Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an advertisement printing system, and more particularly, to an advertisement printing system for printing various types of information distributed via a network such as the Internet together with an advertisement on a small fixed-size sheet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a communication environment via a network such as the Internet has become widespread, and a communication environment conventionally realized only by a university or a specific company has become widespread in ordinary households. Various kinds of information are provided actively. In recent years, PHS (Personal Handy
phone system) and mobile phones (hereinafter collectively referred to as "mobile phones") are provided with a function as a portable information terminal device, and various types of information distributed over a network can be received by the mobile phone. Was.

With the addition of a network connection function to a mobile phone, the penetration rate of the mobile phone has increased remarkably, and information distributed via a network has been increasingly distributed in a format exclusive for the mobile phone. I have. Since it is extremely important that a mobile phone is small and lightweight, it has a slower processing speed, a smaller memory capacity, and a greater restriction on software that can be installed as compared with a personal computer installed in a general home. Further, the display screen is as small as several inches.

[0004] Therefore, information in a format exclusive for a mobile phone is information in a format in which the number of characters of character information to be transmitted is equal to or less than a certain value, and the image information has an information amount of about one screen or less. As described above, the mobile phone can send and receive various information such as text information, image information, and music information as compared with the conventional mobile phone that has been used only for the purpose of conversation. At present, there are various restrictions.

[0005]

However, the information displayed on the display screen is limited due to the various restrictions described above in the portable telephone. Therefore, for example, map information created as image information for a mobile phone is coarsely created from the viewpoint of minimizing the amount of information, and can be displayed only somewhat coarsely on the display screen. Further, even if the mobile phone can receive fine map information having a large amount of information, the map information displayed on the display screen is eventually coarse because the display screen itself is coarse. In this case, fine map information cannot be obtained.

Further, when information transmitted via a network is received by a mobile phone and displayed on a display device, a certain amount of information is received and transmitted for one screen due to the limitation of the size of the display screen. Is displayed, and the display content is scrolled according to the operation of the holder of the mobile phone. In the case of information including character information and image information, for example, only the character information is first displayed on the display screen, and all the character information is displayed by scrolling according to the operation of the holder of the mobile phone. Information is displayed. It is conceivable that the information once displayed can be scrolled in the reverse direction depending on the model, but in models without such a function, it is necessary to obtain the same information again to display the information once displayed on the screen again. is there.

In recent years, a printer that can be connected to a mobile phone and prints various types of information received by the mobile phone on small, fixed-size paper of, for example, about B8 size has been realized. If various information distributed over the network can be displayed on the display screen of the mobile phone, it is considered unnecessary to print on paper. However, when printing on paper using a printer, the following (1) The advantages of (4) are obtained.

(1) Since the resolution of the printer is extremely finer than the display device provided in the mobile phone, it is possible to print detailed information that cannot be displayed on the mobile phone at one time. (2) For example, the information is distributed via a network. If the map information is printed in advance, it is possible to search for the destination while viewing the map printed on paper, without turning on the mobile phone and keeping the map information on the display screen of the mobile phone. The battery included in the mobile phone is not wasted because it can be used. (3) By printing only a specific type of information (for example, information distributed by a restaurant) on a fixed form of paper, the information is organized by type. (4) When printing is not performed, various information previously displayed on the display screen is displayed again on the display screen. It is necessary to perform communication by specifying rely on information distribution source storage to, is no longer necessary for communication that the specified distribution source after printing

[0009] However, as described above, since there is a variety of restrictions on information in a format exclusive for a portable telephone, for example, image information becomes coarse, and the advantage of the above (1) cannot be used even if this information is printed. There is. It is also possible to print the information displayed on the display device provided in the mobile phone as it is, but in such a case, the printing area does not fit on the standard paper, and the advantage of the above (3) cannot be utilized. .

Further, when distributing various kinds of information via a network, a server device for maintaining and managing the various kinds of information requires a cost. In order to bear this cost, a fee will be charged as an information fee from the user who has obtained the information to be distributed. However, if the user needs an information fee other than the mobile phone call fee, the number of accesses to the information may decrease. As a result, the maintenance cost of the server device cannot be obtained, and the maintenance of the server device is not performed, which is undesirable for the information distributor and the user. Therefore, if the information to be distributed is provided to the user with an advertisement and the maintenance and management costs of the server device can be obtained as the advertisement fee, the above problem is solved, and the information distributor, the general user who obtains the information, and For the benefit of all advertisers.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides an advertisement printing system capable of printing details of various types of information distributed via a network together with an advertisement on small-sized fixed-size paper. With the goal.

Further, since the advertisement information corresponding to the attribute information added in advance to the print information for which the print instruction has been given is transmitted from the server device to the portable terminal device and printed on a fixed form, the print information has no relevance. There is an effect that the advertisement effect can be enhanced as compared with the case where the advertisement is printed on the fixed form paper. Further, advertisement information corresponding to the holder information is printed on a fixed form sheet. Therefore, for example, an appropriate advertisement is printed according to the situation where the holder of the portable terminal device is currently located (for example, time zone or location), and thus there is an effect that the advertising effect can be enhanced.
