2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, information retrieval by an electronic system such as the Internet has been performed by a search engine (search engine).
Search by keyword or genre. This mechanism is effective when searching for information from scratch in situations such as life, work, education, medical care, entertainment, etc., but cannot be easily searched due to the huge number of registered cases (database). There was inconvenience. In addition, there is a problem that it is very difficult to use an Internet-compatible portable terminal if the user does not have a personal computer on the go. On the other hand, even if the printed matter is convenient to carry, it is impossible to publish information in a timely manner and adjust the amount of information necessary for each user. The printed matter was inconvenient to carry because the weight increased as the amount of information increased.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Anytime, anywhere,
There is a need for a mechanism for easily obtaining information (including timeliness) required by individual users, and a mechanism for adjusting the amount of information required for each user in a timely manner.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is an electronic system that solves these problems. One example is a map used by travelers. An identification number that is regularly managed is written on this map, and a number is also written on a building or the like on the map.
The user accesses the homepage for mobile terminals prepared in advance and inputs the identification number of the map, and then inputs the identification number of a building or the like that requires information, and then detailed information is displayed. Compared to the current situation in which everything from searching to displaying information is performed by electronic devices or relying on printed materials, it is easier to search by combining printed materials with a homepage through an Internet-compatible portable terminal In addition, it is possible to obtain timely information and as much information as necessary. The map can be used according to the purpose at that time, such as a business notebook, a sightseeing map, a drive map, etc. Anyone can easily use it with simple input. In addition, not only maps, but also printed materials (not limited to paper), write similarly managed identification numbers,
It is a mechanism that can be combined with a homepage through an Internet-compatible portable terminal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Printed matter (FIG. 1-1) has a regularly managed identification number (FIG. 1-2) and a detailed identification number indicating a building or place (FIG. 1-3). It is noted. The user calls the mobile terminal home page input screen (FIG. 1-4) for inputting the identification number, inputs the identification number of the required information, and proceeds to the next step. The input data is searched for the corresponding data of the database server (FIG. 1-7) by the CGI program (FIG. 1-6) through the WWW server (FIG. 1-5), and the detailed identification number input screen (FIG. 1-8) ) To the user's mobile terminal. The user
Similarly, by inputting the detailed identification number of the required information and proceeding to the next step, the detailed information is obtained from the corresponding data of the database server (FIG. 1-7) by the CGI program through the WWW server (FIG. 1-5). Link to a WWW server (Fig. 1-9) with the necessary information screen (Fig. 1-1)
Call 0).

According to the present invention, the use of printed materials such as maps and magazines corresponding to the present invention is changed because there is no electronic system that can easily retrieve information according to the purpose on the go. The user himself / herself obtains the necessary printed matter, thereby performing a genre-based search, thereby making it easier to search for digital data. The user comes to demand a detailed identification number for the printed matter corresponding to the present invention, and a new labor market such as creation of digital data, management and updating of data is generated. Further, the printed matter covering the details corresponding to the present invention can be used both as a telephone directory and as a telephone number guide. Furthermore, it can be used for a sign board (plan view) fixed to a large facility, and the user can obtain more detailed information by adding pictures, moving images, and audio to the detailed information. The present invention
Answers can be called up by assigning identification numbers to question books and the like, not limited to use as maps, and timely, by attaching identification numbers to advertisements such as newspapers and flyers,
In addition, the electronic system can provide detailed information.
