In the case of FIG. 4, plungers 52 are installed corresponding to all the buttons 51, 51... Of the server-side mobile terminal 4, but one plunger 52 operates a plurality of buttons 51, 51. It is also possible to configure so as to be able to.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a flow of processing of the information providing system 1 to the portable terminal.
When a customer makes a call from the customer portable terminal 2 to the server 3 (step S1) after seeing advertisements, notifications, etc., the server 3 receives the call (step S2) and determines the telephone number (step S3). The telephone number is referred to the database 6 (step S4).
If the corresponding telephone number is registered in the database 6 as a result of the inquiry, the mobile phone carrier information associated with the phone number is obtained from the database 6 (step S5), and the mobile phone carrier is supported. In order to cause the server-side portable terminal 4 to transmit a short message including the URL, a control signal for controlling the portable terminal operating device 5 is generated (step S6).

  If there is no corresponding telephone number in the database 6 as a result of the inquiry, a short message including URLs on the number of server-side mobile terminals 4, 4... Corresponding to the number of all mobile phone carriers based on the telephone number. Is generated, a control signal for controlling the mobile terminal operating device 5 is generated (step S6).

Then, the generated control signal is transmitted to the mobile terminal operating device 5 (step S7). Upon receiving the control signal (step S8), the mobile terminal operating device 5 acquires mobile phone carrier information based on the control signal. If the mobile phone carrier is operated, the server side portable terminal 4 corresponding to the mobile phone carrier is operated, and if the mobile phone carrier information is not acquired, each mobile phone carrier is supported. A button operation is performed on the server-side mobile terminals 4, 4... (Step S 9), and a short message including a URL from the corresponding server-side mobile terminal 4 or all server-side mobile terminals 4, 4. Is transmitted (step S10).
Note that the address of the short message can be created when the destination mobile phone number and the mobile phone carrier information are known.

If the mobile phone carrier information has been acquired, the short message transmitted from the server-side mobile terminal 4 passes through the mobile phone carrier device 10 if the registered mobile phone carrier information is correct. If the call arrives at the customer portable terminal 2 and is not correct, an error occurs and the customer portable terminal 2 is not received.
On the other hand, when the mobile phone carrier information has not been acquired, when all the server-side mobile terminals 4, 4... Send short messages including URLs to the customer mobile terminals 2, One message arrives at the customer portable terminal 2 via the cellular phone carrier device 10 of the correct cellular phone carrier, and the other short message becomes an error and does not arrive at the customer portable terminal 2. Processing in the case of an error will be described later.

  When the customer mobile terminal 2 receives the short message (step S11), the customer portable terminal 2 can display the short message (step S12), and when the URL displayed in the short message is clicked to select (step S13), the URL The server 3 is accessed via the server 3 and necessary information (for example, advertisement information, notification, coupon information, map information, campaign information, various information, etc.) based on the access from the customer portable terminal 2 (step S14). Is transmitted to the customer mobile terminal 2 (step S15), and when the customer mobile terminal 2 receives the web page (step S16), the web page can be displayed by a browser or the like (step S17). Information can be acquired. If the web page contains a URL, further information can be acquired.

In the process of the information providing system 1 for the portable terminal, the processes of steps S4 to S5 are performed, but the processes of steps S4 to S5 can be omitted.
In such a case, in the process of step S9, as in the case where the mobile phone carrier information is not acquired, each of the server side mobile terminals 4, 4. A button operation may be performed.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a flow of processing for determining whether or not the transmission of the information providing system 1 to the portable terminal is successful.
The mobile terminal operating device 5 transmits a short message from the server-side mobile terminal 4 (step S10), and when the screen indicating whether or not the transmission of the short message is successful is displayed on the server-side mobile terminal 4, the screen is displayed. The photograph is taken (step S21), and the transmitted photographed images of all the server-side portable terminals 4, 4,... Are transmitted to the server 3 (step S22). The image is analyzed (step S24), and it is determined whether or not the analyzed image is a successful transmission image of a short message (step S25). It is confirmed whether the telephone number of the customer portable terminal 2 transmitted from the portable terminal 4 and the cellular phone carrier information are not registered in the database 6. (Step S26), if it is registered performs the registration (step S27).

In the process of step S25, if the transmission is not successful, and if the transmission is a transmission when the mobile phone carrier information is acquired, the server-side mobile phone that has not been successfully transmitted. The processing after step 6 is performed on all the server side portable terminals 4, 4.
In the process of step S25, if the transmission is not successful, and if the transmission is a transmission when the mobile phone carrier information is not acquired, it is an unexpected error. Error countermeasure processing on the system is required.

  If registration is confirmed in step S26, the process is terminated. The process in step S26 may be confirmed by referring to the database 6. However, if the registration has already been confirmed in the query in step S4, the registration in step S27 is not performed and the query in step S4 is not performed. If the registration has already been confirmed, the registration in step S27 may be performed based on the transmission information of the server side portable terminal 4 of the transmission success image.

  In the information providing system 1 to the mobile terminal, the address of the short message service of the customer mobile terminal 2 can be used instead of the mobile phone carrier information. It is easy to determine the mobile phone carrier from the address of the short message service.

It is explanatory drawing of the information provision system to the portable terminal by this invention, and the system relevant to it. It is function explanatory drawing of the server by this invention. It is function explanatory drawing of the portable terminal operating device by this invention. It is explanatory drawing of the operation part of the portable terminal operating device by this invention.
