  Only a portable mobile terminal having a GPS function can cope with such a conventional service. In addition, in order to acquire accurate position information with the GPS function, it is necessary to frequently perform packet communication between the mobile mobile terminal and the PC, and a packet fee is required. In addition, in a mobile mobile terminal having a GPS function, even if the mobile mobile terminal stays in the same place for a long time, position information is periodically communicated, so unnecessary communication may be frequently performed. This is not preferable from the viewpoint of effective use of communication resources as well as communication costs.

  Further, information that can be acquired by the GPS function is only information relating to positions such as latitude and longitude. So, for example, what kind of transportation (walking, train, bus, etc.) the portable mobile terminal holder is moving, and how much transportation cost was required for moving, It is not possible to obtain additional information such as what kind of store they visited and what kind of goods they purchased.

  The present invention has been carried out under such a background, and is capable of grasping the position of the portable mobile terminal irrespective of the GPS function and also obtaining additional information other than the position information. It is an object to provide a terminal, a position information display device, and a position information display system.

  The present invention generates position information from the result of non-contact communication or contact communication in a portable mobile terminal (for example, see Patent Document 2) having non-contact communication or contact communication function and mail transmission function, and sends the position information to mail. It is characterized by transmitting. Further, the position information display device that has received the mail displays the position of the portable mobile terminal based on the position information included in the mail.

  Alternatively, the mobile mobile terminal transmits a result of non-contact communication or contact communication by e-mail, and the position information display device that receives the e-mail generates position information based on the communication result included in the e-mail and displays the position information. .

  That is, a first aspect of the present invention is a portable mobile terminal provided with means for exchanging information by communicating with a predetermined fixed terminal.

  According to this, the position of the portable mobile terminal can be grasped from the information obtained by the information exchange regardless of the GPS function. Therefore, position information of the portable mobile terminal can be generated even in a portable mobile terminal that does not have a GPS function.

  For example, the information for searching is information including a station name, a store name, a place name, a postal code, and a telephone number, and the information holding unit holds longitude and latitude information as position information corresponding to these pieces of information. Means.

  According to this, as in the case of using the GPS function, longitude and latitude information can be provided as position information. Also, compared with the case where the GPS function is used, since the notification point of the current position information is limited to a key point such as a station or a store, the opportunity for the mobile mobile terminal to perform packet communication can be extremely reduced. The fee can be reduced. In addition, when the GPS function is used, even if the mobile mobile terminal stays in the same place for a long time, the location information is periodically notified, and thus invalid communication occurs. For example, since the location information is notified only when the mobile mobile terminal moves to the next place and communicates with a predetermined fixed terminal, invalid communication can be eliminated.

  In addition, it is possible to provide means for rewriting the information held in the holding means in accordance with the estimated mobile area of the mobile terminal.
