Description

Specification

Portable syndicated information distribution system

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an information distribution system using syndicated standard data.

In particular, the present invention relates to an information distribution system suitable for distribution to a mobile terminal or the like.

Background art

In recent years, a syndication type distribution method has been developed as a new method for distributing various types of content such as -use using the Internet or the like. In this syndication type, each content distributor publishes syndicated standard data for syndicating their own distribution information, while the information integrating side (user) is the syndication standard. By collecting data, information from multiple distribution sources can be handled in an integrated manner. As an example of this syndicated standard data, RSS (Really Simple Syndication / Rich Site Summary) files are now widely used. This RSS file is composed of summary data on newly arrived content on the web page of the distribution source. For example, various information such as a heading (title), summary, copyright, and update date is included for each content. This RSS file is often used on websites whose contents are frequently updated, such as news sites, blogs, and job listings.

[0003] In order to collect RSS files individually and browse them in an integrated manner, it is necessary to use an RSS reader. An RSS reader can register multiple RSS files. By registering RSS files of your favorite content distributors in the RSS reader, you can view the headlines of multiple sites distributed in an integrated manner using the RSS reader. Specifically, the RSS reader periodically accesses the distribution source server and acquires new RSS files. It looks for updated articles compared to previous RSS files. When the SS Reader screen is opened, the updated articles are displayed in chronological order, and if you click on the article you are interested in, the contents are displayed. [0004] Since current RSS files are described in XML (extensible Markup Language) format, they are in a format that can be processed automatically by software. Therefore, if the RSS file is standardized, as long as the RSS reader is compatible with it, the compatibility between the RSS file and the RSS reader can be maintained.

[0005] RSS readers are broadly classified into ASP types that are provided on websites and software types that are used by installing software on a personal computer. The ASP type is highly convenient because it can be used from any PC as long as the Internet connection environment is in place, but it is subject to functional restrictions by Internet browsing software. On the other hand, the software type can incorporate advanced functions.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

This portable syndicated information distribution system (hereinafter referred to as distribution system) 1 includes a content server 2, a management server 4, a mobile phone 6, and a content conversion server 7 as a hardware configuration. The content server 2 is operated by a content distributor, distributes various contents, and publishes syndicated standard data linked to the content distribution through a public communication line network. The management server 4 can be accessed from the mobile phone 6 and performs various information processing by being interposed between the content server 2 and the mobile phone 6. The content conversion server 7 is interposed between the content server 2 and the mobile phone 6, and converts the PC-only content of the content server 2 into a format that can be received by the mobile phone 6 and distributes it to the mobile phone 6. have.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 2, the syndicated standard data 8 published by the content server 2 is It is so-called RSS data, and the content title 8A, summary 8B, link URL 8C, etc. of the content linked with the new content distributed by the content server 2 are listed in XML format. Since these are in XML format, various items such as content creator, distribution time, and article category can be freely inserted according to the purpose. The syndicated standard data 8 is automatically updated in conjunction with the content distribution of the content server 2. Therefore, if the syndicated standard data 8 is periodically checked, the content server 2 will be updated. You can check the situation.

As shown in FIG. 3, the management server 4 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a display unit 13, an operation unit 14, and a communication interface 15, which are a bus 16 for exchanging signals. Are interconnected through. The control unit 11 is a CPU, and performs various controls and arithmetic processing according to a program to realize a target function. The storage unit 12 includes a ROM for storing various programs and parameters for controlling basic operations, a RAM for temporarily storing program data as a work area, a hard disk functioning as a database, and the like. The display unit 13 is a liquid crystal display or CRT display, and displays various image information during maintenance. The operation unit 14 is composed of a keyboard and the like, and inputs various commands and data. The communication interface 15 is connected to the Internet network or the like via a LAN or the like, and is an interface for communicating with the mobile phone 6, a personal computer (PC), and a server. The type of network for these communications is not limited, but for example, a public network such as a telephone network, a mobile communication network, ISDN, or a packet switching network, and a computer network such as a LAN, WAN, or Internet can be used. .

As shown in FIG. 4, the functional configuration including the software of the distribution system 1 includes a two-dimensional code 20 that can be scanned and read by the mobile phone 6 and a magazine 22 that distributes the two-dimensional code 20. A data acquisition unit 24, a registration management unit 25, a syndicated conversion distribution unit 26, an advertisement insertion module 26A, a display correction module 26B, a PC screen change module 26C, a forced update processing unit 40, and the like. The data acquisition unit 24, the registration management unit 25, the syndicated conversion distribution unit 26, and the like are realized by executing predetermined programs on the management server 4.

The two-dimensional code 20 can store a plurality of character information and the like as an image. Therefore, When the 2D code 20 is scanned with the built-in camera of the mobile phone 6, the scanned image is analyzed by the code analysis application and the stored information can be recognized. Based on the instruction of the stored information, the mail transmission application, the Internet access program, etc. of the mobile phone 6 are activated, and a predetermined processing operation can be executed. For example, in the two-dimensional code 20 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a syndicated identification information 20A for identifying a plurality of syndicated standard data 8 and a URL for transmitting the syndicated identification information to the management server 4 Information 20B, distribution side identification information 20C related to the magazine medium to which the two-dimensional code 20 is distributed, code management information 20D for identifying the two-dimensional code 20 itself, and the like are stored. The syndicate identification information 20A is a management ID assigned to each URL in the syndication acquisition access destination (URL) list registered in advance in the data acquisition unit 24 described later!

[0038] The distribution side identification information 20C includes information for identifying a magazine 22 to which the two-dimensional code 20 is distributed, a page in the magazine 22, a pasting position in the page, and the distribution thereof. This includes information such as the keyword of the surrounding environment (that is, the surrounding environment of the 2D code 20). For example, the management ID for identifying the magazine 22 may be included in the distribution side identification information 20C. The 2D code 20 displayed on the high-class Chinese food introduction page of the restaurant introduction magazine includes the distribution side. Keywords such as “restaurant”, “Chinese food”, and “luxury” may be stored as the identification information 20C. With this information, the user's preference attribute of the mobile phone 6 can be obtained based on an off-line scanning environment that is not the content power of the syndicated standard data 8.

[0039] The code management number 20D identifies the two-dimensional code 20 itself. For example, the code management number 20D can be specified by which issuer the two-dimensional code 20 is issued and charged by a affiliate system or the like. It can be used for programs. For example, the billing information is generated for the operator of the content server 2 in accordance with the scanning action itself of the 2D code 20 or the action via the syndicated standard data 8 based on the 2D code 20 (for example, shopping action). It is also possible to cash back part of the charge to the corresponding issuer. In other words, it is possible to assign a registered affiliate ID to the syndicated standard data 8 itself. [0040] From the above, even if the two-dimensional code 20 for browsing the same syndicated standard data 8 is included, the information included differs depending on the issuer of the code, the attributes of the distribution magazine 22, and the like. When the two-dimensional code 20 is scanned by the mobile phone 6, the mobile phone 6 accesses the management server and transmits various information to the management server 4.

[0041] Returning to FIG. 4, the data acquisition unit 24 periodically accesses the plurality of content servers 2 based on the pre-stored syndication acquisition access destination list 28, and is provided by the content server 2. Obtain syndicated standard data8. When generating this syndicated acquisition access destination list, the operator of the management server 4 may register, or the operator of the content server 2 accesses the data acquisition unit 24 and himself / herself It is also possible to register and obtain the access destination (URL) for obtaining Syndicated Standard Data 8 after distribution. Furthermore, the standard syndicate data 8 published on the Internet environment may be automatically collected and listed by a predetermined robot program. Here, the content server 2 is registered by the operator, and at that time, a PR title and a PR article are input, and a registration category is selected. As a result, the data acquisition unit 24 stores a plurality of syndicated standard data 8. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the data acquisition unit 24 can distribute the browsing application screen 50 generated using the registered syndicated acquisition access destination list 28 to the mobile phone 6. It is a function. In this browsing application screen 50, there are three levels of a large category, a small category, and a syndicate acquisition button. When the user of the mobile phone 6 presses the syndicate acquisition button (registration button), the registration management unit 25 described later is activated and the browsing application is completed.

[0042] Upon accessing the mobile phone 6 that has read the two-dimensional code 20, the registration management unit 25 obtains various information stored in the two-dimensional code 20, and obtains terminal identification information of the mobile phone 6. To do. Here, terminal device unique identification information that is automatically included when the mobile phone 6 transmits a URL request to the registration management unit 25 is used as the terminal identification information. This terminal device unique identification information is a number assigned to each device by the manufacturer of the mobile phone 6 or the mobile phone carrier to manage the mobile phone device. Therefore, it is possible to automatically carry the mobile phone 6 without requiring the user to enter an ID. The mobile phone 6 can be identified. In addition, a storage medium such as a card or semiconductor chip with a unique identification number or a semiconductor chip or a CPU medium is separately incorporated into a terminal such as a cellular phone 6 so that this identification number can be used as terminal identification information for the cellular phone 6. It is also possible to do. Specific examples include SIM cards and UIM cards.

[0043] The registration management unit 25 that has acquired the syndicated identification information 20A, the terminal identification information, and the like browses and registers the syndicated identification information 20A based on the terminal identification information, so that each mobile phone 6 (user) A syndicated identification information list (a so-called favorite list) 30 is formed. In addition to this syndicated identification information list 30, distribution side identification information 2OC is also stored, and it is possible to grasp the user attribute of what kind of paper is interested, including magazines 22 etc. The

Furthermore, the registration management unit 25 can accept registration of the e-mail address of the mobile phone 6. As a result, the registration manager 25 can send an e-mail to the mobile phone 6. In particular, here, e-mail can be broadcasted to a plurality of mobile phones 6 that are viewing and registering the same syndicated standard data 8. Therefore, the operator of Contentano 2 can also send an e-mail magazine to those who have browsed and registered the syndicated identification information 20A. Similarly, when the content server 2 operator updates the syndicated standard data that it releases, the registration management unit 25 can automatically notify the mobile phone 6 of the update information by sending an e-mail broadcast. It has become. By doing so, it becomes possible to obtain content update information by e-mail without the mobile phone 6 accessing the management server 4.

[0045] As already described in the data obtaining unit 24, it is also possible to perform browsing registration via the online browsing application screen 50. The browsing application button on the browsing application screen 50 and the scanning action of the two-dimensional code 20 have substantially the same significance.

[0046] Based on the syndicated identification information list 30 generated for each user of the mobile phone 6, the syndicated conversion distribution unit 26 extracts the corresponding syndicated standard data 8 from the data acquisition unit 24, and individually Convert to page (my page) 32 and deliver to mobile phone 6. At that time, the advertisement insertion module 26 A in the syndicated conversion distribution unit 26 is closely related to the browsing attribute based on the character information included in the terminal individual page 32. Advertisements can be inserted into this terminal-specific page 32. This advertisement can be in the form of a banner link or a text link, or it can be generated by generating syndicated standard data dedicated to the advertisement and mixing it with other syndicated standard data. .

[0047] It should be noted that as the browsing attribute, a browsing route between contents aggregated for each terminal identification information of the mobile phone 6 can be used. For example, when the mobile phone 6 browses a plurality of syndicated standard data 8 in order, the syndicated conversion distribution unit 26 stores the browsing history. Then, based on this browsing history, the browsing route (moving route) of the mobile phone 6 is analyzed, and advertisements closely related to the attribute are distributed to the mobile phone 6. As a result, it becomes possible to insert an advertisement according to the user's preference of the mobile phone 6 by referring to a plurality of syndicated standard data 8 and taking into account changes in preference over time.

[0048] Further, the advertisement insertion module 26A refers to the distribution side identification information 20C stored for each user of the mobile phone 6 in the registration management unit 25, and relates to, for example, the magazine 22 serving as a distribution member. Can be inserted. Therefore, advertisements are displayed based on attributes such as magazines 22 read in the past, not just the information actually displayed on the device-specific page 32, so it is possible to insert advertisements in line with potential impactful needs. become.

[0049] It should be noted that as the attribute of the distribution side identification information, it is also possible to use the movement route between the magazines 22 aggregated for each terminal identification information of the mobile phone 6. For example, when the mobile phone 6 browses a plurality of magazines 22 in order, the syndicated conversion distribution unit 26 stores the movement history of the magazines 22. As a result, an advertisement deeply related to the travel route of the plurality of magazines 22 can be distributed to the mobile phone 6. For example, if a movement history of soccer magazine A → soccer magazine B → soccer magazine C is accumulated, an advertisement related to a new soccer magazine D can be delivered to the mobile phone 6. In other words, it is possible to insert advertisements that match the preferences of the user of the mobile phone 6 with reference to a plurality of magazines 22 and taking into account changes in preferences over time.

[0050] The advertisement insertion module 26A can insert an advertisement related to the keyword attribute stored in the two-dimensional code 20. Therefore, the actual page number 32 The advertisement is displayed based on the keyword attribute stored in the 2D code 20 with some meaning other than the displayed information, so it is possible to insert the advertisement according to the strong impact and potential needs. It becomes like this.

[0051] In particular, as the attribute of the keyword information, transition characteristics between a plurality of keywords that are aggregated for each terminal identification information of the mobile phone 6 can be used. For example, if there is a transition characteristic such as shoes → bag → accessories as a keyword, for example, it is possible to insert an advertisement for a hat related to clothing.

[0052] The display correction module 26B of the syndicated conversion distribution unit 26 collects logs of the browsing status of the terminal individual page 32 by the mobile phone 6, and based on this log, the display order of a plurality of syndicated standard data 8 and The display order of the content titles is automatically rearranged to improve the convenience of the terminal-specific page 32. In this way, syndicated standard data 8 with a large number of browsing times is naturally displayed at the top. For example, syndicated standard data 8 that has not been viewed for more than a month can be automatically canceled to keep the device individual page 32 fresh.

[0053] Further, the PC screen changing module 26C of the syndicated conversion distribution unit 26 converts the terminal individual page 32 configured by the browsing registration of the mobile phone 6 into a PC dedicated individual page and distributes it. Specifically, when a conversion ID and password are sent from the mobile phone 6 to the PC screen change module 26C, this PC screen change module 26C power PC-only individual page that only the owner of this ID and password can view Is generated. Using this PC-specific individual page, it becomes possible to view favorite syndicated standard data 8 generated by using the mobile phone 6 by utilizing the scanning action of the two-dimensional code 20 on the PC. In addition, follow the new syndicated standard data 8 on the PC dedicated page! /, Kake, the additional calories will be reflected on the terminal page 32.

In this embodiment, every time new syndication standard data 8 is added by a plurality of users, the registration management unit 25 and the data acquisition unit 24 work together to display the syndication standard on the browsing application screen 50 as well. Data 8 is added. In other words, the user's new registration act is an act of supplementing the list that can be browsed. [0055] As shown in FIG. 7, the basic operation step of the syndicated conversion delivery unit 26 is to first accept access to the browsing URL from the mobile phone 6 (step 100), and to identify the terminal device unique identification included in the URL request. The information is automatically obtained (step 102), and then the syndicated identification information list 30 for each mobile phone 6 is retrieved from the registration management unit 25 based on the terminal device unique identification information (step 104). The syndicated standard data 8 corresponding to the syndicated identification information list 30 is obtained from the data obtaining unit 24 (step 10 6), and the mobile phone 6 can view individual terminals based on the multiple syndicated standard data 8. Generate page 32 (step 108). After that, advertisement insertion module 26A force Inserts an advertisement deeply related to the text information of the generated terminal individual page 32 and an advertisement deeply related to the user distribution side identification information 20C into the terminal individual page 32 (step 110). Finally, delivery to the mobile phone 6 is completed (step 112).

[0056] Since this syndicated conversion distribution unit 26 automatically switches the terminal individual page 32 to be distributed using the terminal device unique identification information of the mobile phone 6, this browsing-only URL is used for all mobile phones. 6 can be shared. Therefore, it is very convenient when announcing browsing URLs on media. Here, the case where the device individual page 32 is distributed based on the access from the mobile phone 6 is shown. However, even if the device individual page 32 is sent by periodic mail distribution once a day or the like. good.

FIG. 8 shows a sample screen of the terminal individual page 32. In this terminal individual page 32, the top page displays a list of titles 34 of the top contents of a plurality of syndicated standard data 8 (three types of A, B, and C in this case) that have been browsed and registered. This top page already has a link to the viewing application screen 50 described in FIG. 6 so that necessary standard syndicate data 8 can be added at any time. When title 34 of top content on the top page is selected, title 34 of all content of corresponding syndicated standard data 8 (A here) is selected as the lower link (here 4 types of content (1) to (4)) ) Is displayed in a list, and when each title 34 is selected, a summary 36, a related image 38, and a detailed jump button 39 are displayed. If you see the full-text article corresponding to this summary 36, you can access the full-text article of each content server 2 via the content conversion Sano 7 by clicking this detailed jump button 39. It is. In other words, the syndicated conversion distribution unit 26 in the management server 4 converts the link URL 8C included in the syndicated standard data 8 into a dedicated link that accesses the content server 2 via the content conversion server 7, and converts the link URL 8C individually to each terminal. It is displayed on page 32. As a result, the content conversion server 7 accesses the content server 2 on behalf of the mobile phone 6 to obtain necessary content, converts it into a format that can be viewed on the mobile phone 6, and distributes it to the mobile phone 6.

The syndicated standard data 8 included in the terminal individual page 32 is based on the syndicated identification information list 30 stored in the registration management unit 25 as described above. Therefore, in this embodiment, the registration management unit 25 can provide (transfer) the syndicated identification information list 30 corresponding to a specific mobile phone 6 to other mobile phones 6. Specifically, for example, a specific mobile phone 6 registers a transfer ID in the registration management unit 25 and informs the user of another mobile phone 6 of the transfer ID. The user of the other mobile phone 6 accesses the management server 4 and sends the transfer ID to the registration management unit 25 to make a transfer request. As a result, the registration management unit 25 adds the syndicated identification information list 30 registered by the specific mobile phone 6 in which the transfer ID is set to the syndicated identification information list 30 of the other mobile phones 6. As a result, when a user of another mobile phone 6 accesses the management server 4 and browses the terminal individual page 32, the syndicated standard data 8 regarding the newly added syndicated identification information can be browsed at the same time. In this way, you can give your favorite terminal individual page 32 to others.

[0059] In addition to the method of automatically registering the specific syndicated identification information list 30 in the other syndicated identification information list 30 by the transfer operation as described above, for example, in response to a request of the specific mobile phone 6 The terminal individual page 32 may be provisionally distributed to another mobile phone 6. The user of the other mobile phone 6 performs browsing registration individually according to his / her preference while browsing the terminal individual page 6 which received the provisional distribution. In this case, the transfer ID may be used in the same manner as described above. For example, in response to a request of a specific mobile phone 6, a transfer URL is delivered to another mobile phone 6 by e-mail. When another mobile phone 6 accesses the management server 4 using this transfer URL, the device individual page 32 is displayed. You may make it deliver and deliver. In addition, you can register the browsing list on the individual device page 32 itself and distribute the content list!

[0060] Next, the forced update processing unit 40 will be described. This forced update processing unit 40 rewrites the contents of the registered syndicated standard data 8 based on an external instruction via a communication line such as the Internet. Specifically, the forced update processing unit 40 distributes a forced update screen 42 as shown in FIG. 9 to a PC or a mobile terminal. The user logs in to this compulsory update screen, and rewrites his / her own syndicated standard data 8 stored in the data acquisition unit 24 in advance. Here, the title, summary, image, and detailed link can be updated via the forced update screen 42. Note that since the syndicated standard data 8 does not exist at the first time, the new syndicated standard data 8 is generated by the forced update screen 42.

[0061] By using this forced update processing unit 40, even if the content server 2 is not owned by itself, information can be distributed to the mobile phone 6 or the like using only the syndicated standard data 8. For example, discount coupons at restaurants, etc. are composed of titles, summary articles, coupon images, etc., so this syndicated standard data 8 can be used to complete the information sufficiently. Therefore, it is possible to make effective use of syndicated standard data 8 for advertising activities without distributing information through its own server. Here, only the update using the compulsory update screen 42 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the content is distributed to the management server 4 using an e-mail or the like having contents according to a predetermined format. By doing this, you can update your own syndicated standard data.

[0062] Although not particularly shown here, the content server 2 preferably includes a content registration unit, a page generation unit, and a mail transmission instruction unit. The content registration unit accepts new content via the Internet or the like by access from the operator. The page generation unit simultaneously generates a distribution page for PC and a distribution page for mobile phone 6 using this content in conjunction with the content registration by the content registration unit. In conjunction with content registration in the registration unit, an instruction to send an e-mail is issued to the registration management unit 25 of the management server 4. By configuring in this way, only content registration work by the operator is required, and PC-specific content can be It becomes possible to simultaneously generate contents dedicated to mobile phones, and furthermore, the new content itself can be sent to the viewer via e-mail via the management server 4. In addition, according to this configuration, dedicated content for the mobile phone 6 is also prepared, so the PC screen changing module 26C in the management server 4 is not required, and the load on the management server 4 can be reduced.

[0063] According to the distribution system 1 of the present embodiment, even with the mobile phone 6, it is possible to browse the content by utilizing the existing standard PC data 8 for PC. In particular, by storing the identification information for identifying the syndicated standard data 8 in the two-dimensional code 20, it can be viewed and registered very easily by the scanning action. By printing the 2D code 20 for each product in the mail order magazine and obtaining the syndicated standard data 8 on the mobile phone 6 side, the favorite information list can be used as a barrier to the content server 52. Beyond that, it is possible to build on one page.

[0064] For example, with regard to product information, the price, inventory status, etc. generally vary.

Previously, it was necessary to access each distributed content server 2 each time to obtain current price and inventory information. By using syndicated standard data in this way, real-time information on various products was obtained. In addition, it is possible to move to each content server 2 via the syndicated standard data 8 and perform product purchase procedures and the like.

[0065] At this time, as already indicated, in the present embodiment, information that can identify the two-dimensional code 20 itself can also be retained, so through which magazine 22 the product has been purchased, etc. Achievement fee-based billing that takes offline status into account can also be executed.

[0066] In this embodiment, since the ID for identifying the syndicated standard data 8 is stored in the two-dimensional code 20, the amount of information is significantly larger than the public URL of the syndicated standard data 8. Has been reduced. Therefore, since the amount of information of the two-dimensional code 20 is reduced, the reading accuracy can be increased.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, advertisement information can be inserted into the terminal individual page 32. At that time, referring to the configuration status of the terminal individual page 32 and the like, advertisements according to the user's preference of the mobile phone 6 can be distributed, so that the advertising effect can be enhanced. Also, Since the preferences set in the 2D code 20 can be used as reference information for advertisement distribution, it is possible to distribute advertisements according to more potential preferences.

[0068] Further, in this embodiment, it is possible to use syndicated standard data 8 created for a PC, and when browsing detailed information, the content is converted via the content conversion server 7. It tries to access server 8. Therefore, even if the content server 2 is for PC only, the difference in format and data volume can be avoided that the mobile phone 6 will refuse to view the content, and the content can be sent without being aware of the difference between the PC and the mobile terminal. You can browse.

[0069] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the device-specific identification information is used to identify the mobile phone 6, the terminal can be instantly identified by a URL request from the mobile phone 6. As a result, it is possible to perform browsing registration and terminal-specific page distribution with a single access via a reading action, which can be particularly convenient for mobile terminals with slow communication and processing speeds. In addition, since the forced update processing unit 40 enables the operation of the syndicated standard data 8 only on the management server 3 side, coupon distribution using the syndicated standard data 8 by using the forced update processing unit 40, Product information can be distributed, and settlement via this syndicated standard data8 is also possible. For example, if one syndicated standard data is generated for each product, it becomes possible to respond flexibly by changing the product price.

In the above embodiment, content and syndicated standard data 8 are distributed and arranged in a plurality of content servers 2, and the plurality of syndicated standard data 8 are centrally managed by the management server 4. The invention is not limited thereto. For example, one content server 2 may deliver a plurality of content groups each operated by a plurality of managers. In addition, the management server 4 and the content server 2 can be integrated or linked on the system, and the management server accesses the content server 2 and collects main information on content groups that are similar to syndicated standard data. It is also possible to make it. In this case, content group identification information for identifying the content group is stored in an information storage medium such as a two-dimensional code instead of the syndicate identification information. This content group identification information is transmitted to the management server 4 through the mobile phone 6. The registration management unit 25 registers the content group identification information in correspondence with the terminal identification information of the mobile phone 6. Based on this content group identification information, the data acquisition unit 24 of the management server 4 directly accesses a specific content group and collects and generates main information including update information. The syndicated conversion distribution unit 26 converts the main information collected from a plurality of content groups into a terminal-specific page that can be integrated and browsed by the mobile phone 6 and distributes it to the mobile phone 6.

Also with the above configuration, the data acquisition unit 24 can collect and generate main information as a substitute for the syndicated standard data by itself based on the content group identification information list for each terminal identification information. Therefore, it is possible to browse and register a plurality of content groups according to preference, and to efficiently browse a plurality of content groups without causing an excessive load on the mobile phone 6. Of course, it is also possible to insert an advertisement into the terminal individual page, broadcast an e-mail to the mobile phone 6, or transfer the terminal individual page to another mobile phone 6.

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, an image medium such as a two-dimensional code is used as an information storage medium that can be read by a portable terminal. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, an IC A circuit medium such as a tag may be used, or an audio medium that allows voice to be read by a mobile phone and a communication medium using infrared communication may be used. Furthermore, the syndication identification information stored in the information storage medium may be directly used as the identification information of the public URL of the distribution source, not limited to the ID.

[0073] Further, in the present embodiment, the case where syndicated standard data for PC is used is mainly shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and syndicated standard data provided by a content server dedicated to mobile terminals is used. It is also possible to do. PCs and mobile devices can be mixed, and information on the Internet can be obtained very flexibly.

It should be noted that the distribution system of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Industrial applicability

[0075] According to the present invention, it is possible to collect syndicated information by a mobile terminal.
