later.

The service providing center 10 of this example is provided with an information storage unit 13, and the storage unit 13 stores the information provided by the information provider. The information stored in the information storage unit 13 is posted on the homepage established by the center 10. By posting the information on the homepage in this way, when the homepage of the corresponding address is accessed from the terminal on the Internet, the posted information is displayed on the terminal on the user side.

Next, a configuration example of the communication terminal 100 possessed by each user shown in FIG. 2 will be described. The communication terminal 100 of this example is connected to the telephone line 20 and also connected to the communication network for the Internet through the modem 90 for the Internet.

Telephone line 20 connected to communication terminal 100
Is connected to the line switching unit / switching unit 101, and the line switching unit / switching unit 101 performs the line closing / opening process and the line switching process. The line switching process is a process of switching between a so-called data communication system and a voice communication system. That is, the line switching unit / switching unit 101
A line interface unit 102 is connected to the telephone as a data communication system, and the telephone unit 1 is used as a voice communication system.
03 is connected. An incoming call detection unit 104 is connected to the line interface unit 102 and the telephone unit 103, and when there is an incoming call to the terminal 100 by the connected telephone line 20, the incoming call is detected. In this case, when the caller number information is transmitted at the time of an incoming call, the caller number is detected by the incoming call detection unit 104, and the detected caller number information is supplied to the telephone unit 103 side. is there. The telephone unit 103 may be connected to a means for communication such as a handset.

The telephone section 103 is connected to the main processing section 112. The main processing unit 112 is configured to execute processing necessary as a telephone device and processing related to access to the Internet. A display unit 105 is connected to the main processing unit 112, and when the Internet is accessed, the accessed homepage or the like is displayed on the display unit 105. Further, the main processing unit 112
Is connected to the line interface unit 102 via a telephone line modem 111, and is configured to perform data communication via a telephone line. Further, the main processing unit 112
A digital / analog converter 113 is formed in the inside, and the output of the digital / analog converter 113 is supplied to the speaker 114.
The speaker 114 can output the sound converted into analog in 3.

The Internet modem 90 connected to the Internet communication network is the communication terminal 100.
It is connected to an internal LAN (Local Area Network) control unit 106, and data is transmitted between the LAN control unit 106 and the main processing unit 112 via an internal bus. Further, the main processing unit 112 is connected to the ROM 107 and RA via an internal bus.
An M 108 and a flash ROM 109 are connected to these memories 10 when the main processing unit 112 processes data.
The data stored in 7, 108, and 109 are used, and the data that needs to be stored is stored in the RAM 108 or the like.

In the case of this example, these memories are used to previously register the telephone number called from the center 10 side through the telephone line, and when the registered telephone number is called. I have also registered the address of the homepage that I access via the Internet. The memory for storing the correspondence between the caller's telephone number and the home page address may be a rewritable memory so that the user can freely set it. Further, a plurality of correspondences between the caller's telephone number and the homepage address may be stored so that different homepages can be accessed for each telephone number.

Although the communication terminal 100 has been shown as an example of a dedicated communication terminal capable of accessing the Internet, it may be configured similarly using a communication function of a general-purpose data processing device. For example, a personal computer device and a communication means connected to the computer device may be used to form the same configuration.

Next, the processing executed between the center 10 described above and the communication terminal 100 registered in the center 10 will be described with reference to the flowchart. First,
The process when the information provider newly provides information on the side of the center 10 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4. The information notification unit 11 of the center 10 informs the information provider of new information. It is determined whether or not it has been obtained (step S1)
1). Here, when it is determined that there is no newly provided information, the process waits as it is. When it is determined that new information has been obtained, the information from the provider is posted on the homepage established by this center 10 (step S12).

If the new information posted at this time is information that needs to be notified to the user, the communication terminals providing the new information posted on the home page are listed (step S13). The data stored in the user database 12 prepared on the side of the center 10 is used for the listing here. For example, when the new information at this time is information that needs to be provided to all users in a certain area, all users having the area as an address are listed from the data of the database 12.
When the new information is information of a specific type, the communication terminals that need to provide the information of that type are listed from the data of the database 12. Communication areas may be listed by combining the area and type.

When the listing in step S13 is completed, the telephone number registered for each listed communication terminal is determined, and a process for calling the determined telephone number in order is performed (step S14). Each call here is performed in a state where the caller number is notified, and the call is stopped in a state where the other party is called. When the calls to all the listed communication terminals are completed, the process returns to the determination in step S11 and waits until the next new information is received.

Next, an example of processing in each communication terminal 100 called from the center 10 through the telephone line will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The communication terminal 100 waits for an incoming call through the telephone line (step S21),
When the incoming call detection unit 104 detects an incoming call (step S2
2) The line is opened / closed by the line opening / closing unit / switching unit 101 (step S23), and the telephone number information of the other party (caller) is received (step S24). Then, the line is once opened (step S25), and the main processing unit 112 determines whether or not the telephone number of the other party received in step S24 matches the calling telephone number of the center 10 registered in advance ( Step S26). In this determination, if the telephone numbers do not match, or if the telephone number of the caller cannot be detected, it is determined that the call is a normal incoming call, and the speaker 1
Normal incoming call processing such as ringing from 14 is performed (step S27). In the case of performing this normal incoming call process, when the user performs a hook operation in response to an incoming call, a voice call is started using a voice call means (not shown).

When it is determined in step S26 that the calling telephone number of the center 10 matches, the call processing for the incoming call at this time is not executed, and the ringing sound is not processed. Then, the main processing unit 112
Then, the communication network via the Internet modem 90 is used to perform the access process to the address of the homepage registered in advance by the center 10 (step S28). Then, in this access process, when the information of the home page of the designated address can be received by the communication terminal 100 side, the received information of the home page is temporarily stored in the memory connected to the main processing unit 112, and the display unit 1 is displayed.
At 05, the received home page information is continuously displayed.

The home page information displayed in step S28 is maintained until the user performs some operation on the communication terminal 100, for example. That is, for example, when an operation unit such as an operation key (not shown) is arranged on the communication terminal 100, the display unit 105 continuously displays the display unless an operation such as turning off the display is performed. However,
When the process of temporarily turning off the display is executed as the power saving process because the communication terminal 100 is not operated at all for a long time, the display of the information on the home page is also turned off, but the key operation etc. When the power saving process is cancelled, the display of the information on the corresponding home page is restored. Also, instead of turning off the display like this,
For example, when the display unit has a backlight for illuminating the display means, only the backlight is turned off during normal operation (when the user is not operating), and the received home page information is displayed. It may be continuously performed, and the illumination by the backlight may be performed when some operation is performed. Further, the information of the home page received and displayed may be stored in the storage means in the communication terminal 100, and may be displayed at any time by the operation of the user.

In this manner, the center 10 makes a call to the communication terminal 100 using the telephone line, and the communication terminal 100 side notifies the center 1 of the caller number notification at that time.
When it is detected that the call is from 0, it does not respond to the call made on the telephone line and is posted on the home page by accessing the pre-registered home page using the communication network for the Internet. Communication terminal 1 with new information
00, the information can be automatically displayed on the display unit 105 of the communication terminal 100, and the information can be delivered to the user quickly and reliably. In this case, since the operation of obtaining information from the communication terminal 100 side is performed, the direct center 1 regarding the information to be provided is provided.
The processing on the 0 side only needs to be posted on the homepage, and can be realized by the center 10 with relatively simple equipment.

An example of information transmission will be described. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, information about a special sale at a store is transmitted to a center 10 from an information provider, and the special sale information is stored in the information storage unit 13. When the information is accumulated and posted on the homepage, the special sale information is automatically displayed on the display unit 105 of the user's communication terminal 100, which is suitable for notifying the special sale information. Other examples include, for example, notifications for each region, contact information for each group, weather forecasts and fortunes sent at fixed times every day, real-time news, and guidance on cooking menus. Further, since the contact function using the display can be realized in this way, it becomes possible to send a message to a hearing-impaired person.

Further, in the case of the present example, since the telephone line is used only for calling the communication terminal from the center, the use of the telephone line is suppressed to the minimum, and the telephone line is used for the original purpose for a call or the like. To be used is minimized.

The home page provided with information on the side of the center 10 may be used in common with the home page open to the public on the Web site, but it is possible to use an address dedicated to access from the registered communication terminal. Good as a home page. Furthermore, on the center side, one access-specific homepage may be prepared for each user, and information to be notified to the user corresponding to the homepage may be posted on each homepage.

In the above description, it is assumed that the center 10 uses only one homepage address for information provision, but a plurality of information provision addresses are prepared to enable information providers and The addresses may be selectively used according to the type of information to be provided. In this case, for example, a plurality of telephone numbers are prepared for the telephone numbers on the calling side from which each communication terminal 100 is called from the center 10 so that each address and the calling telephone number have a one-to-one correspondence. For example, the communication terminal 100 side can know which address should be accessed.

The flowchart of FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the processing in the center 10 in this case. In this case, the information notification unit 11 of the center 10 determines whether or not new information has been obtained from the information provider (step S1).
1). When it is determined that new information has been obtained, the information from the provider is posted on the homepage established by this center 10 (step S12). At this time, for example, in the center 10, the information is posted on the home page of an individual address for each information provider.

Then, the communication terminals that provide the new information posted on the home page are listed (step S13). Then, the telephone number of the calling side corresponding to the address of the home page on which the information is posted in step S12 is selected (step S15), and the selected telephone number of the calling side is used to sequentially issue to the listed communication terminals. It is called (step S16).

Then, on the side of each communication terminal 100, the correspondence between the caller number and the homepage address to be accessed is registered in the memory in advance, and the telephone number to be accessed is judged from the telephone number of the other party at the time of an incoming call. Access the home page of the determined address. By doing so, it becomes possible to deal with the case where the information provided by many information providers overlaps on the center 10 side.

Further, instead of preparing a plurality of calling telephone numbers in this way, the center 10 side stores a home page to be displayed for each communication terminal that has made a call, and there is an access from the corresponding communication terminal. In that case, it is possible to deal with it by automatically moving to the home page of the stored address under the control of the center 10.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the communication terminal is configured as a communication terminal capable of accessing the Internet using a so-called always-connected communication network, but only while the Internet is being accessed. You may use what is called a dial-up type communication form which connects a communication line. When such a dial-up type communication mode is used, the telephone line connecting the center and the communication terminal can be used also for the communication network for accessing the Internet.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the wired telephone line is used as the telephone line, but a wireless telephone line may be used. Further, as a communication network for accessing the Internet, a wireless communication network may be used, and by configuring as a communication terminal using these wireless communication networks, the communication terminal is configured to be portable and movable. It also becomes possible.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the center is accessed when the caller number is detected on the communication terminal side when calling from the center, but when the call is received on the telephone line on the communication terminal side. Even if the caller ID cannot be confirmed, it can be dealt with. In this case,
When an incoming call is received on the telephone line connected to the communication terminal, the home page on the center side may be accessed. Further, for example, when a call is made from the center, a calling process is performed in which a ringing tone is sounded for a relatively short time of about 2 to 3 times, and only when the incoming call is detected by the communication terminal side, a specific call is made. You may also access the home page.

[0045]

According to the information providing system of the present invention, for example, when new information is accumulated in the server from the information provider, a call is made from the server side to the communication terminal through the telephone line and the call is issued. The communication terminal side called by the call accesses the server side to receive new information accumulated in the server. Therefore, when new information is stored in the server, it is automatically transmitted to each communication terminal, and information can be delivered to the communication terminals quickly and reliably.

In this case, when the communication terminal side detects the caller number at the time of incoming call, and the detected caller number detects the caller number of the server registered in advance, the access means assigns it to a specific address. By making the access, it becomes possible to reliably detect that the call is from the server side, and it becomes possible to reliably execute the call and access.

Further, in the case of this system, the access means of the communication terminal is configured to access the server by using a communication network different from the telephone line, so that, for example, the communication terminal and the server are always connected. When a communication environment that enables data communication is prepared, it becomes possible to receive the information stored in the server using that communication environment, and the telephone line is used to make a call from the server. Therefore, it becomes possible to minimize the use of the telephone line, and it is possible to minimize the interruption of the use of the telephone line due to a voice call or the like.

Further, in the case of the above system, when the provided information storage means of the server stores specific information,
The area or type that provides the accumulated information is determined, and a communication terminal that matches the determined area or type is searched,
By making a call to the searched communication terminal, it becomes possible to select and notify the communication terminal of the user suitable for providing the information accumulated in the server,
Information can be provided efficiently.

Further, in the case of the above-mentioned system in which the communication terminal side detects the caller number at the time of an incoming call, when specific information is stored in the additional information storage means of the server, the provider of the stored information is Accordingly, by selecting the telephone line to call, the communication terminal called by the telephone line sends information from which provider to the server based on the caller's number notified by the caller number notification. You will be able to judge whether it has been accumulated. Therefore, for example, it becomes possible to select an address to be accessed from the communication terminal.

Further, according to the communication terminal of the present invention, when there is an incoming call through the telephone line connecting the communication terminal, a process of accessing a server registered in advance is executed,
Information can be received from the accessed server. Therefore, the information distributed from the server can be quickly received, and when there is information to be distributed from the server side, it reaches the communication terminal side without requiring any special operation by the user.

In this case, when the incoming call is received, the caller ID is detected,
When the detected caller number detects the caller number of the server, the access means accesses the specific address, so that the call from the server side can be surely accessed.

The access by the access means is performed by using the communication network different from the telephone line, and for example, when the communication terminal is provided with a communication environment in which constant data communication is possible. , It becomes possible to receive information by using the communication environment, and it becomes possible to minimize the use of the telephone line.

In addition, when the caller number is detected, the access destination by the access means is selected according to the detected caller number, so that, for example, for each type of information or each information provider. By changing the caller ID, appropriate access for each type can be quickly performed.

Further, by providing the display means for displaying the information received by the information receiving means, it becomes possible to display the information received by the request from the server side.

Further, since the display means is provided so that the information received by the display means is continuously displayed until some operation is performed, the information distributed to the communication terminal can be seen by the user. The chances of getting it are very high.
