  • Patent number: 9380409
    Abstract: A positioning terminal (10) including a positioning function transmits location identifying information (IL) received from a positioning infrastructure (30), and transmits destination designating information for designating a destination of location-related information generated by an information generating unit (120) to an information providing server (100). With this arrangement, a user can receive the location-related information through a display terminal (20) not including a positioning function, without advance registration of a mapping table associating the positioning terminal (10) with the display terminal (20) in the information providing server (100). In this manner, the usability of an information providing system that provides location-related information related to locations is improved.
