Abstract: An information mediating apparatus has: a mediating condition file in which mediating condition list data describing specific mediating conditions has been stored; and a personal information file in which personal information peculiar to a person, a group, or the like has been stored. A mediation service processing unit reads out the mediating condition list data designated in response to a mediating request from the user from the mediating condition file, notifies a backend server in a service providing server group, collects and selects service information matched with the mediating condition list data, and displays it to the user. The mediating service processing unit is constructed by: a user interface processing unit having an HTML forming function; and a logic processing unit described as an information mediating program.

Abstract: An information distributing program, a computer-readable recording medium recorded with the information distributing program, an information distributing apparatus and an information distributing method, capable of flexibly coping with various connecting terminals without processing the contents accumulated in information sources, by providing a mechanism for dynamically converting the contents created in arbitrary formats according to connecting terminals.

Abstract: A negotiation between a requestor and responders is mediated through a network. A mediation negotiating method has: a request forming step which forms requesting conditions in which priorities have been allocated to request contents in response to a mediating request of the requestor; a requesting step which forms a negotiation field between a plurality of responders selected in accordance with the requesting conditions and the requestor, inputs the requesting conditions, and notifies all of the selected responders of the requesting conditions; and a responding step which receives response information from the responders who participate in the negotiation field and notifies all participants including the requestor and the other responders of the received response information.

Abstract: A negotiation between a requester and responders is mediated through a network. A mediation negotiating method has: a request forming step which forms requesting conditions in which priorities have been allocated to request contents in response to a mediating request of the requester; a requesting step which forms a negotiation field between a plurality of responders selected in accordance with the requesting conditions and the requester, inputs the requesting conditions, and notifies all of the selected responders of the requesting conditions; and a responding step which receives response information from the responders who participate in the negotiation field and notifies all participants including the requester and the other responders of the received response information.
