Patent number: 8326940Abstract: The user of a mobile station which is prepared to receive information providing services from unspecified IP (Information Providers) accesses a gateway server and performs a pre-registration procedure (S71). When an IP server has information to provide to users, it constructs the information in the form of electronic mail, appends user attribute data, and sends this to the gateway server (S72). Upon receiving electronic mail with attribute data, the gateway server stores the electronic mail in a third mailbox, makes a comparison of the user attributes, and calls the mobile stations of relevant users (S73). A user who has received a call requests a download of the electronic mail from the gateway server (S74). The gateway server sends electronic mail to the mobile station which made the request (S75, S76).Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2004Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: NTT DoCoMo, Inc.Inventors: Masaaki Yamamoto, Katsumi Sekiguchi, Masaharu Nakatsuchi, Norihito Sekizaki
