(Operation)
A series of operations in the information providing system is as follows.
(1) When the store category is not registered The case where the store category is not registered is a case where the user brings the mobile terminal 200 close to the display portion of the facility on the poster 100. The facility information output RW 102 arranged on the back surface of the poster 100 corresponding to the display portion of the facility is converted into the mobile terminal 200 by the operation of the user bringing the mobile terminal 200 close to the display portion of the facility on the poster 100. IC chip mounted on is detected. By this detection, the RW controller 110 creates and creates a URL for acquiring facility information to which the ID (for example, 1) of the facility information output RW102 and the terminal ID of the portable terminal 200 (for example, 123224242) are added. The URL is transmitted to the mobile terminal 200.

As a result, the link destination to the content (for example, “http: //***.shutoku/servlet? Rw = 1 & fid = 123224242” in the URL) is displayed on the mobile terminal 200 of the user. FIG. 11 shows a display example on the display unit 206 of the portable terminal 200 at that time.
Then, when the user selects, for example, clicks on the display portion of the link to the content displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 200, the mobile terminal 200 is connected to the content distribution server 300.

  Thereby, in the content distribution server 300, the facility ID associated with the RW ID (the ID of the facility information output RW102) included in the URL for acquiring content with reference to the RW-facility correspondence DB 330 To get. Then, the content distribution server 300 refers to the facility information DB 340 and acquires facility information associated with the acquired facility ID.

  For example, when the registration information of the RW-facility correspondence DB 330 is configured as shown in FIG. 8 and the registration information of the facility information DB 340 is configured as shown in FIG. 9, when the ID of the non-contact IC chip RW102 is 1, The corresponding facility ID is 100 (see FIG. 8). As a result, the content distribution server 300 refers to the facility information DB 340 and sets “sample1.html”, “sample2.html”, “sample3.html”, “sample4.html” as the facility information associated with the facility ID = 100. As the URL of the content.

Then, the content distribution server 300 creates content to be distributed to the portable terminal 200 from the acquired facility information, and distributes the created content to the portable terminal 200. Thereby, in the portable terminal 200, the information (detailed information) of the facility where the portable terminal 200 is held is displayed on the display unit. FIG. 12 shows a display example on the display unit 206 of the portable terminal 200 at that time.
That is, as shown in FIG. 13, when the user brings the mobile terminal 200 close to the display portion 104 of the facility on the poster 100 (operation indicated by arrow A1 in FIG. 13), the facility related to the facility is transferred from the content distribution server 300 to the mobile terminal 200. Content including information is distributed, and the content is displayed on the mobile terminal 200 (flow of arrow A2 in the figure).

(2) When registering a store category The case of registering a store category is when the user brings the mobile terminal 200 close to the display of “store category registration” on the poster 100. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the poster 105 displays characters 105 “store category registration” at the edge thereof, and the portable terminal 200 is brought close to the display portion of “store category registration”. .

By such user operation, the store category registration RW 103 arranged on the back of the poster 100 corresponding to the display part of “store category registration” detects the IC chip mounted on the portable terminal 200. With this detection, the RW controller 110 transmits a store category registration URL to the mobile terminal 200. The store category registration URL includes the terminal ID (IC chip ID) of the portable terminal 200.
As a result, a link destination to the store category registration content (for example, “http: //***.touroku/servlet? Rw = 1 & fid = 123224242”) is displayed on the user's mobile terminal 200. .

  FIG. 15 shows an example of the store category registration screen displayed on the display unit 206 of the portable terminal 200 at that time. According to the example shown in FIG. 15, the items “coffee shop”, “convenience store”, “restaurant”, “ATM”, “company”, “bookstore”, and “all” can be registered as store categories. The item “all” means a store category other than the “all” (“coffee shop”, “convenience store”, “restaurant”, “ATM”, “company”, “bookstore”). Therefore, selecting the item “all” means selecting all the store categories, that is, substantially canceling the registration of the store categories.

  When the user registers a store category on the store category registration screen displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 200, the store category information is transmitted from the mobile terminal 200 to the content distribution server 300. In the content distribution server 300, the terminal ID of the mobile terminal 200 and the store category information are associated with each other and registered in the store category registration DB 320.

  After that, when the user brings the portable terminal 200 close to the facility display part on the poster 100, the facility information output RW102 arranged on the back of the poster 100 corresponding to the facility display part is mounted on the portable terminal 200. By detecting this, the RW controller 110 creates a facility information acquisition URL to which the ID of the facility information output RW102 and the ID of the portable terminal 200 (for example, 123224242) are added, The created URL is transmitted to the mobile terminal 200.

As a result, the link destination to the content (for example, “http: //***.shutoku/servlet? Rw = 1 & fid = 123224242” in the URL) is displayed on the mobile terminal 200 of the user. The display on the display unit of the portable terminal 200 at that time is the same as that shown in FIG. 11, for example.
The mobile terminal 200 is connected to the content distribution server 300 when the user selects, for example, clicks on the display portion of the link to the content displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 200.

  This time, the content distribution server 300 refers to the RW-facility correspondence DB 330 and acquires the facility ID associated with the RW ID (the ID of the facility information output RW102) included in the URL. Further, the content distribution server 300 refers to the store category registration DB 320 and acquires store category information associated with the terminal ID. Then, the content distribution server 300 refers to the facility information DB 340 and narrows down the stores that satisfy the acquired facility ID and store category information from within the facility.

  For example, the registration information of the store category registration DB 320 is configured as shown in FIG. 7 (when “restaurant” is registered as a store category in the terminal ID = 132322424 of the portable terminal 200), and RW-facility When the correspondence DB 330 is configured as shown in FIG. 8 and the facility information DB 340 is configured as shown in FIG. 9, when the ID of the non-contact IC chip RW102 is 1, the corresponding facility ID is 100 (FIG. 8). 8). As a result, the content distribution server 300 refers to the facility information DB and narrows down the stores in the facility corresponding to the facility ID = 100 using the “restaurant” that is the store category. As a result, the content distribution server 300 acquires “sample1.html” corresponding to “restaurant” as the content URL.

  Then, the content distribution server 300 converts the content content (here, the content content of “sample1.html”) into a format that can be displayed on the mobile terminal 200 and distributes the content to the mobile terminal 200. Thereby, in the portable terminal 200, the facility information (detailed information) related to the store belonging to the predetermined category in the facility where the portable terminal 200 is held is displayed on the display unit. FIG. 16 shows a display example on the display unit 206 of the portable terminal 200 at that time. This display example is a display example when the mobile terminal 200 is held over a display (facility information output RW102) corresponding to “XXX department store” when the store category information is registered as “restaurant”. .

  That is, as shown in FIG. 13, when the user brings the mobile terminal 200 close to the “store category registration” display portion 105 on the poster 100 (the operation indicated by arrow B <b> 1 in FIG. 13), When the store category registration screen is displayed and the user registers a store category on the store category registration screen, the store category information is transmitted to the content distribution server 300 (flow of arrow B2 in the figure).

  After that, when the user brings the portable terminal 200 close to the display portion 104 of the facility on the poster 100 (the operation indicated by arrow A1 in the figure), the registered store in the facility is transferred from the content distribution server 300 to the portable terminal 200. Content consisting of facility information related to the store narrowed down by category information is distributed, and the content is displayed on the mobile terminal 200 (flow of arrow A2 in the figure).
