When the transfer destination address associated with the individual identification number exists, the html document is changed to a state in which the transfer destination address is input in advance in an input form, and is transferred to the Web server. On the other hand, if the transfer destination address associated with the individual identification number does not exist, the html document is transferred to the Web server while the transfer destination address is not input in advance in the input form. Then, the Web server transmits an http response including the html document passed from the address input support element to the mobile phone.

  Further, when the management server computer receives an http request including the site specific data, the transfer destination address and the individual identification number from the mobile phone, the management server computer, for example, prior to the process of step S2 according to the above-described embodiment, You may make it perform the process which functions a customer information management element as follows. That is, the customer information management element first searches the user information storage element for the transfer destination address using the individual identification number indicated by the http request received by the Web server as a key. Next, when the corresponding transfer destination address does not exist or when the search result and the transfer destination address in the http request are different, the individual identification number and the transfer destination address in the http request received by the Web server 301 are associated with each other. Processing to be stored in the information storage element is performed.

  If such an aspect is adopted, when the user accesses the transfer site for the second time or later from the same mobile phone, the transfer destination address is input in advance in the input form for inputting the transfer destination address. The input form page is displayed. Therefore, as long as the transfer destination address is not changed, it is not necessary to perform an operation for inputting the transfer destination address in the input form again, and the user's trouble can be saved.

  Further, in this aspect, when the user accesses the transfer site for the first time or when the transfer destination address is changed, the customer information management element stores the individual identification number and the transfer destination address in association with each other in the user information storage element. Therefore, the process of associating the individual identification number with the transfer destination address can be automatically performed.

  In the above-described embodiment, a single server computer is used as the management server computer. However, instead of a single server computer, a plurality of server computers connected by a communication line may be used as the management server computer.

  The user computer is not limited to a personal computer, and may be a television set equipped with an e-mail client and a Web browser.
