Patent number: 7386461Abstract: This invention provides methods of supplying information for fortunetelling wherein a user can receive useful information by accessing a fortunetelling site. A server delivers the fortune information to a client based on the presetting of the delivery at a fixed time everyday, the delivery at every hour, the delivery when the user's biorhythm is low, and the delivery when the fortune result is ill or good. When the delivery time is decided a computer calculates the fortune result out and the server delivers the result. When the delivery time is not decided the computer is preset to perform a fortunetelling and to calculate the fortune result where the computer judges good or ill result of the fortunetelling and thus the server delivers the fortune result in compliance with the judgment of the computer.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2001Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Inventor: Masahiko Kitagawa
