FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an operation example until the terminal device 2B of the information providing system S according to the first embodiment accesses and displays the PC URL. .

  In the information providing system S according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the contactless reader / writer 1A and the terminal device 1A are not used at the storefront. Therefore, the mobile phone 4 accesses the information providing server 3 by the browser function at any place where the mobile radio wave can be connected based on the operation of the user of the mobile phone 4 and receives the provided information. Then, the cellular phone 4 displays a portable display screen example 20 as shown in FIG. 6 on the display of the provided information (see the portable display screen example of FIG. 7).

  The portable display screen example 20 displays the same information as the above-described portable display screen example 10 and has the same function, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Then, when the “view on PC site” button is selected, the mobile phone 4 displays the provided information displayed in the information providing server 3 and the information (25,000 yen) displayed in the free comment column on the PC. This is transmitted as a request for URL registration (step S21, see FIG. 7A).

  At this time, unlike the first embodiment, the mobile phone 4 is information indicating unique information of itself (the mobile phone 4) in the PC URL registration request, and is different from the IDm (specific information of the present application). 2. An example of unique information, for example, “individual identification number of mobile phone” linked to the phone number of a mobile phone, issued by a mobile phone communication company for billing of official content, etc. A unique number for identification from the mobile phone (hereinafter referred to as “carrier UID”) is added and transmitted to the information providing server 3.

  In the database 3A, the IDm of the mobile phone 4 and the carrier UID are associated and registered as an identification information table.

  Then, the information management server 3 searches the IDm corresponding to the carrier UID transmitted by the mobile phone 4 with reference to the identification information table.

  In this way, the information management server 3 can specify the IDm of the mobile phone 4 based on the received carrier UID.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 6, when the information providing server 3 receives the carrier UID and the PC registration request (step S22), the information providing server 3 generates the Web page described above, and the terminal device 2B accesses the generated Web page. The PC URL is generated (step S23).

  Then, the information providing server 3 associates the PC URL with the carrier UID of the mobile phone 4 that has transmitted the PC URL registration request already associated with IDm, and stores it as a second PC transmission URL table. (Step S24, see FIG. 7D).

  Then, in order for the user of the mobile phone 4 to browse the provided information transmitted to the mobile phone 4 and the information input in the free comment column using the terminal device 2B at home U, first, the terminal device 2B The PC URL download site is accessed by the user of the mobile phone 4 operating the terminal device 2B. When a PC URL reception request is made through the site, an instruction to request input of IDm is displayed on the browser. The page data for displaying the browser screen at this time includes a script describing an instruction to operate on the terminal device, and after displaying an instruction to request the input of IDm, the script is described in this script. Wait for input event by command.

  When the user of the mobile phone 4 places the mobile phone 4 on the contactless reader / writer device 1B, the mobile phone 4 causes the terminal device 2B to read IDm via the contactless reader / writer device 1B. (Step S25, see FIG. 8B).

  When the terminal device 2B reads the IDm, the script is interpreted and executed by the CPU of the terminal device 2B, thereby confirming whether the input event is from the non-contact reader / writer device 1B. Is confirmed, the received data (the IDm) is transmitted to the information providing server 3 (step S26, see FIG. 8C).

  The information providing server 3 that has received the IDm searches the PC URL in which the received IDm is associated with the carrier UID with reference to the above-described second PC transmission URL table (step S27, (D of FIG. 7). )reference).

  When the PC URL in which the received IDm is associated with the carrier UID is searched, the information providing server 3 transmits the searched PC URL to the terminal device 2B to which the IDm is transmitted ( Step S28, see FIG. 8D).

  When the terminal device 2B receives the PC URL transmitted from the information providing server 3, the terminal device 2B activates a Web browser and displays the provided information or the like indicated by the PC URL on a display as shown in FIG. Display screen example 21 is displayed (see FIG. 8b: access result to PC URL (bookmark information)).

  The mobile display screen example 21 displays the same information as the PC display screen example 11 described above, and thus detailed description is omitted. For example, in the provided information and free comment fields displayed on the mobile phone 4 The displayed information is displayed.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, when the information providing server 3 receives the carrier UID, the PC address information for accessing the providing information transmitted to the mobile phone 4 and the mobile device Since the second unique information is stored in association with each other, by providing the terminal device 2B with the information that the user desires to provide in the terminal device 2B among the information provided in the mobile phone 4, It is possible to provide information between different devices.

  Further, since the information providing server 3 is configured to search for the PC URL associated with the carrier UID based on the received IDm and transmit it to the terminal device 2B, the non-contact reader / writer device 1A is used. Even when the information is not provided, by providing the terminal device 2B with the information that the user wants to provide in the terminal device 2B among the information provided in the mobile phone 4, information can be provided between different devices. .
