Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention in the above apparatus will be described. In addition, in the description of this operation, the member registration operation using the image transfer service and the operation of downloading the image to the mobile phone 4 will be described separately.

Member registration

In order to use this service, first, membership registration is performed.

10 is an operation flowchart showing a member registration operation.

First, the user of the cellular phone 4 activates the operation unit 96 of the cellular phone 4, selects a site of the IP server 1 on which member registration is performed, and transmits an HTTP request (step 100). In FIG. 10, it is shown that "GET http://IP1.menu.or.jp/uid=xxxxxxx" is transmitted from the cellular phone 4 as an HTTP request. Further, as an example of the request described above, "IP1" represents the IP server 1, "menu" represents the member registration menu screen, and "xxxxxxx" among "uid = xxxxxxx" is a unique identifier of the mobile phone 4 Indicates.

In the gateway server 2 that has received the request, the user ID corresponding to the unique identifier of the cellular phone 4 is retrieved from the user ID list table 70, and the unique identifier added to the received request is the retrieved user ID. It is converted and transmitted to IP server 1 (step 101). In this operation, since the unique identifier added to the request from the cellular phone 4 is "xxxxxxx", when the user ID corresponding to this unique identifier is retrieved from the user ID list table 70, it corresponds to "xxxxxxx". The user ID is "abcdefgh". Therefore, "xxxxxxx" is converted into "abcdefgh" and "GEThttp: //IP1.menu.or.jp/uid=abcdefgh" is transmitted to the IP server 1.

In the IP server 1, "uid = abcdefgh" is extracted from the received request "GET http://IP1.menu.or.jp/uid=abcdefgh", and the corresponding user is searched by searching the member list table 31. Check whether ID is already registered. If the corresponding user ID is not listed in the member list table 31, an HTML source for member registration is sent to the gateway server 2 as a response (step 102).

The cellular phone 4 receives the response and transmits a member registration request according to the command displayed on the screen (step 103). For example, suppose that as a request from the cellular phone 4, "http://IP1.request.or.jp/uid=xxxxxxx" is transmitted. Here, "request" represents a member registration request.

The gateway server 2 receives the request " http: //IP1.request.or.jp/uid=xxxxxxx" from the cellular phone 4, and by the same operation as step 101 described above, that is, a unique identifier is obtained. It is converted into a user ID and sent to the IP server 1 (step 104).

In the IP server 1, a member registration request is received from the cellular phone 4, the user ID described in this request, that is, "abcdefgh" in this example is newly written in the member list table 31, and the member registration processing is performed. Perform step 105. Thereafter, the member registration completion response is transmitted to the cellular phone 4 via the gateway server 2 (step 106).

By the above operation, member registration is completed.

Image data transfer

Next, the image data transmission operation after member registration will be described.

11 is an operation flowchart showing an image data transmission operation.

First, the user of the cellular phone 4 activates the operation unit 96 of the cellular phone 4, selects a site of the IP server 1 that performs image transfer, and transmits an HTTP request (step 200). In Fig. 11, "GET http://IP1.channel.or.jp/uid=xxxxxxx" is transmitted from the cellular phone 4 as an HTTP request. Further, as an example of the above request, "IP1" is an IP server 1, "channel" represents a request of an image transfer menu, and "xxxxxxx" of "uid = xxxxxxx" is a unique identifier of the mobile phone 4; Indicates.

In the gateway server 2 that has received the request, the user ID corresponding to the unique identifier of the cellular phone 4 is retrieved from the user ID list table 70, and the unique identifier added to the received request is the retrieved user ID. It is converted and transmitted to IP server 1 (step 201). In this operation, since the unique identifier added to the request from the cellular phone 4 is "xxxxxxx", if a user ID corresponding to this unique identifier is retrieved from the user ID list table 70, the user ID is "abcdefgh". " to be. Therefore, "xxxxxxx" is converted to "abcdefgh" and "GET http://IP1.channel.or.jp/uid=abcdefgh" is transmitted to the IP server 1.

In the IP server 1, it is checked by searching the member list table 31 whether or not "abcdefgh" which is the user ID among "GET http://IP1.channel.or.jp/uid=abcdefgh" is already registered. (Step 202). In the member registration operation, since the user of the cellular phone 4 has completed member registration, the user ID is described in the member list table 31. Thus, as a response, the HTML source for image transmission is transmitted to the cellular phone 4 via the gateway server 2.

In the cellular phone 4, the response is received, and according to the command displayed on the screen, the required image transfer request is transmitted (step 203). For example, assume that "http://IP1.channel.or.jp/chara=new1/uid=xxxxxxx" is transmitted as the request from the cellular phone 4. FIG. Further, of the request to be transmitted, "chara = new1" represents identification information of the required image to be transmitted, and "new1" represents the updated image, that is, image data of the character on the day.

In the gateway server 2, " http: //IP1.channel.or.jp/chara=new1/uid=xxxxxxx" is received from the cellular phone 4, and by the same operation as the above step 201, a unique identifier is obtained. Is converted into a user ID and sent to IP server 1 (step 204).

In the IP server 1, a request is received from the cellular phone 4, and in the same manner as in step 202, the member list table is searched and confirmed as a member based on the identification information of the image data described in the request. Then, the stored image data in the image folder 32 is read out and transmitted to the cellular phone 4 via the gateway server 2 (step 205). In this operation, since the request is "http://IP1.channel.or.jp/chara=new1/uid=xxxxxxx", the identification information of the image is "new1" and represents the image data of the character on the day, and the image folder The image data for the day is read from the 32 and transmitted to the cellular phone 4 via the gateway server 2.

In the cellular phone 4, image data is received, and the received image data is stored in the VRAM 92 and displayed on the display (step 206). On the other hand, when the downloaded image data is displayed again, this data is stored in the area 99 of the storage unit 95.

By the above operation, the image data of the character is downloaded to the cellular phone 4. In addition, even when storing the downloaded image data, since the image data is stored in an area of the storage unit controlled by the user, the stored image data is transmitted to others and newly infringed. No action occurs.

The second embodiment will be described.

Currently, various kinds of mobile phones are sold, and they have various screen sizes and image data of various sizes that can be displayed. Therefore, when only one kind of image data to be transmitted is prepared, there are cases where not only the display is correctly displayed but also cannot be displayed at all, and this depends on the type of mobile phone. Therefore, the second embodiment is characterized in that the image data according to the mobile phone model is prepared with the same content and the function of transmitting the image data according to the mobile phone model is added to the first embodiment. In addition, when describing 2nd Embodiment, the member number in drawing is the same as the same member in 1st Embodiment, and the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

Currently, in each service, when a cellular phone transmits a request, it transmits its own telephone model information. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the cellular phone is configured such that information on the telephone model is determined in the IP server 1, and image data corresponding to the telephone model is selected and transmitted. Therefore, as the image data to be prepared, as shown in Fig. 12, a folder for each telephone model is prepared in the image folder 32, and image data corresponding to the telephone model is stored in the folder of each telephone model. . In Fig. 12, folders of AAA telephone models to ZZZ telephone models are provided. In the folders of each telephone model, for example, the folder of the NNN telephone model, a folder in which image data for the day is stored, and past image data are stored. A folder for the back number is provided. In the same manner, an image transfer menu is prepared for all telephone models.

The operation of the above apparatus will be described below.

13 is an operation flowchart showing the operation of image data transmission for all telephone models.

First, the user of the cellular phone 4 operates the operation unit 96 of the cellular phone 4, selects a site of the IP server 1 which performs image transfer, and transmits an HTTP request (step 300). In Fig. 14, "GET http://IP1.channel.or.jp/uid=xxxxxxx user = NNN" is transmitted from the cellular phone 4 as an HTTP request. In addition, as an example of the request described above, "IP1" is an IP server 1, "channel" is a request of an image transfer menu, and "xxxxxxx" of "uid = xxxxxxx" is a unique identifier of the mobile phone 4; , "user = NNN" represents the model of the cellular phone 4.

In the gateway server 2 that has received the request, the user ID corresponding to the unique identifier of the cellular phone 4 is retrieved from the user ID list table 70, and the user ID retrieved the unique identifier added to the received request. Is converted to IP server 1 (step 301). In this operation, since the unique identifier added to the request from the cellular phone 4 is "xxxxxxx", when the user ID corresponding to this unique identifier is retrieved from the user ID list table 70, the corresponding user ID is "abcdefgh". Thus, "xxxxxxx" is converted to "abcdefgh" and "GET http://IP1.channel.or.jp/uid=abcdefgh user = NNN" is transmitted to the IP server 1.

In the IP server 1, whether the user ID "abcdefgh" is already registered among the received requests "GET http://IP1.channel.or.jp/uid=abcdefgh user = NNN" is checked in the member list table ( 31) check by searching (step 302). In the operation of member registration, since the user of the cellular phone 4 has finished member registration, the user ID is described in the member list table 70.

Therefore, from the "user = NNN" information of the portable model, the HTML source for image transmission of the NNN telephone model is transmitted to the cellular phone 4 via the gateway server 2 (step 303).

The cellular phone 4 receives the response and sends the required image transfer request in accordance with the command displayed on the screen (step 304). For example, suppose that as a request from the cellular phone 4, "http://IP1.channel.or.jp/chara=new1/uid=xxxxxxx user = NNN" is transmitted. Further, of the request to be transmitted, "chara = new1" represents identification information of the required image to be transmitted, and "new1" represents the updated image, that is, image data of the character on the day.

In the gateway server 2, "http://IP1.channel.or.jp/chara=new1/uid=xxxxxxx user = NNN" is received from the cellular phone 4, and the same operation as in the above step 301 is performed. The unique identifier is converted into a user ID and sent to the IP server 1 (step 305).

In the IP server 1, a request is received from the cellular phone 4, and as in step 302, the member list table is searched (step 306). Upon confirmation of membership, the request is moved from the telephone model information to the telephone model image folder, and based on the identification information of the image data described in the request, the image data stored in the image folder is read out and the gateway server is read. Transfer to cell phone 4 via 2 (step 307). In this operation, since the request is "http://IP1.channel.or.jp/chara=new1/uid=abcdefgh user = NNN", the telephone model information is "NNN", and the identification information of the image is "new1". " to be. This represents the image data of the character of the day on the telephone model, and reads the image data from the image folder of the NNN telephone model for the day and transmits it to the cellular phone 4 through the gateway server 2.

In the cellular phone 4, the image data is received, and the received image data is stored in the VRAM 92 and displayed on the display (step 308). On the other hand, when the downloaded image data is displayed again, this data is stored in the area 99 of the storage unit 95 (step 309).

By the above operation, the most appropriate image data for the telephone model is transmitted to the cellular phone 4, and the inconvenience of not being able to display image data of any telephone model can be avoided.

Further, in the second embodiment described above, the cellular phone 4 model information is configured to be transmitted from the cellular phone 4. However, a device in which a table in which the mobile phone 4 model and the unique identifier of the mobile phone 4 are associated with each other is described can be used in advance in the gateway server 2, and based on the unique identifier added to the request, When the request is generated from the cellular phone 4, the cellular phone 4 model information is retrieved from the above table, and the retrieved cellular phone model information is added to the request and transmitted to the IP server 1.

Even if such a device is used, since the IP server 1 can obtain the required cellular phone 4 model information, it is possible to select appropriate image data for the cellular phone model information.

The third embodiment will be described.

At present, it has been mentioned that the cellular phone can perform data transmission and reception, but by using this, each company can receive a so-called electronic mail service. On the other hand, the first and second embodiments described above are so-called pull type services. Thus, in the third embodiment, a so-called push type, in which an image updated daily is notified to the user by an e-mail and the updated image data set in the received e-mail is configured to be downloaded by the user in a link operation. type) service system.

Further, in the third embodiment, since e-mail is used as in the first and second embodiments, not only the web interface, that is, the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) communication system, but also the mail interface, that is, the SMTP (Simple Mail) Transfer Protocol) uses a communication system. Often, in the SMTP communication system, the gateway server 2 does not add the user ID to the e-mail. Therefore, in order to maintain the relationship with the user ID, specific processing is performed.

The apparatus will be described below. Incidentally, in describing the third embodiment, the member numbers in the drawings are described in the same manner in the same members in the first and second embodiments, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the third embodiment, the IP server 1 activates the e-mail function of the mobile phone 4 by responding to a request from the mobile phone 4 based on the HTTP communication system and using a function such as a CGI script. Means for generating a mail transmission list of a member who wants to transmit the e-mail transmitted from the cellular phone 4, for example, and notifies the e-mail to the member listed in the mail transmission list based on the communication system of SMTP. Means are provided.

In addition, as described above, since the transmission and reception of the electronic mail is performed by the SMTP communication system, the IP server 1 cannot obtain a user ID for identifying the user from the electronic mail. Thus, this embodiment is configured such that the means for generating the mail identifier is paired with the obtained user ID and is set and transmitted in the mail to which the generated mail identifier is transmitted.

This means is also implemented in the MPU 24 of the IP server 1.

The operation of the third embodiment will be described below. In describing this operation, the member registration operation using the mail transmission service and the operation of downloading the image to the cellular phone 4 will be described separately.

Register member to send mail

In order to use this service, first, a mail transmission member registration is performed.

14 is an operation flowchart showing an operation of mail transmission member registration.

First, the user of the cellular phone 4 starts up the operation unit 96 of the cellular phone 4, selects a site of the IP server 1 which performs member registration, and makes an HTTP request based on the communication system of HTTP. Transmit (step 400). In Fig. 14, "http://IP1.mail.or.jp/uid=xxxxxxx user = NNN" is transmitted from the cellular phone 4 as an HTTP request. In addition, as an example of the request described above, "IP1" denotes an IP server 1, "mail" denotes a menu screen of mail transmission member registration, and "xxxxxxx" of "uid-xxxxxxx" denotes a cellular phone 4 Denotes a unique identifier of ", " " user = NNN "

Since the request is based on the HTTP communication system, the gateway server 2 receiving the request retrieves the user ID corresponding to the unique identifier of the mobile telephone 4 from the user ID list table 70 and receives the received ID. The unique identifier added to the request is converted into the retrieved user ID and sent to the IP server 1 (step 401). In this operation, since the unique identifier added to the request from the cellular phone 4 is "xxxxxxx", when the user ID corresponding to this unique identifier is retrieved from the user ID list table 70, the user corresponding to "xxxxxxx" ID is "abcdefgh". Therefore, "xxxxxxx" is converted to "abcdefgh" and "http://IP1.mailmenu.or.jp/uid=abcdefgh user = NNN" is transmitted to the IP server 1.

On the IP server 1, whether the user ID "abcdefgh" is already registered among the received "http://IP1.mail.or.jp/uid=abcdefgh user = NNN" is sent to the mail transmission member list table 50. Check by searching FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the mail transmission member list table 150. In the mail transmission member list table 150, the user ID of the mail transmission service member, the mail address of the member, and the date of approval for performing member registration are contents. It is described in association with each other. If the corresponding user ID is not listed in the mail transmission member list table 150, a response for receiving a member registration request from the mobile phone 4 and for activating the e-mail function of the mobile phone 4, for example, Send mailer programs via CGI scripts. At this time, an identifier having a pair relationship with the extracted user ID "abcdefgh", for example, "200000504" is generated. The mail identifier " 200000504 " thus generated and the mail address of the IP server 1, for example, "mail@zpl.or.jp" are added to the response and transmitted. (Step 403).

The above processing is performed by the HTTP communication system.

In addition, since the processing of step 405 and later mentioned step 407 is performed by the SMPT communication system, the description of the gateway server 2 is omitted.

In the cellular phone 4, upon receiving the response, the e-mail transmission and reception function is activated (step 404). Then, the destination of the e-mail transmission is set to "mail@IP1.or.jp", and the sender of the mail is set to the mail address "user@xxx.or.jp" of the user (mobile phone 4). Further, the received mail identifier "200000504" is set in the sent mail (step 405). Then, the mail on which these settings are performed is transmitted based on the SMTP communication system.

At the IP server 1, an electronic mail is received from the cellular phone 4, and the user ID is specified from the mail identifier " 200000504 " set in the electronic mail. In addition, the user's mail address is specified from the source "user@xxx.or.jp" of the electronic mail. Accordingly, the user ID " abcdefgh " and the mail address "user@xxx.or.jp" are stored in pairs with each other (step 406).

After that, prepare a site to confirm membership registration. This site for checking is set so that only the mobile phone 4 having the user ID connected to the mail address can have access to the site. Then, the user's mail address is set for the destination address of the e-mail transmission, the mail address of the IP server 1 is set for the sender, and the member registration with the destination linked to the user ID dedicated site is confirmed. A mail for generating is generated (step 407). In Fig. 14, the user's mail address "user@xxx.or.jp" is set for the destination address of the e-mail transmission, and the mail address "mail@IP1.or.jp" of the IP server 1 is for the sender. "IP1.confirmation.or.jp" is set for a destination linked to a user ID dedicated site.

On the cellular phone 4, when the registration confirmation e-mail is received, and mail transmission registration is required, the link button set in the received e-mail is pressed, and the HTTP request is transmitted by the HTTP communication system (step 408). .

Since this request is an HTTP request by the HTTP communication system at the gateway server 2 that has received the request, the user ID corresponding to the unique identifier of the mobile phone 4 is retrieved from the user ID list table 70 and received. The unique identifier added to the request is converted into the retrieved user ID and transmitted to the IP server 1 (step 409). In this operation, since the unique identifier added to the request from the cellular phone 4 is "xxxxxxx", when the user ID corresponding to this unique identifier is retrieved from the user ID list table 70, it corresponds to "xxxxxxx". The user ID is "abcdefgh". Thus, "xxxxxxx" is converted to "abcdefgh" and "http://IP1.confirmation.or.jp/uid=abcdefgh user = NNN" is transmitted to the IP server 1.

At IP server 1, it receives the request and sends the HTML source of the site (step 410).

In the mobile phone 4, the HTML source is retrieved and displayed on the screen. If registration is required, the " OK " button displayed on the screen is pressed, and a member registration request is sent (step 411). In FIG. 14, "http://IP1.confirmation.or.jp/ok/uid=xxxxxxx user = NNN" is transmitted as an HTTP request.

Since this request is an HTTP request by the HTTP communication system at the gateway server 2 that has received the request, the user ID corresponding to the unique identifier of the mobile phone 4 is retrieved from the user ID list table 70 and received. The unique identifier added to the requested request is converted into the retrieved user ID and transmitted to the IP server 1 (step 412). In this operation, since the unique identifier added to the request from the cellular phone 4 is "xxxxxxx", when the user ID corresponding to this unique identifier is retrieved from the user ID list table 70, it corresponds to "xxxxxxx". The user ID is "abcdefgh". Therefore, "xxxxxxx" is converted to "abcdefgh" and "http://IP1.confirmation.or.jp/ok/uid=abcdefgh user = NNN" is transmitted to the IP server 1.

In the IP server 1, in response to the request, the stored mail address and user ID are registered in pairs in the mail transmission member list 150 (step 413).

By the above operation, member registration is completed.

Further, in order to carefully confirm the mail sending registration intention by the user, this embodiment is configured to confirm the registration intention again after registration of the registration confirmation site is linked and to register in the mail sending member list 150. However, the registration operation may be terminated at the time of receiving an e-mail from the user without again confirming the registration intention. In other words, this process is configured such that at step 406, when the user ID and the mail address have a pair relationship with each other, the mail address and the user ID are registered as a pair in the mail transmission member list 150. In this case, the process after step 407 is unnecessary.

Image data transfer

Next, the operation of transferring image data after member registration will be described.

16 is an operation flowchart showing an image data transmission operation.

First, when an image to be transmitted is added to the IP server 1, the IP server generates a mail in which the folder to which the added update image data is stored and a destination to which the linked link is read are read (step 500). The generated mail is then simultaneously sent to the mail address described in the mail transmission member list table 150 (step 501).

When the cellular phone 4 receives the mail and presses the link button set in the email, the request is automatically sent (step 502). For example, as the request from the cellular phone 4, "http://IP1.channel.or.jp/chara=new1/uid=xxxxxxx user = NNN" is transmitted. In addition, "chara = new1" of the request to be transmitted is identification information of the added update image, and "user = NNN" indicates the model of the cellular phone 4. FIG. In addition, a web-interface operation proceeds thereafter.

The gateway server 2 receives "http://IP1.channel.or.jp/chara=new1/uid=xxxxxxx user = NNN" from the cellular phone 4, the unique identifier is converted into a user ID, and the IP is received. Is sent to the server 1 (step 503).

In the IP server 1, whether the user ID "abcdefgh" is registered in advance among the received request "http://IP1.channel.or.jp/chara=new1/uid=abcdefgh user = NNN" is a member list table. Check by searching 31 (step 504). In the operation of member registration, since the user of the cellular phone 4 has finished member registration, the user ID is described in the member list table 31. Therefore, the request is moved from the telephone model information to the telephone model image folder, and the gateway server 2 is read by reading the image data stored in the image folder based on the identification information of the image data described in the request. Transfer to mobile phone 4 via step 505. In this operation, since the request is "http://IP1.channel.or.jp/chara=new1/uid=abcdefgh user = NNN", the telephone model information is "user = NNN", and the identification information of the image is is "new1". This represents the image data of the day character for the telephone model, reads the image data from the same day image folder of the NNN telephone model, and transfers it to the mobile phone 4 via the gateway server 2.

The cellular phone 4 receives the image data, stores the received image data in the VRAM 92 and displays it on the display (step 506).

On the other hand, when the downloaded image data is displayed again, this data is stored in the area 99 of the storage unit 95 (step 507).
