Description

Convenient data communication method of portable information terminal (portable computer, e-book, information terminal, web pad) using communication line (network) and installation environment of public telephone environment, card charger, unmanned (automated equipment such as finance) terminal {A convenient Data Communication method of the portable Digital Information terminal (Notebook computer, electronics book, personal digital assistant, web pad) to use Communications Network and environment of equipment}

Current portable terminals have a portable terminal capable of communicating by connecting a cellular phone with its own wireless communication function and a cellular phone, PC, LAN, and MODEM. These terminals can communicate only in a limited space where a communication environment is established or an expensive mobile phone fee is used to use the communication. The object of the present invention is to go beyond the limited communication environment, even if there are no mobile phones, PCs, wireless LAN, wireless MODEM, etc., the telephone lines, card chargers, unmanned financial terminals, unmanned integrated information terminals, etc. Or, they set up high-speed networks such as ADSL and VDSL on these devices to download and upload desired data, purchase them, send mail, and purchase and pay for the goods.

Telecommunication lines (public networks) such as public telephones, unmanned financial (general information) terminals, card chargers, and other high-speed networks such as ADSL and VDSL are installed on these devices to download and upload data, retrieve information, and send mail. In other words, you can buy and pay for goods.

① The development and dissemination of portable terminals such as PDA, WEB PAD, HAND PC, EBOOK, NOTEBOOK, WEBPHONE are improving functions and speed of dissemination rapidly every day. Most of these portable terminals have environment for communication such as MODEM, LAN CARD, SERIAL PORT and USB PORT, but due to the limitations of usage environment such as connection with office, house, mobile phone, high cost, and limited communication speed, they are not practical and economical. The reality is that they are not doing their part.

② Public telephones, web public telephones, card chargers, unmanned financial automation equipment, unmanned information terminals. This kind of device is connected to general communication network and high speed network such as ADSL, VDSL, etc. and has environment for communication such as MODEM, LAN CARD, SERIAL PORT, USB PORT or convenient environment for installation.

③ Coffee shops, restaurants, subway stations, bus terminals, public phone boxes, convenience stores, libraries, reading rooms, schools, schools, hotel lobby, banks, theaters, performance halls, etc. It has a convenient environment and facility for installing high speed networks such as general communication network, ADSL, VDSL, etc. at the place of use, so it is low in installation cost and convenient to connect and use the Internet, PC communication, BBS, EDI, etc. Do.

People who have a portable information terminal of ① can use the communication at a convenient and low cost in the environment of ②. Network operators can also set up networks without incurring high costs, and they will be able to create a significant amount of profits compared to general subscribers due to the usage fee.

1. Public telephones: It is installed in small shops on remote islands and in rural areas as well as on the street, giving convenience as a means of communication. It acts as a communication line.

2. Unmanned (information) financial terminals are located in convenient places such as convenience stores, stations, terminals, buildings, hotels, subways, banks, etc. This terminal also serves as a communication line (network).

3. Card chargers such as transportation cards are installed separately or together in places such as public telephones and unmanned (information) financial terminals, and serve as a basic communication circuit (network).

4. Card chargers, such as unattended (information) financial terminals and transportation cards, provide a means of credit card and bank transfer payments for electronic commerce.

5. The terminal uses the roles of 1,2,3,4 to search and purchase data and goods.

1. Where you can not use the Internet or telecommunications services such as telephone, Internet Adsl, Vdsl, etc., wherever you have a public phone, you can access the Internet or PC communication to search for information, make e-commerce, and work. And you can download and use the data (DATA) in the information terminal, or upload your own data (DATA).

2. If you have only portable information terminal, you can use the necessary information wherever you have a pay phone.

3. We can narrow the gap between rich and poor in the use of information. Even without expensive cell phones or expensive computers, living as a member of the information age is no problem.

4. These days, there are public telephones in trains and express buses, so when you travel or travel, you only need a portable information terminal to communicate data.

5. Portable high-speed communication networks such as ADSL, VDSL, etc. are installed in places where public telephones, card chargers, unmanned (financial) information terminals, etc. are crowded, such as subway stations, bus terminals, institutes, public institutions, large buildings, banks, etc. If you have a portable terminal such as an information terminal or a laptop, you will be able to contribute greatly to creating a practical information society by creating an environment where you can easily access the Internet from anywhere.
