Next, it is checked whether or not a name is specified as the item type to be searched (S30). If the name is specified, “name” is set as the item type of the profile data corresponding to the profile number of the data. (S31), and if the item of “name” is included, the item value corresponding to the item of “name” of the data, that is, the item type of “name” of the profile data Then, item-specific data corresponding to the item number corresponding to is extracted (S32).
[0053]
Next, it is confirmed whether or not the item value extracted in the step of S32 matches the designated input value (keyword) (S33), and if they match, the data is added to the result list ( (S39), decrement the counter value by 1 (S40), and return to the step of S23 again. In step S33, if the item value extracted in step S32 does not match the designated input value (keyword), the counter value is decremented by 1 (S40), and the process returns to step S23. Return.
[0054]
If the name is not specified as the item type to be searched in the step of S30, that is, if the company name is specified, “company name” is set as the item type of the profile data corresponding to the profile number of the data. "Is included (S34), and when the item of" company name "is included, the item value corresponding to the item of" company name "of the data, that is, the" company name "of the profile data is checked. The item-specific data corresponding to the item number corresponding to the item type is extracted (S35).
[0055]
Next, it is confirmed whether or not the item value extracted in the step of S35 matches the designated input value (keyword) (S36), and if they match, the data is added to the result list ( (S39), decrement the counter value by 1 (S40), and return to the step of S23 again. In step S33, if the item value extracted in step S32 does not match the designated input value (keyword), the counter value is decremented by 1 (S40), and the process returns to step S23. Return.
[0056]
When the genre search is determined in step S26, the genre of the game is specified by referring to the leading numeral of the profile number specified in step S25 (S37).
[0057]
Next, it is confirmed whether or not the genre specified in the step S37 matches the specified genre (S38). If the genre matches, the data is added to the result list (S39), and the counter value is set. Is subtracted by 1 (S40), and the process returns to the step S23. In the step S38, if the genre specified in the step S37 does not match the designated genre, the counter value is decremented by 1 (S40), and the process returns to the step S23 again.
[0058]
Further, the processing of S23 and subsequent steps are repeatedly executed until the counter value becomes 0 in the step of S23. That is, the search is repeatedly executed until the search of all data stored in the barcode data table is completed. When the counter value is determined to be 0 in step S23, the display for displaying the search result screen including the result list is performed. Data is generated, and a data screen based on the display data is displayed on the LCD display 16 (S41).
[0059]
As described above, in the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment, the corresponding profile data is extracted according to the profile number included in the data acquired based on the two-dimensional barcode captured by the CCD camera 18. According to the display format defined in the profile data, item-specific data included in the data obtained from the two-dimensional barcode is output. For this reason, even when data having different notation methods and notation formats such as the description order and font information of each item are acquired based on the two-dimensional barcode, the data can be output according to the notation method and notation format.
[0060]

In response, the corresponding profile data is extracted, and based on the profile data, the item type of each data item is specified, and the item-specific data corresponding to the item number of the specified item type is input. Data that matches the search condition thus extracted is extracted, and the extraction result is output. For this reason, even if data with different notation methods and notation forms such as the order of description of each item are stored in the barcode data table, search conditions of any item type are input regardless of the notation method and notation form By doing so, data can be searched.
[0062]
Further, in the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment, the data obtained from the two-dimensional barcode is composed of only the item number and the item-by-item data corresponding to the item number, and the item type of each item-by-item data is displayed and output. At this time, data such as a display format is specified from profile data specified by a profile number. That is, since it is not necessary to include these item types and display formats, it is possible to minimize the amount of data that can be stored when encoding a two-dimensional barcode and the amount of data that is stored in the barcode data table.
[0063]
Further, the mobile phone 1 of the present embodiment has a function of connecting to the Internet 3 and can be connected via the Internet 3 to an application server 2 having a profile database in which the latest profile data is stored. It is possible to obtain necessary profile data from the application server 2. Therefore, even when necessary profile data is not stored in the profile data table, the corresponding profile data can be obtained via the Internet 3.
[0064]
In the present embodiment, the profile data is obtained when the profile data of the data to be output or the data to be searched is not stored in the profile data table of the storage unit 20 of the mobile phone 1. The latest profile data may be obtained periodically.
[0065]
In the mobile phone 1 of the present embodiment, the genre (use) of the data can be specified by the profile number of each data, and the data to be output on the menu screen or the search screen displayed on the LCD display 16 can be specified. By selecting the genre, data classified into the selected genre is extracted from the data stored in the barcode data table, and the extraction result is output as a search result screen. Therefore, it is possible to easily output only necessary data.
[0066]
In the profile data distribution system including the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment, when the profile data is not stored in the mobile phone 1 in advance, or profile data other than the profile data stored in the mobile phone 1 is required. Even in this case, since the profile data is distributed from the application server 2 to the mobile phone 1, the mobile phone 1 can obtain the necessary profile data.
[0067]
