Abstract: It is intended to provide a mail service capable of maintaining user's anonymousness and preserving convenience of mail function. This invention enables connecting a forwarding mail address to be used for receiving mails with at least a mail address of a user and a forwarding criteria in generating the forwarding mail address; storing the user's mail address and the forwarding criteria as forwarding mail address information; confirming, in the case of receiving a mail sent to the forwarding mail address, the user's mail address to which the mail is to be forwarded and the forwarding criteria by referring to the forwarding mail address information to judge whether or not it is possible to forward the mail to the user's mail address; and forwarding the mail to the user's mail address in the case where it is judged that the mail can be forwarded.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to easily acquire necessary information at arbitrary times.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to distribute a variety of information to a user without the user being forced to perform an unnecessary operation, so that the effects produced by information distribution can be improved. An email, which serves as a search trigger, is received from a portable phone and a search query is extracted from the email, multiple predesignated searches of different types are then performed, in accordance with the search query, and based on multiple search results obtained by the searches, multiple reply email messages are generated, for which the transmission source address of the received email is regarded as the reply destination, and the reply email messages are transmitted to the reply destination.

Abstract: When a matching condition is accepted, a memory is searched to find a user ID that corresponds to an email address for the portable terminal that is the access source, and a temporary email address corresponding to the user ID is generated. Then, the temporary email address is registered in the memory in correlation with the corresponding user ID, and in accordance with the matching conditions, matching is performed for the user ID that is found. In accordance with the matching results, the temporary email address stored in the memory is employed to exchange an email with the portable terminal at the access source.

Abstract: There are provided a mail processing server, a mail processing method, and a mail processing program, which can more efficiently utilize server resources and construct a system at low cost. First, desired information is retrieved from any one of a dictionary DB, a story DB, and a game contents DB of a database in which information on information retrieval request is registered on the basis of state information corresponding to a current information retrieval request from a mobile phone. Then, a mail in which retrieval result information and state information relating to the retrieval result information are described is transmitted to the mobile phone. In response to a reply mail from the mobile phone, next information retrieval is executed based on the state information described in the reply mail.

Abstract: A message can be efficiently communicated by using a location accessed, in a virtual world embodied in a network by a portable terminal such as a mobile phone, as a trigger. By recording a message which is desired to be sent to a friend registered in a message record table of a database corresponding to a web server URL, the recorded message is distributed to the portable terminal of the friend when the friend accesses the web server using his/her own portable terminal. Thereby, a user can receive a message from a friend who knows his/her favorite music genre or artist when the user wants to download a melody and visits a melody distribution site.

Abstract: Providing content, such as a favorite ringing melody of user, to a mobile terminal by only accessing a server system via a mobile terminal without manipulation by the user. A user of the mobile phone registers a profile, including the artist whom the user likes, in the web server in advance. An application of the mobile phone is automatically activated every update time interval to access the web server. The web server reads out a ringing melody of the user's favorite artist from a database that contains a favorite ringing melody set of the user obtained from the user profile of the mobile phone, according to a request for downloading contents from the mobile phone, and transmits it to the mobile phone.

Abstract: A call control system which does not transmit a monotone ring-back tone to the calling party terminal but uses a calling period to dynamically provide content, such as, for example, music, voice and/or images, to a calling party in response to the identity of the calling party. Once profiles of users having the calling party terminal are registered in a mobile switching system, reproduction content composed of music, voice and/or images may be employed for the calling party terminal of the calling party, based on the profile of the calling party. As a result, the calling party may have an interesting time instead of having an uninteresting time until the called party answers the phone.

Abstract: A method for curing tires especially adapted for curing very large-sized or so-called giant tires which have not been generally in such demand as to warrant mass production characterized by holding the curing mold in a stably closed locked condition during the curing process under purely mechanical force in contrast to hydraulic force such as heretofore employed, comprising the steps of placing a mold unit composed of upper and lower mold halves and containing a semi-shaped "green" tire upon a stand of a mechanical press having a plunger mechanism supporting an upper housing member moved by means of a crank gear, driving the crank gear to a first position located ahead of its lower dead center a predetermined amount whereby the plunger mechanism and housing section are smoothly and continuously moved through an arcuate path from a raised position to a lowered position at which the plunger mechanism and housing member are adjacent the upper mold half, adjusting the position of the plunger mechanism relative to
