Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. (First Embodiment)

First, the configuration of an advertisement distribution system as an additional information distribution system according to the first embodiment will be described.

In FIG. 1, an advertisement distribution system 200 according to the present embodiment includes a mobile phone 100, a storage unit (storage means) 211 for storing advertisement information as additional information to be output to the mobile phone 100, and a storage unit. An information output unit (information output unit) 212 that outputs the advertisement information accumulated by the 211, the advertisement information output by the information output unit 212, and call voice information input from another telephone (not shown) are multiplexed. And a multiplexing unit (multiplexing means) 213 for generating and outputting the converted signal.

The mobile phone 100 includes a multiplexing unit 213.
(Separating means) for inputting the signal output by the above and separating the input signal into call voice information and advertisement information
111, a storage unit (storage unit) 112 for storing the advertisement information separated by the separation unit 111, a display unit (display unit) 114 that is a liquid crystal display for displaying information,
The information generation unit 1 that generates information to be displayed on the display unit 114 based on the advertisement information stored by the storage unit 112
13 is provided.

Next, the operation of the advertisement distribution system according to the present embodiment will be described.

When the mobile phone 100 is in a call, the information output unit 212 outputs the advertisement information stored by the storage unit 211 to the multiplexing unit 213, and the multiplexing unit 213 to which the advertisement information has been output is output to the information output unit 212. And multiplexes the input speech information and the input call voice information to generate a signal, and outputs the generated signal to the mobile phone 100.

When the mobile phone 100 outputs a signal by the multiplexing unit 213, the mobile phone 100 separates the output signal from the demultiplexing unit 111.
Again to separate the call voice information and the advertisement information.
When the call voice information and the advertisement information are separated by the separation unit 111, the mobile phone 100 outputs a voice based on the separated call voice information from a speaker (not shown), and outputs the separated advertisement information. The data is stored by the storage unit 112.

Note that the multiplexing unit 213 distributes the advertisement information to the mobile phone 100 in an amount corresponding to the talk time.

Then, in the mobile phone 100, the information to be displayed on the display unit 114 is generated by the information generation unit 113 based on the advertisement information stored in the storage unit 112, and the generated information is displayed on the display unit 114. .

As described above, the mobile phone 100
Can display the information generated based on the advertisement information multiplexed and distributed to the call voice information on the display unit 114 instead of outputting the information by voice. Even if information is distributed, convenience can be ensured. Therefore, the advertisement distribution system 200 can display the information generated based on the advertisement information multiplexed and distributed with the call voice information on the display unit 114 of the mobile phone 100 instead of outputting the information by voice. Unlike the conventional advertisement distribution system, even if the advertisement information is distributed, the convenience of the call by the mobile phone 100 can be ensured.

The mobile phone 100 may be configured such that the information generation unit 113 generates information to be displayed on the display unit 114 by, for example, the configuration shown in FIG. 2 or FIG.

In FIG. 2, the portable telephone 100 includes a call state judgment unit (call state judgment means) 121 for judging whether a call is in progress or not. When the state determination unit 121 determines that a call is not in progress, information to be displayed on the display unit 114 is generated.

With this configuration, the portable telephone 100 automatically displays, as a so-called standby screen, information generated based on the distributed advertisement information during a non-call state in which the user looks at the display unit 114 relatively frequently. Since the information can be displayed on the unit 114, the information generated based on the distributed advertisement information can be relatively visually recognized by the user.

It should be noted that the mobile phone 100 has a storage 112
In the case where there is only one piece of advertisement information stored in the storage unit 112, one piece of advertisement information stored in the storage unit 112 is repeatedly displayed on the display unit 114. The displayed plurality of pieces of advertisement information may be repeatedly displayed on the display unit 114.

Referring to FIG.
Is provided with a display command input unit (display command input unit) 131 which is a button for inputting a display command of advertisement information by a user, and the information generation unit 113 converts the display command input to the display command input unit 131 Accordingly, information to be displayed on the display unit 114 is generated.

With this configuration, the mobile phone 100 can display the information generated based on the advertisement information distributed and stored in the storage unit 112 on the display unit 114 as many times as the user requests. Since the information can be generated, the information generated based on the distributed advertisement information can be visually recognized by the user more independently.

For example, the user of the portable telephone 100 can select the advertisement information of interest from the advertisement information stored in the storage unit 112 and display the selected advertisement information on the display unit 114.

Also, as shown in FIG. 4, when the advertisement information includes access information (Web address) to a Web site on the Internet 221, the portable telephone 100 responds to the access information included in the advertisement information. An access command input unit (access command input unit) 141 serving as a button for inputting an access command to a Web site of the Internet 221 by a user;
1 may be provided with an access unit (access means) 142 for accessing a Web site on the Internet 221 in response to the access command input to 1.

According to this configuration, the mobile phone 100 allows the user to access a Web site on the Internet 221 related to the distributed advertisement information. It can be visually recognized by the user.

For example, the user of the mobile phone 100 selects advertisement information including access information to a Web site on the Internet 221 from the advertisement information stored in the storage unit 112, and displays the advertisement information on the display unit 114. The Internet 221 Web that is displayed and related to the displayed advertisement information
b site can be accessed.

In the advertisement distribution system 200, as shown in FIG. 5, the mobile phone 100 is a selection command input unit (selection command input means) 151 which is a button for inputting a selection command of a type of advertisement information by a user. And the selection command input unit 151
And a notifying unit (notifying unit) 152 that notifies the information output unit 212 of the type of advertisement information selected by the user by wireless communication in accordance with the selection command input to the information output unit 212. The advertisement information may be output according to the type of the advertisement information notified by the notification unit 152.

With this configuration, the advertisement distribution system 200
Can distribute only the type of advertisement information desired by the user, so that information generated by the information generation unit 113 based on the distributed advertisement information and displayed on the display unit 114 can be used more independently. Can be visually recognized. (Second embodiment)
