Publication number: 20060035629Abstract: The objective is to offer increased flexibility in allocation of telephone numbers and achieve liberation from the restrictions on the total number of dial-in numbers. When at a server a receiver receives request information from a cellular phone as a requester (S01), a subaddress recognizer recognizes a subaddress included in the received request information (S02) and an address converter converts the recognized subaddress to an IP address on the basis of predetermined conversion correspondence information (S03). Then a data retriever retrieves content data correlated with the IP address obtained by the conversion, from a service DB (S04) and a data output part outputs the content data to the requester cellular phone (S05).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2003Publication date: February 16, 2006Applicant: NTT DoCoMo, Inc.Inventors: Mitsuru Kodama, Kenjirou Tsuji, Kouichi Takahara
