Abstract: An information communication system includes a portable radiocommunication terminal, an information provision system in which various provided information can be readily acquired, and a server. The server and a plurality of portable radiocommunication terminals are connected via a network by a wireless connection. Send information and receive information are communicated between the terminal and the server according to a predetermined protocol and a predetermined communication data format respectively suitable for the network and independent of an established communication system. When a user of the terminal performs an operation for calling specifying a party according to the established communication system, the server receives send information including a request for calling and executes processing for information communication suitable for the established communication system. Data addressed to each terminal is received by the server and stored in the storage means of the server.

Abstract: A mobile communication device with a flat display of relatively large screen size, capable of displaying an HTML document, to enhance its operability. A personal information list written in HTML is present on the display. Anchor points are set to person names, phone numbers, FAX numbers and e-mail addresses in the list. Selection of these items with a pen causes their associated operations to be performed. The person names and their phone numbers of the list appear within a display window of the device with its cover closed. With respect to the anchor points other than those to the phone numbers, a special character string “KEYSKIP” is set in each start tag of the anchor points. A browser sequentially moves a focus among the anchor points in response to the rotating operation of a rotary push switch. In this processing, the browser will skip the focusing of the anchor points that has the “KEYSKIP” attribute added.

Abstract: An information search and display apparatus substantially reduces search time required in consecutively searching a plurality of files and/or a plurality of search terms.
