  In the information display system having such a configuration, the server device 2 executes the following information display process, so that the information receiver does not own the mobile phone 1 or carries the mobile phone 1. Even if not, it is possible to transmit information from the user to the information receiver. The operation of the information display system when executing this information display processing will be described in detail below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[Information display processing]
The flowchart shown in FIG. 2 starts when the user connects the cellular phone 1 to the server device 2 via the telecommunication line using client software such as a web browser installed in the cellular phone 1. The information display process proceeds to step S1.

  In the process of step S1, the cellular phone 1 transmits to the server device 2 information (date / time information) on the date and time when information display on the display devices 3a, 3b, and 3c is desired according to the user's reservation processing operation. When there are a plurality of display devices as in the present embodiment, it is desirable that the user can select a display device that displays information during this process. Thereby, the process of step S1 is completed, and the information display process proceeds to the process of step S2.

  In the process of step S2, the scheduling unit 14 compares the received date and time information with the contents of the schedule file created up to now (details will be described later), and at the date and time when the user wants to display information, It is determined whether or not the user information display schedule is registered. According to such processing, it is possible to prevent the information display schedules of a plurality of users from overlapping on the same date and time and display device. If the information display schedule of another user is not registered as a result of the determination, the scheduling unit 14 advances the information display process to the process of step S5. On the other hand, when the information display schedule of another user is registered, the scheduling unit 14 advances the information display process to the process of step S3.

  In the process of step S3, the scheduling unit 14 refers to the schedule file and is close to the date and time when the user desires to display information among the dates and times when information can be displayed (there is no information display schedule for other users). The date and time information is extracted, and the information communication unit 11 transmits the information extracted by the scheduling unit 14 to the mobile phone 1. Thereby, the process of step S3 is completed, and the information display process proceeds to the process of step S4.

  In the process of step S <b> 4, the mobile phone 1 transmits information indicating whether or not information display is desired at the date and time extracted by the scheduling unit 14 to the server device 2 in accordance with the user's selection operation. Then, the scheduling unit 14 refers to the information transmitted from the mobile phone 1 to determine whether or not the user wants to display information at the date and time extracted by the process of step S3. A series of information display processing ends. On the other hand, when the user desires to display information at the date and time transmitted by the process of step S3, the scheduling unit 14 advances the information display process to the process of step S5.

  In the process of step S5, the server device 2 transmits a transmission request for display information such as image data and text data desired to be displayed on the display devices 3a, 3b, 3c to the mobile phone 1, and the mobile phone 1 The display information is transmitted to the server device 2 in response to the transmission operation. Thereby, the process of step S5 is completed, and the information display process proceeds to the process of step S6.

  In the process of step S6, the image processing unit 13 analyzes the content of the display information transmitted from the mobile phone 1, and displays the display information transmitted from the mobile phone 1 such as whether the content of the display information is contrary to public order and morals. It is determined whether or not there is no problem even if it is displayed on the display devices 3a, 3b, 3c. In order to ensure accuracy, it is desirable to perform this analysis process manually. If there is a problem as a result of the determination, the server device 2 transmits a message indicating that the information display process cannot be performed to the mobile phone 1, and then ends the series of information display processes. On the other hand, if there is no problem, the server device 2 advances the information display process to the process of step S7.

  In the process of step S7, the server device 2 transmits a message prompting registration of the user's personal information to the mobile phone 1 within a predetermined time such as 24 hours, and the mobile phone 2 receives the name according to the user's input operation. , Personal information of the user such as address, telephone number, credit card number, etc. is transmitted to the server device 2. Then, in response to receiving the user's personal information from the mobile phone 2 within a predetermined time, the server device 2 adds unique identification information (ID) to the user's personal information and records it in the user information DB 15. If the user's personal information cannot be received from the mobile phone 1 within a predetermined time, the server device 2 deletes the display information transmitted from the mobile phone 1 and ends the series of information display processing. Thereby, the process of step S7 is completed, and the information display process proceeds to the process of step S8.

  In the process of step S8, the image processing unit 13 converts the display information transmitted from the mobile phone 1 into a bitmap image, gives unique identification information (ID) to the converted bitmap image, and stores the image information DB12. To record. Specifically, when the display information is text data with attached photo data, the administrator of the server apparatus 2 determines whether the attached photo data is an image in a portrait orientation or a landscape orientation. After determining and performing coordinate conversion of the image data so that the image is displayed in an appropriate orientation on the display devices 3a, 3b, and 3c, an image combining the photographic data and the text data is converted into a bitmap image. At this time, the image processing unit 13 automatically converts the display information standard (for example, PNG file) transmitted from the mobile phone 1 into the display standard of the display devices 3a, 3b, 3c, or the size of the display information. Is converted into a size suitable for display on the display devices 3a, 3b, 3c. Thereby, the process of step S8 is completed, and the information display process proceeds to the process of step S9.

  In the process of step S9, the scheduling unit 14 records the display date of the display information, the display time, the identification information, and the information on the display device used for displaying the display information in the schedule file. Thereby, the process of step S9 is completed, and the information display process proceeds to the process of step S10.

  In the process of step S10, the server device 2 sends the bitmap images recorded in the image information DB 12 to the display devices 3a, 3b, 3c according to the schedule file created by the scheduling unit 14, and the display devices 3a, 3b, 3c, 3c displays the bitmap image sent from the server apparatus 2. Thereby, the process of step S10 is completed, and the information display process proceeds to the process of step S11.

  In the process of step S11, the server device 2 refers to the user information DB 15 and charges the user whose information display has been completed. Thereby, the process of this step S11 is completed and a series of information display processes are completed.
