  Along with the spread of the Internet, a network business that provides regional information desired by users on the network is performed. For example, a user terminal on a user side and an information providing server that provides regional information are connected to the Internet. A system connected via the Internet, and by accessing the information providing server using an Internet function (I-mode, wireless LAN, PHS, etc.) installed in the user terminal, the area desired by the user There is a method for acquiring information from an information site of an information providing server.

  The conventional regional information distribution system has some problems. For example, in order to acquire the regional information desired by the user from the information site provided by the information providing server using the user terminal, the user must use the information site. The area information is searched from the abundant information sources stored in the area, and it is difficult to acquire the area information desired by the user unless the area information search condition is narrowed down. For this reason, it takes a certain amount of time and cost to retrieve and acquire the area information desired by the user from the information site provided by the information providing server.

  The regional information distributed from the information providing server to the user terminal is the regional information desired by the user, but the regional information is periodically distributed from the information providing server to the user terminal. Is not distributed from the information providing server to the user terminal at the time when the area information is required, and the user may not necessarily be the area information located at the current time. This is because only the local information registered in advance on the information site of the information providing server is distributed to the user terminal, so the current local information of the user is not always distributed to the user terminal, This is because the current local information of the user cannot be acquired instantaneously at the time required by the user.

  In this way, the conventional regional information distribution system requires a certain amount of time and cost to search for regional information, and the user terminal may receive indiscriminately including unnecessary regional information, In order for the user to acquire the regional information specified for the current region of the user, it takes a considerable amount of time for the user.

  Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-319049) discloses a ticket gate process using short-range wireless communication between a portable terminal having a short-range wireless communication function and a cellular phone function and an automatic ticket gate device. Only the technology to do is suggested, and no technology related to the acquisition of regional information is suggested.

  Further, in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-18523), predetermined information is stored in the portable information terminal device by using processing when a user holding the portable information terminal passes through the automatic ticket gate. Although the technical idea of being transmitted is suggested, in order for predetermined information to be transmitted to the portable information terminal device, the automatic ticket gate device receives the contract contents from the portable information terminal device when passing through the automatic ticket gate device. Information is distributed to the portable information terminal device after a predetermined time has passed since the user passed through the automatic ticket gate, and the information is distributed to the portable information terminal device. It takes a certain amount of time until it is done, and the portable information terminal device cannot acquire information according to the contract contents when passing through the automatic ticket gate.
