For example, a case where music content is selected as a menu will be described. This will be described below.

When the music content is selected, a message prompting the user to input the title of the music album or the name of the singer is transmitted from the reservation computer 2 and displayed on the LCD panel 53. Based on the display, the user inputs, for example, a singer's name as information of a music album to be purchased.

Based on the input of the singer's name, the reservation computer 2 searches and extracts the title of the music album corresponding to the input singer's name from the distribution software DB registered in the storage device 85. All title names extracted as a result are returned, and the returned title names are displayed on the PHS terminal 5.

The user selects the desired music album if there is a desired music album among the displayed title names. If the desired music album does not exist, the user again selects the title of the music album. A search is performed in the reservation computer 2 by inputting a name.

If the user does not wish to make a reservation and does not select a re-search, the reservation computer 2 terminates by cutting off the line. A message prompting the input of the singer's name is transmitted again, and the system waits for input of search information.

When the user wants to make a reservation, he or she checks the contents of the album and then selects the desired reservation. When this reservation request input is made, the reservation computer 2 combines a reservation number that is individual for each reservation as identification information that can identify the reservation person, for example, date data with a serial number that is the number of reservations for that day. The determined reservation number and the telephone number of the user's PHS terminal 5 temporarily stored in the connection process are used to determine the title of the album (the code name for specifying the album). ) Are registered in the reservation database (DB) in association with each other, and the determined reservation number is returned to the PHS terminal 5 of the reservation person.

In response, the PHS terminal 5 stores the transmitted reservation number in the flash memory 67, and returns to the reservation computer 2 that the reception and storage of the reservation number are completed.

Receiving the reply, the reservation computer 2 disconnects the line as the completion processing of the reservation processing, and transmits the reservation (registration) information registered in the reservation database (DB) to the distribution computer 3. The reservation information output via the communication interface 82 is stored in the reservation database (DB) of the distribution computer 3.
Registered in. At this time, it is optional to enable the reservation of a plurality of contents repeatedly.

The state of receiving these reserved valuable contents will be described with reference to FIG. 9. When a user goes to a store where the sales terminal 10 is installed for shopping or the like after the reservation, it is built into the PHS terminal 5. A connection process is performed between the set Bluetooth unit 68 and the Bluetooth unit 30 inside the sales terminal 10, and when the reservation number remains in the flash memory 67, the ring tone of the PHS terminal 5 is output. At the same time, a message is displayed on the LCD panel 53 notifying that the reserved content is available.

[0038] Based on the display, the reservation person recognizes that the content can be obtained, and when the content is desired to be obtained, performs an input for requesting the content. Based on this input, the PHS terminal 5 sends the telephone number of the PHS terminal 5 to the sales terminal 10 via the Bluetooth unit 68 and the flash memory 67.
And the reservation number stored in.

Upon receiving the telephone number and the reservation number, the sales terminal 10 transmits the telephone number and the reservation number to the distribution computer 3 installed in the reservation distribution center 1.

The distribution computer 3 checks whether the received telephone number and the reservation information corresponding to the reservation number exist in the reservation database (DB), and when the corresponding reservation information exists, it is specified by the reservation information. The encrypted music data of the album as valuable content is returned to the sales terminal 10.

The encrypted music data transmitted to the sales terminal 10 is contactlessly downloaded to the PHS terminal 5 of the subscriber via the Bluetooth unit 30 and stored in the flash memory 67. When the data transfer is completed, the sales terminal 10 receives (transmits) the data to the distribution computer 3 and the PHS terminal 5.
Output completion data. Based on the reception of the reception completion data, the distribution history is registered in the distribution terminal database (DB) in the distribution computer 3.

As described above, since the download is performed in a non-contact state, the reservation person can freely move in the store and perform shopping or the like even during the download.
Although it is preferable because the convenience of the user can be improved, the present invention is not limited to this.

Based on the reception of the transmission completion data from the sales terminal 10, the PHS terminal 5 outputs a notification sound for notifying that the download of the content data has been completed, and displays "Download complete,
Please execute payment. "Message is displayed.

At this stage, the reservation person has the sales terminal 1
The user goes to 0 and inputs the telephone number of the PHS terminal 5 he owns from the numeric keypad 24. In response to the input of the telephone number, the sales terminal 10 checks whether or not the input telephone number is different from the telephone number registered in the reservation information. The title of the album and its cost are displayed on the display 14.

The reservation person inputs the cash of the displayed cost from the small cash processing unit 25 provided in the sales terminal 10 and executes the settlement, whereby the encrypted music is transmitted from the sales terminal 10. The encryption key data for decrypting the data is transferred by the Bluetooth units 30 and 68, and the PHS terminal 5 can decrypt and reproduce the music data.
From 9 a receipt is issued.

When the valuable content is a ticket, the ticket is printed by the full-color printer 17 and issued to the subscriber at the stage when the settlement is completed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the reservation person can obtain the valuable content reserved at his / her own convenience at any sales terminal 10, so that not only the convenience of the user can be improved but also the sales can be improved. Sales terminal 1 for stores
